Kyyle23 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Sep 16, 2007 -> 09:02 PM) That is a great song. Not only that, but they are using the part of the song where they just break down and rage. Hum started me on a whole different path of music that I really never appreciated until the last 4 years. I listen to alot of bands who are similar to them now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Gleason Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Sex Pistols to do a one off 30th Anniversary show. From Yahoo: Tue Sep 18, 8:08 AM ET LONDON (AFP) - Punk legends the Sex Pistols announced Tuesday that they will stage a one-off gig in November to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their controversial album "Never Mind the B*llocks". The band, who spearheaded the 1970s punk movement in England with singles like "Anarchy in the UK" and "Pretty Vacant", will play London's Brixton Academy on November 8, they said on a music paper's website. "Maybe it's because we're all Londoners, but there would be no Sex Pistol without dear old London town," colourful frontman John Lydon, aka Johnny Rotten, said on NME.com. "See you all at Brixton with proper feelings and proper people all around. From London Bridge to The Rose And Crown, all of Britain is welcome so come on down," he added. All four surviving members of the band -- Lydon, guitarist Steve Jones, drummer Paul Cook and bassist Glen Matlock -- will perform at the London gig, they said. The band's original bass player, Sid Vicious, died after a drug overdose in 1979. The Sex Pistols were formed in 1975 but split in 1978. They reformed in 1996, and their last concert together was in 2003. Tickets for the November concert will go on sale on Friday, September 21. *sigh* Idiots. I guess simple fact checking is as dead as dumb-ass Sid. He was NOT the original bassist and only played with them for 6 months or so before they broke up.

DBAHO Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I'm listening to the new Jimmy Eat World CD "Chase this Light". 1st impressions are pretty good.

LosMediasBlancas Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I'm a lot older than most of people on here and I'm out of touch with a lot of things, so I rely on you guys for information. It seems like 90% of the time that I hear or read a recommendation for 'a great new band', it's always down tempo, acoustic, folky type s***. WTF happened to rock n roll music? Do you sit around at parties and listen to this down tempo s***? I don't mean to knock it, I'm just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Gleason Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Midnight Scraper "Glam"? They are listened to by the Glam community, but they are direct descendents of The Stones and Faces musically. I'll keep posting links if you want. I can't stand the mellow, weepy stuff.

A couple per week would be nice. It's a lot to digest at once. Thx. I remember back in the late 80's when the passing of the torch happened from the LA strip music scene to Seattle, I think it was Tommy Lee who called the new 'altena-grunge' movement 'revenge of the nerds'. I thought that was pretty funny. If 90's grunge was nerdy and dickless, what would he call the stuff nowadays?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tired of candy ass, cry baby, folky s***. Thx man. I'm such a dork. This has been driving me batty since you posted it. LOL! I purposely picked the bands I did because I was trying to avoid anything "Glam". The liking Supa but not Tokyo threw me for a BIG ol' curve, as they are very similar. But then I realized that the Tokyo site's soundfiles didn't seem to work when I was there. So I thought "HA MAYBE HE JUST DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING!!!". The thing is, though over there it says "Glam Scholar" (I wrote something for somebody looking for info on Rene Berg, who had been a temp in Hanoi Rocks back in the mid-80's, and when the piece was published it said my name, followed by "Noted glam scholar"! I died laughing!), I actually pretty much can't stand what most people in the US consider "Glam". I can't stand Poison, Warrant, Firehouse, and what I always refered to as "Cock Rock" and Hair Metal. It might look pretty, but that was where it failed. So most of what I cover in the magazine is straight up RnR, which when done in a certain style, is my ideal of Glam. Glam is basically whatever you were introduced to as Glam. For some it is Poison, for me it is Hanoi Rocks, NY Dolls, T-Rex, Dogs D'Amour, Quireboys, early Wildhearts, The Heartbreakers (Thunders, not Petty), Lords Of The New Church, Tigertailz (borderline Hair Metal...but too cool to fall all the way down...RIP Pepsi), Thee Trash Brats. Think Aerosmith and The Rolling Stones after a monthlong bender and you get the idea. We'll give it another go: Tokyo Dragons My Space site (70's style ROCK): http://www.myspace.com/tokyodragons Midnight Scraper My Space site (if you enjoy The Stones, Faces, Black Crowes with them listing these as influences: "Leon Russell, Solomon Burke, Taj Mahal, Sly Stone, Aretha Franklin, Ronnie Wood, Keef, Otis Rush, Ike&Tina, Jackson Browne, Sam Cooke, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Little Feat, Jimi, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Rod Stewart, Mick Taylor, Gram, Stevie, Beatles....well I guess you can say that we dig old american music like blues, country, soul, rock'n'roll and we love the people who have copied it over the years...."): http://www.myspace.com/midnightscraper My Mom even LOVES Midnight Scraper because of how much they remind her of the stuff like Sam Cooke and what was on the radio when she was a teen.
