i don't like it, fauxie. i don't.

it's a compulsion, like what predatory foot fetishists or flashers must feel.

it's a means to a very sad, sick, brutal end. sad



Why can't you be easy and slutty like Imago? You make things so difficult with your intellect and correct spelling and stuff. sad

lol hug You didn't know this about me? About my obsession with the boys? razz It's why everyone thinks I'm completely off my rocker around here and gives me so much shit for it. hehehe

Do you have the DVD that came out in 2003? biggrin
[Edited 8/21/06 7:22am]



I did NOT know.
I only have a very MILD obsession.
No, I don't have it.

Well, if you get the DVD that Jimmy Page took years to compile, you will have a bit more than a MILD obsession. nod That's what pushed me over the edge. boxed

It's a MUST HAVE for any rock fan. nod It's two discs of film/video footage of the band live from the very start ('68) until 1979. drool It really is mindblowing and the next best thing to actually having been there back in the day.

Here are some clips from the DVD that ended up on YouTube. biggrin The quality is much better on the actual DVD of course, but here's a sample...

The Ocean (1973)

http://www.youtube.com/wa...f0t_c8XNNc

Going To California (1975)

Not enough hair, maybe?

I like all the Clash's stuff, but London Calling is so far above the rest it's ridiculous. The punks might say that's when they sold out, but to me it's when they got creative.

20 songs, and they're all great, and all different, something you can't say about Nevermind the Bullocks.

They're actually kind of like the Beatles, who started as punks, too. 2 lead singers (one is the real soul & leader, though), and nobody shines as an individual musician, they play really well as a unit. And rather than stay with what worked in the beginning, they grew and evolved, and then went back to basics (a different kind of basics than they began with) on Combat Rock.

Cut the Crap doesn't deserve mention, so I'll leave it at that.

No, not about the hair.

I just could never get into them. I just don't like (it's Joe Strummer right?) the vocals on most of their songs for some reason. hmmm I'll give you that, that London Calling is a very diverse album though. nod But then, that's all I really know by them, is that album.

I find it odd myself that I don't like them more than I do because I grew up listening to punk rock and being part of that whole scene in the States in the 80s. The Clash just sort of fell by the wayside for me though.

I's just kidding about the hair

yeah, Joe Stummer. My girlfriend hates his singing, too, but he's who I called the "soul & leader" earlier. I love his singing, and I love that his songs are about something.

I just watched the dvd "The Clash: Westway to the World" and even his way of speaking is passionate & engaging, something else he shared with John Lennon.

Yes, I cannot stand his voice. lol I do like some of their songs though I suppose. One day maybe I'll grow to like them more. biggrin

And yes, Zep II for me as well to the above post. nod

Zeppelin I is also great, and II is just an extension of that. They were recorded within months of each other actually, but II was recorded on the road and so most of the more sexual songs (Whole Lotta Love, The Lemon Song razz ) although they were covers, were a direct result of their hedonistic experiences in L.A. and S.F. with the groupies and more specifically, the G.T.O.s, which really interests me. biggrin

II was always more exciting to me. And calling them cover tunes is generous of you, though they obviously "borrowed" quite a bit of material.

What's the G.T.O.s?

An all girl group that Frank Zappa put together in L.A. in the late 60s. Pamela Des Barres, the world's most famous groupie, was in it and she also wrote that tell-all book "I'm With the Band". biggrin She also "dated" Jimmy Page (among scores of other rock stars) which makes the book truly awesome IMO. razz









Sorry for the pic overload. lol I just happened to find a bunch of these photos just now.

I've never heard of the G.T.O.s though. I didn't know she had musician DNA, just that she contained it
