But what makes me wonder about our souls perhaps being twin ( the aries thing, late March births, Hendrix, etc.) is your inclusion of "Marcus". Can't believe u r hip to that. Not really surprised though. A lot of times on here, I reserved from naming certain folks, because I just didn't think a lot of humans on this site (not counting u and pali) would even begin to know who the hell I was talking about. Wasn't even going to post on here, mainly cuz of that reason. Didn't want to see the same tired ass list of people thinking cuz they know of Funkadelic, they're "hip". Good inclusion of him and where in the world did u get that picture from? Damn, Aud! O.k. then, r u hip to the band "Black Nazty"? "Talking To The People" 1974 "The Nazty" 1975 "Nazty's Got The Move" 1976 Even more drugged out, spacey ass black rock. This shit was banging! Marcus Malone has been a friend of mine since the early 80s. My wife's father used to do his hair back in Detroit. We had an all Black rock group around L.A. for a bit. Did the "L.A. Tour". Did gigs with The Bus Boys, Rhythm Tribe, etc. Spoke with Marcus via email a few weeks ago. He's currently in England. Oh, the pic with the boots and the album covers are from his website. Black Nazty was Johnnie Mae Matthews (female Berry Gordy) son's band. I met Art back in the day when I did a gig at her club in Detroit. You're no doubt hip to Sound Barrier: Bernie K. - vocals Tracey Singleton (aka Spacey T) - guitars Emil Lech - bass Dave Brown - drums When the Marcus Malone band was rehearsing at Falcon Studios on Santa Monica Blvd., those same guys (plus a female vocalist) had an R&B band called Kahlua that rehearsed in the next room. During their breaks we'd always see them peeking in on our rehearsals. A few months later, the next thing I knew they'd dumped the girl, turned into a metal band and not much later had a deal with MCA. The sad part is even after they got signed, they were still doing the "L.A. Tour". tA  Tribal Disorder
http://www.soundclick.com...rmusic.htm When I first joined this site almost a year ago, I ran a thread "Best Black Rock Guitarist". After including myself on the list, Spacey T was one of the cats that I mentioned. I talked about seeing them live at The Whisky. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

I saw a video by The Dears recently and all the hype about that singer being "the black Morrissey" is spot on. | |

Maybe I should listen again. I don't remember which video it was. (Is there more than one?) I think during the choruses, he sounded more like himself, but during the verses I thought the Moz influence was very obvious. | |

http://www.soundclick.com...rmusic.htm Yep, Jean is cool. He's been through some hard times. Someone had stole ALL of his equipment, instruments, etc. He had to rebuild from that, which had to be rough, emotionally and financially. He said it almost broke his spirit. He bounced back though. He co-wrote some songs with Paul Stanley of KISS in the late 80's. There was even some serious talk about him replacing Bruce Kulick and joining KISS as a member, but manangement wasn't having it.

There was this "all black" metal band in the early '80's called "Black Death". I brought their (I believe) only album. I think they were from the midwest somewhere. They were truly sick, thought they were black version of Black Sabbath. I'll have to go in the garage and look for it and get back with ya. | |

Damn, I'm not hip 2 that. Black version of Black Sabbath sounds cool to me. Were they any good? U said they were "sick". Sick in a good way or bad way? SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

The album cover showed four black guys all geared in leather with long straight hair, with their tongues hanging out of their mouths. At that time I thought they were cool, they were very loud with some crazy(sick) lyrics. Today I doubt if I could stomach that. I know I still have the album somewhere in the garage, I'll try and find it. | |

Black Death After forming in 1977, this four-piece became one of the area's premier bands--not to mention its only all-black heavy metal group. Led by metal maniac/wrestling fanatic singer Siki Spacek--who never went out in public without wearing his guitar over his shoulder (even while working his day job as a safety patrol guard)--the band's black leather and chains, straight-ahead metal routine attracted a large following in the mid-'80s. After landing a deal with Auburn Records, Black Death released their self-titled debut in '85, a record that sold 1,000 copies within ten days of release. But one thing kept them down. "Their biggest problem was finding a replacement if a member quit the band--there just weren't that many black guys in town who could play metal," says Auburn Records president Bill Peters.

I don't know why I keep sleeping on "Black Jack Johnson"? The musicians I have the altimate respect for, I think it's Mos Def. You know the whole "rap-hip hop" lable he being associated with. I know I shouldn't stereotype anyone, but I just can't imagine his voice over their music. My bass player first brought this band to my attention so time ago and I just wrote it off as an attempt by these great musicians to try and grab some attention from the larger "hip-hop" audiance. I'm gonna give it a "open-minded" listen. [Edited 1/28/05 11:38am] | |
