Natisse said:

Will do.


Right now all I can think of that I really want to add for sure is Andy Pratt's "Avenging Annie" and I'm not even sure if that really qualifies.

Aw, who am I kidding? It's going on no matter what.

Lots of T. Rex, Bowie, Sweet, Slade, Mott the Hoople, Roxy Music, etc. You can't go wrong with any of those. T. Rex's Get It On (Bang a Gong) to me, is the epitome of 70s glam rock actually.

This is actually a great glam rock site that someone put together that covers just about everything glam-related. They really break it down, and it seems to be lovingly put together by someone who really knows and loves the genre.

39. Dance With The Devil - Powell, Cozy
40. New York Groove - Hello
41. I Love Rock 'n' Roll - Arrows
42. Can The Can - Quatro, Suzi

Not that you want to copy this one, but it gives you some suggestions, because I am too lazy to think up my own favorites right now. Some on that album up there are questionable (as in, I never considered or knew they were "glam rock" in the first place), and some I had never even heard of, but it's pretty good. I put the ones I like most in bold.

Some other T. Rex favorites of mine that aren't the usual top 3 are:

Rabbit Fighter
Sunken Rags
The Slider
Telegram Sam
The Groover
Jeepster
Electric Slim and the Factory
Jitterbug Love
The Street and Babe Shadow
Beltane Walk
Seagull Woman
Metal Guru
Mambo Sun
Rip Off

If you can get ANY of these songs, it would be a great addition to your compilation.

I just love me some Marc Bolan.

Damn, now I wanna hear that comp. I should copy it to my hard drive at work just in case glam threads like this one start up on the org.

sextonseven said:

Hey sex, I've ran threads on glam artists on here in the past and I don't recall YOUR ass ever posting! So I don't want to hear that shit!

blackguitaristz said:

I like glam a lot, but I will be the first to admit that I'm no expert on the genre like you are.

Oh shit....

Natisse said:

Hello Natisse. Did u go see the KISS film on the 28th?

blackguitaristz said:

no hon it wasn't showing here in the UK that I know of... did you?

Natisse said:

Yeah. It was cool. Better than I thought. Although I already had MOST of the footage on bootleg, it looked and sounded cool on the big screen. It's coming out on dvd. Then u could check it out.

pick up the "velvet goldmine" soundtrack... and see the film

cborgman said:

The movie is o.k. I actually got up and walked out on it when I went to go see it in the theatre. I seriously wasn't in the mood for seeing a lot of the shit that I think fucked up the film. Watching it at home, I was able to skip over certain shit. Didn't like the cat who played Iggy/Lou Reed. The cat that was supposed to be Bowie, ..I don't know,.. all of the characters were waaaay over the top. And not in a good way. Bowie's management at the time, MainMan, was probaly the most accurate in the film. But overall, the characters are too "bitchy". The real artists, Bowie, Iggy, Lou, had to be more well balanced than that. Or they never would have made it in the industry. I know it's a movie based for entertainment but, I thought it undercut the artists in a way. The writer took real life scenerios and twisted it up in a way to serve some kind of purpose. If that shit didn't go down, then don't portray the artists in that light. Don't pass it off as fact. Great song selection for the soundtrack though. "Satalite of Love" was a perfect fit.

blackguitaristz said:

that's why they are not called iggy pop and david bowie. it's not a bio, it's a kind of drug fuelled imiginative take on it, not a biopic by any measure

meow85 said:

uhh... this is why I want you to post your playlist I've not heard of him

whole bunches o' stuff and a lovely piccy to boot!

Bowie, is that you?

minneapolisgenius said:

Woah! You just reminded me fo a whole bunch of songs I'd forgotten about!

Thanks for the link, looks like a great site.

cborgman said:

Done and seen. The movie's got it's flaws, but I'd count it easily as one of my faves.

Though I don't buy Bowie's line about not liking it because he doesn't feel it's accurate or whichever. Of course it's not going to be accurate! It wasn't supposed to be. It's a fictionalized, slightly fan-fiction-y, mashup of the most well-known bits of Glam history, Oscar Wilde, and Sci Fi. I think the real reason DB doesn't like it is cuz it makes him look like a selfish prick.

Oh shit....Seriously though, I KNOW where you're coming from. I'm hip to that. I dig Oscar Wilde. Have some of his writings, u know. I've fucked around and worn a green carnation on Halloween in tribute to the man. Just parts of the film was, in the words of a very dated Tommy Lee, was whack. No offense to Lee cuz I think he's "hella" cool. I just think it's funny as hell when Lee uses that word. Maybe cuz nobody else has used it in what, 10 years?
