Music Shit / Re: KBD type bands that you really don't like at all.

Almost all of GG's material is....awesome.  Pretty much the only thing I don't listen to on a weekly basis is Suicide Sessions.  But, even that has Cornhole Lust, and Shit On My Prick.  This said, I don't see where GG fits in with KBD?  I'm old(er).

The utter genius of Poison Idea didn't hit me until one EXTREMELY hungover a.m.
 Feel The Darkness, or War All The Time will suffice.

Music Shit / Re: Why would you listen to Kiss...

I love 2 or 3 songs on just about every Thin Lizzy record, but I love every song on every Kiss record until Dynasty.

sexist lyrics that often sound like male rape fantasies
tacky overdone production
rock star value system
cheesy riffs repeated too often
lack of real energy or dynamism in the rhythm section
boring guitar solos
oafish harmonies because gene though he could sing, but actually couldn't
just gene simmons generally
massive over-exposure of 4 or 5 awful songs
apolitical stance on everything



Are you fucking kidding me? This shit list is half filled with the stuff that makes me happiest.

I can't stop laughing...

Many years ago I was deciding on what amp to get...Marshall, or Fender.   I ran into a friend of mine who put it to me in these terms:  "Only get a Marshall if you want every song you write to sound like the first three Kiss records."  Needless to say I went with the Marshall.  Kiss are amazing, and so are Thin Lizzy.

Oh yeah, Micheal Shannon was just in that Herzog movie, 'My Son My Son What Have Ye Done,' which is the worst Herzog movie I've ever seen. He might be a decent Fowley though.

They should just have Kim Fowley play Kim Fowley.

Hard to argue with this logic.

Just read up on Shannon, and he's gonna be playing Jonah Hex on the screen adaptation of the comic.....could be cool.  SHOULD be cool.  Better be cool.

wow, no mention (that I could see with my quick read of this thread) of Hated?!  wow.  This documentary works on so many levels.  Love GG?  Hate GG?  Think GG's silly?  There's something for everyone.  Kinda like Dig.  I thought both bands featured were pure garbage, but what an amazing portrait of a bunch of chumps!

Aaaanway, Hated! 

I just saw an amazing doc on VH1 about Soul Train that blew my mind.
a lot of the Behind The Music's are fun.  Judas Priest for example. 
As much as I love Roky, that doc was really rough to watch.

forgot HATED for some reason!   very good. could have been longer given the subject matter. of course i have various other gg related videos including some boot that has 3 talk show appearances...  remember seeing a 'preview' for the still unfinished and most likely abandoned gg allin movie mark hejnar was going to do... talked with mark in person about a few other things but left the over-discussed gg movie out of conversation.

Yeah, I'd LOVE to see a more comprehensive GG documentary than Hated, and I've always wondered if Hejnar's ever going to finish his.  The footage of the Jabbers running around the streets of Manchester before the Live Fast, Die Fast video is priceless!

YES!!!!  Totally great.  I caught that last month, and immediately after watching it I bought a 40 DVD set of all the 70's episodes.  Best thing to have constantly playing in your house.

The original moonwalk footage alone was enough to blow my mind for a month.  And yes, it doesn't take much to blow my mind.  Have you seen any of the James Brown Future Shock dance show from the mid 70s?  Also incredible dancing.
