Im extremely optimistic but skeptical. Iggy and the stooges ruled it all before so who knows.

Agree!!

Not sure what to make of this.  I want it to be good, but their last record "The Weirdness" was pretty bad.  Think this will be any different?  The short clip of "Job" doesn't sound terrible.

Can this thread be refurbished?
I think it is worth saving! 
Cool topic! 

I´ve been misunderstanding you first, sorry!
Not sure what you mean but sounds funny!
:D

Hey all-Just so you all know-it is not sad or a shame about the band being over-I ENDED IT BECAUSE IT WAS TIME TO MOVE ON-It had a good run-some good times & Bad times-but time to move on, ya know??? I am TOTALLY INTO MY OWN TRIP RIGHT NOW AND WOULD NEVER TURN BACK-THIS IS WHERE IT IS AT FOR ME-my new album "MIssissippi Murderer" is EXACTLY WHAT I WANT TO SOUND LIKE--AND=all this stuff about the Cynics and the C. Kings on the warpath-let me set this straight-I AM AND HAVE BEEN FRIENDS WITH GREGG KOSTELICH OF THE CYNICS/GET HIP and the CYNICS for decades-NEVER any kind of bad vibes-so whoever is making up this bullshit it is UNTRUE. Got it? As far as me being an asshole-no idea why anyone would make that accusation because I was never rude or nasty to anyone. And the "I've heard stories from a former drummer of the Cynics that the CKs can be real assholes, especially Gregg Prevost" is just heresay,

Hey Guys & Gals---I just dropped in-I am not familiar with how this all works yet since I'd never been involved with a network-anyway--rather than me telling you some long-winded intro-go to my website at : www.gregstackhouseprevost.com I used to be in the Chesterfield Kings, which I started in 1976...

 Of course , Reg and Ronnie are reprising "The Troggs Tape" in the Great Pub in The Sky.

....I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue....I also forgot to menton "Come , Now". The "Archaeology" 2 CD set (3 counting the infamous "Troggs Tapes" in full) on Rhino will set you  on the right road. I'm sure you'll have to look for it on line , but , it would'nt hurt to contact Rhino regarding it's availability(?). I don't think.

I just found out The Troggs are still touring Europe , minus Lead Singer Reg Presley , who's recovering from treatment for Lung Cancer , and has since retired. It's on their website (Tho' not much else , info - wise.) ....The new guest vocalist put in some time with a later version of The Animals , and some other revamped UK 60's groups.....It can't be The Troggs without Reg , but  , I'm sure he  gave them his blessings .

I wish I could sell out so I didn't have to have a shit 9 to 5. Who hasn't compromised at some point through their career.

I remember when the Flaming Lips did Strychnine.  They were weird but my kind of weird.  Personally, I think they DID sell out.  People think they got better but I think they got boring.  I thought Soundgarden got boring as well, but I didn't hate them like I hated Flaming Lips. I never did like Smashing Pumpkins.  Pesonally, I was surprised by the whole Nirvana thing.  I didn't ever get my hands on the Butch Vig demos (which really weren't demos as they were supposed to be a 2nd Sub Pop album, they just sound like demos in comparison as they were done on the cheap)that they were doing like my friends had, so I never heard the songs until after the album actually came out.  The live songs I did hear in early 91 were the songs you heard on the second half of NEVERMIND (side 2?).  So yeah, I was surprised.

....On a local level , I can readily imagine that . I did'nt think of Nirvana or Soundgarden as having a particularly commercial sound , but , I never cared for any of that stuff. It was plain to see Nirvana was going to be big , before "Nevermind" even came out....But , it did'nt seem to me like they planned it that way. Cobain still complained to no end after they did make it. But , that was later. Maybe the idea of success on your own terms was , in his estimation , slipping out of his hands.....But he was'nt being a full out whining little BABY the minute success came , like Billy Corgan did. In Chicago , NO ONE dared criticize Smashing Pumpkins , tho' they sucked from the word "Go".  It was just like a few years earlier , when I lived in Dallas. The Flaming Lips were the band you did'nt dare say you disliked , and they were from Oklahoma.....They were just doing this Classic Rock sludge - Zeppelin meets The Doors meets later Who , played  very badly , but NO ONE (eXCEPT ME.)  used to put them down.

Oh, there were people calling Soundgarden and Nirvana sell outs (even Nirvana were calling themselves sell outs as a joke) here in Seattle, but it was those "underground" types who didn't want to see them get popular and keep them on a local level.  I was rather proud when they were getting ahead and popular.  They didn't pander to industry standards and also they got vinyl written into their contracts and proved you could still sell that format.

....When The Ramones broke up , they were only playing mega - stadiums in Argentina.  They were still playing many of the same venues in the states , and , perhaps in Britain and West Europe , that they'd played 15 years earlier , or to crowd of about the same size. They were'nt hurting , but they were not a multi - million dollar franchise , like they are today , when  , barring their three drummers (Clem Burke did two gigs. He's an honorary Ramone.) , second bass player, and , if you wish , Richie Ramone I from the VERY first , undocumented , lineup (WHO MOVED TO SF and  co - founded The Nuns.) , THEY'RE ALL DEAD.

They went out on a high note , you could say , playing the Lollapalooza tour , but, they were third - billed to Metallica and Soundgarden. I realize The Ramones were not selling millions of records like the other two (Maybe Soundgarden had'nt hit the million mark....YET.), BUT , I SAW NO REASON THE THREE COULD'NT RECIEVE EQUAL BILLING.

No one calls Metallica sell -outs , OK , SOME PEOPLE DO . NO ONE CALLED SOUNDGARDEN OR NIRVANA SELL - OUTS WHEN THEY WERE STILL AROUND (Soundgarden , of course , reformed recently , and , to their credit , they just played a place , here ,  that maybe holds 3 - 5000 people.). But , if a legendary Punk , or proto punk , band  , strikes while the iron's still relatively hot - Be it The Stooges , The Dolls , The MC3 , The Pistols .....someone's going to call 'em sellouts. Rock'n'Roll does'nt have a sweetass retirement package , especially if it never made you rich in the first place.

IT'S THE SAME THING ALL OVER , THOUGH , NOW. DJs ARE KILLING LIVE MUSIC. YES , I DJ EVERY CHANCE I GET , BUT SINCE I DON'T PLAY 80'S Crap , Industrial Dance crap ,  NEO - DISCO ,"DANCE" MUSIC , House , Techno, Trance  , Hip Hop and (C) Rap OR NORTHERN SOUL , GIGS ARE FEW AND FAR BEHIND.....COMPLAINING ABOUT IT WON'T CHANGE THINGS , I KNOW ....

But , these DJs that people come out to just worship , if they even play a record , it's to scratch it . Samplers , drum machines , all that lot , whatever it is , I would'nt pay to hear it, and if you can get a gig , now , spinning Rock'n'Roll , it's in venues that don't charge a cover, so they may or may not pay you at all...AND, FORGET ABOUT TIPS..   But , I think smaller "cities" like Dallas are really getting hammered by the DJ Disease. My friends all say it's wiping out live music in Dallas.  It's just that the dynamic is similar to the "Disco Sucks" days , but , no one's saying Dance music or Hip Hop sucks....However , I believe , now , there's room for everything. It does'nt mean everything you try to do is going to be worth your while , and , even if you sell out to "The Man" , and play only music untouched by real instruments , you'll still have to wait in line behind one barrage of irritating hammer - to - the forehead non - beats after another.....

Oh , and Frazier Thomas also hosted a later version of "Bozo's Circus".

Well , I seriously doubt Garcia was aware of The Butthole Surfers , though stranger things have happened. Someone told me they had an out of body experience , the last time I saw The Surfers. Maybe they were just trying to get out of the building !  I've heard a few stories , nothing you would call an Urban Legend. But , in truth , Gibby's Dad was Jerry Haynes , aka TV  kIDDIE SHOW HOST , MR. PEPPERMINT. The Drummer in Chicago Silly Punk band , TUTU AND tHE PIRATES , was Frazier Thomas , host of Kiddie show , Garfield Goose and the SUNDAY AFTERNOON movie program , Family Classics.

The two twin Brothers in The Pork Dukes were rumored to be Dudley Moore's illegitimate Sons.

Here's a Rock'n'Roll urban legend : Tony Sheridan dies.

Yes, I know he just did , but , I got the word about 20 years in advance !

Boy , if I were listening to it , now ,it would help -

 I've got things on my mind , girl.

cobwebs in my brain , if you've got the time , girl , help me ascertain

How to rectify the growing mental pain of  *T-R-O-U-B-L-E , TROUBLE  

I can see the future , looking fast at it (Or looking back at it?)

If you've got a soul , then , give me some of it...So I can learn to take in stride the problems that I have inside   , somewhere there's a place I fit , I can live with just a bit  of *

Everybody's got their trouble , some can ride above it , but , every day's marked down as double , and I'm headed for a fall.....

Your deciding factor is one way I can win , but , you've got to help me , every inch of it.

That's not to say don't bother me , or blind to your reality , somewhere there's a reason strength (?)  , never be a troubled  friend *

it's pretty much like that. Bonniwell's phrasing and use of what he himself called "Ten Dollar Words" make this not the easiest task . I remember, I thought I knew the words to "Talk , Talk" , until I saw them transcribed in the liners to Alice Cooper's "Flush The Fashion " , where he covered it , I might add , for a second time.

Whatever does'nt seem right to you , I'd say , make something up.

Maybe , In his subconscious , he could see something. Some people just know when it's their time. We all have to go at some point , preferably in our sleep or from sexual exhaustion. I'm just sayin' . John

I had the same guitar and I used Labella tape wound. they have the bounce of round wound but a thuddy attack, less sustain, and a naturally dirty tone.

facebook likes can be very misleading...friends of friends will like a band page just because a friend tells them to. So...even if the band blows dick they can have 15,000 likes and only a quarter to half of the likes are legit.
