Ultra rare BADLANDS doc!!!

[Matt White]

Check this shit out!

Was trying to watch this while putting the 3 year old to bed. She kept asking if this was Van Halen.

Grate live Devil's Stomp!

I used to have this on VHS... so kewl. Jake's a huge influence. Coincidentally a friend just sent me this, which I'd never seen before...




Can't hear the bass, and barely the drums, but Ray and Jake are killing...

If they'd worked with a really good producer, they coulda been huuuuuuge.

[DLR Bridge]

I don't think Voodoo Highway could have been produced any better. I'm afraid the usual band infighting coupled with Ray's bad habit had more to do with them not getting much further than they did.

Certainly.

But I think a really good producer would have pushed them in terms of song-writing rather than sound. They had very good songs. With a truly gifted producer they might very well have had great ones.

(I actually prefer the first record to Voodoo Highway..........)

[DLR Bridge]

Good point.

Opposite for me. Voodoo Highway's dirty, rough around the edges production value suited them just right. The sheen of polish on their debut made them sound a bit too much like everyone else at the time.

[ELVIS]

With a truly gifted producer...

Does that even exist these days ??

Well, we're actually talking 20 years ago at the moment. That STP producer, Brendan O'Brien, was/is pretty decent, no? There's a scat hand full out there.

this bloke has a pretty decent record...(pun intended)

Andy Wallace, Colin Richardson, Andy Sneap all of the stop of my head.......................

Steve Wilson, too......

If you excuse 'Dreams In The Dark' I don't think that the debut is particularly polished production-wise. I always thought that it had the better songs on it, too. Each to their own, however.....

[DLR Bridge]

No. You're wrong.






Just kidding.

A Graceful choice Ash!

Not only were Badlands a great band, but their tunes have held up much better than a lot of the other bands from that era.
