Unrealized potential

[Roy Munson]

Refused - The Shape of Punk to Come is a killer record.

Big Wreck should have been huge. One of the best straight-up rock bands I've ever seen or heard.

Manmade God is another band that was great a couple of years ago.

The Mono Men!!!

Tiki, I know exactly what you mean about loving records from bands that should have been bigger.

Case in point

Badlands, Corrosion of Conformity, Warroir Soul, Fu Manchu, Wildhearts, Refused.

All great mentions aside from Refused. Never heard 'em. Will have to check them out.

Kyuss! Way cooler than any of that QotSA bullshit. Josh Homme is better off tuning down and playing through a bass amp along with John Garcia's brilliant vocal delivery! Heavier than a sonic fuckin' boom!

[Tiki-Tom]

Speakin' of John Garcia, his band Hermano kicks the shit out of QotSA.

Hermano rocks and should be heard.

Badlands.

Their first record, in particular, kicks major ass. Jake E Lee is such an underrated player and he wrote killer fuckin riffs. Ray Gillan's voice was also spectacualr. They didn't do anything new, but they rocked big time.

Can you somehow send me this record? I can't find it!

Rainbow with RJD.

"Rising" should have sold 10 million.

Then we would have been spared "Since you been gone" and "I surrender".

I heard them piped in a supermarket the other night which is just fucked up on a number of levels...

I'll just add my usual link to Love/Hate that I do in every thread like this that ever appears.

http://www.lovehate.com/

Download at least their first two albums from that link with a clean conscience. They should have been huge I think they were maybe just a year too late. Great live too back in the day,

It's a very good album, is it deleted now? It's a bit like Zepplin but not in a Kingdom Come way...

I can't beleive I forgot to mention them!

A phenomenal band: first two records are fucking killer, they were doing something so different for the early 90's: loud, rude, dirty, sleezy and mean with psycho-edge.

You need to hear "The shape of punk to come."

It's as simple as that.
