Bands who made the most from the least

[Satan]

Yeah, by now I doubt there are any bats left in Hell. Guess somebody should ask Satan about that?

Are you kidding? Hell is like one huge cave! I don't think we'll ever run out of bats.

I still have a hard time with how the Motley albums "Girls" and "TOP" did so damn well with only a few good tunes on each. From reading Nikki's book "HD" he even said he would only try to write a couple good tunes at that time and didn't give the others much thought.

[Seshmeister]

That pretty much goes for all Crue albums.

Unintentionally funny interview I saw with them when they said they each went off and wrote down which songs should be on 'Decade of Decadence' and were amazed to find they had all written down the same 10 songs...

K guys, I fucking hate to put this band here as I am a huge fan and still love the lead singers solo stuff......but





Umm...dude has released Overkill in like 7 different formats. Regular, remastered, live, acoustic with band, acoustic solo, acoustic live with band, acoustic solo live....even did a special version for the TV show Scrubs.

[DONNIEP]

I almost put them in with my first post but I like the damn band too much!!

For some reason that is the album where I really honed my "Ringo" chops. The songs are catchy enough with just enough light fills to spend hours practicing your internal metronome. Just trying to keep a steady beat, not back beat, not punchy....just a simple beat.

BTW from these forums alone I can testify that Elvis is alive and morbidly obese

I'll never forget the great quote: "Elvis may or may not have faked his own death, but David Lee Roth faked his life instead!"

Actually...the better Roth Quote (which refutes your premise) was: "If Elvis was alive Micheal Jackson would be dead".

Timing and topical on that one...but still true.

Without hitting "Wiki" Im reasonably sure Men at Work had
3 successful albums (at least in Australia). Internationally might
be a different story. Thats another tangent here, some bands may
have an incredibly successful, one off, worlwide hit album.
Yet they have successive hit albums in their native country.

Im sure nobody here (apart from the Aussies) would have heard
of "Australian Crawl". Always in the charts when functional.
Their debut "Boys Light Up" was one of the best selling debuts
in Australia. Problem for these guys is they started dying.
Literally, all tragic too, cancer mostly, I think it got to the point where
James Reyne (the singer) was the only guy left.

Now to my point, "Australian Crawl" were apparently really popular
in Rio of all places. James Reyne banged together some musicians
and played massive shows in Rio, and the brazillians probably had no
idea it was just the singer....

You hear this quite a lot about Japan too, acts that you think have long
gone, still play to sellout crowds there. Probably "Europe" as an example.

(But I digress)

I just thought of another example,

"Tiny Tim"

Sparkie and FryingDutchman, POISON and Bert Michaels ???

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON THERE ???

Rock of Love, my god, I watched that once and it totally
reinforced my "belief" in Poison. They are an embarrasment to Rock.
Bert thinks he is DLR never is seen without a hat or dew cloth on his
obviously bald head, has diabetes apparently, and cant even pronounce
the word "diabetes". The chicks I saw on the episode trying to fuck him
looked like they would normally get their sex at a prison or a kennel !

It wouldnt be so bad if they actually didnt believe they are real musicians.
Sparkie you are right, these fucks have the Hagar effect !

I heard somewhere that Roth was sitting at a table at The Rainbow with Axl and Bach then Brett came over and asked if he can join them and Dave told him to get lost. Haha!!!!

[guwapo_rocker]

Bob Geldof.

[Little Texan]

How about The Village People? They've made a career out of playing gay clubs with YMCA and In The Navy.

[BITEYOASS]

Bob Geldoff.

He knows a thing or two about famine. Since he's been living off of "I Don't Like Mondays" for the past 30 years.
