REPORT: =vh = to headline australian festival april 20-21

Honkin' On Bobo is pretty fucking good...

Really king, you liked that album? Well, tastes vary, and for me, the entire record was not equal to this throwaway from the drugged out Draw The Line sessions, and included on the terrific Pandora's Box collection. I love the boogie/blues jam section that kicks in half way through.

[envy_me]

Yes, Envy! - One of my favourite tunes as well. Bit of a Tom Waits vibe (although not anything like Ed VH on 'How Many Say Ughh?'), and great harmonica from Tyler.

I love that whole album, and Joe and Brad aren't even on it. It has some of the dirtiest riffs that ever went under the name 'Aerosmith' (Bolivian Ragamuffin, Lightning Strikes, Bitches Brew). It's one of their top 5 albums for me.

Fucking fantastic album. It's sad to see what they have done to themselves with all this commercialism and mainstream ballads.

Really king, you liked that album?

Yeah, it grew on me...

The vocals and the dynamics are pretty awesome...

Some songs suck like the first song, I believe, but there's good stuff on that album...

Sounds like Aerosmith to me...

What's with all the Aeroshit in this thread???

Fuck sakes, VH is about to play a big show in Oz and people are posting Aeroshit songs and vids.

Friend, if you haven't noticed, Dave Roth, Billy Joel and yes, Aerosmith held a joint news conference about the show. Since the rest of VH didn't bother to show up, we are reduced to debating the varied merits of Aerosmith, as no one in their right mind finds Billy Joel relevant. Besides, the closest most of us are going to get to this gig is looking at clips on Youtube.

Haha...

We need to put the Aussie contingent to work enjoy the show first last and allways but here in the states we were getting almost live feed from mebers here at -The RA- durring shows in the states.

Now don't get me wrong I realize Australia is another sattelite away from us so we may have a 100 gigga second time diff in pics..lol.

ONE WORLD BITCHESS!!!

MIGHTY MIGHTY VH!

Damn, I spent all my thanks for today. I'll thank your post tomorrow :D

I haven't heard this album, Nine Lives was the last one I heard. I'll have to check it out.

[DLR Bridge]

Billy did tear it up at that Sandy tribute thing. He's probably more rock and roll than anyone will give credit for since his records are so commercial.

I'm betting you like this one...

I LOVE bluesy Aerosmith. Great song. I think I might take some vino tonight and hear that whole album.

[VHscraps]

Wine and song do make good partners.

[envy_me]

Wine and song do make good partners.

Oh yeah :D

I just heard The Grind from Bobo. Great song. A bluesy ballad. Love Stevens singing on it.
