Faith in music RESTORED!!!

Oh PLU-EAZE!! They are another lame Zeppy clone dog and pony show. Fucking outdated 70's riff posturing, and bland lyrics. No originality, no substance. Nothing..

Exactly! That's why I like it. I don't believe in this musically snobbery of "it must be original and full of meaning or its crap" stuff. If so, I think we need to completely destroy Paul McCartney for his lack of originality because he ripped off both Chuck Berry and Little Richard early in his career. IF I want "substance" I'll watch a PBS documentary on Leonard Cohen or something (which I never will).

If I like it, I like it. " Music, you now, true music - not just rock n roll - it chooses you." Can't help it. Won't apologize for it.

It's become a moot point, but you really are a big F A T fucking cunt who knows nothing about good rock n' roll.

I know more than you, Mr. Styx pansy-ass loser.

Actually, McCartney & Co. ripped off Buddy Holly. But...what is here to like? Originality is one thing but recycling used bin riffs is quite another. Even with their slick production, this guys sound the same as every other two-bit band that you'd see in any given dive bar on any Saturday night. Look at them posturing for a major corporate label contract where, if lucky, they will become tools for a failing industry. Who knows, they might sell a record or two.

Truth is, I think John Lennon was really the one who was more influenced by Buddy Holly (he even had the glasses). Paul was definitely more influenced by Little Richard.

[Kristy]

I disagree.

[Kristy]

Check it out. I bought this last Saturday at a garage sale for $4 (yeah, I know I was ripped off). I'm hoping it'll send my blood pressure over the edge.



It's a poorly, poorly written book done by a failed musician now turned "rock journalist" hack who, as far I can tell judging from the first few chapters, just wants to suck Jimmy's dick.

So, after all of your hemming and hawing, you're willing to spend 4 of your hard earned weed stash dollars on something pertaining to someone you despise? What's up with that?

Thank you FORD. I may not be as enlightened in my musical perspectives and some on this board and Lord knows I'm wrong ALOT, but I grew up in a house with the Beatles playing nearly 24/7 and I am hardly every wrong about the Beatles.

Know thy enemy. Read Sun Tzu sometime.

Your nuts. Page isn't your enemy. He just a human you don't like. I'll be God damned if I'm going to read up on Jon Bon Jovi. Me no likey? Me no listen. Simplezzat.

[Kristy]

Bon Jovi is an asshole. Not the enemy. Jimmy Page is most definitely the enemy.

[FORD]

Now look what you did Kristy.....

Mention Sun Tzu and we get invaded by the Chinese spambot army.......

[Kristy]

At least it is a punctuational correct spambot.

OK, here's a list of modern hard rock bands that people who think this sort of music need to hear:

Airbourne (first record - 'Running Wild' - is the best)
The Answer (first two records)
Rival Sons
Graveyard
Torche
Nighthorse
The Parlor Mob (think a looser Black Crowes)
The Virgin Marys
Million Dollar Reload (patchy, but persevere with their debut)
The Black Spiders
Hurricane Party
The Jim Jones Revue (nitro-charged '50s rock 'n' roll)
The Stonewall Noise Orchestra
Saint Jude (beautiful voice)
Royal Thunder (a band that could have easily traded punches with the best bands in the '70s)

I could go on.........


Oh, and I should also point out that liking both Echo & The Bunnymen and Airbourne is possible....
