They are still very good live, I saw them last summer. Strange but 3/4 of them have been in Hanoi Rocks too, at some point.

The McDonald brothers from Redd Kross (Red Cross) were 15 and 18 at the time of their debut.

Luke (2 Live Crew)- Dr. Dre is a bitch ass
Bloodhound Gang- Fire Water Burn (Barry White, Frank Black, Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix etc.)
Replacements- Alex Chilton
Happy Mondays- Donovan
Idlewild- When I argue I see shapes (Syd Barrett)

Broadcast- Heartbeat Paradise (Eagles-ish Finnish band, go figure)
Dave Lindholm- Moderni Hiljainen Musiikki (Sort of like Finnish Neil Young, who's made about 50 records, but this is the only one not on cd.)
Asko Raivio & Karisma (obscure Finnish record)

Maybe I should take the mic Stand up tall like Michael Stipe And try to solve the problems of the earth Or maybe then, I should sit back down Scratch my chin and use my frown And try to figure out exactly what I'm worth - The Wonder Stuff ("Maybe") https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3XRT97h...

Pavement- Range Life (Smashing Pumpkins, Stone Temple Pilots)

Girls On Film, the song and the video.

Geddy Lee/Rush threads reminded me of Stereo by Pavement, which of course mentions Geddy Lee.

Couple other unusual ones:
In Cruiser by Red House Painters, Hanoi Rocks is mentioned.
Mark Kozelek's band after Red House Painters, Sun Kil Moon has a song called Glenn Tipton.

More?

You started with the worst, hard to top that.

GW sucked live.
Never saw Warrant because Jani had an accident and they were replaced by Don Patrol as openers for DLR.

Same here. Warrant was replaced by Boycott (Finnish band) here, hugely disappointing.

Still it's Warrant for me, by far.

The only one I regret, was going to a Ramones show and being too drunk so they wouldn't let me in. After that I decided to not drink at shows, as it's a waste of money and time. That has held up pretty well for over 30 years. I'm glad I saw Ramones later on too.

There was a few when I was in the army in 92-93 (Pavement, Alice In Chains, STP, Warren Zevon, Pearl Jam), most of them were in clubs too! Other one I regret pretty quickly was when Soundgarden & Blind Melon etc. played in an arena here in 1995. I thought I'd catch them later, but Shannon Hoon w...

When Scott Weiland died, his ex-wife said that he was a million in debt, which was surprising.

Jarvis Cocker of Pulp was 31 when the band broke thru in 1994, he was 20 at the time of the band's debut.

Even the B sides album Nico has some great tunes.

Agreed. I like Pearl Jam too, but not as much.

Andy Summers was 35 (soon 36) when The Police's debut was released.
Jet Black was 39 when Strangler's' debut was released.
Ed Cassidy was 45 when Spirit's debut was released.

That's it really, they were alright, but not good enough to go further.

They make ceramic tits with his wife.

He has homes in Helsinki, Finland and Mallorca, Spain. Also a summer cabin in Finland. He's been smart with his money I guess.

I would add Life, Sex, and Death's debut also. Stanley actually has a great voice.

That's a very good record.

Good band, I've seen them live a few times.

I say No no no. I could not imagine never drinking again, unless it was for a medical reason. Some of my friends don't drink, but for me it seems a depressing thought.

Fuck, sorry to hear that, man.

It sucks enough when 1 you are close to dies, but 2 quickly is really hard.

Thanks. My mother was ill for a long time, but my stepson died suddenly by accident. 25 is way too early to go.

I am so, so sorry to hear that. My deepest condolences.

Kiitos.

It must be the band's most well known and sold song, being on that soundtrack. It's even been covered by some metal bands. That said, it doesn't represent the band really. They have dozens of better songs.

I liked them a lot, but didn't care about a few more recent records. Jimmy C. is a great drummer though.

Coolest have been Paul Gilbert and Away (VoiVod) by far.

Pavement
Ween
Manic Street Preachers
Nada Surf
STP

Who knows? This autumn has been hard, my mom and stepson died. Yesterday was his funeral. Fuck, sorry to hear that, man. It sucks enough when 1 you are close to dies, but 2 quickly is really hard.

Thanks.
