Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Green Day refused to let the BBC film them at T In The Park and show brief highlights of their show on a late night compilation package of the fetival because they were about to release their own live DVD!!Punk as fcuk!!!! Green Day are MTV friendly, radio friendly, Kerrang friendly, NME friendly, commercial, huge selling, massive earning POP! Nothing more, nothing less. 211574[/snapback] Hmmm. That kinda reminds of a punk band that refused to go on a certain TV show as a protest against the programs blatant commercialism yet some years later allowed one of their songs to be used in an advert for jeans. Now, what was the name of that band again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You consider them 'pop' big deal, the Buzzcocks were pop as were/are the Undertones............. Huge selling, that might just be because they are actually good............. Hmmm.

The Sandman Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 And may I also add, HHIBSS, your (and my) heroes Rush allowed their version of Summertime Blues to be used as the theme for a WWE Wrestling event, last year's Summerslam, which must be a bigger blot on any bands copybook in your eyes than allowing their music to be used for a jeans advert, so don't fúck with the Clash........... This 'sin' has also be commited by AC/DC, Motorhead and Limp Bizkit, the latter 2 having performed live at WWE events......................

Kemp Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 I think if Green Day want to make blatantly commercial music with the purpose of selling records and making money they should at least be honest about it and drop this "punk" crap. If Green Day are Punk then Robbie Williams is Rock, Celtic fans are the best supporters in the world and Jim Davidson is a comedian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud the Baker Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 The Coventry Specials were well over-rated................ 212689[/snapback] Nonsense - They were far and away the best 2-Tone Band. They even wrote a song about you! Stereotype - Specials He's just a stereotype He drinks his age in pints He has girls every night But he doesn't really exist He spends his weekends with a load of blokes He forgets the punchline when he tells a joke He wants to stay out, he don't want to go home 'Til his nicotine fingers are stuffed down his throat He's just a stereotype He drinks his age in pints He drives home pissed at night And he listens to his stereo He blamed his fiancée when he caught VD The doctor said no drink for seventeen weeks He wants to go out but he has to stay home Sit in and watch colour TV on his own He's just a stereotype He drinks his age in pints He drives home pissed at night And he listens to his stereo The tablets are finished, the cure is complete He hasn't had a drink now for seventeen weeks Seventeen pints, tonight is the night It goes straight to his head, he ends up in a fight Police chase him home through the dark rainy night Fluorescent jam sandwich with flashing blue light His mums waiting up, she hopes he's alright But he's wrapped round a lamp post on Saturday night He's just a stereotype He drinks his age in pints He has girls every night He doesn't really exist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 1. Strangers In The Night – UFO – found on CD after many years of searching, a cracking live album that rocks like a bastard 2. Nighthawks at the Diner – Tom Waits – the seedy underworld Tom Waits observes in all it’s rowdy glory 3. Oil On Canvas – Japan – superbly atmospheric 4. Minimum/Maximum – Kraftwerk – quiet. Genius at work. 5. Midnight Express – Giorgio Moroder – some superb electronic sounds from one of the pioneers of techno and dance Others on the playlist – Tin Drum – Japan, Nonsuch – XTC, Seconds Out – Genesis and Movie Masterpieces by Ennio Morricone. Ram any suggestions of trying to be “cool†or “obscure†right up yer anal tract; this is good shit and I’m thoroughly enjoying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santaponsasaint Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 1. Strangers In The Night – UFO – found on CD after many years of searching, a cracking live album that rocks like a bastard is that the one where the cover is all multi coloured dots, if so your right what a cracking cd, and the song love to love, the song where they sing the line, misty green and blue, what a song that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 That's the very one, SPS. One of the best live albums ever released. Love To Love is a stunning track. Other highlights are Doctor Doctor, Only You Can Rock Me, Too Hot To Handle and the magnificent double salvo of Lights Out and Rock Bottom. Had me air-guitaring all over the hoose last night.

Tennant's Lager Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 4. Minimum/Maximum – Kraftwerk – quiet. Genius at work. 213766[/snapback] Gweg, was talking to SPS in the Mallard pre-match. Subject of music came up and I remarked to him how similar the tunes of Kraftwerk's Computer Love & Coldplay's new single (Talk - from the X&Y album) are to each other after watching Coldplay perform said single on Jonny Woss last night. I'm sure you'd have some thoughts on the matter..................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
