Powderfinger

Weiland was a great frontman live…

Sounds like an Operaman tune waiting to be written.

Im not surprised, Frank’s drumming would fuck up anyones equilibrium.

Did someone shout fuck off ya Tennessee cunt?

Never got the flack thrown at Libertad, I liked it first time I heard it and still like it. The hidden track reminds me of something GnR would have written with Izzy.

Where do you go? D? C#? The tunes were recorded in Eb…

The best of those gigs, the Point Depot gig in March 96, was featured in the Supersonic documentary. First time was in 95 supporting REM, that March gig the second and I saw both nights in Cork summer 96 also. The Prodigy supported both those nights in 96 and they were at their peak. The Bootleg Beatles were also on the lineup. I only went the second night as I got a ticket for £10…..

Saw Oasis 4 times between 95 & 96. Those were religious experiences. The 2nd gig in March 96 being the best of the lot. Absolutely zero aggro at any of those gigs outside of crowd sways at the Slane gig in 95. I travelled at least 30-40 yards without ever getting more than one foot on the ground and at times none. They stopped the gig a few times to get to sorted out.

3 songs!!! Im not going to your Island… I’ll fuck off to one that allows Desert Island Albums…. Mr Brownstone, Out Ta Get Me, Paradise City. I’ll listen to those 3 over dessert.

Saw them live 3 times but never with Taylor… They were ok for the first 2 albums but they’re not my thing.

Slane 92

They kinda screwed themselves with Izzy for an AFD 5 gig… What cash will he demand seeing as they wouldn’t split the loot with him for NITL. He can hold out for big bucks for an AFD5 tour or shows.

Where did this happen? I caught 3 shows on that tour and it was excellent.

Solos are weird, They don’t have to be long and epic to be great. Last Nite by The Strokes is on there and it’s a great rock n roll solo, importantly it serves the song. TWAT solo is killer though. First time I played CD, TWAT was the first song I played again after it had finished.

I caught them in 2010 and what I saw and heard was all Axl. I was front row and he sounded pretty much as good that night as he did in 2006 a little more Mickey maybe, but still mostly strong raspy vocals.

Slash has released 2 new songs with GnR in the 21st Century. Hardly ridiculous he didn’t make the list!

You can look towards the late 80s and see this happened within mainstream rock music. The 80s drum sound was as processed as you could get. Metal was all about precision and speed. The 80s rock dude look was a processed look even. All it took to rid the world of that 80s cock rock was a voice like Kurt Cobains. The raw emotion in his voice and the sloppy human quality to Nirvanas muwic just cut through that fake studio sound of every other band at the time. I guess I see AI music as fake, and there’s already been a lot of fake music out there for years anyway. AI is just Milli Vanilli without the dudes to me.

In a way it’s always been like this. I have at least 3-400 demo tapes and CDs of bands back in the 90s no one has ever heard of, some really great music. Truth is most people never made a career out of music. It’s always been that way. For every Band the major labels present to you, there’s 1000 bands behind that band just as good. The “music industry” is just fashion trends, whatever is popular at any given time is what they sell you. Playing in a band is mostly like playing 5 a side soccer, your not playing for Man United, but you’re still having fun. Playing music will always be fun.

Music won’t die. In the 80s it was major labels that had the music industry on life support. It was almost like AI. Same shit, same bands, same looks, same cheesy sound. “The Industry” is the last place to look for anything to do with real music. It picks a band and says like this, buy this. But who were they to ever decide what art was? Underground music is alive and well and always will be.

I’d say he already is living up to his name: duff (dʌf ) Word forms: comparative duffer, superlative duffest ADJECTIVE If you describe something as duff, you mean it is useless, broken, or of poorquality. [British, informal, disapproval] Sometimes you have to take a duff job when you need the money. Synonyms: bad, poor, useless, pathetic
