A re-recorded version of "Trash" from that album features on the new set."Cause I Sez So" (Atco) was recorded at Utopia Sound Studio in Kauai, Hawaii, and features original members David Johansen on vocals and Sylvain Sylvain on guitar, alongside Steve Conte (guitar), Brian Delaney (drums), and Sami Yaffa (bass)."It was amazing working with Todd again, and I think we were able to evoke the special sound of our first album and drag it by the hair into the present," Johansen said in a statement.ArticleAnd the track list from their website:Track Listing 01.

John Bonham Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I've read rumors on other sites that say Guns are in negotiations to get The Dolls on their Stadium Tour. I'd like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuffle Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I adore their two original studio albums. Their comeback album from 2006(?) was surprisingly good but it just didn't feel the same... I'll definitely check this out but I'm not getting a good feeling from the album name... (I hate it when people spell stuff like "sez" and "bizness"). It's cool that they're working with Todd Rundgren though, and I'd really like to see them live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zint Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 The vibe's different now...but still a great little band in their own right.If they weren't standing in the shadow of their legacy,they'd still be deserving of props as a great band (considering the dire state of music these days).

Zint Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 (considering the dire state of music these days).How so?Guarantee you the new Dolls record won't have a Nickleback vibe about it.It won't get mainstream radio play.It probably won't make the charts.It's guys making music because they love to do it.Regardless of renumeration.Not a lot of that around these days.

Lithium Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) Yeah, it is; as much as any decade If you only look at stuff like Nickleback, it goes without saying that you're only going to see boring, generic crap.

I've been meaning to listen to some new stuff (new to me, not necessarily new to the world, although that too) for a while now. But I'll probably only dig a handful of songs from the list of artists posted here. Seems to be the way it goes for me. I'm more than willing to listen to new music but it usually doesn't connect. Maybe some people just have very particular tastes. I've heard tons of songs that are alright, I can listen to them and not want to die, but they don't really move me or connect with me in a powerful way. And if they are just okay then it's not enough. I want chills running up my spine. And it kind of makes sense to me that only a fraction of what I hear should do this, because it shouldn't be an easy thing to do.

Shuffle Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 The two bands I mentioned aren't ground breaking (I missed that post), they're just plain great, and as good as most of the older bands within the same genres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
