ROCK CORNER

[Carl M]

This little corner of UG is a trbute to Joey Ramone- so if you want to talk about anything related to Rock and Roll do it here!

[Carl M]

My Rock buddies Imp and Ozzy- you guys add to this! This can help some of you clueless people out there especially you Z! You know who you are!

Weezer- Nice tunes- normal Rock
Godsmack- Excellent tunes-Hard Rock/Metal If your tired before you go to your favorite provider- listen to some of this- you will have the adrenaline pumping and maybe something more.
Mudvayne- Psycho Metal- listen to this once- it sucks!, listen twice it grows on you.
Stained- Excellent Alternative- makes you think of your favorite provider.

[HAPPY GUY]

U2's recent performance on Saturday Night Live, which was dedicated to Joey Ramone, was excellent. They must've known he was ill, since I think the performance is originally a few months old.

[Ozzy]

if you gonna fuck and it's gotta be rock...it's gotta be lenny kravitz.

limp bizket and linkin park can be used when things get kinky....


and bon jovi when you goto sleep.

[Ozzy]

btw...

for anyone interested, (handsome) dick manatoba formerly of the dictators and wild kingdom (and friend of oz) has a place in the east village and is having a tribute to joey probably next weekend. ross the boss(manowar), members of ......the ny dolls, the ramones,twisted sister(dee snider), and many others will be jamming on old ramone songs. it's going to be a charity thing for cancer research. i was down there last night and they also plan on having something at cbgb's in a few weeks with some very big acts coming in to pay tribute. if you're interested in manatoba's place, lemme know and i can try to have your names left at the door......

[Carl M]

Good to see another deadhead here.
The '70 summer tour was a great one. i saw them at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, so can't argue with your choice on that.
My Best Show choice though has to be Pink Floyd's dark Side of the Moon show.
I've gotta give guitar to Clapton, and make Layla at least a close second for album

[Hotpuppy]

Jack,
No argument about that summer, was at Roosevelt Stadium a few times only cant remember exactly when! Saw Floyd do that show at Stonybrook, truly an amazing experience.
What in the word ever DID become of Sweet Jane? and was she the same one Lou Reed knew?
Phil@ Roseland on the 30th?

Im not a Dead Fan- but I sold shirts at a Glen Falls concert in 1980- they played from 8PM-1AM until the curfew hit- the cops came on stage to shut them down and there almost was a riot! Everybody bought Dead Head Shirts- what a nite- sweet!!!

[Hotpuppy]

Absolutely right Carl- any of Zappas bands!
I was at the Glens Falls show in '80( I think), but didnt but a shirt, glad it was a good night for you.

[Hotpuppy]

Tommy Lee is no Tolstoy, but his autobiographical exerpt in the current issue of RS makes for entertaining reading, plus theres a bonus photo of Pam's lovely ass( I cannot remember ever seeing naked butt in RS,anybody?).

i believe john lennon's ass was on the cover. linda ronstadt in a teddy. janet j's cupped breasts also on the cover. jennifer aniston semi-nude as well. i'm sure there are many more...

[Hotpuppy]

Yep, Lennons ass, how could I forget

[Hotpuppy]

Just surfed by, god help me, MTV and caught Sheryl Crow and then Natalie Merchant on Unplugged and it got me thinking about the sexiest female rock performers. These two have always been high on my list. So, the question is: if they were escorting, which women of rock would you want to book most?

[Ozzy]

Sheryl Crow ....yes, something about her...maybe her lips but i don't know.

now debra harry about 15 years ago and we're talkin.

[nashman]

Nancy Wilson, any member of Vixen, Sass Jordan, Suzy Demarchi of Baby Animals, Great Kat would be on my list of Female Rockers

[Hotpuppy]

Remember Lita Ford? Also Susanna Hoffs from the Bangles. Someone once said about Sheryl, that she was a rock star that women were as equally turned on by as men- adds to her appeal.

[nj george]

agrees with ozzi re: debbie harry. yes lita ford was hot too. also the wilson girls from heart 10-15 yr ago. any one of the en vogue girls, the blond fron abba, also(showing my age here) nancy sinatra, posh spice(hey, so my daughter likes the spice girls!)

also, not a rocker but, shania twain puts lead in my pencil like no other...what a bod! check out her outfit on the first vh-1 divas.

[Carl M]

Check out Alien Ant Farm for a few laughs!

For those of you who do not know form my previous post-
Frank Marino was on Mahogany Rush back in the 60s and 70s
and Joe Walsh was best when he was with The James Gang

[Edited by Carl M on 04-23-2001 at 09:34 AM]

[Turbo]

Sexiest Female Rock Performer? Joan Jett hands down.


Agreed on Queen live Robnotbob. Not sure who said they were bad live cause they were INCREDIBLE.

Did I say Joan Jett?

[SkellyChamp]

definitely not a Deadhead (lived on the same floor in college with Deadheads who played nothing but - 24/7) but as the years become more distant I learned to like and appreiciate them more.

For per minute dollar value shows you couldn't beat a Dead concert. Allman Bros. too.

Best Guitarist - with all due respect to the many many greats, its gotta be Clapton on pure talent. a guitarist's guitarist. many of his peers felt the same way.

richard thompson kicks clapton's ass, imo.

[nj george]

also pat benatar

favorite band...allman brothers band

slide guitar...duane allman
rhythm guitar....bob weir
vocals.....janis joplin, gregg allman, melissa ethridge
favorite rock guitar sound....stevie ray's fender strat, any gibson "les paul" played through an overdriven marshall stack.

No, Stevie Nicks in her younger days was smoking!!

[Ozzy]

when i said debby harry.....

iment a whole lot more than just looks..... she was a total package. lots of the rock chicks partied, but not like deb and from what i heard.....she was an immensely talented girl.

[Hotpuppy]

.

njg,
Very few people outside of deadheads recognize Weir as a great rhythm guitarist- at times exasperating as he stepped on a great jam to play "Little Red Rooster", or tried too hard to be a rock star, still his ability to fill those amazing jams was nothing short of heroic considering who he played along side.

those ain't shit carl.....


now you're forcing me to do some work tonight.....


i used to take pics at every concert i went to from 78-90 or so....hundreds.

i actually have a site up with my photos......let me change a few things (like my site IP) and i'll post it tomorrow.
i have pics from the front rows of everything from ac/dc to zappa and zeppelin. yes floyds wall shows from nassau col are there too. and for you carl i have ronnie james dio in rainbow, black sabbath and solo. you name it ...it's there. even stuff from backstage with guns n roses, the ramones, motely crue and ratt, black sabbath and van halen(remember that tour? ....'80).

[Carl M]

At Van Halen in 1980- I think I even have some BAB or PLJ Van Halen stickers that they gave out to everyone- Excellent Oswald. Those pics were from a webpage fron the old LI Arena- many groups played there- Styx, Foghat, BOC, Twisted Sister, Zebra among others- Excellent, dig up the archives!!

thanks for the tip carl....i will!

also there is a group called "indigenous" i believe they are from the southwest. the guitarist is heavily influenced by stevie ray.

[nj george]

she never played in a band but i was always hot for wnew dj allison steele the "night bird" beautiful woman, what a voice!

[SkellyChamp]

While other guys were jerking off to Playboy I knew a guy who used to wack off to Ms. Steele's voice. He'd listen to the station for hours just to hear her talk.

[Ozzy]

did you guys ever see what Ms. Steele looked like.

if you're talkin DJ's theres none hotter than carol miller.

[Carl M]

Roll the Windows down and crank this tune to the max- HASH PIPE by WEEZER

[SkellyChamp]

Ozzy

I don't know the DJ you're talking about, but NJ George and I are, at this point, talking strictly, voice. But yes, I thought AS was good looking. She died too young.

[Ozzy]

carol miller worked for WPLJ in it's rock hey-day (early 80's) and WNEW fm in the late 80's early 90's. she married to some tv network executive. she's known for "getting the led out" a 30 minute led zeppelin special every night.

[Hotpuppy]

OZ,
For some of us PLJ's rock hey day was earlier than the 80's- anybody remember Detroit Annie?

Was revisiting some early 70's music today and remembered the hardon I had for Joe Cocker's back up singers ( w/Mad Dogs and Englishmen), Rita Coolidge, Kathy MacDonald and Claudia Lennear. Ive always loved backup singers- anyone see the trio with Steely Dan last summer, very hot!
take care hp

[Ozzy]

well their hey day might have went from around 73-83 or so but carol miller was only there from around 80-84.

[Hotpuppy]

Carol was pretty hot!

[Edited by Ozzy on 04-29-2001 at 10:49 AM]

I considered Napster but with my 56K modem it takes forever to download, by the time Im done, it willl have arrived( what the hell tense is this) from Amazon.

Carcass, Pantera, Slayer, Dead.... LOL! What we call extreme Metal alternative

[Ozzy]

i think Pantera's playing the "OZ" fest this year.

gee thanks....

i wait 15 years for them to take david lee roth back, they announce three shows at jones beach the other day and now this.

i think alex injected eddie while he was sleeping with cancer cells just so they wouldn't have to tour with dave.

[Hotpuppy]

sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings
take care hp

[fletch]

Ozzy, I think they knew about this for a long time. So, if they just announced shows, I doubt they will cancel.

[Ozzy]

i thought eddie (or maybe alex) once said he'd rather get cancer than tour with roth.

[Carl M]

The whole band thought Roth was a flaming asshole, I do not understand why they took him back, Did some one say "Show me the Money"!!

[Ozzy]

truth is they're nothing without him. for a while he was the best front man. thats a list that isn't here....

roth
paul stanley
robert plant

maybe axl rose if he wasn't such a dick sometimes.

[Carl M]

INFATUATION by Robert Palmer
All the brothers posting have felt it including myself- LOL!!

[Eye Won]

Pantera is doing the Ozzfest, Pantera and and Slayer have new albums coming out this summer, and Carcass is history......As far as Joan Jett is concerned, beleive it or not, I actually made out with her...she was blown out on heroin at the time but I really didn't care....I met her at the Long Island music awards at the Vanderbilt..The band Im in "The Imperial Pints" won an award for best rock album......Terry Bozzio presented the award(she looked hot) and I met Joan Jett backstage.. She was all whacked out and we started talking and I wanted to kiss her (obsessed with her forever) just asked her and she said no problem and she stuck her tongue down my throat...It only lasted a couple of minutes but is was fuckin awesome.... I will never forget that shit......
Imperialone...........Out

[Carl M]

Cool my brother- Joan Jett- very nice!
Hey bro did you hear Tools new album- some of the songs are long, but very melodic!!

[Hotpuppy]

... for the Lenny Kravitz Greatest Hits recommendation, I'll report on how it works- but I doubt if I'll make it past the first cut<g>
take care HP

[Ozzy]

then start at song #4 "again", because the first few are pretty loud.

[Edited by Ozzy on 05-04-2001 at 05:45 PM]

[Hotpuppy]

Yeah, thats seems like a good idea Oz.

Meanwhile, I find myself with too much time on my hands once again, so started going through the old vinyl collection, and one thing struck me: there used to be alot more bands configured as power trios( guitar, bass and drums). Admitedly, I havent kept up with R&R the way I once did, but it seems that the power trio is a thing of the past. At any rate, my question: who are your five favorite power trios and just to make it interesting, if you include a band on your list, you had to have seen them live, bands that you didnt see can be included as honorable mention.

1. Cream ( c.1966 Murray the K show at Brooklyn Paramount, I think)

2. Band of Gypsies ( Fillmore East 12/31/69)

3. Ten Years After ( Fillmore East 4/20/71)

4. Mountain (Fillmore East 1/30/70)

5. James Gang ( cant for the life of me remember, Stonybrook , maybe)

Honorable Mention: Beck,Bogert &Appice, Traffic( while not a power trio prior to Dave Mason, a great band),
Grand Funk Railroad.

Next time: Horn Bands

[Carl M]

TOOL, CULT and NIN

[Geezy Muldoon]

same.

Heard some new Megadeath- pretty snazzy!

[Carl M]

STP has a new album out- a few tracks are very good

My favorite song for last month is Weezers- HASH PIPE

[Ozzy]

anyone catch little nicky on cable or on video (i know no one saw it in the movies)........

bad movie but a great soundtrack.......


and guess who saved the day at the end.

[Carl M]

I did see bits and pieces of it, it was quite a sick movie with very good background tunes!

[Ozzy]

but you didn't see who saved the world?

:cool:ZZY

[Carl M]

I saw the part where they shrink into that wine flask and that was it.

[Carl M]

OO saved it, saw it last nite in between the game!!

[DickNervous]

This is tough. I have som amny bands that I like. The top of the list would include the following (depending upon mood)

- Queen
- Metallica
- Black Sabbath
- Megadeth
- Ozzy
- Rush
- Billy Joel
- Pink Floyd
- Depeche Mode

Stuff that I am currently listening to ALOT:
- Godsmack
- Linkin Park
- Metallica
- Megadeth

Best Live performances I have seen:
- Metallica/Ozzy @ Brendan Byrne Arena 1986
- Megadeth @ Penny Arcade Rochester, NY 1987
- Yngwie Mamlsteen/ AC/DC @ Brendan Byrne Arena 1986
- Billy Joel @ Madison Square Garden 1999
- Misfits/Megadeth @ Hamersein Ballroom, 1999

Music to Fuck By:
For Hard fast fucking, nothing beats the entire Judas Priest "Turbo Lover" and the entire album. Nice hard beat at just the right pace. My senior year in high school I fucked the shti out of my girlfriend probably 10x a week listening to that. Tried to get her into Metallica (Master of Puppets just came out) but it was too fast for her ;)

[Carl M]

You have definitely pick some top notch bands my brother! Saw Black Sabbath after Ozzy at War Memorial in Rochester 1981, Saw Ozzy as far back as 1982 at the Garden when he bit the bat head with Randy Rhodes wailing!!! Saw Rush 2x in the early 1980's at the Coliseum. Saw Pink Floyd 2x 1980 at the Coliseum and Yankee Stadium 1995. Got both Godsmack albums crack them on the Long Parking lot ride home. Linkin Park- shut up song is excellent. Metallica- The Johnny Got his Gun Tune is my favorite!! Megadeath has a new album that is very mainstream did you hear some tunes? I see you picked Yngwie Malmstein - saw him with Alcatraz back in 1983 at The Coliseum(Got 4 of his albums)- this guy is one of the most underated Guitar players around- Occasionally he plays at local bars in LI and NJ. If you like Malmstein- check out Frank Marino or Al Demeolo. Joe Satriani is good too but he could not carry Yngwie jock strap!

[Ozzy]

i've seen everybody........at least twice!


how about black sabbath/van halen at MSG in 78? i sat up in the nose bleeds and david lee roth looked like an ant with a blonde wig. ozzy looked like a fat little ant.




dick...we gotta hang out. mettalica......lamour's brooklyn 1985. wasp and Yngwie opened up.

speaking of Yngwie....he opened for ronnie james dio at roseland ballroom back in december on a faithful saturday night. you see, i was supposed to meet this girl (who's been talked about a lot on jag and UG) that night for the first time after the show back at her place, but i had about 12 jack n cokes and 6 or 7 shots of jack by the time dio took the stage (hey there were 2 opening bands). my two friends almost had to carry me out of there and drive me home...well they did drive me home, i think. anyway i wound up i standing up this 21 yr old girl (who i'm sure was having a few herself and didn't miss me) and had to take a day off from work (well 3 days off) during the week to meet this girl.

moral of the story.......i haven't a fucking clue except that......that girl became a major pain in my ass.

[Carl M]

What an unbelievable concert around 1984-85 up in New Haven!!!

[Ozzy]

saw them both, but not together.....saw Alcatraz with maiden and manOwar though.

judas priest......i sat down in the orch 3rd row when they tried to burn down the garden in 85. piled up all the orch seats and lit them up....not me, i was a good boy that night. too busy ducking m-80's that were flying from the blue seats.

[Carl M]

Selling shirts at the Garden for Judas Priest- They were lighting off goddam sticks of Dynamite(BB) outside the Garden!! Girls were taking their tops off and I was giving them shirts for free- LOL!!

New Tunes: Check out- Stereomud, Dave Navarro and Type O Negative

blue oyster cult.....burning for you

Rollins Band- Excellent Hard Rock band from the early 90s possible coming back- Henry Rollins is insane!

Slayer- Late 80s, early 90s Hair Metal band similar to DIO- possible making a comeback also.

Reveille- Good band with same style as RATM- lead singer is eerily similar to Tom Moriello

[Carl M]

POD- "I Feel So Alive", has a sound similar to Thin Lizzy- Very nice style.

[Carl M]

On the new album of your namesake!!

[DandyDon]

I'm been reading some of the threads and the only thing I know for sure is that Rock & Roll will always be around!! There's no other music that gets you going like R&R.--when you're down it brings you up and when you're up it takes you higher. Long live Rock and Roll!!!

[Carl M]

Reminds me of Dandy Don Merideth- LOL- Your right bro. You ever listen to some good tunes and it reminds you of your favorite provider- Thats what Rock does for me!

[sod]

While I respect Carl M's right to listen to whatever music he enjoys, I thought I might throw out the names of some artists that aren't necessarily in heavy rotation on K-Rock:

The Strokes: "Is This It" is a phenomenal album, like a cross between the Velvet Underground and the Stooges.

The Shins: "Oh, Inverted World" is the pop masterpiece of the year, many different sounds coming together to form memorable tunes.

Stephen Malkmus: "Stephen Malkmus" is the first solo record by the lead singer of the now-defunct Pavement. The catchiest record of the year, with some seriously understated yet nimble guitar playing.

Obviously, as with all forms of art, YMMV.

[Carl M]

Check out Pink Floyd, 2 CD set- need I say more, brings back some good memories!

[Ozzy]

just ordered the PF set...


a little ticket info......

tomorrow morning (sat) tickets for a "merry OZZY christmas" go on sale. 2 shows, one at the meadowlands 12/23 and nassau col. 12/21 (for you carl), with rob zombie as the opening act.

[Carl M]

I think my buddy got extra tickets for the Coliseum- I hope!! Oswald you aint gonna like what Im about to say but, The New SEVENDUST album blows away Lenny Kravitz. Lajon rules. Now if I could just get my CD back that Dawn lost- LOL!!

New album out or what? Ya know they televised a concert of his on PBS in '99 I think it was. Still getting serious critical acclaim in the LATE 90's.

Personally, I like Rollins better in the mid 80's when he was with Black Flag. But yah, he still kicks ass at 40 sumpthin. Hell, everything I needed to know in life I learned from his music (and spoken word, of course)

BTW- A certain provider you know HATES him (him personally, not just his music) -- Or so told me. I think he gave her a hard time once down in DC at a cafe she used to hang out at.

[Ozzy]

got my tickets.....

Man, what a thing to do to a middle aged man...

All of it coming back in a hazy dream... college radio. Hanging out with "Scottso" and thinking that was just so rad. Jealous of Tony because he had made a connection with Roger Daltry and somehow kept getting tickets delivered to whisk him some place The Who was playing.

DJ'ing in the local clubs. Bouncing when I couldn't get a gig DJ'ing. Either way getting laid regularly.

ABSOLUTELY REFUSING TO SPIN DISCO!!!

I know its rather lame, especially with the Chinni/Chapman connection and all [British version of Don Kershner], but I always wanted to *do* Suzi Quatro [later to be "Pinky Tuscadaro" on "Happy Days"].

Ok. Ok. I know. I know.

Yep.

I was ahead of the curve on that. :) Started smashing disco 12 inches in 78. :)

[mercydancer]

Most of you probably don't know this but, Thorn has been known to belt out a few oldies after a few shots of Jack.Gotta love a man that knows how to appreciate the finer things in life. R&R,a hot woman, and a bottle of Jack.

All kidding aside, I'm a Rollins fan also. But then, I also love Marilyn Manson even if lately his music sucks.
About the don't play list, back during Desert Storm "Walk like an Egyptian" was banned. As if the Bangles were a danger to society. Jeeeezzzz!!!

[Thorn]

Yes, but Mercy... I am absolutely convinced that if you scratch the surface you have a Ronni Spector, if not a Patti Labelle, living just below your skin. Someday I'll get you to shout. :)

I could ditto you on your remarks Lady.

Gotta appreciate a woman who knows how to appreciate the finer things in life. R&R, a hot woman [or a gent], and a bottle of Jack.

A respectfull bow at the waist and a doff of the cap in your general direction.

[Hotpuppy]

Just a quick report on Rock and Roll in Vermont. Last night in Burlington, Phil Lesh and Friends completely burned down old Memorial Auditorium. From Warren Haynes' new readings of "Blue Sky" and "Into the Mystic" to Phils reworking of "St. Stephen" and stunning rendition of "Stronger Than Dirt"- this band led by the old psychedelic warrior( with due homage to fallen comrades), made my ancient Deadhead genes begin to glow with the old fire. Two other amazing highlights, Rob Baraco's eerie, powerful, scary nod to Jerry on "Liberty" and an acid flashblack I had of Duane Allman during "Blue Sky". I wont even go into the lovely, twirling young women who for thirty years have brightened up the shows.
Take care

Ozzy,

The problem with your pic may be that the file is too large (it is around 3k). Or it could be that geocities "blocks" out direct links to files saved onto their server. This is something that Angelfire does. If I paste the url to your file into my browser and then pull it up, the image gets cached and then appears.

[Left_the_scene]

yup - geocities blocks direct links to images from non-geocities urls.

[Ozzy]

alright you two.....


so who's a good host to use the img links on?

[Ozzy]

it's at the hammerstien, but it's sold out. you can try the morning of the show....or scalp, promoters throw tickets back in the pool on occasion.

[sharked]

there is no band more metal than MANOWAR.

if you listen em you'll understand why. and no its not speed death kill your mother music. its metal....... you guys who refuse cut your huge hair will get it. its kinda comical.

anyone know any metal chick providers....
aside from anna of NY. Sometimes them pale goth chicks are hot.

peace

[Ozzy]

the "kings of metal"...

i mentioned this here before, but i went on tour (as a guest of the band) with manowar a few times as well as manatoba's wild kingdom....both were with ross the boss on guitar. manowar was never the same after ross left. the guys were actually together a few months ago at a joey ramone tribute nite at dick manatoba's place in the e. village


http://www.manowar.org/

[Ozzy]

OK....

but it doesn't work if you copy it from here?????


i pasted the same link in a browser and it works...but ?

goto CDnow.com and search manowar-fighting the world-defender...to hear the sample.

[Slinky Bender]

You have to cut and past the two halves together ( i.e. first "line 1", then "line 2" next to it.

A: The fat man who seemed to be asking for greek ( in an obscure way ).

Joe Demaio sucks ( he used to jerk off before going on stage and rub it all over himself to "seal in the power", and yell at the other bandmembers "no one step outside the pentagram!!!!!!!" ).

[Ozzy]

i tried that but i broke UG....

url was too long for the page.

[Ozzy]

i posted that joey was a fag...but i edited it out.

[Ozzy]

and yes...


fat man looking for greek = orson wells. did it shortly before he kicked off. guess that career took some nose dive since he was doing voice overs for 2nd rate metal bands.

[Thorn]

I don't know. I liked it. But then again, I like KISS, so....

:)

[Ozzy]

listen to fighting the world (the song).


and i liked kiss too. and laugh but they reunited better than most bands......with 5 years of sell out shows. gene is nuts but ace was the man.

[Bill Furniture]

There is talk about whether or not their drummer will perform on the farewell tour. The band has been having disagreements over money.

[Carl M]

SLAYER- Old Hair Metal band that has lasted, while others have faded away- Check out their new album "God Hates us all" Excellent guitar Riffs, cross between Metallica and Dio.

[Ozzy]

Kiss kicked peter criss out again almost a year ago (over money matters). the last farewell tour ended in the spring, though there will probably be another one....it'll be without the space ace as well.

gene got a little too greedy this time.

[Bill Furniture]

I was listening to the Peter Criss story as I was reading the KISS post. I heard that Gene Simmons always introduces himself as "Gene Simmons of KISS." Maybe people wouldn't recognize him without the paint.

[Ozzy]

"hi, this is gene simmons of kiss"

that how he intoduces himself.

[Thorn]

Gene use to be a neighbor of mine. This was in the 80's. We didn't speak too often, but I got to know him well enough to know you can never tell if he is being on the level or kidding around. He can be very serious, and then switch gears on you without giving away the fact that he's switched gears on you, and you're buying in to all this horse shit and he's smiling at you, and then you catch on and its like.... "Hey! Wait a minute... are you putting me on?" No answer, all you see is a smile and then his back.

I don't know what that must be like to deal with long term. He'd either leave you constantly amused, or wanting to thump him. :)

One thing I did figure out though, without having to say a word to him, he goes though women like most guys change underware.

Apparently, he has an "understanding" with his long term girlfriend about such activities.

BTW, in person "off duty" he just says, "Hi, my name is Gene." Just like anyone else.

[Carl M]

For any of you married and unhappy listen to "Stay Together for the Kids" One of the best tunes out there!!

[Ozzy]

Joey and the ramones are getting inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame tonight.


still no ozzy, black sabbath or rush...but you can't have them all.

[dirtyjoe]

Rush should be in without a doubt. Hopefully they will tour this summer after an album release or so the rumor says...

[Ozzy]

it's nice to see that the mets have adopted Joey Ramones version of "what a wonderful world" as their new theme song and a sort of tribute to NYC.


satchmo would be proud (http://www.joeyramone.com/wonder.ram)




btw...the first anniversary of his death is coming up in two weeks and there's another benifet planned at manatoba's as well as a street corner that will be named after joey (east 2nd and bowery) near CBGB's.

[Daniel_NYC]

Rush really deserves it. I mean basically they are a three piece band, and look at what they have accomplished!

I am 39, so I grew up with them, Neil Peart is the best. The songs had so much to say, I mean one listen to 2112, and you were headed for the dictionary.

Dan

[Ozzy]

doing acid and trying to figure out the meaning of 2112 (http://mfile.akamai.com/6530/rm/muze.download.akamai.com/2890/us/usrm/365/140365_1_01.ram?obj=v10212)..... (5 pts. to first right answer)

i think i forgot those years entirely.

[Daniel_NYC]

I could explain it, but this is nicer and easier:

http://www.thestranger.com/1999-05-06/excellent9.html

Peart is an avid reader. Many of his song lyrics are lifted from the classics.

Imagine when in high school I had to read Samuel Taylor Coleridge's work Kubla Khan, and remembered Kubla Khan a stately pleasure dome did decree.

When I found out that the 'pleasure domes' were meant to represent women's mammaries, I was really blown away!

Dan

[mij317]

2112 - One of my favorite albums of all time.

The Fountainhead - One of my favorite books of all time.

Same themes are found in both works as is accurately posited by the author in the above link but he misses the boat entirely by stating that the individual that finds the guitar in 2112 thinks it can revolutionize the entertainment industry.

2112 and the Fountainhead are both about the individual, his ability to create art, thereby expressing himself and eschewing the idea of sacrificing yourself to conformity out of altruism for the good of society.

2112 and the Fountainhead posit that society always benefits from the individual who breaks with conformity out of his own sense of ego and creates not only art but also opens the gates of expression, innovation and ideas.

[Ozzy]

for a doppy 15 yr old, the only way to figure it all out was to smoke a joint and put on your headphones.

now with the internet.......it takes all the fun out of getting high.

[Ozzy]

mij317 has the more correct of the two. that the part about "creating art" and "expressing himself or ones self" is the same answer Neil Peart has given in past interviews.

[Ozzy]

btw...that link dan posted has the wrong explaination for "the twilight zone" as well. it was based on an actual Twilight Zone episode in which there was a martian with three eyes. if you read the lyrics you see the rod sterling influence.

The Twilight Zone
Lyrics by Neil Peart

A pleasant faced man steps up to greet you
He smiles and says he's pleased to meet you
Beneath his hat the strangeness lies
Take it off, he's got three eyes

(ref: _Will The Real Martian Please Stand Up?)

rod sterlings martain (http://www.dromo.com/fusionanomaly/twilightzonewilltherealmartianpleasestandupthirdeye.jpg)

[Rufus Moses]

The Ramones are clearly more important than Rush ... the former launched a huge genre of music and the latter ... launched a million bongs?

But it is not at all clear to me that the Talking Heads are more important than Black Sabbath...and I am a Talking Heads fan...

[mij317]

At least he acknowledges that "Something for Nothing" are words to live by.

Waiting for the winds of change
To sweep the clouds away
Waiting for the rainbow's end
To cast its gold your way
Countless ways
You pass the days

Waiting for someone to call
And turn your world around
Looking for an answer
To the question you have found
Looking for
An open door

You don't get something for nothing
You can't have freedom for free
You won't get wise
With the sleep still in your eyes
No matter what your dreams might be

What you own is your own kingdom
What you do is your own glory
What you love is your own power
What you live is your own story
In your head is the answer
Let it guide you along
Let your heart be the anchor
And the beat of your own song

You don't get something for nothing
You can't have freedom for free
You won't get wise
With the sleep still in your eyes
No matter what your dreams might be

Ok, my evening is mapped out. Spark up the fireplace and a joint, crank up the stereo and spend an evening staring into the flames, listening to the tunes and philosophising. (ahhh...university life - except this time it will be chivas instead of meister brau - LOL

[Ozzy]

RUSH had maybe the three best pure musicians in rock.......period.

they also turned out a lot more hits and created their own genre of music that not too many could copy or accomplish. YES being somewhat close and they were nothing to sneeze at either when it came to composing music and their musical abilities. YES also deserves to be in the R&R HOF as they were early pioneers in creating classical music with a hard edge. i'd like to see curt kobain write something like "Ritual-Nous Sommes Du Soleil"......he couldn't even play it.


Ozzy and black sabbath started a whole new genre of music that had more followers and way more influence on those who came later in their foot steps. heavy metal also out lasted punk by about 10 years.



and the ramones are one of my favorite bands so it's no slight on them.

[Rufus Moses]

Both punk and heavy metal are still alive...albeit in the form of mainstream music. It is impossible to say which will live longer...and at times it is impossible to tell them apart...e.g. when does speed metal become hardcore...and vice versa?

What made the Ramones great was that they rediscovered what was always true about rock...that the artistry in rock has nothing to do with technical skill or compositional complexity and everything to do with direct and powerful expression.

Yes wanted fuse a classical music that never was ("classical" is a modernist fiction), with a rock music that never can be (trading its soul for the imagined riches of "quality"). To misinterpret rock music in such a fundamental way is artistic sin...and should disqualify them for any award with the word "Rock" in it.

The Ramones understood this. So should any Ramones fan.

[Ozzy]

i'm not the expert who classified YES as rock n roll but if brenda lee, hank williams and billie holiday qualify, than YES should also.



i don't know how they determine who gets in and who doesn't.....i'll only say that they have no fucking clue what they're doing. they sound like the grammy's when they awarded the first ever heavy metal grammy to jethro tull over metallica (in '87?) who had their "black" album nominated. an album i should point out that sold something like 20 million copies and spawned about a half dozen hits.

[Ozzy]

sam & dave on tour together in the summer of 2002.



(not the old "blues bros" team...... the former lead singers of van halen)

[sod]

Hey, hey, take it easy on the Yes-bashing. Their only fault was burying their noses in their schoolbooks while the Ramones were cutting class and playing with fire. Yes were definitely artists, though, and both bands were rock 'n roll. What's wrong with trying to expand an art-form in a certain direction (which is what both bands tried to do)?

As far as Rush goes, they strung together about six albums in a row in the late 70s/early 80s that were second to none. My personal favorite was Permanent Waves. The song "Natural Science" brought me to my knees.

[Ozzy]

behind bands like Zeppelin, the who, the stones, pink floyd and the beatles, who were all legendary bands equal to none......


rush and yes were right there in the same very top shelf catagory as..... the ramones, van halen, black sabbath, metallica, boston, kiss and aerosmith. . . . maybe a few others as well who all dominated the industry or paved the way for many others.


of course that doesn't include those more known as solo artist who also have a few legends....hendrix, billy joel, elton john and of course the king himself......Elvis.


now i know there's music genres that fall under the rock n roll catagory that i'm leaving out simply because this is ROCK CORNER and it’s about hard rock/heavy metal, and not blues, dance or POP, or else i'd list MJ, madonna, buddy holly, little richard, wilson pickett and aretha franklin...among many others.

I think the RnR HOF is making a serious mistake in not considering bands like Sabbath, Rush, Yes or even Ozzy (by himself) for admission…. Although Oz told them to "shove it" last year when for the 4th straight yr they refused to even put him (or Sabbath) on a ballot that consisted of the “bay city rollers” and “the average white band” (AWB)….. both of whom didn’t even come close to making the final cut. I’m curious to see if Van Halen makes the ballot next year when they become eligible.

[Ozzy]

Oz fest tickets on sale today (sold out).... july 19- 20th PNC bank arts center. (garden state arts center)

speaking of the prince of darkness.... it appears that due to legal BS Ozzy's original recordings of 'blizzard of Oz' and 'diary of a madman' have been remastered with a different rythym section (bass and drummer) so as to avoid an on going royalty payment dispute with Lee Kersley and Bob Daisey ( the original drummer and bass player).

the old original recordings will no longer be in print nor available, so if you got em...save them, they are now collectors items.


Note: Randy Rhodes guitar tracks will remain intact on both albums.
