Damn that thread title just about gave ME a heart attack. Time for them to take a break, I think they should aim for just a few shows a year like at festivals. He can't keep up anymore just look at the guy.

The only thing would kill Lemmy is if they took his daily 5th of Jack away.

just play sitting down on a toilet with a cape around him... the great Pavarotti had it in his contract that he had to be within 300 feet of a toilet when he performed... they used to have a porta- toilet set up behind the bass drum set, that way he could relieve himself on stage.....after all the show must go on.. ::)

I've been a fan of Lemmy since I saw this classic Hawkwind performance on TV in 1972.

The girl used to dance totally naked on stage during the old Hawkwind concerts.

Still don't know how to embed. Lemmy in his younger days...

"Ace of Spades" has been my alarm clock song for several years.

Nothing rousts you out of bed like this tune.

Think so? I dig it on these, still strong and gravelly. Riffs are fantastic, but probably borrowed from 80s Priest tunes.

Ratt - Hell. Yes. 'Eat Me Up" is as good as the classics. (Think I turned you on to this last year, glad you dig it.)

Slipknot - Nah, sorry. Not for me. Too gimmicky, too growly, too derivative, too processed ... just TOO.

Godsmack - This one, fuck yeah. Dig the first two records, when the staccato riff was still sorta fresh. Helmet and Deftones, same thing. Before all the clones, who eventually got the sound dismissed as "nu metal."

Funny, in '99 critics wrote off Godsmack as an Alice in Chains rip-off. I can't even hear that influence anymore, though I thought I could at the time. Probably what I liked about them. No one makes that comparison anymore.

Best fucking band on the planet. Give 'em a listen, rockers.

That guitar solo is freakin awesome in the Ratt video. Man o man, I miss good guitar solos like that, especially with that "wailing sound".

Wow. That is some gritty, soulful stuff. Lead singer has a very talented voice. Good departure from the raspy, groveling tone that most singers in the genre have. Sorta like a funk/blues fusion.

Yeah, they sorta died in the 90s, I think. Solo is a genre thing, I guess. Hard rock and metal, don't hear them anywhere else, really.

Jazz, too. But no one listens to jazz. Which is really too bad, because it f'n KILLS.

Guy's a straight blues/soul singer, never even listened to rock. Hooked up with a Stones/Zep-influenced guitarist and the rest is f'n chemistry. This is the stuff he used to sing:



Seeing them tomorrow in Long Beach, acoustic set at some local music fest. Hot dogs, beer, sounds. Good times.

You know, I've always liked Lenny's style and attitude more than his music. Sorry, gotta be honest. Just doesn't hit me.
 
UNTIL he joined Chains, that is. Love what he's doing with them. Best frontman recovery since Sammy with VH:

This has to be some sort of "all blacks look alike" joke...
But AIC is doing well in my view and most are way too hard on the new signer. Not as bad as STP's new front man. Fuck, he sucks.

DuVall is amazing. They couldn't have found a better replacement. Only criticism is coming from the Layne tribe, those who can't let go.

He's gone, kids, this guy's the next best thing.

This past Summer, they opened for two bands mentioned in this thread, Lenny Kravitz and Rival Sons, and, by many accounts, smoked them both:

Many accounts?

Just Googled the first few pages of Souls/Sons reviews, and while many are complimentary, none even suggest a comparison, much less any smoking. No more than a few sentences each, really, no clue where you got this.

i think they're great, especially the drummer, but they're just a powerful two-piece is all. How much damage can you really do with that?

Having seen pretty much every significant act of the 80s and 90s, only prime Pearl Jam matched what these guys bring to the stage. Tool/Rage had the energy, Black Crowes/Blind Melon, the soul; only PJ had both, like RS.

'Course, I'm biased as fuck.

I understand. Everybody has their band.

That said, the London Souls, in a short time, have built a following in London. They just got another gig opening for a pretty hot band. My guess is that the Souls will be headlining there before long.

That's probably the most accurate statement.

There's a reason why great bands only do a few shows in the US when on tour.

The US audiences are busy listening to Katy Perry and Justin Beiber. :/

Agree, we took a huge shit tastewise somewhere near the millennium.

My band here (from Long Beadh, CA) is headlining all over Europe, selling out everywhere, right. Finally come home to play in Anaheim: 30-minute opener for Halestorn.

Fucking Halestorm for Christ's sake.

Couldn't believe it, like Zeppelin opening for Nickelback. Bullshit.
