i have the 1st two classic albums of frijid pink, would like to find earth omen" by them on disc, kool thanks for replying, would also really dig the salem witchcraft stuff if anyone could put that together, i collect michigan rock, among other things.
I was in a band called Outerdrive, and Clyde Stevers (Frijid Pink's manager) managed us also. He told me he wasn't satisfied with the musicians in Pink and wanted me to replace the Guitarist and lead singer since I did both. I said hire my Bass player (Terry Stafford (now a Detroit Cop) and keyboardist Ray Knapp (now a carpenter in Sebring Fl.) So we went on the road with them for 4 Yrs. We were too busy touring to record, but I did some studio guitar work for a LOT of people at a then BIG Detroit studio. Remember SRC, The Warlocks, Mitch Ryder, Mike Quatro, Suzie Quatro (Happy Days), The Hodge brothers from Catfish. I know I left out a lot, but there were some GREAT bands there. Sorry for being so long winded.
would also love to find, catfish' live at the eastown theatre. have the 1st one, "get down" on disc, had all that stuff on vinyl at one time. and catfish hodge' boogie man gonna git ya, what a classic, that hasnt been reissued on cd yet.
identity music, only for justs brothers & sisters. & also r.a.c. no music for moneys cuccess,but from heart & for justice. music tahat like only to brothers of: U.S. euROPE.
i also agree about radio being terrible, unless its a specialty show or indipendent station, its too bad most people think thats all there is, and when you try to turn them on to something they dont want to know.
Sadly Metallica died with Cliff Burton. Nothing compares to the first three albums and I can't stomach anything after that really. Too contemporary and radio inspired for me.
Of the bands in that genre that came out around the early 80's the only one true to their roots and style is Slayer. Some few others came stayed true and died off so in that at least they remained honest and did not sell out.
so ive been hearin about this album for years, and ive only ever heard a couple songs from it on compilations, and i like the group so i decide im gettin it, the album, "sf sorrow" by "the pretty things" this is a concept album or rock opera" that came out at the same time that the beatles had sgt.peppers out, sf sorrow never got noticed in a big way, but it is a great album, i always heard and read that it was classic and did like the tracks that i heard before, but to hear them in the context of the whole album, awesome< if you are a fan of the pretty things or of the concept album concept, you owe it to yourself to have this record. and if you already have, whats your take on it?
ok let us all some how believe that in whatever our lives are, that we see ourselves as progressive, liberal, conservitive, hip, groovy, cool, whatever, than why is it that most people are'nt very adventurous when it comes to music, for instance one is into classic rock and they otherwise believe themselves to be hip somehow, that to them classic rock is only what the've heard on the radio, or because a magazine tells people what to be into if they want to be with it, these very same people may even think in the abstract about life,philosophy,art, spirituality, but they cannot go there with their music prefrence, now i respect-ed, lester bangs opinion about music and he hated this group, but for me they were killer, Atomic Rooster" their first 3 albums to me are classic, why anybody that digs deep purple, black sabbath, led zep, wouldnt check out these guys is beyond me. i don't like it because it wasnt on the radio, this is what people say, how lame is that rationale, thats like saying i dont want to read a new book because i havent read it before, if we think we are hip what are we hip to, and if inlightenment is what we seek through our persuits in life, why not also with the music that was created and left here for us to discover and enjoy.
my last post was spicific to classic rock fans, but could pertain to other genres as well, only if you consider yourself more than a little into music. have fun discovering music!!
