Re: exMan?
I hate Elton John...just not my thing man..
and that's my era too...you'd think I would like his stuff..
NOPE! [img]/images/graemlins/refuse.gif[/img]
Not saying he's not a good song writer because he sure is...he just doesn't write songs that appeal to me...like the Stones...there maybe two stones tunes I like maybe...just like the Who...two songs maybe...
My dad ruined me when I was young with Sabbath...he was a biker in a MC club and his record collection was Cream , Sabbath , Iron Butterfly , blue cheer , spooky tooth , stepenwolf , the guess who , Jimi , the first two Zeps , the crazy world of Authur Brown (FIRE) and shit like that..
no happy music...that explains it I guess.. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]"Bill, Smoke a Bowl and Crank Van Halen I, Life is better when I do that"

Re: exMan?
I like some of Eltons songs, like Little Jeanie, and Bennie and the Jets, but compared with Sabbath and The Guess Who, his stuff becomes quite like bubble gum............Comment

Re: exMan?
you guys ever hear dream theater's cover of funeral for a friend? that was note for note. goodbye yellow brick road, and the captain fantastic albums are great, and have some really, really good guitar work on there. check out a song called "we all fall in love sometimes" the solo on there kills me every time.
he's fuckin' phenomenal.Comment

Re: exMan?
never said he wasn't good ...he just doesn't appeal to me. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
there is some GREAT musicians who can really play....they just play all the wrong notes to me.. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
I like songs written in minor keys..like D minor...the saddest of all keys...it instantly makes you weep..just like Nigel Tufnel's..."lick my love pump"..i [img]/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img]"Bill, Smoke a Bowl and Crank Van Halen I, Life is better when I do that"

Re: exMan?
Yeah sully, I've heard DT's cover. I thought it was pretty decent. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Davey Johnstone play on Alice Coopers Flush the Fasion album?? I've always liked his playing, who ever he is playing with. And that gnarly tone on EJs The Bitch is Back...gotta love it.The Buzzard does not fear

Re: exMan?
My favorite EJ was his role in Tommy. He was pretty cool in that... not to mention, the movie was really cool overall.Comment

Re: exMan?

But I did watch "Boy in the plastic bubble" the other week...

Re: exMan?
Elton is an icon as much as Paul McCartney, great sonwriting and his guitarist does some brilliant stuff IMO.
I grew up on my sisters collection...yellow brick road was one.Comment

Re: exMan?
Elton John agreed to be in Tommy on the condition that he could keep the boots [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Bill - Yeah, that Arthur Brown (FIRE!) thing - used to see that video on MTV [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
It was definitly a corny piece of work - I guess that's the reason I can't get into the Grunt-n-Screech vocals, because of the first line of that song. It starts off really cool and sounds like it's gonna be a total skullcrusher:
"I AM THE GOD OF HELLFIRE! AND I BRING YOU.."
then it breaks off into some hippie-headtrip keyboard pop, and the guy bobbing around in that Greek Drama Club mask and Darth Vader robe [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
That just ruined it right there [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Every time I hear shouting/growling vocals like that, I think of that one video, and I can't take them seriously [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
I'm the same way with the Stones and the Who - a few songs here and there - not enough to justify an album. I thought I'd take a chance and get a Who compilation disc a while back. There's like 30 songs and I can only stand maybe 5 of them [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Doesn't look like I'll take a chance on 40 Licks, though [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

Re: exMan?
I love that song NEWC...I used to watch a local late nite Horror B-movie host called .."The Ghoul"..
I used to stay up every Friday to watch it...way before cable where you only had a couple of VHF channels...late friday night...well that song was on constant rotation on The Goul ..then my dad would play it..
very very cheezy ...but it's engraved into my gooey soul... [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
I always wanted to do that song ..me and my singer bud always wanted to do that somehow..he watched The Goul too!!!! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
I love the sound of that laughing part...he sounds insane! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]"Bill, Smoke a Bowl and Crank Van Halen I, Life is better when I do that"

the way it should be!
unusual thread and news for sure. wow...you are strong. more power to ya.
man to a woman...no problem (or you were always really a woman, I guess this is more correct?). do something really crazy like change from Jackson to ESP though, and you're outta here!! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] good luck with the music career.Comment
