  1. Rod Stewart

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    Ok, I have seen some majour Rod Stewart-bashing on this and other sites and I wondered why. As far as I can see he is a great guy. He payed the medical bills of his song-writer (when he was with the faces)when he had multiple sclorosis.

    Also, loads of people describe him as a "cover singer". He has only recently covered songs and they were the swing ones for "The American Song Book". Many bands such as Oasis and Stereophonics have convered songs like Handbags and Gladrags. They have done good versions, and well done, but I don't think Rod should be labled a cover singer when he wrote the songs in the early 60's! Any oppinions? Mabey I'm just ranting... either way...

  4. Word Connections

    in Fun & Games

    Posted

    Realy easy, all you have to do is put down the first word that comes into your head when you read the last one, eg:

    Tom --> Jerry --> Mouse --> Rat --> ect.

    Just make sure you write the last word in your post, otherwise its just a random collection of words. I'll start, you continue. Game ends when no one can think of another word.

    here it is: Food

    You will you won't

    You do you don't

    You're saying you will

    But you know you won't

    You may you might

    Your chest gets tight

    You say you love day

    But you come out at night

    While your thinking, thinking, thinking up a storm in you

    All the things you're thinking, are they false, are they true

    You know the dipsydoodle rag, it tells no lie

    But all the time you're thinking, well you're tricking your mind

    You will you won't

    You do you don't

    You're saying you will

    But you know you won't

    You may you might

    Your chest gets tight

    You say you love day

    But you come out at night

    Well the devil's standing tall on the top of the hill

    Pointing down his fork and betraying your will

    You gotta make decisions whether old or new

    Then god comes from the heavens and he's saying to you

    You will you won't

    You do you don't

    You're saying you will

    But you know you won't

    You may you might

    Your chest gets tight

    You say you love day

    But you come out at night

    Well I've tried so hard

    I've tried so hard

    To make it right

    To make it right

    I'm gonna bury my thoughts

    And forget all my worries

    Tonight

    You will you won't

    You do you don't

    You're saying you will

    But you know you won't

    You may you might

    Your chest gets tight

    You say you love day

    But you come out at night

    Most of this list has either been forgotten about or just plain crap, especially most of the top 10.

    I agree, that was my pick also when I entered this thread.

    Both T'Pau and Verve had at least one other hit! (China in your Hand, and The Drugs Don't Work, respectivly) Deffinitly an american (notice the contemptual missing capital letter) chart.

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    They're a realy hard rock / grunge band from late eighties through to now, fantasicaly funny lyrics, very satanic, but still a good band. I seem to be one of the only people that has heard of them, has any one out there heard of them? If so, what do you think of thei music?

    My Dad "claims" that he was at he same school as Ringo Star, I can't remeber what school it was, and I think my dad was making it up.

    Having read through what I just wrote, I'm not sure that there was any point in it! Oh well, Im gonna post it anyway, why waste a whole 60 seconds typing someting and then not giving it to the world? :shades: :beatnik: :shades:

  18. Most Motivating Songs

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    If I needed to be motivated to get a job done, then these would go straight into the CD player... Although i'd never finish, becasue I'm changing the CD every three minuets!

    Bat Out of Hell, by Meatloaf

    Smoke on The Water, by Deep purple

    Ready to go, by Republica

    When we were the new boys, by Rod Stewart

    Power, by Snap (or Yazoo, I can't remember)

    She's electric, by Oasis

    Faster than the speed of night, by Bonnie Tyler

    I have room for 13 more tracks on the CD, you have to fill them!

  19. Ziggy Stardust - Five Years

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    I love Bowie / Ziggy Stardust! Unfortunatley, being 15 years old, that means that very few of my peers have head of him (although I did manage to play some of it on a teacher's laptop!) One thing that has been puzzling me:

    In the song "Five Years" What the hell was that about? I'm sure I know, but the answer is lying just out of reach! The other thing was: He uses the phrase "and it's cold, and it rained, so I felt like an actor!" what was that about?

  20. Best Workout Songs

    in Questions and Answers

    Posted

    These two songs will make you wanna go outside, take the roof down off of your car, and bomb it down the motorway / Freeway (depending on where you are) at 100 mph.

    Or fill you with determination for what ever your doing, they were life savers during my GCSEs! :guitar: :headphones:

    Ready to go - Republica

    Elevation [Tomb Rader Remix] - U2

  21. Elton John (Kelowna)

    in Concerts

    Posted

    I think it's much more his answer to Ziggy Stardust, and space Odity 2001, about how the guy was just kida waiting to die after his life line went.

    i am open the "Carear" theory though.

    Another thing I was wondering about: the line "i'll be high as a kite by then", is that metaphorical? :drummer:
