  1. Sid and Nancy

    in Questions and Answers

    Taken from Rotten.com:

    ------------------------------------------------------------

    Sid Vicious

    Sid was allegedly the bassist for the Sex Pistols, though he was never recorded in the studio and was usually unplugged when playing on stage. His favorite things included his best friend Johnny Rotten until their band broke up, his girl Nancy until he stabbed her to death with a hunting knife, and heroin until his tragicomic overdose at the age of 21. Anti-celebrity incarnate, he still died like a stupid f**king rockstar, wondering why no one was paying him lots of money to shoot drugs, swear, and try to be clever for cameras that had long since lost interest.

    Rotten.com spiritualists have received a special beyond-the-grave message from Sid to all of those hordes of alienated white boys who would give anything in the world to become that most mysterious of archetypes- the famous, nihilist punk rocker: "A$ LONG AS EYE LIVE WITHIN U, PUNKZ NOT DED!@# F*CK 'THE QUEEN!'"

    Good try with the Richard/Ra McGuire thing, Edna! You still a point for it...oh and nope, it's not the Kinks (you get one point for that too)...if no one else gets it in a little while, I'll give a hint.

    TUF, first one... could it be Ginger Baker? It´s at his beginnings, I guess... I though it was french artist Boris Vian...

    The last one is Richard McGuire, who played the bass guitar with Liquid Liquid! That one I´m sure... and as for Ginger Baker too, I found a picture of his early days in my rock encyclopaedia... he´s got a little bit more hait but I´m sure it´s him...

    Well, your definately right about the Ginger Baker picture! It's him when he was really really young. But as to the Richard Mcguire thing...I know him as Ra Mcguire from Trooper...one in the same?

    Get back to me on that edna!

    But for now, here's the new picture:

    What band?

    ~Music Reunited~

    All those sad old love songs

    have just come out to play

    and all those hard rock anthems

    have come to meet the day

    Songs that tell a story

    would like to have shot

    the boy band generation

    has finally come to a screeching stop

    Hippies and their tunes

    will start to flood the streets

    Songs that have strong messages

    yearn to have a world that's nice and neat

    Bands of today and yesterday

    will all go down as one

    As music moves to the horizon,

    towards the setting sun.

    This is just about how I think music is taking a turn, either for the better or worse. Maybe an end to a generation of music...I'm not really sure actually... :laughing:

    I thought that the " Father I want to kill you" thing is part of something Freud said around these lines: When your young you want to have sex with the parent of the opposite gender and kill the parent of the same gender ::. Hence: Mother I want to f*ck you, Father I want to kill you.

    Thats just what I read somewhere though.

    Have you ever heard the their original cast recording of JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT? It too is awesome, though not many know of it. And most that do, know only of the Donny Osmond version (which isn't all that bad).

    I love the Donny Osmond version! I have it on tape and I think it's just awesome. I've loved it for as long as I can remember. When I was younger I used to have every song memorized.

    Jacob! Jacob and sons! :rockon:

    Hahahaha, the only religious story I enjoy.

    It's odd because most Canadians know of him and he's got some fame up here in the Great White North. He even played a concert in my little town of Pembroke, Ontario. But I'm pretty sure that was just because his drummer is from here :rockon: :drummer: Most of my friends have seen him in concert...I still love his first song "Brother Down".

    He is awesome :coolio:
