better than fat Bob

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Crap. And I say that in full recognition that the original wasn't exactly a staggering work of heartrending genius either.

Also, I didn't think it was possible for a singer to sound like a bigger wuss than Fat Bob, but I stand corrected.

I dunno, I kinda liked it. It's trashy. The female vocals are pretty good, if standard fare. But it would be nice (on their other songs) if she would stop trying to sound American though, she winds up sounding like a cross between Pink and Avril Whatsherface. Which is not necessarily, a Good Thing. I expect them to do extremely well on the high school circuit in the States.
I don't necessarily agree with everything I think.

Exactly. It's a very straight cover, isn't it?
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

So, what were you listening to at that age Sinnie? :wink:
Just curious you understand - This is not some thinly veiled sarcasm ...
:innocent:
They (The Establishment) use sex as an addiction for control, just as they use alcohol and drugs ...
- A programme of systematic frustration in order to sell this crock of s**t as immortality, a garden of delights and love. ...

Not that you asked me, but at that age I was listening to the Misfits. Oddly enough, I still am. Gloriously stupid, but something about Earth A.D. seems very appropriate for a warm spring day.

I saw them live a while ago. Didn't think much to 'em. Then again they were on after NYAAA and I was in deep shock...

...bands that almost no one else at school was listening to at the time (believe it or not!), namely,

this lot:

these dudes:

this chap (and his pals):

these ruffians:

these folks:

yes, even this lot, briefly (go ahead and laugh, I don't care! ;D :lol:):

these blokes:

these geeks:

this (vastly-underrated, imho) bunch:

and this illustrious personage:

...among at least 100 others (but I don't have all day, and I've already hogged enough bandwidth, innit ;))...

:von:


ETA: I was listening to most of these folks from junior high school (around age 12-13) through high school and beyond, actually...

Sinnie! You listened to Icehouse? So did I, and I still think their first three albums are great! Really a vastly underrated band outside Australia...

Oh, aye. :notworthy:
Thank goodness for the early days of MTV (you know - back when they actually played music :roll:), or I'd probably not have found out about them until years later! :eek: :evil:

Ol' Iva (Ivor, actually) was awfully easy on the eyes back then, too... :oops: :innocent:

  • I got you - that's all I want
    I won't forget - that's a whole lot
    I don't go out - now that you're in
    Sometimes we shout - but that's no problem
    I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
    You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lyin'
    Look at you - you're a pageant
    You're everything - that I've imagined
    Something's wrong - I feel uneasy
    You show me - tell me you're not teasin'
    I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
    You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lyin'
    There's no doubt - not when I'm with you
    When I'm without - I stay in my room
    Where do you go - I get no answer
    You're always out - it gets on my nerves
    I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
    You can see my eyes you can tell that I'm not lying
    I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
    You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lyin'
    I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
    You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lying

I have a lovely (and I use that word advisedly) BBC recording of them live - 55mins or so of SE (when they happened, for a bit):
I Got You
One Step Ahead
Shark Attack
etc.

a guid pop band :D

*it's on cassette, taped right there, right then.. does that help?
