righto, you lot. as you're all arbiters of taste and culture, i thought i'd throw this out there...

i appear to have found myself in possession of a lot of gun club albums

however, having only ever heard one or two of their songs, i wondered where should i start?

would anyone care to suggest 2 or 3 albums that would serve as a good starting point?

ta

I only have this one. It's average IMO. So start at the begiinning.

Fire of Love!

Damn right. Fire of Love is the place to start.

coolio. i've got that one...

what about a couple of others?

Here?



(Only joking, they're alright!)

Start with Fire of Love and work upwards chronologically.

Start with Fire Of Love and keep it on. If you go any further start drinking copious amounts of Bourbon and keep drinking, and drinking and drinking......

righto, ta

I think their crowning glory is The Las Vegas Story, your mileage... etc

Koen's yer man

fire of love and miami are their finest lp's.
The las vegas story is pretty good as well and the same goes for mother juno.

Miami is my favourite , carry home,sleeping in blood city,mother of earth. The perfect soundtrack for the hot summer...

But that means its gonna be downhill all the way from there though surely?

Fire of Love is also my favourite by some distance.

'For the Love of Ivy' does have some rather suspect lyrics

Sorry for being a little late...you're in the right place with Fire Of Love to start...then slip on Miami and turn up the volume...the production is a bit heavy

If you have The Las Vegas Story and Death Party (EP) you're into my era of the band...best for out right debauchery!

Also wondering if you have any Jeffrey Lee Pierce solo stuff...Wildeweed is awesome!!

Ta!

Miami, followed by The Las Vegas Story.

James,The Love of Ivy is a beautiful love song about the growing relationship between Ivy and Mr Pierce.......if you are a budding serial killer.

Fire of Love for Sex Beat alone is the best starting point if you like a bit of voodoo in your rhythmn

What he said!
Mother of Earth is one of my favouritest songs of all time!

Wildweed also is a must for sure.

Boss, if you like I could send you some nice boots too or the Hacienda dvd's (83 & 84). Drop me a line

Fire of Love is a given as it's a classic.

Beyond that album it all depends if you're prepared to listen to a Nick Cave wannabee with Crampish undertones.

You missed out Jack On Fire

You can make it sound so good, Johnny! Too bad I know about them already or I had a new search on my hands

this is the only one I have. to be honest I don't play it often -> not so gut


maybe I should give that fire of love a try.

yummy. gun club. i like.
*girly fatuous observation*
but true...

@ Johnny and radiojamaica: yeah, sounds good ot me

cheers guys.

have been giving fire of love a bit of a spin. pretty good, with moments of really good, but i'm finding his voice quite hard going after 45mins or so...

i've got miami, mother juno & las vegas story, so i'll work though those in turn also.

cheers for the pointers

I take it you haven't heard his trumpet playing?! He's even much worse at that than singing

It took me a few years to really get in their stuff, but I love the midnight creeps now!
