The Music Thread

Jambo's main squeeze:



He has the musical intellect of a child born into The Partridge Family and The Osmonds era.
 
Karl Wallinger: (19.10.1957-10.03.2024)



Ex of the Waterboys (Mike Scott needed him more than Karl needed Scott) before forming World Party and releasing his own, far superior, music. Having dealt with Scott first hand I can entirely understand Wallinger walking out. Scott's an arrogant bastard, always was, always will be. I spent a weekend jamming with them in The Top Hat out in Dunlaoire after Kevin Wilkinson topped himself. It was a nightmare from the get-go and one of the lousiest times of my life watching these guys drag their arses through their own music.

As it happened, Fran Breen got the gig - and recently he told me of the tribulations that drove him to walk out too.

One day Scott'll get what's coming to him.

Well, forgive me for pissing on your party but I met Slash and the newer drummer at Slane at the Use Your Illusion tour where I was hired as an assistant to Daryl Downey, the son in law of MCD owner Denis Desmond. Guns and Roses had seven caravans backstage and ours was beside Slash's, who was a pretty laid back guy. Axel Rose had to be practically dragged out of his caravan by his own crew because he was pissed andhigh as a kite and didn't ecen know what fucking country he was in.

They were shite.

After two songs I went up to the staff room in Slane Castle and took a nap.

When I woke the gig was almost over so I walked back down to see the end.

After they dragged their arses off the stage, I was under the drum riser pulling red hot stage lamp plugs out of their sockets. The crowd were still cheering and thinking they'd come back for another encore, but nah: Axel went back to bed. Rock and roll, eh?

Yeah - it IS weird standing on a stage with 60,000 Irish people screaming for more.

Even with my tool belt on they thought I was something to do with the band.

But then I am rather fetching in a rock'n'roll kind of way, right?

How about you?

Did you hop the fence or were you even there?

Stick with Oasis, Jambo - they're about your intellectual singalong level.
 
Yo Dave! David David

I'd like to hear your thoughts about this -



The reason I ask is, is because I know that metal fans (which I think you are, Maiden and others) really hate GNR. Why is that reasonable. Sure, they (GNR) point somewhat in that direction, clothes, haircuts and so on, even the music sometimes.. But GNR were a rock 'n roll band, what's the beef? 🤔

Because they're a cheap-assed American fake Hanoi Rocks.

Read up, they even said so themselves that when The LA Guns and Hollywood Roses decided to collaborate, they based their image on Andy McCoy and Michael Monroe's gypsy style with Hanoi Rocks. Sami Jaffa (another legendary Finn) still plays bass with The New York Dolls and was Hanoi Rocks' original bassist. All that said, Hanoi Rocks were/are shite. Big in Japan, yes. But in America? Not so much. They did three nights in London recently and oddly enough every ticket sold out.

Andy and his ex-wife Angie had their own Osbourne's-style television show which documented Andy's hopeless relationship with drink. Monroe is a TV veteran at this stage and hasn't changed a bit since the 1980's. He's still a popular name at the summer festivals and has had a number of shows of his own. Hanoi Rocks were plagued by bad luck, alcohol-related incidents, deaths, and drug issues.

Sami Jaffa did well out of his career with Hanoi Rocks and is very comfortable fronting his own Finnish television show about Finnish food and drinks traditions. He basically travels all over the country getting pissed and having take-away night-food. Great bassist, you might see him on any stage in town and it's no big deal. Monroe gets all the attention though. Andy's hopeless from the drink. Last time we talked it was early afternoon and I was waiting for this one band playing that night to get an interview for the college magazine: Andy came over and drank the equivalent of an Irish wake. The band quit the interview because of him and I had to finish it that night by phone.

Hopeless isn't the word for it.

But anyway - forget Guns & Roses - they're a second hand Hanoi Rocks.



Furthermore: Jambo - you know fucking nothing about music.

Invest in some Spice Girls albums or remixes of Showaddywaddy hits, you're fucking useless.

I was trying to have a convo here with Dave, do you mind?
 
Stick to writing fan mail to your Oasis fan club.

Who knows? Maybe one day you'll meet a nice girl with one huge eyebrow instead of two.

Dopey fucking cunt.
 
Listen up, Jambo: like with everything else in your tiny mind, your knowledge of music is as pathetically second-hand as your opinions on political/social matters are as borrowed from either Keith Woods or Laura Towler. Or Morgon. Or any of several dozen other mouthpieces for the deluded. You haven't had an original thought probably ever in your life, and your lexicon is made up of idiotic online abbreviations and second-hand retorts you've also borrowed from elsewhere.

Face it, Jambo: no matter how many names you use on how many different sites - you're still just Jambo.

That's all you'll ever be: a second rate hack with illusions.

It's getting really boring showing you up for the gobshite you are.

Kill yourself.
