Billy Idols new one whatcha think?

[Sandy-Hazard]

I picked it up. I'm really groovin on it. Sounds GenX ala Rebel yell period. I love when old guys still kick ass.

In other news I got Weezer tickets which made my entire week. Watched The Ramones Documentary "End Of The Century" last night, great flick.

What a great Album the Billy Idol album is! But as I said before who wants to play an Xmas song(as brilliant as it is!) out of season. People are gonna look at ya gone out cranking that up.

And in other news saw the New York Dolls new dvd last night. Brilliant!

Half great, half O.K., with some of the worst lyrics ever being written. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

Cool, I'm going to pick the Dolls DVD up at Best Buy today...Oh yeah!

In other news...that Gene Simmons DVD, speaking in tongues is atrocious. Holy low budget..kinda surprising for Simmons. A buddy of mine lent it to me.

Haven't heard anything off of it yet. Do know that all the reviews i have read on it give it 3/4 or 4/5 stars. And he what produced by the guy that did his first 2 albums.

[Sandy-Hazard]

Haven't scoped out the lyrics yet Carl, I'll investigate [img]smile.gif[/img]

Keith Forsey is the producer. The production is awesome IMO.

Well have just got hold of the Billy Idol one today. Have only listened to a couple of tracks so far but am liking it so far.

As for the New York Dolls dvd that is excellent have had it for a while now but its never moved to far from the dvd player.

[Carl I.]

Yeah, the production is quite stunning! It's a really good album, there is no doubt about that. IMO it is his best work since putting his voice to "Valley Of The Dolls", which I consider one of the greatest albums ever recorded.

***but then again...I also don't like anything he has done SINCE Generation X and that includes all of the Gen X material, and I think Steve Stevens is the most overrated guitarist in the history of music...so take my word for whatever they seem to be worth***

I only heard that one track, Scream. Re: the crap lyrics, what's all this lemon tree garbage he's on about??? [img]graemlins/wonder.gif[/img]

Give him his dues, Bill Idol was fucking about with
'cyberpunk' concepts back in '97, which was quite
a few years, of course, before the I'm-online-I'm
drunk-I'm self important-I'm egotistical-hear-
me-scream culture took over. I'd love to hear the
new CD. Mp3?

PS: Carl - Steve Stevens is ace. His 'ray-gun'
effect, according to one magazine, is achieveable
with a broken Budweiser can and a grudge, but
nonetheless, it changed things.
