hanoi, No doubt about it
Plimsouls all the time, wel lunless a cover version pops in my head
Hanoi... Every time.
HANOI ROCKS!!!!
Stiv Bators and Hanoi Rocks... Of the 2 I preffer Stiv Bators, even if they're both fantastic songs
Well, the Hanoi song is quite legendary.
Especially the version from Europe-A-Go-Go.
Always thought the "Million Miles Away" (totally different song) from Michael Monroe's solo album "Nights Are So Long" was pretty underratted myself. Nice guitars and a real hook of a melody all the way through
The one from Mike's solo album is a cover of the Stiv Bators song... but you probably knew that
It is? Cheers for that!
Been meaning to check out Stiv's solo stuff for ages.
Liked what he did with the Dead Boys and heard a lot of cover versions of his solo stuff too.
"Disconnected" is on the shopping list then!!
Glad I could be of help:-) I also quite like both the Dead Boys and Lords Of The New Church. The Wanderers I think sound a bit dated now, but of all the stuff Stiv did my favourite is really his solo stuff.
Disconnected is the only real album he released, but since then there have been many compilations of his singles and EPs which are well worth checking out too. A few years ago his last album was released too... can't remember the title now, but that is not so cool. I think I only liked Poison Heart (the one Ramones covered later) and Magic on that one.
I think many Glitziners would like Disconneted. It's not exactly bubblegum glam, but not that far from it either. Good melodies and great rock songs all the way through.
Stiv
then Mike covering Stiv
A wonderful song.
Its also the location I would like to be each time Swindons scores are read out at full time on a Saturday afternoon...
initially i thought Winger, but then i realised i was confused with "miles" away, and this topc is for a song that goes a lot further... [img]wink.gif[/img]
Hanoi!
Hanoi for sure
<font size="4" face="Arial">Stiv?s last album was called "Last Race". It is actually collection of demos that he made just before he died. And yes, it?s not that great. Some of the tracks on the album were also demoed by The Lords.Quote:

The story of Poison Heart is funny (how he stole the demo from DeeDee?s bag before DeeDee had time to offer the songs to Ramones...)
And yes, Disconnected is really one of the best records EVER, as is most of the stuff that Stiv did- Dead Boys, 1st Lords album, Wanderers and the BOMP-era singles (maybe my favourite stuff of his career. Can be found from L.A L.A or L.A Confidental-collections, out on BOMP. His version of The Choir?s "It?s Cold Outside" is a classic!).
About Million Miles Away- to me it?s Stiv, Hanoi AND Plimsouls [img]smile.gif[/img] They?re all amazing songs.
Last Race, that was the title. Thanks!
Yeah, that Poison Heart story is pretty funny. I read that in a book, but can't remember which one it was. Was it Dee Dee's biography? Poison Heart is better with the Ramones though.
With Stiv there is also that red cd. Can't remember the title of that either, but it has 2 albums on it. Think Night Of The Living Dead Boys and a compilation of BOMP singles. The cover of the CD is completely red and he's standing there with a pirtate shirt and suit jacket on with the 2 original album covers by his side.
If you have Dissconnected, the red one and LA LA you're pretty much set with Stiv Bators solo stuff I think.
Who are the Plimsouls?
E-Z-O
<font size="4" face="Arial">I think it was in DeeDee?s book, and at least it was in Please Kill Me. It would?ve been great if The Whores of Babylon would?ve actually get something done....(Stiv, DeeDee and Johnny Thunders). In "Last Race" it says that they all play in it, but I?ve read from many sources that it isn?t true.Quote:

The red cd is "Night of the Living Dead Boys" and "The Lord and The New Creatures", which is actually French version of "Disconnected".
Great power pop-band from the 80?s, formed by Peter Case who was also in The Nerves- probably the BEST power pop-band ever (they did the original version of Blondie?s "Hanging on the telephone). I can upload their Million Miles Away at somepoint when I get home.
That would be great! Would love to hear it. Never heard of them before [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img]
Here?s the link to Plimsouls.

And if you haven?t heard The Nerves, do check them out! Also you should check out The Beat, band that other ex-The Nerves, Paul Collins formed. Their "RockNRoll Girl" is one of the greatest popsongs ever!
Hi FWTF! Thanks! What a fucking great song!:-)
I already know Rock'n'roll girl and the Beat. Think it's cool, but preffered this one though.
Thanks again!
i think of the moon [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
NIN
Hanoi, definately.
About The Lords stuff. I love them so much, but bought some horrid compilation, that had never heard of before. Can't remember the name of it, will try to check tonight
Plimsouls without a doubt. One of the greatest songs ever. Plus, one of the greatest bands ever, from one of the greatest albums ever. Not a bad song anywhere on it.

I really like the first Lords-album, but the 2 albums after that are not that great- although they do have some great songs, of course. Well, quite many, actually, but still they are my least favourite albums in Stiv Bators-catalogue.
And yes, Plimsouls is a great band.
I found the horrible Lords Cd. Doubt if its been authorised by them,or official or anything. Anyhow, its called : Stories at Dusk.Its by company called Alchemist, introduction series, year 2003.
Goo Goo's, massive fan from way back..
<font size="4" face="Arial">Jed and Hold Me Up are both great albums.</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="4" face="Arial">Yes, but Superstar Car Wash is better than either (even if there's no tracks with Lance Diamond on it). [img]smile.gif[/img]Quote:

Bah, Superstar was the beginning of the end for me with them. It was O.K., but this is when they really started to turn total Pop. Plus, it's also when Johnny completelty decided to become Paul Westerberg by even using a song written by Paul.
