Ooh, that place is cool, thanks for the linky. And wow, they have Kimi & Ritz on the X-mas page... wasn't expecting anything THAT obscure lol
Pretty good site! I'm glad to see some US glam bands beside AC and The Dolls are mentioned!!
I don't agree with their thoughts on the '80s or '90s, but otherwise the site is great.
NOT that informative I'm afraid. I certainly wouldn't rely on information from a geezer who thinks that Steve Priest was the 'guitarist' in Sweet!
<font size="4" face="Arial">Did he actually say that? I did notice the section called "Camp Guitarist", and of course, Priest was quite outrageous. Of course I know Steve was the bassist.Quote:

When I said informative, I meant about all the obscure bands on there. Being born in the US, and in 1970, I hadn't heard of many of these bands, but probably will check out a few if the oppurtunity arises. Has anybody heard that Brett Smiley stuff??? A lot of bands on here I'd like to hear.
That's mainly what I liked, the bands you don't hear about now, such as Another Pretty Face.
As for Brett Smiley, his music has been released on CD recently, amazon.com has it.
...but Pan's People??? Should they be there? Isn't that kind of like saying that the Solid Gold Dancers were Pop? Seems silly, IMO.
There could probably be a ton of arguing about who should and shouldn't be on there. I haven't really looked at it thoroughly, since basically I saw it, looked around, then linked it. What I do like is that usually on the questionable ones he listed the association to glam that the bands have. I really liked the whole "Junk glam" pages, because there are a ton of bands I've never heard, along with pics. By the pics, most looked fairly glam. I'll just have to seek out soem of this stuff, and judge for myself. BTW, I've always loved pop, so if it's more "pop" than "glam", thet's fine too.
It was good to see The Wombles get a mention though...
The staff at CLAWS OF SIN Website http://www.clawsofsin.tk has never liked and supported 70's glam rock. We only support Bestial Cock Shock Metal Rock from the 80's! Go and check it out!
why no support for the 70's? Afterall, most of our awe-inspiring musicians started out on the scene then?
<font size="4" face="Arial">Your loss, and an attitude that will keep me from Claws Of Sin.Quote:

Ok, then I guess Pan's People would be a no then. LOL! After you mentioned them, I went to look what it said about them, and I still can't find them. What section were they in???
They are in the girls section. Click on the link for them once there and go to a PP (heh, heh) website. Sure, they are all hot and stuff, but they are also basically the Solid Gold Dancers, but without the gay guys. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

One of them was the sort of jumping from side to side to songs such as Blockbuster. Plus, several bands credit PP with encouraging them to wear more makeup. Also, according to Andy Scott, it was a good way to get close to PP, cos they were quite fetching.
<font size="4" face="Arial">If you go to the first link you will find a review of his album, with a short clip of the song "Space Ace".Quote:

But, if you follo wthis link:
http://64.27.65.90:8080/ramgen/other...rowser-wrapper
It is a Real Audio track of more of the song. I'm trying to figure out who he sounds like. Pretty cool, and I am interested in hearing more.
<font size="4" face="Arial">I know what you are talking about, but don't remember the name of the band.Quote:

Was it London that had him in it, and was it Aerial?
I think it was Nikki, Aerial, and maybe...ohhhh...drawing a blank...the Spiders and Snakes guy...damn...name...name...
Lizzie Grey. Thats his name.
And I don't think it was Aerial, it was somebody who entered into Mott once they became just "Mott".

<font size="4" face="Arial">Nikki Sixx, no matter what he says now, was one of those who kinda rode out the late 1970s due to the fact that the media was sooo obsessed with The Ramones and "punk". As I've said before, there were people who were continuing with glam, but were lumped in with Heavy metal by the media in the late 1970s. In fact, that is what anyone who didn't look like The Ramones/Pistols/Walking Deads/et cetera was called by the media. That is how the term "NWOBHM" came about, a comment on the fact that the media used "heavy metal" as an insult.Quote:

Now we are discussing the links between 1970s glam and the early 1980s glam.
<font size="4" face="Arial">What a fucking idiot! Got any idea of the influence REAL glam had on the 1980s?? Blackie Lawless was JT's replacement in The Dolls for awhile, Crue, in their early, pre Shout, glam incarnation, was highly influenced by Sweet.Quote:

Moron.

Carl and Jay
The band was LONDON
The MOTT guy was vocalist Nigel Benjamin, Ian Hunter's replacement (they also shortened the name to just MOTT when Nigel joined)
That's what I thought it was. Then I did a little looking and thought it had to be Nigel. Thanks for the clarity Dezi!!! How ya feeling???
