What are you listening to, right now................
-
<p>My top 5 favourite songs have been set in stone for quite a while now, but, ever since Tim posted that Red Fang song, i don't think there has been a song i have listened to more than "Prehistoric Dog" by Red Fang. It's got a fucking killer video as well</p>

<p>I'm enjoying this promo jingle that Lou Reed cut for Radio Hauraki in 1977.</p>

<p>so, i was watching the music channel yesterday, and they had a countdown of the top 20 "hair bands". They had a bunch of aussie musos talking about their memories of each band, and some things became apparent:</p>
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1. Sarah McLeod from "The Superjesus" who i thought was sexy as fuck when i got into them in the '90s, is still pretty fucking sexy;</p>
<p>2. The chick from "Killinh Heidi", a band i hated, and chick i thought just looked terrible, is actually pretty hot now she is part of "normal" society;</p>
<p>3. Lots of hair bands got famous with uncharacteristic ballads.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But the one that stuck with me the most is, Skid Row were a fucking great band. Awesome live (man they shat on the Gunners in the early 90s at Mt Smart), and with really good rock songs. Sebastian Bach may look like a chick, but that motherfucker could sing. I reckon this is just about the best "hair band" song ever</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Note: this excludes Guns n Roses, as i don't consider them a "hair band" they were too dirty. </p> -

<p>Skid Row were that hair band who were almost cool enough for you to admit to liking back in the early 90s.</p>

<p>You guys are taking the piss here, right. Right...?</p> -
<p>oh hell no, and you are showing your age too RT. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>in '89 & 90, as an impressionable 12-13 year old boy, this stuff was the shit. I had a Poison tape, and i had a Skid Row tape, and i had a Def Leppard tape, and i thought Motley Crue and Guns n Roses were the baddest mother fuckers around. They had motor bikes, and slutty looking chicks, and it looked awesome. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I grew out of it pretty quick, but at the time i thought it was the greatest shit ever. And so did nearly everyone else around me. </p> -

<p>Sarah MacLeod is damn sexy with an awesome voice and a quick search on google reveals that she is bisexual. Sweet.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mariner did you see the tv show about the group formed with Bach, John Bonhams son and Ted Nugent? He still got a decent voice but the booze has really fucked him over. Ted Nugent came across as a cock , no surprises there I guess.</p> -
<p>Ted Nugent is a gun nut. a militant gun nut.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>nah, didn't see it. bet he's not pretty any more</p> -

<p>A militant gun nut who pretended to be insane to avoid going to viet nam . Recently he's been accused of having sex with Courtney love when she was about 13.</p>
</div>

<p> </p>
<p>That's what Courtney Love accuses, and not a lot of reasons to disbelieve her. Nugent married a very young girl. Most of us probably don't want to know the sordid details of our fave pop stars. Led Zeppelin (Jimmy Page, especially) was swimming in girls every night who were the same ages as the girls that had "consensual sex" with Roast Busters. It ain't pretty, and rock music has a history of it going back at least as early as Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nuge is a sleazeball idiot with a limited repertoire... but he could always rock, from the Amboy Dukes to solo. Left-wing punk rock icons Ian MacKaye (MInor Threat, Fugazi) and Henry Rollins (Blag Flag) hate-despise-loathe-cannot stomach Nugent's political idiocy, but still swear to this day that Nugent kicked ass as a rock performer. Nugent's interview patter from the 1970s is also legendary - he was laying down rap before there was rap. Besides that, he pooped in his diapers to get a deferment so that he didn't have to go to Vietnam.</p> -

<p>I bought a cool brand new 3-CD set of George Jones at a Walmart discount bin for 5 bucks. The country legend died earlier this year and I figured WTH. Superb investment.</p>
