    I think they have a 70's sound to them, like James Gang,
    maybe some Humble Pie, BTO, and Jealous Again sounds quite a
    bit John Cougar Mellencampish.

Is it no wonder that I loved the guys the first time I heard them? I asked 
about them in MUSIC weeks ago, but never got much of a response. They are from 
Atlanta, and just recently played in town with Junkyard. They are scheduled to 
come back to play at Axis on May 2nd, I think - I'm psyched to see them live!

"Jealous Again" does sound like JCM, but even more like the Stones. And the 
album is supposedly very Stones-ish. Both the Boston Globe and Musician gave 
it very strong reviews. Gotta check it out soon.....

    When I first heard them I thought of early Mick and the boyz days,
    I think they sound very Stones-ish. I think I will wait for this one to
    get to the CD club then grab it...
    

    
    
    	A review in the June '90 issue of RIP on Black Crowes..
    
    	BLACK CROWES
    	"Shake Your Money Maker"
    	
    	Rates with three daggers (out of four) as "heavy"
    
    
    	When you listen to the Black Crowes debut album, you know they've
    	been through more than their fair share of barroom brawls, run-ins
    	with local floozies, nights in the drunk tank and just general,
    	all around hard livin'.  God knows where they got this massive
    	amount of experience, because from the looks of 'em, these guys
    	are mere kids.
    
    	"Shake Your Money Maker" has shades of Humble Pie, the Allman
    	Brothers and "Sticky Fingers"-era Stones chewed up and spit
    	out like a wad of Red Man.  That ol' electrified Southern blues
    	is epitomized in tunes such as "Twice as Hard" and "Stare it
    	Cold."  There's a swaggering weave to "Jealous Again" and 
    	"Sister Luck" is a lazy, worldweary piece -- the sorta song
    	you might put on when you're watching the sunset, drinking
    	moonshine and ponderin'.  When singer Chris Robinson lays
    	into Otis Redding's "Hard to Handle," his hefty lungs belie
    	his skinny frame.  THe only time the Black Crowes show their
    	youth in in "Thick n' Thin."  This combination of '50's
    	rhythms and '70's riffs is performed with so much snottiness
    	and fresh energy that a group of oldsters couldn't possible
    	have pulled it off.  
    
    	It's no surprise that this bunch hail from south of the 
    	Mason-Dixon line, but the fact that they're from Atlanta, 
    	Georgia, does strike an odd chord -- they must have grown up
    	far apart from the strains of the alternative scene that
    	spawned REM.  This brand of rockn'nroll sparkles like pieces
    	of silver thrown carelessly into the gutter -- it's gritty
    	and loaded with soul.

I went to see the Black Crowes at Axis on Wendesday, and let me tell ya - they 
were HOT!

I had only heard the single (still haven't picked up the album yet - I will 
this weekend). "Jealous Again" sounds a lot like the latest Stones album.
However, that's not what they really sounded like live. They were more of a 
blues/boogie band like in the early 70's. 

The singer has a voice that is very reminiscent of Steve Marriott, with maybe 
a touch of Paul Rogers thrown in. Overall, the band reminded me of Humble 
Pie's 'Live at The Fillmore' album, and Faces w/Rod Stewart. They did a great 
cover of John Lennon's "Jealous Guy", and the rest were originals.

There was also a lot of stage presence from these guys! Although it was a 
small stage, they were still running around and jumping and just really having 
a good time. I just wish they played longer (they were the opening act for 
McCauley/Schenker Group).

If you like Faces, Humble Pie, Georgia Satellite, 'Sticky Fingers' and 'Exile 
On Main Street' - then you'll also love this band! I highly recommend that you 
see them if they come to your area!

alan

P.S. There seems to be quite a 'street buzz' surrounding the band. Lots of 
     radio and press there to see them, and they are rumored to be opening
     up for Aerosmith this summer....

    re -2
    
    Somehow, I'm not surprised ......		8^)
    
    I'm gonna grab the CD today !
    
    Scary

    
    The BC's will be back to tour the UK in September - no dates have
    been confirmed.
    
    ....I thought they were here last month!
    
    Flip

    They've got a new video for "Twice As Hard" ... cool band !
    
    Scary ..
    

    IS it my imagination or do they have alot of the sound that Billy
    Squire uses on guitars??
    
    		Wendy.
    
    

    
    I have to agree with Scary this bad is cool.  Now if only I could find
    their CD I'd be very happy!
    
    Rae

    I'll 3rd that opinion...very cool baNd!  I like refreshing sounds in
    hard rock.
    
    B.
    
    PS - They use Marshalls, too!
    ;^)

Rae, I've seen it all over the place! Maybe try Lechmere or Strawberries, they 
should both have it.

I picked up the CD a while ago, after seeing them live at Spit (or whatever 
its called now - I forget the new name). Anyways, its a *very* strong debut 
album, and captures a nice live feel. This is similar to many of my all-time 
favorite albums, which this might join the list, in that my favorite song 
changes from week-to-week, the more I hear it - right now its "Sister Luck"!

alan

    
    thanks Alan.  I've tried Strawberries in Leominster and Sudbury and
    Record Town in Leominster.  I think I'll just order it thru noteworthy
    I know I can get it there!
    
    Rae

    
     Anyone heard the acoustic version of "Jealous Again"??? It is really
     good. 
    
    								R.C.
    

    Nope - that would be interesting ...
    
    My band just learned "Too Hot To Handle" last night ... I think
    "Jealous Again" just got booted to our #2 best crowd pleaser spot !
    
    Scary ... who gone totally no-trem !!!

    
    Finally got the CD and had it taped.  Listened to it all weekend.
    I LOVE it.  Too Hot to Handle is a cool tune Scary and would be
    great to hear a band cover.  The whole CD is good.  Kinda refreshing
    change of music style for me.
    
    Rae

    Me and the boize did "Too Hot ...", and "Jealous Again" at a big
    festival this weekend ... the crowd soaked 'em up like a sponge !
    
    Scary ....

    
    .20   Cool Scary!!!!!! I bet is sounds great too!!
    
    Anyone know when/if Black Crowes might be back in the Boston area???
    
    Rae
    

    I also really like this band...a nice change o pace!

    Uh oh ... first I find myself saying " YEAH ! " to the Cooksters
    comments in the Metallica note, and now we're agreeing on the Crowes. I
    guess it figures - the USSR is turning around too ... wonder when Hell
    will be opened up for snowboarding ?   8^)
    
    Scary (who's very much into the Crowes these days ..)

    What I really like about these guys is that there are a thousand
    bands like them and the Crows made it.
    It is good,clean R+R and I'm glad they got a contract.
    It's a small shot in the arm for true Rock
    
               Crazy_Al

    I am looking for the lyrics to Twice as Hard. If you have them and
    could send them to AIADM::LEVIN, it would be greatly appreciated.

    AS THE CROWS FLY...
    
    A REAL ROCK BAND WINGS ITS WAY TO THE UPPER REGIONS OF THE CHARTS
             
    Taken without permission from Rolling Stone Magazine, Issue 596,
    January 24.
    
    
    In the lobby fo the paramount hotel, in New York City, it's easy to
    forget the grimy parade of hookers, dope dealers and co men just half a
    block away on Eighth Avenue.  In fact, the Paramount, a ritzy art
    noveau fortress, seems almost *too* clean.  Its smiling Ken-doll
    doormen, angular furnishings and cavernous ceilings lend it a sterile,
    forbidding air.  
    
    The ambience changes markedly, though, on the ninth floor, when Chris
    Robinson - lead singer, lyricist and chief soapbox orator for the Black
    Crowes - opens the door of his suite.  A cloud of incense - amber,
    maybe - swirls around Robinson's gangly frame.  Robinson's girlfriend,
    a stunning blonde, putters around the suite in baggy gray seat pants
    and a lopsided ponytail, tidying things up.  Even Robinson's greeting -
    "You don't mind if we just kind of hang out, do you?" - conveys an
    unguarded warmth.
    
    Robinson collects a tray of shrimp and fresh fruit from room service,
    and settled with is dinner spread out before him, he appears so content
    that it seems cruel to start firing questions at him.  Asked if he'd
    rather the tape recorder remain off until he's finished eating, he
    shrugs.  "It's up to you," he says, smiling.  "But you never know - some
    flash of genius could fly out."
    
    *Fly out*, indeed.  Earlier today, over tea in the hotel's restaurant,
    Robinson's twenty-one-year-old guitarist brother, Rich, the Crowes'
    cofounder, mentioned that the two seldom do interviews together, and
    now it becomes apparent why.  The reserved, younger Rich would never
    get a word in edgewise.
    
    Converstation isn't just a casual undertaking for Chris Robinson.  He
    goes about it with the zeal of an evangelist, raising his voice to make
    points, dropping it to a whisper to underscore them.  He punctuates his
    sentences with long pauses and exaggerated hand gesteures and ends
    nearly all of them with a benevolent smile, as if he were pleased to
    have presented you with that particular idea.  Once Robinson gets
    rolling, it's difficult to shut him up.  Provided, of course, the
    subject is one that intererts him.
    
    "I have a bad reputation right now as far as radio goes," Robinson
    says.  "This radio station got upset that I didn't answer the
    qeustions.  They thought I did it in a snotty way."  He pauses, running
    a hand through his hair.  "I'm twenty-four years old in ten days, and I
    am *not* f*cking *Kip Winger*, okay?  You want to talk about what the
    Black Crowes are about, let's talk.  You want to talk about rock and
    roll, I'll sit there all day, as long as someone's buying the drinks. 
    But don't expect me to be like everybody else.  If you want an amusing
    anecdote, talk to Mark Slaughter.  I'm sure he'll say something like
    'Yeah, we had a couple of lite beers and ran down the hall in the hotel
    in our underwear. Whooooo.'"
    
    During the conversation that follows, Robinson will fearlessly hurl
    barbs at several big-name rockers.  But because the individuals that
    arouse his ire are invariable prefabricated pretty boys or lip-syncing
    buffoons, the opinionated Robinson seems more a crusader for rock and
    roll authenticity than a boasting young whippersnapper.  The worst one
    could say about him is that he seems enviably well adjusted.  (I'm not
    here because I'm lucky," he says, "I'm here because I'm very good at
    what I do.")
    
    Robinson has every right to feel confident, given the Crowes' two-year
    flight from relative obscurity to the upper ranks of the *Billboard* 
    charts.  Chris and Rich Robinson finalized the band's lineup in 1988
    and snagged a record deal a year later.  After the release last
    February of their debut album, *Shake Your Money Maker*, the Crowes
    found themselves in constant demand as an opening act.  And by December
    - propelled by massive airplay for the band's raunchy cover of Otis
    Redding's "Hard to Handle" and the Crowes breakneck touring schedule,
    opening for arena headliners like Heart, Aerosmith and Robert Plant -
    *Sake Your Money Maker* has gone platinum.  Doors, at first glance,
    seemed to have swung wide open for the Black Crowes.
    
    "What do people think - we were a bunch of kids who all of a sudden got
    lucky?" asks Chris.  "F*ck that.  I busted my ass."
    
    The Robinson brothers grew up in Atlanta, getting a home-study course in
    music appreciation from their father, Stan, a musician who enjoyed a
    Top Forty hit ("Boom-a-Dit-Dip") in the Fifties.  Both sons credit
    their knowledge of early blues to the elder Robinson and his diverse
    record collection.  ("I couldn't tie my shoe until I was nine," says
    Chris, "but I knew how to work the stereo".)
    
    In 1984, when Chris was eighteen and Rich fifteen, the brothers made
    their stage debut in Chattanooga, Tennessee, as a punk band called Mr.
    Crowe's Garden.  (Punk, explains Rich, was all they knew how to play at
    that point.  He refuses to divulge the significance of the word
    *crowes*, intimating that to do so would bring swift and horrible
    punishment.)  The fifty-dollar paycheck for that first show bounced. 
    Undaunted, the two continued pestering area club owners for gigs,
    fiddling with their lineup and honing their skills.  After the younger
    Robinson discovered the open-G tuning favored by one of his idols,
    Keith Richards, and drummer Steve Gorman joined the fold, the band
    settled into a swaggering, blues-based groove.  By 1988, when bassist
    Johnny Colt and guitarist Jeff Cease were inaugurated, the Black Crowes
    had a firm handle on their sound.
    
    The typical first reaction to that sound has become a costant source of
    irritation for the Crowes.  The songs on *Shake Your Money Maker* -
    jagged, bloozy barroom stomps; winding, emotional R&B wailers - have
    prompted more than a few critics to dismiss the Crowes as Rolling
    Stones knockoffs.  And Chris Robinson's gutbusting vocals invariable
    draw comparisons to Faces-era Rod Stewart.
    
    "It's bullsh*t," says Rich.  "There's no new music ever, period.  it's
    all an interpretation of music that's come before.  I interpret Keith
    Richards in the same way that Keith Richards interpreted Muddy Waters
    and Chuck Berry.  If anyone's going to accuse us of ripping off the
    Stones, they'd better listen to a couple of Chuck Berry records first."
    
    Another guaranteed feather ruffler is the rofer to the Black Crowes as
    a Southern band, although, technical they are one, barring geography
    and Allman Brothers veteran Chuck Leavell, who supplied keyboards on
    *Shake Your Money Maker*, the Crowes have little in common with rebel
    rockers like the Allmans, Lynyrd Skynyrd or the Georgia Satellites, yet
    many journalists, playing up the good ol' boy angle, insist on invoking
    those names when describing the band.
    
    "I mean, I was born in the South, and I'm very proud of that," says
    Rich.  "But I'm not waving a rebel flag, you know?"
    
    "This guy at MTV got all upset because he read an interview where I
    called Ronnie Van Zant a redneck," adds Chris.  "He goes, 'Ronnie Van
    Zant was a great man.' I said, 'Look, I didn't say he was an *a**hole*, I
    said he was a *redneck*.'"
    
    Stones comparisons and Southern stereotypes notwithstanding, the
    quickest way to induce a stream of vituperative commentary from either
    Robinson is to bring up the current state of rock and roll.  Chris, who
    spends a great deal of time nosing around in record stores, is
    particularly indignant on the subject.
    
    "Don't sit around and complain about how sh*tty the music is if you're
    putting up with it," Chris says.  "Who said that all these bands that
    headline arenas are allowed to go out and sing to backup tapes? 
    Aerosmith did it - I love Aerosmith to death.  I respect 'em, I grew
    up on 'em.  But you *bore* me when you sing to a backup tape.  Heart,
    Robert Plant, they all did it.  If you're an entertainer and you take
    it seriously, you entertain with your natural abilities.  You go onstage
    and take a chance like everyone else.  People say to us, 'Man, I heard
    some bad notes in your set tonight.' Well, f*cking-A *right* you heard
    some bad notes.  You saw a *real* band tonight, *didn't* you?"
    
    Chris pauses, then swoops down on another pet peeve:  "I don't put lots
    of chicks in our videos with their tits hanging out, because *I* can
    sell my band.  What a *novel* f*cking concept.  I mean, I did looking
    at chicks like anyone else, but if you can't be stimulated by what *I*
    do, then I'm not gonna fool you.  You don't like it?  Turn it off. 
    You like it?  Buy the record or wait for the next one.  Come to see us
    when we come to town.  *That's* what it's all about.  That's what rock
    and rool was - not "Well we'll bring in a stylist and bring in Desmond
    Child and Bruce Fairbairn to put a bunch of "oh, yeahs" on your
    record.'
    
    "You know," he says almost sadly, "there *are* people out there who
    really care and who don't call records *product*.  A Pop-Tart is a
    product.  I make music.  I don't want it to be a f*cking *product*, I
    want it to be a piece of your *life*."
    
    Half an hour later, Robinson, temporarily purged of demons, dives into
    a closet and emerges with a rough-hewed wooden crate.  It looks
    suspiciously like it might house a small mummy.
    
    If one where to believe all of the stores about the Black Crowes, the
    concept of Robinson's harboring a bandaged bogyman in his closet
    wouldn't seem farfetched.  Several interviews, perhaps stumped by the
    Crowes' reluctance to serve up tales of female conquest and drunken
    debauchery, have gone beyond the call od duty to entertain their
    readers.  One masterpiece in a well-known rock magazine implied that
    the Crowes were engaging in clandestine voodoo rituals before their
    shows.  Chris says the trouble started when the writer of the piece
    asked him what he was reading, and he happened to be immersed in a tome
    about voodoo.  (Robinson says he typically leans toward Beat novelists
    and "really good pretentious things" by writers like Franz Kafka.)
    During the interview, Chris also casually mentioned the band's habit of
    burning candles onstage and the Tibet human-bone jewelry and gris-gris
    pouches collected by some of the band members.  The finsihed piece made
    much of the band's "voodoo obsessions" and hypothesized that it's "an
    avid fascination with black magic that keeps these Crowes flying."
    
    Chris, who contents that the Crowes' interest in voodoo paraphernalia
    springs from nothing more than a love of the exotic, says he found the
    article funny.  Some, however, didn't find it so comical.  The piece
    spawned a panicky rash of LP-and-concert-ticket bonfires organized by
    alarmed Christian parents in Texas and Virginia.  Naturally, Robinson
    is eager to share his views on *that* sector of society.
    
    "Jesus Christ loved everyone," he says bluntly.  "Jesus Christ probably
    loved *Satan*.  I mean, I don't believe that God and Satan are real, but
    if you're a Christian, then you love *everyone*.  And if you're a
    Christian and you think *I'm* f*cked.... then f*ck *you*."
    
    His frustrations vented, Robinson lowers the box to the floor and
    beings undoing the catches.  And though the object inside does turn out
    to be something that was once alive, it wasn't, sad to say, a human. 
    It was a gourd.
    
    Robinson proudly holds up an elaborately carved, beautifully shaped
    sitar.  Earlier today, he has gone on a hush-hugh shopping expedition
    in Greenwich Village.  The instrument is Chris's surprise Christmas
    present for his brother, who is, by this time, snoozing in his own
    suite down the hall.
    
    "He's going to freak out," says Robinson gleefully.  "There's a side of
    me that wants to go wake him up and say, 'Rich, look what I got for
    you,' You know, because I love him so much.
    
    "Me and Rich are much closer," he says softly.  "We've gotten closer
    this year than we have in a long time."
    
    He takes up the sitar and examines its separate networks of heavy and
    fine strings.  Gingerly he begins to pluck at it, eliciting a
    succession of eerie, keening notes.  "I have no *idea* how to play this
    f*cker," he says finally.
    
    For the briefest of instants, Chris Robinson actually appears to be
    unsure of himself.

    and violins?Or both on the same tape?

     Another great article goddess of F.tedness, thanx. It sounds like the
    Robinson's are two guys after my own heart. As far a A-smith and Tyler
    lip synching, It did not seem that ole Steve lip synched to me all
    though they definitly had samplers in the back ground and the rest of
    the band was playing along with them.

    I think that may be what he meant?  
    
    If so, I agree..  I love Aerosmith to death, but you would think a band
    thats especially been around that long could manage to play a concert
    without taped background music..    IMO...  ?

    Re -1.  Strange you saying that.  MTV Unplugged did Tesla and the Black
    Crowes last week and yes, they did sound rather alike.  Afraid, much
    though I love their music, that Tesla don't sound too good without
    electricity.  The Crowes are marginally better, the singer has more
    punch.

    Okay, I've been too nice a guy lately. It's time for the Cookster

    These guys do a song about some pig trying to pick up someone elses
    girlfriend in a bar and you think they're best new artist? Yeah right.
    Maybe if the guy could actually sing words in English that someone
    could actually understand. These guys are nothing but rehashed blues
    garbage. They are nothing but trash musically, morally, and their

re: Hard To Handle

For those that aren't aware, this is ancover of an old Otis Redding song. It's
been covered by a lot of bands out there, from Memphis Slim to the Grateful
Dead to (now) the Black Crowes. So don't blame them for the lyrics.....

As for best new band, I agree with Kim - there wasn't a whole lot to choose
from this year! These guys may not be the most original band around, but at 
least they're sincere about their rock and roll!

     Alright, I guess it's time for an old f(cker to speak up. Todays word
    boys and girls is diversity. Can you spell, I don't know if I did
    properly. Anyhow I kind of like a little diversity in my music. Mix it
    up a little. I don't know about you all, but if I had to listen to one
    style of music all the time I would grow very weary of it. I like a lil
    acoustic splashed in between the screamin guitars. It's kinda like if
    you had sex everyday you would probably grow tired of it after say
    thirty of forty years.;^) As far as there Crowes are concerned I think
    Alan hit it on the head. Right now at least they seem very sincere
    about their music and I think that is an excellent quality, one that
    may take them far. Plus I gotta like a group whose two founding members
    last name is Robinson.

    	Just picked up "$hake your moneymaker" at my local CD library, it
        does put me in mind of JC Mellonthingy and even some Eagles
    influence, though leaning to the hard side (Tesla, Savatage).  I think
    I could get to like it, so will give it some more listens.  It will
    make a nice change when I want some mellow music instead of HM and
    opera.
    
    It also reminds me of someone else, fairly current with a gravel voice

    Y'all (yes, use of this colloquialism is intentional and not part of my
    regular speaking vocabulary) just need to live in the South or Texas
    for awhile.  I had *no* problem at all understanding the Black Crowes. 
    I have a much easier time catching all of their lyrics then I do with a
    lot of metal bands.

    I can just imagine a *northern* band covering Crowes ... ack !   8^)
    
    Scary (who has no trouble at all figuring out these words ...)

    The Black Crowes, in retrospect, have been on quite a roll!
    
    First out with A-smith, now with ZZ...I bet their next lp will
    push them into headliner status...not too many bands can say that.

     Yeah, I looking forward to seeing the Crowes open for ZZ. I was
    suppose to see them a few months ago, they were opening for Robert
    Plant. The show cancelled unfortunately, soooooo maybe I'll see them
    this time. Sure glad I got a floor tick for this one.:^)

      When I said stuck on himself I didn't mean about his looks. I was
    talking about his attitude - he seemed to come across (with his
    actions) as thinking that he (or the group) is just the gnats-ass of
    r&r. That's part of what led me to be unimpressed. 
    
     As far as what songs they played I really don't remember but they
     definetely didn't play the one currently being overplayed on the

    	I guess Miller Beer is the sponsor or one of them anyway.  At
    	one of the concerts Miller had a huge banner hanging from the
    	top of the scaffolding. The lead singer of the BC's made the
    	comment "brought to you commercial free" or something like
    	that and Miller didn't like it.

    second time I was suppose to see them and they get cancelled out. I was
    suppose to see them open for Robert Plant and that whole show
    cancelled. Now I was suppose to see them with the Top and what happens?
    What a b!tch. Now I'll tell ya what really inhales. They are replacing
    BC's with Michelle Malone and Drag the River. I imagine most of you
    haven't heard of this person. She does they small bar scene in this
    area. Anyhow I am not as fond of her music as BC's. Top better put on

    I heard a quote from Chris Robinson on the radio this morning.  It was
    from the syndicated radio talk show Rockline earlier this week and he
    said he didn't think the Black Crowes would ever do a corporate
    sponsored tour.  He didn't like having yet another entity to have to
    answer to.  Said he only answered to "myself, my brother, family, and
    friends, my music, my girlfriend..."  
    
    While a certain part of me can appreciate his position, it sure sounds
    like he's burning a lot of bridges with comments of that sort.  Seems
    to me that this could limit the band in the future.  I'm not sure I'd
    appreciate him doing that if I were in the band.

    it's legal to sell alcohol, demanded they sell him some, became angry
    when 1) the store employees refused to illegally sell him beer and 2)
    they didn't recognize him, took the beer and forced his way out of the
    store  throwing down a $20 bill which didn't cover the cost of what he
    took.

    B.,SERIOUSLY rolling!

    I went to see the black crowes last thursday and was sadly less than
    impressed with what I saw.Firstly,Chris Robinson's singing was abismal
    and then he starts shouting at certain members of the audience "quit
    starin' at me,have a good time but quit starin' at me".He then procedes
    to pick on a member of the audience and tries to hit them with a
    microphone stand,which is pretty difficult because they are about 20
    feet from the stage.Next thing was to start telling the poor bugger who
    was getting taunted to get "their p*ssy asses outta there before he
    comes down and f*cks them"he then said he was going to f*ck everyone in
    the place(about 2000 people).The finale came when he lept off the stage
    and attacks the punter who was getting all the abuse.Johnny Colt jumps
    off too and the audience member gets thrown out.The rest of the
    audience are *less* than impressed and procede to tell him so.He tries
    to justify his actions but fails dismally.Audience becomes angry mob
    and the band finishes after 1 hour and ten minutes,no encore,nobody
    wanted one.Two final points are 1)the persona he was picking on was a 
    female and 2)I heard from my "sources" that she was paid off to keep
    quiet that came to 5000 pounds(about $8000 or so).Personally,and this
    is just a personal opinion;I would have let the skinny w*nker rot in
    jail.The band played well,the sound got better by the 3rd song but the
    singer is an anorexic dick!

    so THERE!  8^P

    Well I don't agree, Buck.  Yeah, he's a talented guy, but does that
    justify acting like an a$$hole?  Does being talented mean you can act
    like less of a civil human.  He's an entertainer and I don't personally
    think that seeing someone act like a conceited d!ckhead is very
    entertaining.

    This isn't the first story I've heard about him being a total jerk at
    his shows.  I wouldn't go see them now.  He might have me thrown out
    for "staring at him" or some equally stupid thing.  Gee, feature that,
    people go to see a band and actually WATCH them, what a concept.

    well I have to say something here.. its a little of the subject (BUT 
    WHATS NEW, right?? :*) )
    
    as far as talent I can see he has no right to be a jerk!! 
    
    HOWEVER i think he is in a position to tell people if they (the
    audience ) are being jerks... example someone at the show goes from a
    (paid) 14 row seat to 1st row seat.. I love nothing more when someone
    on stage sees this and says showmething about it....
    
    but anyway i also have heard this guys a jerk...

    The best way to deal with someone being a dick is to say something 
    humerous to point out they are being stupid and get everyone on
    your side.I've seen Dave Lee Roth do this twice and both times the
    dick in the crowd has shut up.I don't see how having talent gives

    does talent mean you can assault someone for looking at you

Eyeballs, well some form of balls anyway!

Friz, you really do come out with some over controversial cr@p sometimes.  There
are a lot of talented and knowledgeable people in this conference!  And the 
smiley does not excuse you either!

I saw Robinson and co at Donnington and they inhaled major league!  Talent; not
that you would notice.  In the genre I much prefer The Quireboys I'm afraid.  
And they don't seem to have an attitude!

I will not be buying their next release, if they last that long, so they have
lost one potential fan!

    Yeah, I agree with this.  I think that a good example is the stuff that
    Axl has done with GnR over the past few months.  It didn't seem to hurt
    their album sales for the UYI records, but I've sure heard a lot of
    people slagging them off because of it.

    I don't understand this comment coming from you, Buck.  Haven't you
    repeatedly said that you hate the Rolling Stones?  To me the Black
    Crowes sound *exactly* like the early Stones.
    
    For myself, I really liked the Black Crowes stuff when they first came
    out, but I've gotten a little tired of it.  I think that this is partly
    due to media overexposure and partly due to the fact that they have a
    dated sound which I'm already used to hearing from other bands (and am
    pretty tired of already).  As GAZ (I think) suggested, The Quireboys
    have a kind of similar '60s straight ahead rock and roll sound which I
    like better (for now).  They impart a lot of energy to it!
    
    gh
                                            

    
    If I listen to this type of music I much prefer the Georgia Satellites
    to Black Crowes.

    The crowes *do* sound like early Stones.  And yes, I was a Stones fan
    for quite a long time.  But, as with most bands I follow, I really
    like the early stuff (Up until Black & Blue is great).  Some Girls
    is tolerable in places, and everything since is rubbish!  So, maybe
    that is where my comments stemmed from, but early Stones was great
    stuff...so heavily R&B influenced, but in a newer, fresher (rawer)
    rock format...that is the essence of the Stones sound.

    I don't put the Quireboys or Georgia Satellites in either the same
    category as Black Crowes, OR the same category as each other, musically
    speaking.  The crowes *really* have that heavy, simmering R&B groove
    thing DOWN, and with Robinson's vocal style, which is long on blue
    notes, they really pull away from the Quireboys, which are far more
    mainstream R&R imho (closer to Led Zep than, say, muddy waters!). 
    Georgia Satellies in a different world all-together...fusing
    southern-flavored hard rock with the blues.

There are too many people in the music business with an attitude problem.  I
expect people to be like that and am pleasantly surprised when they are not.

I think that Chris Robinson has a problem if he singles out a fan, and would be
plenty pissed off if it was me.  I think being on the road took its toll and
they had a bad night.  He didn't bean the girl on the head with a bottle did
he?  They need to grow up a little.

I like the Crowes and listen to them a lot.  Almost every song on their album
has a catchy little groove to it.  They can be loose and boogie around with a
new song and still keep people interested.  They did it at the Centrum warming
up for ZZ Top.  I wished they played longer - I didn't care they were playing
new stuff.

Chris is an avid record collector and I think that the success of the Crowes is
because they are fans of many kinds of music.

Tim

    I haven't read *all* the replies concerning Chris's outburst, but I
    don't think *ANY* artist has the right to be a jerk just because he's
    famous or in the public's eye.  
    
    It's not professional, and I know I would have been MEGA pissed if I
    had gone to a concert where the group I payed $20 (plus a T shirt, I'm
    sure ...) to see showed their ass like a bunch of juvenile delinquents.
    
    I'll buy the CD ... buy my T shirt at a record store ... forget the
    concert ...
    
    Scary

      You people are blowing this WAY out of preportion!!!!!
    
                It's was probably just a publicity stunt......
    
           Axl did the same damn thing when I saw G & R!!!
    
               It's all so pre-planned.....
    
             They might lose a few fans but probably gain alot more through
     word of mouth about it.
    
            Remember: Bad publicity is better for a R&R band anyway!
    
       Example:Do you ever see Joe Rock Star on the cover of the paper if
    he does a charity concert?.....NO!
             But Chris make the papers big-time when he spits and cusses.
    
          Rock and Roll is suppose to be down,dirty and mean!!!!
     So everybody:  PULL YOUR HEADS OUT.
    
                 Personally, I love it!!!!!

    practicing Musician.

                  Frizkid
    

    what i was getting at was,why should one person stifle another persons
    creativity??I don't exactly care for country music either but if the
    music worked well and sounded good then do it.Wolfbane recently did a
    country kind of song on their last album and it was tremendous!!As for
    the wanker statement that is solely reserved for Chris Robinson,who is
    indeed a wanker of the highest calibre.I still like some of their music
    but all respect has gone straight out of the window.
    
    
                                                 Staynz

    The Black Crowes are tracking songs for an album slated for late
    summer.
                  Frizkid
    

    I saw a segement with them on MTV's news show not long ago where they
    were talking about the new album.  Chris Robinson says this is the
    album they always wanted to make, but they had to make the first one
    the way they did so they could be able to do this one.  
    
    Might be interesting, who knows?
    
    gh

Two points of interest about these guys.

Chris Robinson said that the guitarist the left the band was not fired for
"artistic differences", he was fired because he couldn't play with Rich
Robinson.  He called the ex-guitarist a casualty.

The video for Remedy was on tonight.  I like this song more each time I
hear it.  I want to catch these guys again when they come through here.

Tim

    I like the backing vocals on Remedy done by the 2 coloured wimmen but
    as for the rest...............lame!
    
    
                                               Staynz

     Sheezz...Staynz! That song has groove from hell! You're just bias
    becuase they had one bad show at your town!
    
          Uncle Frizkid...Proud of his Hippo sister and daughter too! 8)
    

    Au contraire........I like some of their stuff and the lead singer
    behaves like a prime idiot and I genuinely don't like the new song!
    
    
                                               Uncle Staynz

    Well, I'm with Uncle Staynez on this one, I'm afraid.  I just can't get
    into that "Remedy" song.  I've heard it several times now on the radio
    and thought it would grow on me, but it hasn't.  Oh well, I imagine
    there's better stuff on the rest of the album.
    
    gh

I *love* the new song!!! 

It's right out of the Humble Pie book of songwriting. Sounds like it would
fit perfect on that band's 'Rocking The Fillmore' album!

I'm with you Alan and Friz.  To each their own I guess.

Tim

    
    
    I think its a great tune too!  I didn't like too much off of the first
    album either, what I heard of it on the radio anyway.

    So what do you think Scary?
    
              Frizkid
    

    Gotta burn it in some more.  But after 2 times through, it seems less
    rowdy than the first one.   Some great grooves, no doubt, and I can
    already hear more radio material.  There's a good bit of B3 and piano
    in it, as well as the female background singers.  Very bluesy.
    
    For now, I'll give it 2 thumbs up ... given a day or 2, I'm sure
    the other one will follow ...
    
    Jerry

    Is a"B3"an Organ/Snyth?
    
              Crazy_curious_Al

> Is a"B3"an Organ/Snyth?

A "B3" refers to a Hammond B3 organ, the preferred keyboard for most rockers
in the 60s and 70s (reference Jon Lord in Deep Purple).

alan

    It kind of reminded me of Zeppelin organs. I like it....
    
    I think the album was made on some very mind altering drugs. 8)
    
             Did you hear the part right before Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye?
    Chris says " B & B with a little weed"
    
          Frizkid
    

    
    I heard one of the songs of the release today. Sounds better than  the
    first stuff they put out, to me.

    During that interview I heard, Chris admitted that they got
    "comfortable" while they were making the album.  Also, one of the
    backup singers couldn't deal with the "relaxed style" in which these
    guys chose to record, so she left the studio !  Hmmmm ...
    
    I'm listening to it right now - it's getting better with every listen.
    
    
    Jerry

    I'm lovin' it more each time I listen to it....
    
         Frizkid
    

    I've gotta get this!

    Yes you do !  The more I listen to it, the deeper the groove gets.
    
    Jerry

    I heard Chris on BCN last night and just from what he said about music
    he likes, the way he likes to relax, and his all around craziness....I
    like these guys (which was not my 1st impression) I heard the Blue Eyes
    tune, really good groove....wish I caould remember the line he used for
    Butt kissing people, damn funny guy ! anyone else hear this ?
    
    Chris

    I think the first line of the first song on the CD (Sting Me) sums it
    all up ...

The Black Crowes will be playing on the tonight show some night this week.  I
know it's not tonight as Simply Red is on.

Tim

Does anyone know if these guys are touring?  Where/when etc.?

didn't see anything in the recent previous notes.

(I assume the lastest CD is worth a purchase, from the views in here. I
know I've liked the popular stuff played a lot anyhow.)

-andy

The new CD is worth getting but it the two songs that have hit the radio:
Remedy and Sting Me are unlike the rest of the cd which is more bluesy(?).

I have been waiting for tour info also.  I heard a radio station saying they
were giving away tickets for a bunch of shows GnR, U2, Sprinsteen, Black Crowes.
I haven't heard of any dates in MA for the BCs...

I heard they would start a tour in late summer.

Tim

    They will be at the Boston Orphium on Saturday,August 29th.
    Tix go on sale this Saturday.

I've already got PLANS for saturday...

Hmm, how am I gonna explain this one to the 'ole ball-and-chain.

"Babe, got some tix to the Black Crowes!!  What, you don't want to go?
Hmm, I just assumed you would.  Guess I'll just go with someone else then.
Any problems with that?"  <thwack!>  "Hey hey, put that fargin' thing down

From: clarinews@clarinet.com 
	(PENNY NELSON BARTHOLOMEW, UPI Broadcast Features Editor)
Subject: The Black Crowes: the apathetic need not listen.
Date: Fri, 7 Aug 92 13:28:05 PDT

UPI Arts and Entertainment
	CHICAGO (UPI) -- Black Crowes lead singer Chris Robinson said he and
his fellow Crowes considered putting a sticker on the outside of their
latest album, ``The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion.'' That
sticker would have read: ``Within Contains No Apathy.''
	And Robinson, 25, said the meaning is pretty self-explanatory. ``We
have lives and apathy's not part of it and it's not part of our music,''
he said in an interview with UPI.
	Fans certainly haven't been apathetic about the Crowes' follow-up to
its 1990 debut album ``Shake Your Money Maker.'' The LP debuted on the
Billboard Top-200 albums chart at No. 1 last May and has since gone
platinum. It yielded two No. 1 singles -- ``Remedy'' and ``Sting Me.''
	Pretty good for an Atlanta-based, blues-tinged, Southern rock band
that was thrown off the Z.Z Top tour last year for expressing its
beliefs.
	The Black Crowes was the opening act for Z.Z Top when Robinson, an
outspoken critic of commercial sponsorship of the arts, decided to give
voice to that opposition. The concert tour's sponsor, a major brewery,
did not appreciate his negative comments about a beer company sponsoring
a rock tour. The Crowes were forced to take wing.
	``We think there's more to this whole thing than money, and I'm not
going to let money dictate how I behave, especially as an artist,'' said
Robinson during the group's recent appearance in Chicago. He said he
objected to becoming ``a piece of ass for Corporate America to latch
itself onto because some guy wants to hang out backstage at a gig
sometimes.''
	Robinson believes such sponsorship turns music into ``a service-
oriented industry'' and interferes with freedom of expression. ``I don't
need anybody else's name on my poster. If you've got to have that, then
maybe you shouldn't be out there,'' he said.
	The Black Crowes consists of Robinson, his younger brother, Rich, 23,
as well as bassist Johnny Colt, drummer Steve Gorman and guitarist Marc
Ford, who's new to the group and formerly played with Burning Tree. The
Robinson brothers wrote the nine original tracks on ``The Southern
Harmony and Musical Companion,'' which also includes a cover of Bob
Marley's ``Time Will Tell.''
	Robinson said the album was ``really kind of put together...in a
couple of weekends'' and was recorded in eight days in the group's
hometown of Atlanta. No high-tech digital equipment for these guys; the
Crowes used analog gear to record, which Robinson said allows for ``tape
hiss and sounds that are real.''
	The difference between ``Shake Your Money Maker'' and ``The Southern
Harmony and Musical Companion,'' Robinson said, is an ``immaturing
process.'' He said he and Rich went ``back to our foundations as to what
we want to do as musicians.''
	``And there's a different picture on the cover,'' he laughed.
	Robinson feels the Crowes need to get about five or six albums under
its belt before the group can be judged as to what it's all about. 
``With five or six records, there's more of a tapestry of songs that we
can look at and say what's a maturing process and what's not,'' he said.
	Following the group's first sold-out tour of Japan and Australia
earlier this year, the Black Crowes launched its ``High As The Moon''
North American road trip July 24 in Minneapolis.
	Following the first night's concert, the band's strength of
conviction got Colt in trouble when he came to the aid of a drunken fan
who he thought was being handled a bit too roughly by police. He was
arrested, charged with obstruction of justice, and had to pay a fine.
	No one seems to know how long the current tour will last, although
it's slated to run at least through 1993. The Crowes' previous tour
lasted 19 months and included 350 shows to more than 5 million people. 
``I guess it's over when someone says, 'Are you going home?''' Robinson
said.

    The Black Crowes were superb as they played the first of three sold
    out shows last night at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston.  Their raw
    talent, artfully-crafted songs, creative staging/lighting, and the
    ever-manic stage presence of Chris Robinson made for one of the best
    rock and roll shows in recent memory.  And they did it without the
    bravado, backup singers/musicians, and blow-up dolls used by other
    "super talents" such as the Rolling Stones and Guns N' Roses.  They
    infuse integrit and honesty into a rock n' roll world tarnished by
    corporate sponsorships and garish, overblown stage shows.  They are
    a must see.
    
    Their motto for the evening was, "Save Us - No Narcs." 
    Anti-establishment as ever, they backup their rebelliousness with
    intelligence and a subtle sense of musicality.  Their drummer, Steve
    Gorman, is truly one of the best in the business.  Chris Robinson's
    voice is strong and clear in concert and he hit all the high notes and
    then some... can the same be said for (I hate to say it) Axl Rose?  The
    new guitar player adds depth to the band; Rich R. and bassist Jonny
    Colt round out the most solid rhythm section since the Phil Rudd AC/DC
    days; and Ed Hawryshch on keys was funky, loose, yet never overplays
    a number.
    
    IMHO, the Crowes are the best thing to happen to rock n' roll in years.
    Watch for a new number, "The Fear Years", which was one of the best
    songs performed last night.
    Sister_t.

Sounds like an awesome show.  I read about it in today's Globe and the
review somewhere else in this file seemed to agree.  I saw them warm up for
ZZTop and they were excellent.

Buck, have you seen 'em yet?  If so how were your seats?

    Timbo,

    Did they have those nets of lights from the Ceilin?
    How many people were Wearin Crushed_Velvet_Suits?  :-)
    
         Crazy_Fightin_Off_His_Angels_And_Devils_AL
    

    Al_b_sure_you_were_missed, because the Crowes crowd was completely
    devoid of any CR_look_a_likes wearing crushed velvet bellbottoms...
    I wuz kinda bummed out, cause you gotta wonder to what degree the 
    Boston "college crowd" can really appreciate the artistry of the
    Crowes and the whimsical, long-lost era that they represent.  For
    example, everyone went nuts when they played "Hard to Handle" and
    Chris R. *tried* to remind the audience that the credit and the roots
    really belong to people like Otis Redding... but you gotta wonder how
    many heads that (and several of his other, more conceptual statements)
    went sailing right over.
    
    I saw one woman wearing crushed velvet pants and a few others who
    looked liked they had a clue, but by and large, the red-necked, 
    beer-guzzling, joe_average_concert_goer prevailed.
    
    Yes, they had their signature nets of lights on stage, both in back of
    the band and as curtains in front of them.  And of course, the stage
    was covered with oriental rugs so CR could go barefoot.
    Sister_t.

    Bollocks.
    

    Saw them Monday night -- GREAT show ... best concert ins years.

    Well, nothing is authentic so who cares if they sound like The Faces?
    Must check them out.
    
    barry                          

    I'm surprised that nobody mentioned seeing the Crowes on SNL 2 weeks
    ago.  They were decent.  I think their first guitar player had a cooler
    style then the new dude.
    
    gh

What did they do?  My cable went out due to the storm and I couldn't get
NBC that night.

Tim

>What did they do?  My cable went out due to the storm and I couldn't get
>NBC that night.
    
    Sorry, I don't know the song titles.  It was two new songs, not from
    the first album.  I don't have the new album, so I don't know the
    songs.
    
    gh

    The Black Crowes are about to embark on the 1993 leg of their "High as
    the Moon" tour.  The tour will basically be the same as the 1992
    leg, with the stage consisting only of amps, drums, and oriental rugs.
    They will have the light blub/christmas lights light show, but Chris
    Robinson said "there will be more of it this time around".
    
    The BC's have also introduced a special "Anti Scalping" ticket policy
    for this tour.  It will work something like this -- you purchase the
    tickets, and you get a voucher, which you sign with your name.  When
    you go to the show, you show the voucher with a picture ID, and then
    you sign you name again.  Signatures and photo ID's have to match.
    The Crowes experimented with this policy on a few shows during the 
    1992 leg of the tour, and it wsa very successful, and without a lot
    of hassle.  The hassle is on the venue, NOT the ticket buyer.  Chris
    Robinson was pissed at hearing about Crowes fans paying $200 - $300
    for tickets down front, now he says "the seats will go to those who 
    wait in line for em, just like the old days".  The crowes will
    continue to play 2,000 - 3,000 seat theaters on this tour, which also
    aids in the special ticket policy working.
    
    Also in effect this tour will be a special "security" policy.  Chris
    Robinson had to stop their show several times during the 1992 leg
    for security harrassing Crowes fans.  The BC's want their shows more
    like the Grateful Deads -- where people can dance, sing, do what they
    want, and not have to worry about Security roughing them up, or 
    causing a scene.  The BC's will have two of their own security gaurds
    in the audience to keep the OTHER security gaurds in line of the 
    Crowes policy!!

    Do you know some of the Ststes they'll be playin at???

    They Didn't_Say, but from what I read, my guess is All_Over the place.

    
    They must be selling out. I mean, this is their second straight year of
    touring. Soakin' the American public for more money.
    
    

    Don't forget that they"re playin small places,Chris..
    I know you're just lookin for trouble   ,_)

    
    That's because they can't sell-out Arenas.
    
    

    Chris, put a sock in it, ok?  The Crowes set several house records
    on the 1992 leg of their "High as the Moon" tour, and was written
    up in Amusement Business as one of the hottest bands around, in
    terms of ability to draw, and gross ticket sales.  They don't say that
    about everyone, so can it.
    
    
    FWIW -- Wildside played a dismal gig in IL last week ... they only made
    $9,425 for the gig, selling 788 tickets in a club which seats 1,500.
    Can you say they've made the big time, I think not...
    
    PS - The Megadeth/Stone Temple Pilots shows continue to rake in big
    bucks around the country.

When the Crowes played before ZZTop at the Centrum they could have played 2
hours.  The crowd was really into them.

Not like that warmup band at Foxboro that played before GnR...

Tim

    The crowes are playing theaters instead of arenas for intimacy.
    Another reason Chris Robinson was so insistant on the "anti
    scalping" policy was he wants to look out and see 20 rows of
    die-hard crowes fans, not 10 rows of "people who got tickets 
    from the record company or whatever, and just showed up and 
    don't even know the band".  Look at it where this band is coming
    from -- they want to be in touch with their audience!

    
    I'm just kiddin' jesus, stop bein' babies. Do you hear me sayin' "Put a
    sock in it" after listening to 100 replies of Metallica/Iron Maiden
    bashing.
    
    Get a sense of humor.
    
    

    
    
    
    I'm not really into the BC.. could care less where they play or
    when.. but I will give them credit for being in touch with their
    fans. 2 thumbs up! 
    
    

    Chris is just mad cuz Nuno is off touring Europe and he has noone to
    invite over for dinner!

    
    Yup. And he didn't even tell me when he'd be back!
    
    
    Good Thing Joe Perry is stoppin' by next week.
    
    
    

    >Good Thing Joe Perry is stoppin' by next week.
    
    Well, if he isn't available, call Mark Ferrari -- he looks just
    like Nuno and Joe!

>Do you hear me sayin' "Put a
>    sock in it" after listening to 100 replies of Metallica/Iron Maiden
>    bashing.
    
    Ah, but see...the difference is that Metallica ('o the "rip off the
    fans" club) and Iron Maiden ('o the Tar Pits) DESERVE it!
                         
    ...and stop callin Buck "Jesus".  Jesus'd be MAD!
    
    gh

    >...and stop callin Buck "Jesus".  Jesus'd be MAD!
    
    Hardly -- last time we talked, he said "you know Buck, we in the
    Trinity often remark 'damn, I wish we had never misplaced that Buck
    mold...that one turned out great!'"
    
    So thair!

Saw Chris Robinson on MTV news last night talking about the free show they
did in Houston Saturday to make up for the problem they had there with
security.  They brought in their own people to run security on the
security.

They filmed the show and the next video Black Heart Blue Eyes Goodbye will
use the footage.

Not sure I like Chris' black eyeliner and blue lips thooooo...

    Ken,When My Terminal Screws_Up and Spits out"Yiddish"I think of

    I see it now....

    So Did I..Put that Modem Acts_Up now and then..

    Error correction roolz...

    Just say no to Yiddish!
                           Rat

    
    
    no..

    I really like Chris Robinson's attitude...
    
    He recently stopped a show to yell at some punks moshing in the
    front rows, exclaiming "look, if you're too wasted, go home and
    deal with it there, but don't make everyone else suffer for it!"
    8^)
    
    (now, wtf would mosh at a BC's show?!?)
    
    The Crowes also just did a FREE concert in Houston to make up for the
    fact that the last time they were in that city, Security really
    harrassed their fans, and kicked a LOT of them out of the show for
    dancing, etc.  The Crowes had their security in place for the show 
    to police the hall security...

    
    
    Who would mosh at a BC show? probably the same people that would
    mosh at a Dream Theatre show! 
    
    Why can't I picture him saying to OTHER people "Look, if you're too
    wasted, go home.."????
    
    Wpose-

>    Why can't I picture him saying to OTHER people "Look, if you're too
>    wasted, go home.."????
    
    Probably slurred his words as he said it.
    
    "Like.....mmm...mmm...maintain, mmman!"
    
    gh

I think his exact words were:

If you're as bad off as me - go home...


Timbo

    "Johnny can't be out there to hold YOU up, so get yer *ss on home,
    maaaan"

    >>  Who would mosh at a BC show? probably the same people that would
    >>  mosh at a Dream Theatre show!
    
    I was thinking the same thing....
    
    >> Security really harrassed their fans, and kicked a LOT of them out of
    >> the show  for dancing, etc.  The Crowes had their security in place 
    >> for the show to police the hall security...                             
    
    When the Black Crowes thought of bringing their own security, they said
    they wanted it to be more like a Dead show....and it seems to me it's
    for more reasons than dancing if you know what I mean....  :):):)
    
    :), d 

    Tix for a Show at the"New_Aud" go on said this Satur_Day.

    In my stockings or on my stockings ?

    
    	Hi,
    
    	heard a song this morning on the radio, sung by a man and a woman,
    	something like: 
    
    	"I need REMEDYyyyiii...Re-..me..-..dy.."
    	->guitar: oiiink..sploink...quiiiioonk....
    
    	Question is: wasn't that a song by the BCs? and on what album
    	is it?
    
    	Thankssss
    
    	...SJ...
    	

It's on their second album, Southern Harmony and Musical Companion

    
    	Ok, I bought that album and when scanning through their CDs, saw
    	that 'Southern Harmony and Musical Companion' exists actually 
    	_two_ times. Once as a single album with all the studio recording 
    	and then as a double album with an additional live CD (4 tracks, 
    	35 min.). Now, the price was the same, guess what I took?
    
    	The same thing was true for Pearl Jam's 'TEN'. The difference was
        that this was a single CD in both cases, one time with 10 studio 
    	tracks and then with four more life tracks. 
    
    	Do they do this in other countries as well? And why do they do
    	it at all? Of course they want to sell as many albums as possible
    	but who would buy an album _only_ because those additional life
    	tracks? The smaller albums (with 10 tracks) must be lying in the
    	stores like lead after they published the album with the life
    	tracks. And, can you name more albums where this occured?
    
    	weird...
    
    	...SJ...
    	

    To Answer your Question with A Question.....
    What Are the Live Songs on the Crowes Album and where were they
    Recoded??

    
    	One song is 'Remedy' and another is 'Jealous again', the other two
    	I don't remember right now but could look this up. They are on the
    	studio CD as well. The life songs were recorded on February 23rd
    	(?) this year in Houston.
    
    	...SJ...

Not February 6?  That's they did the free concert in Houston and broadcasted it
over the radio.

Tim

    
    	You are right Tim, I wasn't sure about the date...
    
    	...SJ...
    

    I have to say that I was pretty hacked off about the extra live tracks
    on the Black Crowes album - here in the UK I bought the album when it
    came out, as I'm sure did all the dedicated Crowes fans - I'm not a
    major fan but thought it was a superb album and well worth the money -
    can't remember how long ago it was when it came out, but this month its
    just appeared again with the extra tracks - I certainly won't be
    shelling out another 13 pounds for this, but all the fans will probably
    want the extra stuff anfd have to fork out twice.
    
    This also happened to me with the Living Colour LP Times Up - as a fan,
    I bought it on the day of release, only to find that a few months later
    (after one of the singles had shifted some units) it was being pressed
    up with extra tracks (live and remixes) et al.
    
    Major bummer, this, but I've come to expect this sort of marketing ploy
    from record companies.
    
    
    Andy

	I felt the same way about the extra disc inside, but they are also
	sellling the disc as a CD4 so you don't have to shell out the whole
	amount.

    Anyone see 'em on Letterman last week?  I thought they sucked!

    WHEN'S THE NEW ALBUM BUCK?!?!?  ARE THEY GOING TO HAVE ANYTHING LIKE
    SILENT LUCIDITY ON THIS ONE?  THAT SONG RULES!!!
    
    

    The new album is released Oct 4th, now shut up!!!

    I thought they kicked A$$ on Letterman!  They sounded great!
    
    

    What did you like about it, Ken?  I thought they were sloppy, mostly
    outta tune, and just generally poor.  Chris Robinson's voice sounded
    shot.

    Fair enough, I suppose.  It could apply to some bands I like, but those
    bands sound that way intentionally.  (Incidentally, I don't include
    Rollins Band in that description.  Just 'cause someone can't really
    sing and screams a lot doesn't mean his voice is shot.  The band is
    tight.)
    
    The Crowes just don't seem to have that spark they used to have.  I can
    live with all the things I complained about, but I guess my real
    complaint is about something less tangible.
    
    Greg
                                            

    Oh yeah, and...for the record, I don't "really dig" L7.  They're ok
    sometimes, but aren't primary listening material for me.  Frankly, all
    their songs sound alike to me.
    
    Greg

    Greg, 
    
    I though Chris Robinson's voice sounded fine.  If it sounded scratchy or
    harsh, maybe I didn't notice because he was singing a Joe Cocker song!
    
    I thought the guitars sounded good too.   I taped it, but haven't
    watched it since.... maybe I'll watch the tape and refresh my memory.

    Sleepless in Woodland Park

    Well, I watched it again, and they were as good as I thought they were
    the first time!   His voice might have been a little weak, but it also
    sounded like they could have turned up the mike a little bit.
    
    |KS
    

    Huh!  Musta just been me, wish I could watch it again now to see why I
    thought that.  Did they do more then one song?  I only heard one.
    
    Greg

    No, just that song "Feeling Alright" that Joe Cocker does (don't know
    if he wrote it).
    
    

    I think it was a cover for Cocker too.  I don't remember the original
    artist though.

    Hey Greg and _Al ... I'll play moderator...

    
    had the album a week now.....it's certainly not as instant as either of
    the first 2 and on first listening you couldn't pick a track that would
    big a big sellng single. It's a real grower though and the more you
    listen the better it gets.....it could be their best yet.

..of a song of the new album. The singer sported heavy make up, looking
like Gene Simmons kid brother. Awful song, bad video. Come to think of

         Crazy_Jubilee_Al

    >Any_Body get into The WAAF Crowe's Show??
    
    First and foremost, it wasn't AAR's show!!  'BCN had the 'nod from
    the Crowes to get top billing for the show, and they had the most
    "tickets" available for selling.  The Paradise holds 650 people --
    150 tickets were divided up amongst BCN, AAF, and CGY, with the
    vast majority going to BCN and _very few_ (we're talking like a 
    dozen each) to the other two stations.  Yes, doesn't take a rocket
    scientist to figure out that only 500 people in line got in to see
    the show!
    
    BTW, Terri made it in.  She said it was a great show, but WAY too loud.

    Bob Mentioned in"Mutterins"that he thought that the Crowes Sounded
    A_Lot like Raging Slab.Now All I know about Raging_Slab is that
    Vidio/Song about"Get yer Rocks Off,Get yer Rocks Off Baby"...
    and EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww......
    That looked like A_Band who wanted to be like the Crowes 5_Years ago.
    I don't know what the Slabs are about but I'd Surmise that they were
    Tryin to Impersonate/Intimadate the Crowes.I have no idea if both
    Groups being on the same Lable has Any_Thang to do with it...
    But I wouldn't be Surprized if it does.
    
     Any_Who..The Crowes Admit to Borrowin from many styles..But the
    Raging Slabs are not One of them.
    
        Crazy_No_A_Slab_Fan_Al

    Al
    
    Raging Slab didn't sing "get yer rocks off" it was a Scottish band
    called Primal Scream.Raging Slab did "bend for silver" and a few others
    that I'm sure Shawn Labounty could tell you about!
    
    
    
    					ian

    I'm Sorry All.Thanx fer Correctin Me,Ian.
    

    Raging slab did that song that had Gary Coleman in the video.
    
    And as far as *my* ears can hear, Raging slab sound NOTHING like the
    Black Crowes!

    	Maybe its just the one song. Everytime the BlackCrow song comes
    on (don't even know the name of it, but its the newest single) I
    instantly think R.Slab (something like Shoot the Weatherman Down)
    same bluesy rock thing. I don't really think the other songs sound
    alike, because if they did, I would hate Raging Slab ALMOST as much
    as I hate the Black Crows.
    
    	What about Peter Frampton's latest two singles, does anyone
    else think they sound like David Lee Roth???
    
    Bob

    That's funny, because I think the Black Crowes and Raging Slab sound
    alike, too.  I've only heard 'Dynamite Monster Boogie Concert', but
    I've heard all the Crowes stuff, and I think they're very similar.
    The singers have a similar style, and they both play southern-type
    rock.  I like both bands, but I think Raging Slab is a _far_ more
    talented bunch.
    
    IMHO of course.

    	Check out the self-titled album ... it really rocks!!  And listen
    	for the timing changes, which IMO sets them apart from almost every

    	I have never liked the Crows, (except their first two singles)
    their newest song is getting over-killed (Good Fryday) but I didn't
    like it the first time I heard and I still don't like it the 1
    Billionith time I've heard it. Too Slow, I guess...Its kinda weird,
    because I think they sound like Raging Slab, and I really like the
    Slab...Must be that 64 lbs singer that annoys me...Hopefully they
    will have a couple ok rock-tunes, but from what I've heard so far,
    it won't be added to my collection...JMO though...

    	Al, if you remember correctly, something similar happened
    	when STP played there.  They ended up going to court over
    	the onslaught.  That's why I was surprised the club was going
    	to try the concert thing again.
    

    I Was There,Judy.
