758.0. "Bands changing, for better or worse" by WLDWST::EDWARDS () Thu Apr 25 1991 05:29

       I would like to open this to a discussion on how bands have 
    changed over the years, and was it for the better, or for the
    worse.  
       When I think of some of the bands that started with a heavy sound 
    and have changed into a glam rock act, it makes wonder if there will
    be real quality in the near future.  What do you think ?
    
    Some that come to mind:
    
    Motley Crue:  Motley Crue  (Leather Records),  Now.
    
    Van Halen  ?
    
    Just to get the ball rollin.

    Metallica rules over everybody forever!
    
    No matter how they change they're still the best.
758.14Trying to stay on the subject.COMET::FRISBYAI'll leave the morning afterTue Dec 31 1991 14:508
    So are you saying FireHouse is boring?
    
      And warrant is boring?
    
            Are you guys on dope? 8)
    
       Frizkid
    
758.15MRVAX::CESCOBARDon't Wanna Die, Just Wanna LiveTue Dec 31 1991 15:046
    
    I hope you're not comparing Warrant to Metallica on the borality scale.
    
    
    
    
758.16GOES11::G_HOUSETommy The CatTue Dec 31 1991 15:591
    I personally think Metallica went downhill BAD with this new album...
758.17XCUSME::JENNISONWont See What Might Have BeenTue Dec 31 1991 15:592
    
    NO! I love Firehouse~!!! something to say... 8)
758.18Nothing else matters is ZZZ too. IMNSHO.COMET::FRISBYAI'll leave the morning afterTue Dec 31 1991 16:3212
    SueJ: Cool!
    
    Greg: Agreed....
    
    Chris:Why yes..These are Warrant pants I'm wearing. Warrant is ANYTHING
    but boring. If you've ever seen them live you'd know what I was talking
    about.  And yes...I do think "THE UNFORGIVEN" does get boring after a 
     few listens. Don't even get me started on the video.
    What a snoozer! But that is my opinion.
    
                Frizkid
    
758.19MRVAX::CESCOBARLiving My Life On Borrowed TimeTue Dec 31 1991 16:377
    
    ahhh contrary to your opinion many like the video...as a matter of fact
    it was number one on MTV's Most Wanted yesterday. It hasn't left the
    top 5 for so long. Where was warrant...top 500 maybe....
    
    
    Chris
758.20LACV01::BUCHANANLife should have a soundtrackTue Dec 31 1991 16:374
    I really like the song, but I gotta agree with Friz.  The Unforgiven
    video gets unforgivable after a couple of looks.
    
    BJ
758.21HUH? HUH? What does it mean?COMET::FRISBYAI'll leave the morning afterTue Dec 31 1991 16:4417
    I liked the song too before it got played over and over.
        Chris...If your such a freakin' Metallica fan then tell me this:
    
     What in the hell is that video suppose to mean? (Besides ZZZZZ)
    
     Warrant had some videos at #1....Their album has been out to long to
    still be #1.
    
       Now...Let's see Metallica beat out "Home Sweet Home"'s record.
    Then I'll be impressed.
    
         Personally...I liked Metallica better when they were thrashin'
    like mad. This ballad stuff from them is lame. His voice just doesn't
    have it for ballads.

    Chris, could you send it to me to?  ...or if you've already typed it
    in, and sent it to Friz, Friz could you forward it to me?  I'd like to
    know what it's about too.

    much typing... ;')

    Chris....Why don't you post it in here. I think it would be a cool
    topic to discuss.  Plus, Ken Swanson has some good points.
               Frizkid...If metallica is the gospel...I'll goto H_M hell.

    	Hey what about the Village People?  I heard on the
    	radio that they're performing in a club in Boston
    	sometime this weekend......I didn't even think
    	they were still around!  ack!
    
    
758.49Y.M.C.A.CAVLRY::BUCKRe-build the Rye AeroplaneThu Jan 02 1992 18:2016
    The Village People still are around.  I saw them a year ago doing a 
    gig on Ogunquit Beach (talk about a wild gig...woah!), and then I
    heard from a musician friend that they were playing a wedding and
    had to share the bill/their PA system with the VP!
    
    I think some of the members have changed (The original Indian, Cowboy,
    and Disco Queen are gone, and have been replaced...the Leatherman,
    Motorcycle Cop, and Construction Worker are the same), but the band
    still forges on.  Gawd, do you think a Disco revival is around the
    corner?!

    It may not be a joke.  Some record company is now advertising a
    ?-record set of the best disco songs.

    	Dee-Lite isn't disco, it's garbage.
    
    	I was serious about a disco revival ... I loved that stuff!!  Any-
    	thing from the Bee Gees to Donna Summer and The Village People ...
    	most of it was great!!
