634.0. "The Scream" by COMET::FRISBYA (I never said I loved you) Wed Dec 11 1991 14:31

    Does anybody know anything this new group I've been hearing on the
    radio called "The Scream"?
       The first single is called "The man on the moon".
     I guess it's either 1 or 2 members from RACER X.....
         If so I'll buy it!!!
         
           I'm also going to see them next Thursday at Rack and Roll
    because the owner gave Paris Burning free tickets.....

    	I reckon they're not to be confused with a defuncted (?) DC-core 
    	band called Scream with former member Dave Grohl from Nirvana.

    From what I've heard about this band,its 2 members from the Racer X
    line up;Bruce Brioullet(sp) and John Alderete.I don't know who the
    other 2 dudes are but all in all the single "man in the moon" is "ok",
    nothing spectacular.

        I was very dissappointed...........
    
     Couple good songs but for the most part boring.
    
         I guess nothing quite stands up to RACER X...

634.24wanna be!CAVLRY::BUCKStay with me tonight...Thu Jan 09 1992 11:507
    I read someting about Bruce Buillet, Ex guitarist for Racer X, in a
    guitar rag mag.  he talked about The Scream, and what it is all about. 
    Fwiw, he looks like a cross between Slash (head 2 toe black leather,
    with gibson les paul guitar) and Axl (long reddish brown hair, tied in
    bandana).  He says the music sounds more like Led Zeppelin than Racer X.
    
    Hmm, sounds like Bruce is trying to jump on the GnR bandwagon!!
634.25Let it SCREAM!COMET::FRISBYASweet CheaterThu Jan 09 1992 13:439
    Buck....Nothing could be farther from the truth. The SCREAM is NOTHING
    like G&R.(Or Zeppelin for that matter)  What's funny is at the show all
    the local shredders showed up to see his licks.....He didn't play one
    fast lick. I love it.  I like fast solos but I HATE shredder attitude!
    
        The singer is a Steven Tyler wanna be though....
    
                      Frizkid...Who likes most of the stuff.
    
634.26CAVLRY::BUCKStay with me tonight...Thu Jan 09 1992 13:457
    Friz,
    
    Take a val...I am taking QUOTES from Bruce from his interview!!  He
    said that his new band sounds like Zep, and has that blues-based rock
    approach.
    
    The image in undeniable.
634.27MRVAX::CESCOBARThe EscoBarbarianThu Jan 09 1992 13:503
    
    yeah friz...you don't have to showw off that shortest fuze award so
    quickly... ;')
634.28Nothing like G&R......COMET::FRISBYASweet CheaterThu Jan 09 1992 13:5310
    Dude...I AM calm. I was being nice.  
    
      Hold on...You said he was a GnR wanna-be?
    Sorry to tell you but PLENTY of guys wore black leather and are in a
    blues-based rock band.  
                     So where does G&R come into this?
    
           Frizkid
    
                      
634.29CAVLRY::BUCKStay with me tonight...Thu Jan 09 1992 14:232
    I have a photo that lookes like Slash's body with Axl's head stuck
    on it...gimme a fackin break!!
634.30I'd be insulted if I looked like that.COMET::FRISBYASweet CheaterThu Jan 09 1992 14:547
    Dude.....Are you saying just because of the way he looks he's a G&R
    wanna be?  That's a crock.  He can't help it if God messed up.
    
              And Buck....calm down.
    
         Frizkid
    
634.31CAVLRY::BUCKStay with me tonight...Thu Jan 09 1992 17:2513
    Friz,
    
    You are talking to the ORIGINAL Racer X fan, dude!!
    
    He NEVER even looked CLOSE to that!!  I mean, c'mon, I've been
    around long enough to know JUMPING ON THE BAND WAGON when I see
    it.  I mean, it's not that he's dresed in black leather, but its
    the exact same FASHION that Slash wears (like the shopped at the same
    fackin store!!)...same everything!  And, since when did HE ever play a
    Les Paul through a Marshall?!?!?  Bruce was always Mr. Ibanez-thru-
    Metaltronix preamps dude.
    
    I know a copycat when I see one
634.32Quit YELLING!!!COMET::FRISBYASweet CheaterThu Jan 09 1992 18:3317
        Whatever.....
    
              I think that everybody and thier mother owe everything to
    Steve Tyler and Joe Perry.  EVERYBODY TRIES TO LOOK LIKE THEM!
    
      I still dissagree that he's NOT EVEN CLOSE to being a wanna-be G&R
    guy......I mean WHO THE HELL WOULD WANT TO?!?!?!
    
     Slash is one of the worsed guitarist I've ever heard.
    
    
           I also think that he changed his image because neon spandex and
    neon guitars are OUT.....Plus he in a different band with a whole
    different style.  
    
          Frizkid...Listen to thier music and then come talk to me.
    
634.33One songGOES11::G_HOUSEI think I'm gonna hurl! -G. BushThu Jan 09 1992 19:369
    I've heard one song by these guys on the radio and was surprised to
    hear that it was Boulette's(sp) new band.  Totally nontechnical on the
    guitar side, but the tune was pretty catchy, in a very commercial sort
    of way.
    
    I hate the band name, doesn't sound like what you'd expect for a
    commercial rock band.

    I've got this album, and also being a Racer X and Mr. Big fan, i like
    it a lot. I mean alot.... I listened to it nonstop for the first two
    weeks i had it. Just listening to the music is great, great lyrics and
    music but i can see being put off them because they act and look like
    every other Gn'R band. A good album though! and i'd go and see them
    live.

    though. I could NEVER see him in the CRUE!

    Do you know what happened to SAINTS AND SINNERS?  (the band Bruce
    Bouillet and John Aldrete formed after Paul went off to Mr. Big?)
    
    Just curious...I see it last a long time!
634.41Sounds a little Whitesnake....8)COMET::FRISBYAShe took me down the road to ruinsTue Apr 07 1992 22:174

634.42DPE::STARRRed Wine and WhiskeyWed Apr 08 1992 15:1611
>    Has anyone heard "Father,Mother,Son"?

I heard it on the way home last night. The lyrics are ok, but the music is
pretty lame. Its totally by-the-book songwriting and production, and reminds
a wicked lot of "Every Rose Has Its Thorn", right down to the guitar solo.
No originality whatsoever - AcK!

(IMO, a MUCH better song about the same subject is "Fly High Michelle" by
Enuff Z' Nuff.)

    I agree with Alan (Starr) about the songwriting, really poor.  Sounded
    like "Every Rose..." to me too.

634.44Who likes it alot!COMET::FRISBYAShe took me down the road to ruinsWed Apr 08 1992 17:508
    You guys are totally off base with this one.
      I thought the lyrics were really cool and pretty deep for The Scream.
     Of course, I like Every Rose has it's thorn too.
        Really poor songwriting?  I think you guys are being alittle too
    hard on the song.

    It's got the same basic chord progression, the same basic sound, the
    same basic arrangement.  I call that copying a formula and I think it
    sucks.  What would you call it?
