261.0. "Godfathers, The" by CSC32::G_HOUSE (Back in Black) Wed Oct 05 1988 14:40

    What does everyone out in HMland think of The Godfathers.  I know
    it's not metal, but I've liked what I've heard of theirs and am
    interested in your opinions before throwing away the bucks (no personal
    reference there, wjb) for an album.

261.1I like 'emTORA::JMINVILLEJet Boy, Jet GirlWed Oct 05 1988 14:487
    Greg, I like the Godfathers a *LOT* especially "Birth, School, Work,
    Death" and a tune called "If I Only Had Time".  They have a real
    "raw", high-energy-type sound -- it's real, not over-produced. 
    I don't have the album either, but have heard those two tunes since
    the early spring.

    I know it's been a while since you wrote this but you wanted info.
    and i've just seen the note so here it is, I think the Godfathers
    are a great British rock band ( not Heavy Metal !!! ), there songs
    are very are up front and there image is cool ( gangster suits,
    etc, ). I've heard in several reviews that they fire blank bullets
    into the crowd with machine guns ( strange !!! ) , I have two of
    there albums : "Birth, School, Work, Death" and "Hit by Hit", "Birth,
    etc," is my favorite but "hit by hit" has two very cool songs on
    it :"damn nation" and "i want everything". I have'nt seen them live
    but would like to, the only thing is I think one of there guitarist
    has just left so I'm not sure how that'll leave the band. Anyway
    I've heard there working on a fourth album and am looking forward
    to hearing it. Hope this has help make your mind up to buy one of
    there albums and become a fan ( like Jon Bon Jovi ).
    
261.3Big thumbs up!GOES11::G_HOUSEBut this amp goes to 11Tue Nov 06 1990 16:406
    I have "Birth, School, Work, Death" and think it's great!  Definately
    not metal, but these guys have an excellent alternative rock sound.
    
    I highly recommend it for those who like music other then just metal.
