Hey~Sway will enlighten us on this.
He's got the inside track, I think?
Seriously, it would be great to see them come
out with SOMETHING, after all of these bang-off
performances they've had.
They've got a label, right? |

winter,
Lions is a 1000x better than Bang. If you took the exact songs from Lions and had Mick overdub the vocals and slap a Stones sticker on it and called it "Bigger Bang" you'd spew in your pants.
so shut the fuck up

The Black Crowes aren't even worthy to open for the Stones anymore. They were a glorified bar band that has been inconsequential since 1990. |

"...glorified bar band" - isn't that what the Stones are?
The Crowes will ALWAYS be worthy to open for the Stones. Even w/out Marc Ford! |

Very charming. Come clean, have you been reading "How to make friends and influence people"?
Also, why are you so defensive about the Crowes? With the quality of their catalog - By Your Side, Amorica, Lions, etc., I wouldn't think that a little jest would set off such a harsh reaction.
Oh, I do have one other question: Are the Crowes planning another tour / album with the likes of Mr. Page to help pull their ticket and record sales out of the shitter, or are the Robison brothers going to return to the enormous success of their solo careers?
I believe Rich Robison was able to sell out a string of dates at local BBQ pit in Cambridge last time he was on tour (Brother Jimmies). If I remember correctly, if you ordered a full rack of ribs, you could either get a side of slaw or a copy of Rich's cd. I took the slaw.

Bigger Bang sucks. Sorry if you dont like hearing it from me.
Streets Of Love, Infamy, Rain Fall Down, She Saw Me Coming, Look What the Cat Dragged In, Sweet Neo Con and Biggest Mistake are amongst the worst Stones songs I've ever heard. Right alongside Back To Zero. As bad as anything on Goddess. These songs blow.
even the semi-decent songs suck if you want to compare them to the Crowes.
in fact, there isnt a single song on the record that could make its way onto a Crowes album and you know it.

It's funny, because when Lions came out, there was no shortage of negativity on the BC fansites (much like ABB and Stones fans).
I remember Chris catching a lot of hell for singing a really bum note in 'Losing My Mind', which wasn't corrected. (Can you imagine what people would be saying here if Mick had left something like that in on ABB?) I guess singing off-key isn't as 'organic' as playing the occasional bad lick- which is usually viewed as being 'in the moment'. Bottom line: online fans are the same all over. 
Btw, most BC fans seem to be having a pretty good reaction to ABB- at least on other sites. And the ones that trash it all seem to begin their rant with "Well, I haven't heard it, but..." |

I dig most of the Crowes stuff, but let's call a spade a spade, Lions sucked. I bought it the day it came out and was sorely disappointed.
I do applaud them on doing the instantlive, if only the Stones would do this.

I think "Lions" is a good album, most of the songs are good/excellent. But a track like "Lickin' " sucks.
"A Bigger Bang" is also a very good album, great songs and 2 or 3 that sucks too.
But we can't compare the 2 bands, I like them both, that's great |

sorry sister, but I'm not the one that started this thread
I havent brought the Crowes up here for days. Just been talking about Bang.
but eveytime I say that theres a song I dont like on Bang, someone, like yourself (several times, I might add) comes back with some jag about the Crowes.
I dont see what the Black Crowes have to do with Bigger Bang. In fact I think its the farthest sound from the Black Crowes that there is. So really theres no point in comparing them.
yet...
anytime I mention not liking a track on Bang, people like yourself, want to rank on the Crowes with something stupid.
for example,
I'll say: Biggest Mistake is lame. Sounds like its from the Alfie soundtrack.
and then some chick, like you says: Yeah, well the Crowes play too many cover songs.
1. for the life of me I dont get what one has to do with the other.
2. if you're tired of talking about the Crowes then stop bringing them up.
and... if you really deep down in your heart think that Bang is a good record then defend it accordingly. Tell me what it is you like about a song. Maybe you like Rain Fall Down because it makes you want to sip Pina Coladas and dance under a disco ball. Ok. Fine. Then say it and defend why you like it. But dont try and bash another band just because you dont like someones opinion about a certain song.
OK. Find a valid argument. Instead of "oh yeah, you dont like that song. Well, the Allman Brothers are fat."
it just doesnt make any sense

the Stones finally come out with their first record in 8 years and suddenly are above any criticism or even comparison to other bands. thats just great. its good that we're all of the maturity to agrue whether "Ozone Mama" or "Rain Fall Down" is the worse song. and God forbid that anyone at any point confused the Stones as a Chuck Berry cover band at any time.
and Sway - stop plugging Rich Robinson's album on here. Marc's would be a much better choice |

Dude, I have a fucking life, I don't have the time or the desire to defend anything to you. If YOU hate ABB so much, start ONE THREAD saying so instead of spamming this board with your tiresome, unfunny threads.
"Which version of Biggest Mistake is your favorite?"
"Que. About She Saw Me Coming?"
Har-dee-fucking-har-har!
HATE the album if you want, talk about it here in a thread, whatever, but please quit spamming the fucking board!
BTW--I have almost ALL of the Black Crowes CDs and have seen them a shitload of times. I've always liked the band . . . but you're starting to actually making me HATE them!

I think Paper pretty much sucks - first several songs are OK, but by the time it gets into the watered down Hookah Brown remake of "Places" and crap like "Baby" I'm really glad that there's no more solo work to expect from him in the near future.
Ford's album on the other hand has great songs, great playing, and runs through just about every type of blues you need to make a great record. I'm more excited at this point about his 2nd album than all new Crowes. it would give the band enough of a break to release some of that vault material |

I just hate to even think of how the Crowes fucked up Otis' "Too Hard To Handle". Think of how Pigpen and the boys did it versus that wannabee celebrity, second generation Mick-clone who fronts the Crowes! |

I've already danced to Rain Fall Down... great fucking time I had indeed. I'm sure some others have danced to it as well, but won't admit to it. That's a big part of what I like about the Stones... you CAN dance to alot of their music. |

Yes, and we can only hope that one day the Stones will approach the mammoth commercial success of the recent Crowes releases and Robinson solo projects.

Yeah, but you think Lions is a great record too. If you're going to try to sell everyone a used beat up car, at least pretend it's a good car. I no ne post you compare Lions to ABB then you say ABB sucks in another. You're a horrible sales person or an undercover troll. |

for the record:
I think ABB is lame. Possibly their worst record.
I've never compared Lions to ABB. In fact, I said there is no comparison.
I said Lions was better. But only because Winter pointlessly brought up the Crowes & Lions for the zillionth time.
I will state again, that there is absolutely no point comparing Bigger Bang with any Crowes album because it sounds nothing like the Black Crowes.
Bang sounds like Goddess In The Doorway Pt. II |

I never thought anyone could make me dislike the Crowes, but your posts do help that cause. |
