Topic: Bands That Fizzled Out Too Quickly! Return to archive Page: 1 2 3

Sir Stonesalot Shortly after Roy died, FPM & I decided that Tom Waits would be the logical replacement in the Wilbury family.

And I think we can ALL agree that Keith would make a great Wilbury.

With Keith in the fold, Jeff Lynne would certainly be the next to die. Keith would see to that.

11-12-02 05:12 PM
gypsy I agree about the Traveling Wilburys! They SHOULD go on as a trio...just Bob, Tom, & Jeff! I agree, Keep, that Roy and George would get a real kick out of it!

Quite right. Had they survived, the Groupies would have probably been the second greatest band of all time.






Primitive . . . . that's how I live!

Here goes Ladies & Gents with the list of those bands that came + went way too quickly (for various reasons, of course):
4. Jimi Hendrix



Apparently Jimi is in your list because he passed, he was active 1967-1970 but with that "short" life he was been active since then, he has more albums dead than alive. His music still alive.

winter Hey Butt Sniff:

I saw Buck Cherry open up for Lenny Kravitz a few years back in Woostah,MA. I didn't know any of their music at the time, but they blew me away. I thought they were the next GnR.

The second album was pretty damn good as well.

Fiji Joe Skynyrd and surprise JB, I agree, The Cult
11-12-02 08:00 PM
Butt Sniff Winter, I smell ya That first buck cherry album is still great to party with and yeah the whole GNR comparisons were legit what ever happened to those guys.I think I bought some rose from that lead singer
11-12-02 08:06 PM
winter I'm pretty sure they broke up out of fustration from the lack of commercial success with the last album. Their label may have dropped them to make room for some more 17 year old talentless whores.

yeah bill, terence crossed my mind too - i loved "the hard line according to..." when it came - interesting that he had to move to the uk to get recognized...

listening back now, some of the '80's keyboard noises are a little cheesy for my taste but the songs and the voice and the music generally remain outstanding - sort of what michael jackson could have been if he hadn't grown up a weirdo... or a hard rockin' blusey prince type without all the overt camp...

what did happen??... i know he did a gig (or two) as a hutchence substitute with inxs but wised up quickly to the fact it was a nowhere gig... he could have been a huge player imho

btw, in re other posts, i agree layla is a tour de force and as nasty initimated that album (and the song in particular) is up their with the stones at their best and greatest (i.e. "exile" - no coincidence it was recorded about the same time as also drenched in desperation, booze, and class "a" drugs

and nasty what's the problem with ginger baker?? i know i'll draw heaps of flack for this - and don't get me wrong i think "physical graffitti" (again a double album) is a masterwork but john bonham was a half dimensional plodder - that is, everything charlie is not (i mean, "moby dick"!? what's up with that??)

luxury1 Whatever happened to The Stories--you know their hit "louie, Louie"--not that Animal House thing--that other one--"louie, louie, louie, louieeeeeeeeeee" Glam rockers--first "concert" for me--in my high school auditorium---and us chickies got backstage to meet them and act stupid. The rest is history.
11-13-02 03:40 PM
Street Fighting Man Pretty cool responses gang.

BTW, I saw the Police live twice in the 80's - they were actually great! Not as rocking (read that lively on the stage) as the Stones, but the Police's music was made to be played live.

sirmoonie "Brother Louie!"
---
She was black as the night
Louie was whiter than white
Danger, danger when you taste brown sugar
Louie fell in love overnight.

Nothing bad, it was good
Louie had the best girl he could
When he took her home to meet his mama and papa
Louie knew just where he stood.

Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie
Louie, Louie, Louie, Lou-I
Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie
Louie, Louie you're gonna cry.

"Its all the same in the dark, Ronnie!"

Nasty Habits I feel the same way about "Toad" that you do about "Moby Dick", there, SIA -- The drumming on Cream records is to me just about as stupid as John Bonham's drumming with fewer excuses -- Bonham buts the "Led" in the Zeppelin but Ginger NEVER makes me cream. I think I gained my bias against him from "Toad" and "Do What You Like", which is, I believe, his "composition". No doubt this early learned bias has no basis in present day reality, but I've been opposed to Ginger Baker for the last 15 years on some kind of vague personal grounds and don't figure I'll stop any time soon.

"Brother Louie" was a Hot Chocolate composition Stories covered, years before Hot Chocolate hit it big in the states with "You Sexy Thing".

If I remember right, Stories eventually became "Ian Lloyd and Stories" and then went back again as egos grew and their career did not.

In my personal iconography, the three bands that fizzled too soon go like this:

The Revelators
She Bang!
The Starkweathers

The fact that nobody else here knows them is testament to their too soon departure from this musical coil.

Most bands are around too long if they make more than two records, but you've got to figure that a band like

Fraternity of Man

had they existed into the era of glam and the New York Dolls, would have come up with some pretty interesting shit.

I wish Jesus Rodriguez had made more records.

I wish that Doug Sahm had not burned out in the mid 70s. (I wish Doug had never signed to Atlantic, honestly).

I wish that Dylan had kept his band of Los Angeles punk rockers he used to promote "Infidels" on the David Letterman show. THERE was definitely a band that fizzled too soon!


Louis Prima/Keely Smith .

Louis Armstrong / Earl Hines.

Howlin' Wolf/Willie Smith. (Not to knock Hubert Sumlin, but COME ON! WILLIE SMITH!)

Elvis, Scotty, Bill.

The Screamers.

And Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars had at least one more good record in them.

But if they had made it, then Ronson wouldn't have played with Dylan on the Rolling Thunder Revue.

Things have a way of working out.

sirmoonie Boney M was a band that died long before its time.

Treat me like a fool, c'mon Daddy Cool!

Daddy Cool was a good band, too!

Boney M were fuckin' rockin'. Their covers were insane. A disco version of Creation's "Painter Man"!
Who would have ever thought of that?

11-13-02 04:59 PM
RubyFriday Boney M was no real band.Behind Boney M was the same producer as of Milli Vanilli - Frank Farian.He did Silver Convention ,too.

11-13-02 05:13 PM
sirmoonie And the Stones were produced by Lilliwhite. Whats your point there, Ruby J.?

Boney M were cool, man. Tried to do all that Funkadelic rocketship bit on Nightflight to Venus. Covered Dreadlock Holiday and Heart of Gold. Above all, they had some black English soul, brothah! Seldom spoken for at that time.

The Undisputed Truth had better fros though.

Boney M was real shit.Be aware that Frank Farian is a white german........so much black soul they had.He did every tone on the records except the girls vocals.That�sthe difference to the Stones.HEwas Boney M and the others were his employees,which he partly replaced.At Milli Vanilli he did all himself,the same shit.
