Hey Stonesy, what are the results of your recent contest? TIA!
Btw, what are your thoughts on Skull Ring? |
|
|
| Sir Stonesalot |
Oh shit! The contest! I forgot! I'll figure something out tonite.
Skull Ring. I like the Stooges songs. The rest is very average. I will probably burn it and then trade it in.
The new Dirtbombs is fantastic however! Dangerous Magical Noise.....INDEED it is!
Fuzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzy guitars and Mick Collins is one of my fave singers. The man got boatloads of soul. Boatloads I say! |

The new Ryan Adams album is total shit.....not a patch on the awesome Gold. |
|
|
| hotlicks |
However i do agree with your album of the year...white stripes rule ok!!! |
|
|
| Sir Stonesalot |
Ahhhhh yes. I figured someone would bring this up.
Ryan Adam's "Rock N Roll" can't be compared to "Gold". Apples and oranges. Rock N Roll ain't meant to be like "Gold"...in fact there's nothing remotely "Americana" or "Aly Country" about it. If RNR were meant to be that type of album, I'd agree with you wholeheartedly. It's trad rock/pop. Very well crafted songs, played reasonably well considering our subject. You can definately tell the guy lives in New York now. If you were expecting Gold Pt.2...I can understand why you would be disappointed.
Let's get one thing straight right off the top...I don't care for Ryan Adams the personality. From everythingt I've seen or read...he's a real jerk. But I gotta give credit when it's due...the guy writes some cool tunes, and he can't really be pigeonholed into a specific category. Ryan Adams the musician I like.

didnt Cash's album come out in 2002?
i think the 5-cd boxed set comin up will be the best of 2003
it wasnt a great year for albums. I liked warren zevon's and i like what i've heard of lucinda williams and bowie's but unlike last year where there were a few terrific ones like Bruce, the Chili peppers and Cash, there werent any real classics IMO |

I agree on this.
I (regrettably) got a hold of a boot of one of his shows. No joke, the guy talks more than he plays. Between every song he goes on and on with these anecdotes and wisecracks.
It sounded like he thought the audience must be so in love with him that they'd be gripped by all this 'kooky' dribble.
The show would have been half the length were it not for his self-indulgent goofing. |

Nelly!
I put this post up so that the very thing that you did would happen. I figured people would either try to argue with me about my selections, or they'd put up their own top 10.
Either way works for me. |
|
|
| Nellcote |
SS, I really wanted the caning, you know, as I will have some spring left in my step from the weekend, not only for tonight, but after the 2002 Super Bowl Champion NE Patriots whup Billy Idol Parcells tomorrow night, and I will need to be put in my place for work on Monday. Do not dissapoint. BTW, WTF, no JET on yo list? |
|
|
| Sir Stonesalot |
Jet is good. But I can't put everything on my list.
I suggest you take up your caning issues with one of our fabulous fem posters.
I'm not into guys. Not that there's anything wrong with that...if that's what you are into. I'm the straight eye for the queer guy. |
|
|
| Nellcote |
No, caning is for discipline reasons. I do not have time for man-man matters. Bring me Raquel Welch from 1000 yrs BC, please right now! BTW,I bet McNabb made Ol' Rush relapse after last Monday night's great win! |
|
|
| Sir Stonesalot |
It's just further proof that Rush Limbaugh hasn't a clue.
You know, Rush was quoted as saying that anyone who abuses drugs should be locked up. I'm wondering...when Rush gets out of rehab, is he gonna march straight to the police station to turn himself in?
I hope he gets a cell with 4 big, black, hung, Donavan McNabb fans. |
|
|
| Nellcote |
Mr Pumpkin Head should get all he deserves, however, I find a certain apathy about his matter. Other than a headline or two on Drudge, because Drudge folks have filled in for him, Monday will be big, however, I suspect Rush will escape any rath due to the many Hilton videos which are to surface. Time for him to crawl back to the cave from whence he came. Sometimes these types just do not know when it is time. WTF was ESPN thinking? |

McNABB LEARNED from Rush's plight.................
he went to the 'Chunky Soup Treatment Center', now he's off that shit !!
The results are predictable, the curse is broken.
Watch out SUBWAY!! |

SS, - I agree on Ryan Adams and to me his haunting Brown Sugar version is one of the most moving and deeply felt Stones covers ever.
And the last 2-3 years have brought back some real nice RnRoll bands/music . .

I can honestly say I have not heard of any of the albums you listed. I guess I am the last of a dying breed, a true stones fan, who is not interested in the pseudo-intellectual crap mentioned herein. |

I personally have no use for any of those " Twenty -Something Asshole Bands " listed .

Yes, it originally came out in November 2002. |
|
|
| Sir Stonesalot |
Hmmmm.
You know what? I don't care if it did come out in 2002, I'm leaving it where it is. It belongs there, you know? My copy says 2003, I bought it in 2003, I got infatuated with it in 2003, it has won 2003 awards, Johnny left us in 2003....as far as I'm concerned "When The Man Comes Around" is a 2003 album. |
|
|
| Sir Stonesalot |
Oh and jb...as far as you only listening to the Stones...well all I can say is that you are very very foolish to close your mind like that. It's not cool. In fact, if you told members of the Stones that you only ever listen to their music, they'd fucking laugh you out of the room.
In fact if being that big of a fool is making you a "dying breed", then we have good things to look forward to when you are gone. What day exactly is it that you are gonna die? I need to mark my calender.

The day you send me "72 touring party"... |
|
|
| Sir Stonesalot |
I've told you repeatedly that all you have to do is send me the blanks. It's not my fault that you can't take 5 minutes out of your life to send me 7 blanks.
Get your sec to do it for you. Send the blanks that is... |

I know SS....you have been more than generous.... |
