I go Sat.
I saw 'em last year, before the new album, and it was one of the most fun shows I'd been to in a long time.
I can't wait to see them do some of the new songs.
And the SuperSuckers will be there too! And The Chesterfield Kings!! Holy crap, it's Rock n Roll overload!
I'm gonna wear Depends. |

Saw them twice, Sunset Junction last year and at Tower this year doing mostly new songs. Great show, a lot of fun and the new album has some good songs too. |

I wonder if the SuperSuckers will bust out a Dolls or Thunders cover in their set? |

You take it right. One of the best bands in the US...heavily influenced by Brian era Stones. Fantastic vintage gear. Business picks up when the Kings hit the stage. |

I saw GWAR last night. Even though I took a long hot yet drunken shower, I just noticed I still have fake blood on my face and even in my scalp. None of my co-workers even mentioned it though staggering in 5 minutes late and in some state of disarray isn't all that unusual. |

Last night in Halifax was the second GnR show I've seen this tour. No better/no worse than Worcester two weeks ago---the new songs kick ass, especially IRS and the band continues to blow me away.....my opinion that they are DAR better than the old GnR has been oft-posted and was reaffirmed !! And I am so friggin' glad I got to finally hear "Used To Love Her" live!!! The Sebastain Bach duet on 'My Michelle' is super--like raw sandpaper against baby flesh!! The pyro show is awesome---Axl'x voice continues to hold out and he's thinner now than in thirteen years!!
SOB did not come on 'till midnight!!!

I know I could name my own price for a ticket but nowadays I blow off gigs by bands I still love if it's going to be that kind of timeline, especially on a weeknight. |

I'm really into the song Better. IRS is great too and Madagascar is really growing on me. |

Saw them a couple of years ago supporting the White Stripes. Never saw the 'original' line up, so have no frame of reference to compare it to, but I thought they were very enjoyable |

A fine night out at the local rock club, Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel. We revved up at home first and then headed out around nine...we parked just two blocks away on the street for free and were inside within fifteen minutes of leaving home, a refreshing change from concerts of late. SS was correct and the Chesterfield Kings were very good, if a tad too derivative. They rocked, and hey, these days that counts for a lot!! The club was maybe 3/4 full, I'm guessing a 600 or so capacity with the balcony closed. I forgot how many punk cuties come out to these clubs! And boy were they ever friendly--many fine college age bimbettes in punk gear and VERY social--where were all these girls when I was 21 and single?!?!?! We set up right in front at the stage railing (a low stage) and boycotted additional booze, allowing us to set up front and center while others gave in to bladder pressure. The Dolls came on about 11:20 or so and were great! They opened with 'Looking For A Kiss' and it was perfect. Johansen can't weigh more than 135 lb's soaking wet, no high heels, but with red painted fingernails. He strutted the stage and pranced and prowled like you'd expect...Syl Sylvain and he came to the edge of the stage many times....I remember once opening my eyes after dancing through the solo on 'Trash' to find David singing two feet in front of me! You don't get THAT at stadia or arenas! Syl even let me strum the guitar a couple of times!! It was loud, my ears are STILL ringing as I type, louder even than GnR on Monday night (except during the explosions). They did most of the first album, 'Puss nBoots' from the second, and three from the new one, plus a couple of covers and a new one not yet recorded. The encore was 'Personality Crisis'!!!
In the middle of the show, Syl announced it was sad that Killer, Nolan, and expecially Johnny could not be here....they then went into 'You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory' which ran into 'Lonely Planet Boy' sung perfectly by David! By the way, David looks and is aging much as Mick...eerie parallels from '73 to '06! His wig was funny but funky. This is a fun evening of rock and I reccomend it highly, and remember I was the cynic---announcing last year "No Thunders=No Dolls". I stand corrected.
Again.
Cazart!
Long Live Rock

Great review, thanks, I love reading stuff like that. I missed the show unfortunately choosing Aerosmith/Motley Crue instead. Sometimes there is just too much to do around here. |

Hey Jizzy...thanks for the review.
The Kings derivative? Absolutely. Thank goodness they are derivative of stuff I really love.
What did you think of the SuperSuckers?

I was not impressed...they were kinda dull to be honest, the cowboys hats and song style reminded me of a less-hickish 38 Special (developing....)....at least they rocked and played guitars and did not rap so that automatically puts 'em ahead of 99% of what's out there today, but I just did not find enough hooks to keep me excited....maybe with more touring they'll pick up some more riffs and improve---the road is THE school for rockers...
now, the go-go dancers.....

Uh...The Supersuckers have been touring almost non-stop since the early 90's. Maybe you missed their humor...those guys crack me up.
But hey, to each their own. I can certainly understand why someone would not care for them. They are a bit over-the-top. But I like that, especially when it is done tongue firmly in cheek. |

If you can find it, I highly recommend the Kings album "Let's Go Get Stoned". Extremely derivative...right down to the Aftermath album cover.
But extremely derivative in a good way, if you know what I mean.
Their latest "The Mindbending Sounds of...." is really good too. |

I caught the Dolls in NYC wed. night and they rocked! They have always delivered the goods since they started out 2 years ago...I couldn't get over how happy David Jomama was...he was really into the packed NYC house singing along with the band...I do feel that the Supersuckers had a better sound though that could be because we moved up closer to the stage for the Dolls...
great show though too late for me...we had to leave during Personality Crisis in order to catch the last train back to Jersey...bummer. Saw them 4 times since the Starland show in 2004 and can't wait to see 'em again...
By the way, there is an excellent FM/SBD recording of the Dolls from Sweden back in July up on DIME.  |
