the faces

this isn't Faces orginal song (cover of the motown band the Temptations) but this performance roooocks!
the Faces were English band formed in '69 with young Rod Stewart who at the time played really good rock tunes. you can also see mr Ronnie fuckin' Wood (do i have have to tell who is he?!)
they toured around the world between '70-'75 and became famous for their live shows (energetic, entertaining and on high musical standards)
the Faces broke up after 6 years but they are considered one of most influencial bands
(G'n R, Sex Pistols, Black Crows etc.) after split Ronnie joined Stones, Rod went solo, drummer Kenney Jones joined the Who, Ian McLagan (organs) was know for his session work and Ronnie Lane (bass) formed Ronnie Lane Slim Chance.
they reunite in 2009 for one gig but Rod didn't take part in it, and Ronnie Lane (R.I.P.) was replaced with Bill Wyman.
in 2010 Faces reunite again to play few festival and world tour in 2011, Rod Stewart won't be part of it again... Mick Hucknall from Simple Red take his duties and Glen Matlock will play bass guitar.

johnny thunders and the heartbreakers

Johnny Thunders!
this is 1979 live version of 'London Boys' by Johhny Thunders and the Heartbreakers.
London Boys is answer to Sex Pistols's New York... and I say 1:0 for Johnny.
i don't know what to write about JT... i love his work with Dolls, with Heartbreakers, with Wayne Kramer i love his solo albums, his style and his guitar playing. he's one inpiring motherfucker :)
too bad that i won't see him playing live.
Rest In Peace Johnny!

w.a.s.p.

this is oldschool metal footage from 1984.
the band is called W.A.S.P. and is fronted by Blackie Lawless. this guy was Johnny Thunders replacement in New York Dolls in late 70s then he played in few other bands. he even play with Nikki Sixx at one point and in Killer Kane Band (Dolls bass player!!), then he formed W.A.S.P.
their 80s stuff is just great, this is the metal that i like. i also like the fact that their first bass player Rik Fox was half-polish (his father was from Poland) :)
Blackie is only guy that played with W.A.S.P. from the early days.
too bad that Blackie is now some kind of extreme christian and he didn't want to play songs like Animal (Fuck Like a Beast)...
ps. why Chris Holmes (lead guitar) had pants with holes on his ass?!
song:W.A.S.P.-Animal(Fuck Like a Beast)

keith richards

    i'm listening to new Keith Richards compilation album right now and i must say, everything that Keith has touched is awsome. album is called Vintage Vinos an it was released on november 2nd.
Vintage Vinos has got the best Keiths songs from his solo albums, Stones songs and bunch of live performances. he gave us his signature classic riffs as well as greeat rock ballads like 'Make no Mistake', he mix different genres. we can hear a lil' bit of funk grooves, a lil' bit of reagge( 'Too Rude') and of course a loot of blues and rock'n roll!
i know that this isn't nothing new, but still i love it. i'm not so familiar with his solo discography (i mostly listen to the Stones...) ,so this album open the doors for me. now i'm sure that i'm going to know them better.
maybe  he isn't the best vocalist in the world but somehow i like his calm vocals plus i've always consider Keith Richards as a god of riff-makers, and know i have more proofs to my theory :)
just put this fuckin' CD into your cd-players/pc and enjoy great music from ol' buddy Keith :)




this video is 1988 promo for 'Make no Mistake' which is on the Vintage Vinos

zodiac mindwarp

this is video of Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction.
sleaze rock at it's best. Zodiac Mindwarp is alter ego of Mark Manning , this guy co-wrote Feed My Frankenstein with Alice Cooper.
Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction toured with bands like G'n R and Alice Cooper,
they took over Europe in late 80s but something must went wrong (we all know why hard rock died after 80s) and they dissapear.
this year their new album We Are Volsung came out. i haven't heard it yet, but i will :)
song: Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction - Prime Mover (1988 album Tattooed Beat Messiah)
