This'd have to be one of my all-time favourite songs. It's one of those songs that always pops up on random play on my Ipod and I dig every listen. I'd have spun this regularly for over 10 years now and it's still as brilliant as the day I heard it first.

 

Any other fans of this song?

Yep, a great song, the whole album is pretty good really. 'Sin Against The Light' is another fav of mine. These guys would've been great to see live.

They do have some great songs but I have to admit I think it's time I traded all their CDs off. Unfortunately I won't be able to trade 'Soul destruction' because the f*cker skips for one second during the chorus of 'Little lost sometimes'.

 

I like 'Destroyed' off their debut and the killer 'Jesus Loves you (but I don't)' off 'Powertrippin'. Yeah, they're a good band but just not enough gems for me to be a true fan.

yep killer track.

 

One of the great UK hard rock bands. Ive seen them about 5 times. Awesome live...such attitude.

 

The debut is still their finest hour........raw energy on that album and a real live feel. Gift Horse is magnificent as is Destroyed, Full Force Lovin Machine and of course the anthem Wild & Wonderful.........pretty much sums up the band live.

 

Cheers

This is probably one of the best tunes The Almighty ever did. I'm not a big fan of this band but I'll give props where they are due.

The Almighty has tour Australia once supporting Screaming Jets many years ago. I was lucky to meet the guys and had few beers with them.

Bandaged knees is indeed an awesome song.

Have to say Soul destruction is a great album but the rest of their stuff is up and down.

Each album has some great tracks on it (with the exception of Crank), but the the rest of the songs are only so-so.

      My re-introduction. The long and winded version.

      By Swamp Devil · Posted

      I wanted to talk about this band, The Lost. This mourning I was driving in to work, flipping stations. I hit a few college stations, because their play lists are all over the place. And I love hearing young students miss pronounce Van Halen. Anyway, The Lost came on. I saw them on a Thursday night once at Club Bene in NJ. They would have like 8 bands on Thursdays and these guy stood out. Then like a year later, I see them on MTV. Then my buddy, who is a guitar tech, called me up and said do you wanna see the Lost, we’ll get in for free. I was like sure. Then he calls me back and says, they need some guitar strings and we have to go early and knock on the back door. It was cool, we all hung out and shot the shit before the show. The funny thing was, this was during the unplugged trend. And it was advertised as the Lost unplugged. All the local bands brought their stools and played unplugged. When the introduced the Lost, FULL ELECTRIC!  Cool as hell. Then I remember WNEW radio was goi g to have them play a free concert on the steps of city hall in NYC. So the played and hyped the band up until the concert. Then basically stopped playing them.  thanks for reading another long John story. More to come. Lol

      Pretty sure there used to be one here that people would add to and repost as they saw fit. Anyone have a list of upcoming releases? Just saw that the Gun album was out, last I recall I posted saying I was looking forward to it, next thing I know it's been out for over a month. Don't wanna miss anything.

      Damn Yankees reunion?

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      4 out of 11 tracks is still quite a few. If it was one or two, yeah that would not be many, but four is 36% of the songs that were supposed to be on it.

      I read somewhere once they got paid millions by the record company NOT to release the third album. Must have had a great contract. But seems like bad business from the company end whichever way you look at it.
