  1. Some of you guys are on crack.....the song "Big Time" was excellent no matter who was singing it. You're being picky just to be picky, I think......the songs prior...yeah....not so good, but this latest one was damn good.

     

    Sadly, Geoff's taste is rubbing off on some of you.....LOL

     

    +1

     

    I'm listening to this album now and it's fucking good.

    You don't have to love it. If your a purist and can't bring yourself to let it into your system, then fair enough, but it's a great rock album.

    For me it has the traditional GW sound, and Terry does a great job.

  2. Saw The Wrecking Crew.

    Not bad. Probably a bit long and a bit light on the snippy, hardly done by stuff (although I think in their time they made a pretty penny, as mentioned in the film)

    But still, it would be hard to play (and write) all that music with no credit.

    Mamas And Papas and The Monkees bits were pretty interesting.

  3.  

    I liked Dredd.

    Also liked the Stallone version a few years back.

     

    My daughter is pissed that Cape Fear didn't make the cut. Same with Shutter Island

    Your daughter has good taste :pickle:

     

    :) She thinks so...

     

    FWIW, some movies off my list that aren't all that well known, but I obviously think are worth a look are

     

    The Salton Sea - Val Kilmer in a movie with a few twists and turns

    Nick Of Time - Johnny Depp plays a businessman who must obey his daughters captors to ensure she survived

    They Live - Rowdy Roddy Piper isn't a great actor, but the premise of this movie is. About aliens infiltrating earth.

    Less Than Zero - Robert Downey Jr is the movie that has Poisons version of Kiss's RNR All Nite. About how drugs screw up youth etc

    Runner Runner - Justin Timberlake and Ben Affleck about drug running and getting caught up in that world.

    Everly - Salma Hyeck gets caught up with the Russian mob and has to kick some ass to get out alive

  4. The song Crazy Crazy Nights is good enough to make this a killer album all on its own.

    Also love Turn On The Night and My Way

    Used to really like I'll Fight Hell To Hold You, but it somehow became syrupy and cheesy.

    Bang Bang You is ok, even though it's kinda stupid and Reason To Live is not among their best ballads, but is ok.

     

    Peter Criss solo album is ok because of 3 songs

    Don't You Let Me Down

    Hooked On Rock N Roll

    I Can't Stop The Rain

  5. Yes, John Wick is pretty damn killer (pun). I love revenge movies, and John Wick is cold revenge in a very cool way.

     

    Never saw The Raid. Will have to check it out.

     

    Edge Of Tomorrow 2 is said to be in the works

    Top Gun 2 just got the green light.

     

    I hated Donnie Darko. Same with another 'cult' movie Fargo

     

    Many of the Arnie movies were/are cool, but seem a bit lollypoppy now. True Lies is one of the best. Also like Running Man etc

  6. Pioneers, and of influence, but I never saw them as being ahead of their time.

    ie: the song was a good song, and should have done better for them. More likely that the song (while great to us) did not fit the popular demand at the time.

    In the end, it really doesn't matter if they were ahead of their time or not, more wondering the reason why this song wasn't a hit.

    It's a great song, that pretty much everyone knows and likes because of QR.

    But the QR version really isn't that different - just updated.

  7. It was a fair job getting the list together.

    I own all the movies I like, so I scanned through my collection and plucked out the best ones
    I need to watch Ford Fairlane again. Tried to get the kids in to it a few times but they just don't seem to get it :(

  8. So here's my list.

    As I said, it got to 200, so hopefully the ones that people see as being omitted were in the 100 to 200 section.

    I actually did this for my kids so they'd be able to pick a flick when they are bored and hopefully enjoy it as much as I did.

    lad I didnt pay to see this one. Ive seen Pitt in a couple other war movies I liked, not this one. Politicians (civilians) screwing the military. :cussing:

    I recently did my top 100 movie of all time, and Brad Pitt movies did well, so did Tom Cruise.

    I would be interested in seeing that list.

     

    I'll post it in a new thread so as not to big down this one.

    It ended up a list of 200 movies, but I think I have my favorites in the top 100 now.

  10.  

     

    Run Runaway was good, and the B side to that was better

    Over The Hills And Far Away? From memory?

     

    OK, It was Two Track Stereo, One Track Mind.

    Which i think was on the soundtrack from that 80's robot movie.

     

    It was on their remastered version of "the Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome " album. And "over the Hills etc" was a Gary Moore track which did with Phil Lynott.

     

     

    Thanks.

    Memory ain't what it was.

    Killed quite a few brain cells over the years :)

  11. Interesting that the song is so close to the cover, yet did nothing for Slade.

    Ahead of their time? Nope

    Poor promotion? Maybe

    English band? Most likely the cause - didn't break in the US so didn't back home (ironically the opposite was true for Twisted Sister, but that was a different era.

     

    Benali said that he ran into the Slade bassist (I think) and he was all salty and barely spoke to him.

    Benali said he saw it as a fair deal. QR got the press and notoriety and Slade got all the money.

    I guess doing Mama Weer All Crazee Now in the follow up may have really pissed off Slade as that then was 2 songs that QR did of theirs.

    Basically QR could be seen as a cover band.From my recollection the song Metal Health wasn't really popular until long after Feel The Noise, probably because it was heavier than most songs at the time.
