Well I was referring to band who had already made it and therefore became (more) pretentious. Until then, they are all doing what they have to do, any means necessary

Kiss - The Elder and also that movie they made.

No reason that can't be applied here. So self important that they think they can do whatever they want and it will be right Axl Rose would be a good example of being pretentious, this fed through to his music and a 10 year journey to make something he thought was amazing and elite, when it was actually pretty shit.

I'd never seen this clip before. Probably my favorite Slash song Slash released this special video to help raise awareness for the plight of homeless youth in Los Angeles.

I'd be more inclined to say that all bands make the music they want to make. Only bands who may be a bit pretentious would be those who try to write a 'hit' However when they try to do this is usually works, or at least turns out to be an ok song so it's not really a big deal.

I had a listen and thought he sounded ok. Much better than he did on the first CD which I mistakenly bought without thinking. Just the music isn't for me at all. Better than AC/DC though as it has more melody and a tiny bit more hookiness.

Just start a new 10 out of 10 thread.

They are what others here might call modern rock, or nu metal or something like that. Start with Your Disease Hollywood Rest In Pieces No Regrets Vol 2 and then there's probably their most popular song (but not their best - Click Click Boom If none of those do it for you, move on

fuck, looks like I'm 6 albums behind. I may have done a couple more and not added those songs I liked to my list I;ll have to have a play tomorrow and see where I'm at Still, the list above is from only 3 albums, not a bad return from each album (didn't like the first one)

I was right in to the first 3 or 4 albums a few years ago. Pretty sure I have the new album. I'll have to give it a spin. Will be a week or two before I can report back until the songs have been heard enough to get to know. Here's my list of their best songs, which let you know where I got to with them Superstar Musta Been Wrong Click Click Boom Your Disease After Me Lackluster Hollywood My Goodbyes Always Back Into Your System Rest In Pieces Storm Holdin On Bait & Switch One Night Only Survival Of The Sickest No Regrets (Vol. 2) Two Steps Back Open Eyes I Want You Razor's Edge

For me Saliva are the kind of band who take a while for their music to seep in.And I generally find it hard to mix their music on a mix with other bands. But they've had some awesome music.

Hilarious clip. Awesome pec/boob movement. Great song - probably their best... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yls6ATrkRpE

Cold Chisel Cold Chisel were the epitome of a pub rock band. Jimmy would skull vodka from the bottle on stage, they destroyed their set on our music show at the time - Countdown, and along the way entrenched themselves into Aussie music culture. Their stuff was hit and miss, but when they got it right it was great. All the songs below did well on the charts. Standing On The Outside You Got Nothing I Want Khe Sanh - This is an anthem in Australia. EVERYONE knows the first line or two, and then pretty much nobody know the rest of the song No Sense Breakfast At Sweethearts My Baby Flame Trees - Their best song for me. This is as good as it gets for Jimmy Barnes. Song is hooky and melodic Bow River Choir Girl When The War Is Over - This is one of their best ballads, tonnes of radio play Cheap Wine Forever Now Saturday Night - One of their last songs, a ballad that did very well Jimmy Barnes When Jimmy went solo, he became a resounding success, stamping his own mark on the Aussie music scene. Massive radio hits, more contemporary lighter rock for the most part, but some rock in there as well. No Second Prize I'd Die To Be With You Tonight Ride The Night Away Working Class Man - this was his breakout hit. Was in a Michael Keaton movie Good Times - This is a duet with Michael Hutchence from INXS. Big hit Driving Wheels Too Much Ain't Enough Love I'm Still On Your Side Lay Down Your Guns Let's Make It Last All Night Little Darling - Probably my favorite song of his. Poppy and easy to listen to When Your Love Is Gone Fade To Black - another great ballad, didn't do so well on the charts but one of my faves (Simply) The Best The Weight - another stand out Stone Cold Change Of Heart Lover Lover Gotcha - the first song from a covers album, also containing the songs below (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher And Higher When Something Is Wrong With My Baby Show Me Many Rivers To Cross Reflections Ain't No Mountain High Enough I Found A Love Signed Sealed Delivered (I'm Yours) Bring It On Home To Me Here I Am (Come And Take Me) River Deep Mountain High Respect Reach Out I'll Be There Try A Little Tenderness Stagger Lee Sweet Soul Music

"One of the more misinterpreted songs of all time, word was that "Turning Japanese" refers to the Asian facial features people get at the moment of climax during masturbation. In a VH1 True Spin special, they asked The Vapors about this song, and they explained that it is a love song about someone who lost their girlfriend and was going slowly crazy. Lead singer Dave Fenton said: "Turning Japanese is all the clichés about angst and youth and turning into something you didn't expect to." It was inspired by Fenton's relationship problems."

TMF for me. The only one of the three which I have been able to get in to.

I'll attack these a couple at a time. Noiseworks - fairly big band in Australia for a while. As Geoff said, Take Me Back is their standout. The others are mostly easy to listen to, probably because radio slammed them into our brains until we sung along. Choirboys. Amazing band who are massively underrated. Here are the tracks from my best of compilation. These are all from their first ST album (1983) It is rawer and a bit more 'pub rock' sound to it than subsequent albums Running From The Storm Talk Big Never Gonna Die - the song that got the initial radio airplay You're With The Big Boys Now (Carrie) Boys In The Band - this is an epic song Bought & Paid For Blood Is Thicker Than Water Bullshit – popular is concerts and kind of cutting edge to have Bullshit as the song title at the time. The Second album - Big Bad Noise (1988) Very commercial and great production which set the scene for future releases. The album that 'made them' Run To Paradise - Their biggest hit. If you want to test out one song top see what the band's about, try this. Struggle Town – Released as maybe the 4th single. OK Boys Will Be Boys - The follow up to Run To Paradise. Also did very well Like Fire Fireworks - I still have the 7" single of this and it is way better than what made it to the album Gasoline One Hot Day From Midnight Sun (1991) This album didn't do much for the band, yet it contains some of their best stuff Midnight Sun Our Empire Falls - This is a hooky classic song Rise Up Place With No Love Rendezvous - one of my favorites from this band We Believed – another great song which builds to a great chorus From Yo-Yo (1996) All Night Lonely Angeline One Way Street Gone Solo Can't Believe – kind of a punky song for them, the best of this album This Is My Summer From Evolver (2004) This albums has Beatles songs in brackets after each title. The songs play on this in the lyrics Fuel (A Day In The Life) - the stand out here Pharaohs (Let It Be) The Dog Song – quirky poppy ballad Dream On (All You Need Is Love) Please Believe Me (Come Together) Cold Outside Your Heart (Good Day Sunshine) Break It Free (Girl) Ride Up (Baby's In Black) – cool song with nice hooks Roll It Over (Yesterday) All Over You (She's Leaving Home) Note, there is one more album, which I don’t have from 1994 which is Dancing on the Grave of Rock n' Roll Other albums are Big Bad And Acoustic 2006 which is a best of acoustic versions and So Easy 2007 which is a covers album.

The first 2 D Toys albums are ok. Some great tracks and some average tracks. 3 and 4 were their shining moments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSCU6JoKaN4

I'm a massive Dangerous Toys fan, but Broken Teeth have always been a poor man's AC/Dc, and I'm not a huge AC/DC fan anyway. Sad because Pissed is an amazing album, and I also consider r*tist to also be a great album (although most here likely won't) I always wonder if there is still great D Toys music to be made, or if they just burnt out and became pretty much a cover band due to lack of inspiration. Hell, my user name is a D Toys song

We may never have got QRIII Which I love by the way. Hugely underrated album *heads off to song of the day*

Hey Silverkin Click on the 3rd icon from the left (beside the font drop down) which is Special BB Code Then select Media from it's drop down and insert the url there. Then the clip will appear in the text body

That was fun. I remember Rock And Roll Mercenaries. Actually quite liked it. Did not know he did the Gillette thing, but now I do I'm amazed I never realised.

Better than no good songs I guess...

Kill Bill 1 Great to see it again. Classic Kill Bill 2 tomorrow night.
