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. To download "Gotten" and donate to LAYN, please visit http://slashonline.com/gotten, for more information on Los Angeles Youth Network, please visit http://layn.org/donate.html.

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.

 

Ah cheers Cure, I'll work my way through them and then choose an album of theirs to buy

I'm loving all this new music I'm getting exposed to! Had kind of got stuck into a rut with my listening habits until recently.

Friend at work has leant me a reggae CD which I would have said is not really my thing but I gave it a go today. It started off with a fun cover of Alphaville's Forever Young (by Patrick P). I'm actually loving the poetry of all the lyrics which reminds me to maybe start a thread to see whether people think a great song can be ruined by naff lyrics or whether the music would always be strong enough to override that.

 

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...

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.

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.

"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 4^th 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.

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.
