Danger Danger -- Paul Laine Version -- Appreciation Thread

[rob62972]

"I Do" is one badass song!!

It is... and 'Grind' still crushes my balls everytime I hear it.

 

'She's gone' is a beautiful ballad and I really dig stuff like 'Dead, drunk and wasted' and 'Dead Dog' .

Yeah.... my favs on Gildersleeves:

 

1. I Do

2. Dead Drunk & Wasted

3. She's Gone

4. Dead Dog

5. Grind

I think we all need to ignore this Paul Laine's side of D2

Not in a million years mate.

 

As for his new album, I too would love to hear a 'Stick it in your ear'-style album, but I don't expect it at all.

 

 

Having met Paul @ Firefest I managed to remember to ask him about a new album..... hopefully one wont take too long before it comes out but it'll be a very modern & current type of rock album... we can pretty much forget about a siiye type album even though Paul did say he has tons of songs like it.

 

I just think Paul realises how much of an impact he can have on the fan when does a siiye type album..

Yeah, I'll be expecting a Shugaazer-type album. That was okay, but I'm not dying to hear another disc like that. If you look at the songs he wrote for D2 while in D2 they were always the weakest tracks on the albums... so I can't say I will be expecting much from this disc.

 

One has to wonder that if he has tons of songs like the material on 'Stick it in your ear', then why was his second solo album so weak??

 

 

Paul's 2nd solo album that came out on the Escape label was never ever meant to be released.

"speculation" has it that the label got hold of a bunch of demos Paul is alleged to have sent over & decided to release em without his permission, Paul still to this day has apparently never recieved a royalty cheque from it.. That CD is alleged to have recieved a solitary pressing of 500 cds aswell.

 

When I tried to speak to Paul about he started walking away after signing my 2 cd covers.. so even us fans bare the brunt of such indecent label behaviour .....

He wrote "Jaded" and "Captain Bring Me Down" not only my 2 favs on the Four the Hard Way disc but 2 of my fav D2 tunes ever. So I wouldn't say he wrote weak tunes.

Haha... okay - I'm wrong with that one. Then maybe just his two on 'Greatgildersleeves'... what were they - 'Get in the ring' and Six Million dollar man'? Very weak tracks imo.

 

While those weren't my fav tracks on that disc I didn't hate but I did love the ballad "My Secret".

I knew there was one more! Yeah, I didn't like that one either. In fact, I loved every song on that album except these three.

 

Even "Cherry Cherry"?

Do you know in all honesty I was millimetres away from adding "I even prefer 'Cherry Cherry' to these three songs." Because yeah, I think 'Cherry Cherry' is the next weakest song on the CD, but all of those 3 are worse, imo. At least 'Cherry Cherry' is a decent attempt at some vintage double word attack Danger Danger.

 

As for being disappointed with the disc, I never was. But every now and then I look back at it and think wow, there are actually a few fillers on this one. But the fact is, there are more killer tracks and the killer tracks really are excellent. Kind of make me forget about the duds.

 

what? I thought Cherry Cherry was great the first time I heard it.

I've been listening to all the D2 albums all weekend and in the ipod when I was mowing was Four the Hard Way & Gildersleeves. I still love the Paul stuff just as much as the Ted stuff.
