'Bandaged Knees' - The Almighty


Geoff

Recommended Posts

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.

    • Named my HH self after the song Auslander on the album Stain. Love that track. Really like the whole album. It's like Living Colour's "Slave to the Grind" or "Dog Eat Dog".
    • From Frontiers: TRACKLIST: 1 Awesome God 2 Stand Up 3 Warrior 4 There You Are 5 Speak His Name 6 Why God Brought Me Here 7 Praying 8 It's Up to You 9 Holy Moment 10 Leaning on the Cross 11 Jesus Christ --- When a musical family gets together to record, magic can happen and this is what the VAN ZANT’s are here for! Brothers Johnny and Donnie Van Zant (respectively current lead vocalist of Southern Rock icons Lynyrd Skynyrd and founding member of .38 Special) were able to find room in their busy schedules for the first time in 1998, recording their collaboration album “Brother to Brother”: a tribute to their late brother and Lynyrd Skynyrd original singer and founding member Ronnie. Such release was highly acclaimed between the press and fans worldwide and brought the duo to record a follow up album, simply entitled “II” in 2001. Their collaboration during the years did not stop as they tapped their feet in a more Country-oriented style with the release of “Get Right With the Man” (certified Gold in the USA in 2005) and later on with “My Kind of Country” in 2007. Now the brothers once again reinvent themselves, offering a Christian-themed album encompassing their Rock and Blues musical roots (and with a touch of Country for good measure). The result “Always Look Up” is made up of songs that will touch the listener’s heart and soul, with an emotional depth that is truly second to none in today’s musical landscape. Experience the soul touching that only the music from the Van Zant family, can provide. You will see why they are icons of the American South, and musical heroes to millions around the globe!
    • New song 'This Won't Last'.    
    • Living Colour - Stain Great White - Psycho city
    • I am an atheist but will quite happily listen to Christian music. Hell I will listen to any music if it is good. I don't worship Satan, but will listen to Satanic music if it is good. I will listen to songs about drugs, despite never doing drugs. To me, with very few exceptions, I don't give a tarts furry cup if the lyrics are something I don't care about, as long as the music is good and the singers can sing (even happy to listen to foreign languages). That said, if lyrics make me cringe because they are godawful, it is tough to listen to a song. Some of this is mega cringe, not because it's Christian but because it's just not that great lyrically. I don't think either of these songs are awful, but they just did not grab me and the lyrics could have been so much better. As much as new Stryper gets on my tits as it all sounds the same, classic Stryper despite the preachy lyrics was always well written, hence why I really loved the band. And Michael Sweets first solo album was fucking amazing. I have Guardian, King James, Liberty & Justice, Bloodgood and a few other Christian bands in my collection, so judging Christian music is certainly not about the message, it's just about whether the music is good or not.
    • My opinion Bite Down Hard is the best of the 2.
    • Better than the debut, I agree. But I still struggle to this day with whether Boys or Bite is the best Britny album, so I can't agree with BES being better than Boys.
    • Have to say I agree. While there are some good tracks outside the singles, overall the albums as a whole did little for me, but that compilation was a masterpiece, especially with just how many songs were on it. If I had to give up all my Ratt albums and keep only one, that would be all I need and probably would not miss the rest.
    • Another solid track; I’ll be picking this one up 👍
