I was just wondering how you all got involved listening to the bunnymen? Stories, anecdotes and any and all information is welcomed and appreciated! as for my story... Sad to say, I was one of those unfortunate souls who grew up listening to motley crue, poison, and the lot until I hit 16 and my first girlfriend's older brother was kind enough to show me the light. He introduced me to a healthy dose of bands like the bunnymen, the cure, the smiths, new order, etc. If only the relationship with his sister was as lasting, but hey, we were 16. So I liked the bunnymen, but was never completely into them at first. I had "songs to learn and sing" and I bought the grey album and liked them well enough. I remember getting "candleland" when I was a senior in high school and really enjoying the mood and atmosphere of that album. fast forward several years and I'm living in boston and walking down the street to work and I glance up at the marquee of the Paradise to see Echo is playing. I buy a ticket for later that evening and head to the show..... and I'm totally blown away. Intimate setting, fantastic live sound, Mac being Mac.... wow. Everything changed for me that night... I went back and revisited their albums, picked up the older ones and dove right in, headfirst without water wings. I hadn't done that since I got into the Cure back in '89. And that's my story... so what's yours? ====================================== The Official Seven-Seas Web Page. www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Jun 2003 15:18:40 -0400 From: Rob Maher Subject: seven-seas-moderated Re: seven-seas how you became bunnified Ok, I'll try to be brief. Through the '80s I had always heard of the Bunnymen, and knew some fans, but never heard them until "Lips Like Sugar" came out. I liked it, so I got the grey album. I thought the album was pretty cool. Not great, but good. Then, a year or so later a new portal was opened in my mind. Someone lent me both the 'Crocodiles' and 'Heaven Up Here' LP's at the same time. I'm sure everyone on the list would agree those albums are on an entirely different level. I taped both of them(later to buy the albums), and listened to that tape constantly for quite a long time. I was forever changed, and ever since then they have been my all time favorite band. It also happens that I think of those albums almost as one because I used to always listen to them together. Anyway, that about sums it up.
