Oi !! I'll have you know that I've spent more than one night out on the piss with Bernie Marsden and Neil Murray ( and also Mel Galley ). I booked their band MGM to play The Fleece in Bristol back in the mid 80's. This was way before the Fleece became a circuit venue, but we had some good bands play nonetheless Whitesnake's Mean Business was as good a track as any punk/alternative tune of the time. Stu "K.P.

Oh, and The Bends is for sure one of the best rock albums ever, and I would also include Burned up there too. It still doesn't get the recognition it deserves IMHO..

It doesn't effect me and my life, although I too can do a superb strop when called upon. Most of the bands I *like* have at least one moody person and one loudmouth, and sometimes it's the same person. Perhaps it's as simple as the fact that you can sometimes describe *me* in those terms. I feel so damned inferior and *weird* surrounded by Shiny Happy People -- I hang with the Mormons cos we both collect dead people, and the glucose level is pretty darned high. I honestly think that most serious Bunnyfans have had some less-than- happy lives and that being drawn to the darkness of the music is a way that many have coped. Not all, but many. OH, and I too would love to see Thom Yorke at least *lend* Mac some of his upper range. :-) Can it be bought? :-) ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2003 13:39:01 -0500 (CDT) From: amyr@jump.net (Amy Moseley Rupp) Subject: Re: seven-seas Back on Sevenseas and Ian'snew album > Oh, and "Love In Veins" is one of the best songs on Slideling, I think. > Total Lou vibe, nice tossed-off lyrics, implied swagger. You kidz is > from > Mars or sumthin. I *am* from Mars and have said so. Don't fancy it. But I've only given the album one complete listen, so reserve the right to change my minds. A couple of the songs struck me as sounding best left in the demo bin, and overall the engineering sounds worse than _Candleland_ upon first listen. I'm a *very* hard critic on first listen/look. Okay, Chris, here's a question for you (man, I keep typing your name as Christ because of the pattern under my fingers, so if you see that, I'm *not* swearing at you): Do you think any of the Radiohead albums are better than _Ocean Rain_? I'm appalled at the thought, but there are at least *two* people who are convinced or somewhat convinced that this is so, and both huge bunnyfans. Chew on it. ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ End of seven-seas-digest V2 #185 ********************************
