Liverpool's most famous grindcore* outfit. One of the best.
Shared a guitarist with Birmingham's legendary Napalm Death. Who they be!???:question:
*late eighties, earlier nineties, speed-metal/punk offshoot scene, characterised by low, distorted basslines, and incomprehensible grunted vocals that focus typically on either death, dismemberment, disgusting medical procedures that go wrong, viscera, blood, destruction and nuclear obliteration, or in the case, of the Death, anarchosyndicalist politics. Erm, not exactly pop, is it?

Alright Dave. Reckon I got that one right then.
Okay, my go.
So those Flock of Seagulls haircut offenders: from which song by what band did they get their name?
Not a Liverpool band, as it happens, but, as a clue, the lyrics of a song on their first album rather crudely namechecks Liverpool and also the city's most famous civil engineering project.
That would be from a line in the Stranglers Song "Toiler on the Sea"
One for Kev...where did Pink Floyd get their name from?
The name was made from taking the names of two old bluesmen, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. :celb (23):
What do I do now?

Correctimundo! The Stangler's Liverpool-related lyrics being from their song, "London Lady", which can be found on "Rattis Novegicus", their first long player. They go like this:
Making love to the Mersey tunnel. With a sausage! Have you ever been to Liverpool?

Right so he is an American and and is well known in the 'Rock' genre ? ..

Current album is a double album. . . . .

Hey that's a point. Does anyone know what that awsome song is called from the 3G advert?

The Vodafone advert? It's Another Girl, Another Planet by the Only Ones. Good tune. Great band generally.
Bunnyman
10-07-2006, 09:36 PM
The only Vodafone tune I know is 'Can you dig it?' by the Mock Turtles. ****e.
:D @ Bunny hehehe ..
Squiz, 'another girl another planet' was the only decent tune they ever did ;)
Squirrel
10-07-2006, 10:40 PM
:D @ Bunny hehehe ..
Squiz, 'another girl another planet' was the only decent tune they ever did ;)
Yeah, everyone says that. It's a standout tune, I'll admit, Future King of Eastbourne.
They had other decent ones tho' - the Beast, Lovers of Today. Also,
the OTT miserablism of No Peace for the Wicked and Why don't You Kill Yourself? make me smile. That semi-ironic, partly tongue in cheek wallowing in emotional trauma must have had an influence on Morrisey.
I reckon you can hear the Only Ones' influence in Suede. Don't Look Back into the Sun by the Libertines is basically a rerun of Another Girl. No one bought their records (even their most famous song tanked in the charts) but they were pretty influential on other bands.
'Another Planet' was a big hit with the early punks.. but other than that tune, nothing else stood out.. But then how could they ever top that guitar riff ..
"Future King of Eastbourne" :D
Let restart the thread.
Answer the question, set the next question.
What links Setting Sons, Sound Effects, Stanley Road?
That would be Paul Weller: Sound
Affects and Setting Sons are both albums by The Jam while Stanley Road was released by Weller as a solo artist.
Try this:
"People I see just remind me of moo-ing like a cow in the grass
and thats not to say that theres anything wrong with being a cow anyway"
Song and artist please!!
Nope......
Try
a bit closer to home......:unibrow:
I think
you have me on this wheres Bunnyman and FKoE, they are usually good at this?
you can bet your cotton socks I know who it
is, but I don't remember the song title :D
Someone must remember the Julian Cope track!!! ? ..
So it is Cope unsure the track name
It's An Elegant Chaos by Julian Cope.
Nice one John, question please!! :celb (23):
Thanks
Which musician has just published his first book entitled 'The progressive patriot, a search for
belonging' ?
The title suggests to me....erm that feller that did 'born in the usa' whatsisname :D
If you are thinking
Springsteen then No
:Colorz_Grey_PDT_24: Welcome back by the way
Nope, you willkick yourself when you realise :unibrow:
If its Julian Cope, I'll ask Kev to kick Maxy :D
Erm,
then................. Bono?
Totally 100% right
Max well done
Next question please Max
Come on Max give us a question
Typical Maxy, chips in (with a lucky answer :D )

Hawkwind coinciding with the emergance of acid house was a mad mix.
