Motorhead had a few great classic metal albums. Never was big on them but 'Overkill' is a classic. 

I know the name but nothing pops into my head. My sister was well aware though just like she knew the name of the shredder dude with the name I can't say or spell who everyone worships. 

He wasn't the best singer ever, but Motorhead had a great raw sound. Hard to believe they were a trio too. Lots of talent in there. 

Whoa, that is trippy..lol

The entire video is a trip itself. Old Tom Cruise meets young Tom Cruise!

Pacino fans like me can finally sleep well at night knowing our dreams of a Carlito Brigante/Tony Montana meeting are fulfilled.

That is awesome CC1. That is what I love about this forum. I have had similar situations with others on here. It is really nice to help one another.

That's a swell offer, and I appreciate your kindness but I'm alright. I bought the Amazon CD copy a few years back (where Amazon prints you out an out of print CD).

I just notice when you browse MCA/Chess Records, you can find just about anything from Chess greats, I find it odd that Chuck Berry album went out of print. It's the one record with all his big hits on it.

I tried to hit the like button....FAIL

Can I blame Facebook on that? LOL

LIKE HA HA. I hope you are feeling better to Bogie!!

No, I'm referring to Jake Lloyd's recent speeding arrest.

I had not heard about the arrest I guess. Thanks Bogie.

The jokes write themselves with him.

Yes it is. That entire album is in fact.

Funk & seduction mixed with a memorable chorus. Woo Hoo Hoo Hoo! It's very addictive. The chorus I mean not happy hour, honey, or rollercoasters. Well, let me rephrase. On 2nd thought, maybe not.

It's the album "Honey" by the Ohio Players, classic record. I rediscovered a few nights ago and been listening to it non stop.

It's a shot at the Hawks this time.

I am happy for Lebron, would have never said it a year ago. It just feels right, him being home . The team chemistry of the Cavs surprises me.

As bad as they played AT HOME in the playoffs, I thought for a while that was the Falcons.

Neither did I. The hair dye sure does make wonders work for him

I thought he was younger. But, then again the Holy Spirit fills him with so much youthful exuberance that attracts us all to his glorious presence.

I bet Tebow getting with the Eagles is part of God's gift to Murdock for his birthday as well.

I can tweet him and ask him (doubt he'd respond but just for the lols)

5 days of non stop raining so far

Ouch Bogie. All that precipitation reminds me of Seattle. Should I send you some galoshes & 2 dozen umbrellas ASAP? Just Kidding! Quack, quack, quack.

Seattle often competes with the Gulf Coast in terms of statistics on who gets the most rain yearly.

lol I can attest that it is possible too now.  I heard your work.

Thank you Jules! I work hard on those recordings. Still need to learn how to edit them on the multi-track editor. My next learning project. 

HOJ is sounding good lately!

The double sided discs. Seen them called "flippers" in an Amazon review earlier. 

Oh I see, I don't have real experience with those to be honest. My sister would. 

I've got a few DVD sets with them. Universal seems to package them often with doubles. So far, no problems. I'm just curious after reading so many Amazon reviews with them having errors. 

Best Windows I think they've ever made. Anything that XP, Vista, and 7 couldn't get to run with old programs, I've managed to get them all to work so far in a week of using 10. 

windows lost me, switched to mac and am living happily ever after

I could never afford a Mac, but I would get one if possible since they are so much easier to use with Apple products like the iPod. 

Chuck Berry was around forever like BB King. It really is sad to see him go. Now only Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis remain living from that old era, and as for the Blues, we got Otis Rush and Buddy Guy still with us (Buddy who has now been grandfathered into that role of "king of the Blues" since BB passed).

Chuck Berry outlived BB King, that was a surprise to me. I thought he was a few years younger.

I imagine for your father, he was the coolest thing in the world back then. Just watching videos of Chuck Berry is a great pleasure. 

Worth noting; Chuck Berry's 12 bar blues style of rhythm playing rocker songs is so influential. You hear it in practically everything. While he didn't invent the 12 bar blues, he certainly influenced how it's used - fast paced for a rocker. 

The Rolling Stones used his style of 12 bar blues rockers a lot. Even Bowie's Suffragette City uses the 12 bar straight out of the playbook. 

Thanks for starting this status update on Chuck Berry Bogie. I have a great deal of respect for the diversity of your historical musical knowledge across a variety of genres. I sincerely mean that. I'm not exaggerating either. 

I appreciate that nugget you shared on how Berry's death affected your father too Jules. 

I have Japan's album 'Quiet Life', was listening to it yesterday when I posted this.

For a band, they owe a great deal of their sound to Mick Karn. Brilliant bass player, I'll praise him to high heaven cause he deserves it. He was the one thing that made their band a bit unique, remove him from the picture and they would just be a generic New Wave band. Karn did some work with Kate Bush and Gary Numan. With Numan, the song "Subway Called You" really showcases what a fantastic bass player he was.

It's almost too blatant how he copies Bowie to me.  From movements to sound to looks......I mean sheesh........

 

The song itself isn't bad if you don't have to look at the Bowie poseur though.

There are many, many, many David Bowie imitators in the music world. From the 70's on up, for the past 4 decades, there has been various Bowie wannabes. They still exist in today's age too.

Some are more obvious than others, and some that begin as Bowie imitators can sometimes turn out to be brilliant artists. But David Sylvian is one of the more blatant ones. He's not the #1 in that category, but definitely is up there among Bowie wannabes. 

You can't copy Bowie since Bowie had a unique gorgeousness and soul that was un-matchable.

Many try and many fail

and Emily Haines has the voice of an angel.

She does kinda, you are right. It is kind of this innocent angelic sound.But I just have listened to one song so far.

Indie bands are usually a hit and miss. Many of them tend to be hipster junk or loud, noisy grunge nostalgia. 'Metric' has a more civilized sound, great production and all around very well organized. 

Also helps that Emily Haines is a terrific singer. I love her voice!

I have never been too familiar with Indie bands. Like you said a ton of it is hipster junk or some I have listened to sound like Nirvana clones like they are trying to sound like the album "Bleach" from their garages.  

This girl is pretty good, Emily Haines. Very pretty sincere voice.

OMG I actually did watch the entire video.  

My fave part actually is the terrible towels on the newborn babies. I almost wish I had a still photo of that. I mean are you kidding me? That looks like CHILD ABUSE, those poor babies. Those towels could be DIRTY too.

And then after they show a wedding with everyone holding up those stupid towels.  Probably use them at funerals too.

Well if there is one thing I have going for me this year it's rooting against these clowns. I despise them. Most hate the Pats more, but not me. Steelers are #1. They are the crud of the Earth and for all we know they even win the Super Bowl this season.

But it will be tough to win it all for them.

If we went 1-15 and beat the Steelers to me thats a good season.

And that rap music, omg.........WHY.  It makes me prefer to listen to Shaq rap instead since he wasn't even that bad at it really.

Thanks for posting this. 

Oh yeah the part with the babies wrapped up in the towel is sad.  I've heard about that for years but never believed it until I seen it. 

My favorite part though is Le'veon Bell's crappy rap music. WHY YOU HATIN ON ME should be his nickname. 

Big Ben got married and had kids as a PR move though 

And it even shows the Neil O'Donnell pick six they act like never happened. WORST PICK SIX EVER in the SB....I know the Tracy Porter INT hurt but seriously, that one was way worse and is still funny. You have to see that clip, there was no one there, O'Donnell literally gave that to them gift wrapped. 

God I hate the Steelers, same here. My #1 AFC team I hate more than anything, never liked them ever. I like certain historical players on their teams (Bradshaw, Swann, Rod Woodson, Bill Cowher) but I hate that team so much, and I felt so bad for the Colts losing to them in 2005. I know that had to be painful.

Honestly that was odd. He was literally accused of rape and I thought he was single. And then a few weeks later he had this picture perfect family.  

I love the Steelers too and their classy image and this video shows how many bad things most of them have done.

Haunting image with those babies with the terrible towels.

NBA stars rap better.  Or I just like them more with it.

^^

That always cracked me up.

I will be back later. Just got home. Dodging off and on rain storms and thunder today that happens in spurts. Yikes. Nothing bad, just annoying.

This hurricane coming btw looks like a BEAST.

I haven't heard yet Bogie, but I list to it on You Tube & offer my feedback on it soon. Thanks for the heads up.

It's good if you like his funky stuff. It's got a real nice R&B rhythm that sounds updated.

Prince is a strange musician. I've bought several of his albums from the 80's and enjoyed every one of them but never could figure him out in recent years.

I agree Bogie ever since Prince dropped his name & became a symbol; I have no idea what to make of his musical creativity or choices. I still need to check out his new song. I have preoccupied with a family matter lately, but I will get to hearing the new track very soon I promise. You have my word.

Got that right!!

Oh!! And what else was made that year 1954 that is even better? Meeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Heeeee!!!Heeeee!!!

I would have never guessed you were born that year. I want one of those 50's series strats bad! They are the only ones that come in Fiesta Red anymore, and you can easily pick up a Freddie King/early Clapton tone from it - and people say Les Pauls and Fenders are total opposites LOL

Yes, but who's the sherif Bob Marley or Eric Clapton. My lame attempt at an "I shot the sherif" Joke Bogie. Ha! Ha!

They both can be the sheriff for today, the deputy is still alive. It's always a good day when you see someone go to jail for tax fraud! They think they can hide forever

And they were brought in by Car 54!

That's awesome and a huge relief for you as well. I hope you are already feeling better.

Fantastic Bogie! SW1 is really happy for you buddy. How appropriate that on Valentine's Day you get access to medical coverage. Nice!

Yes it made an awesome Valentine's Day, I've needed to have my back looked at for over a year now, it's great to finally have it worked on again.

then you didn't check this out

or this!!

Finally, those are nice. Someone that's NOT trying to be Jimi in a cover and actually sounds original.

Innervisions is "the" one to have.

I agree, used to have it over a decade ago, was one of my favorite albums. I liked Talking Book too and Hotter Than July. You can never go wrong with his 70's stuff.

"For Once In My Life" drop your "Superstition" would ya? No one needs to call me "Sir Duke" around here. "Stay Gold" Stevie. Stay Gold.

Reminds me of this

OWWW HOT IN THE HOT TUB! http://www.filmoa.com/video/eddie-murphy-as-james-brown

LOL back when Eddie Murphy was funny!

great song (original) and I quote this Eddie Murphy as JB all the time... great minds!

Wow that's an oldie but a goodie!

good stuff

A deep favorite of mine, the cocaine song and freddie's dead.

Would say Rubber Soul would be up there as underrated for them. One Beatles fan to another!

There's nothing in the Beatles cannon that I would consider "underrated" considering how over exposed they really are. Rubber Soul is probably my fav by them though, though Drive my Car is pretty stupi eerr silly.

I always believed it was their first golden album. It was a huge step up from the previous records, but I call it underrated solely based on the exposure the more important albums receive. I love Drive My Car, but it needs more cow bell!!
