  1. There's only one man for the job 1- Looks like a rock star 2- Several genuinely high-quality albums under his belt 3- Undeniably powerful voice 4- Doesn't take himself too seriously 5 - Actually enjoys it Mr Steven Tyler
  2. I have many.... "There's nothing nice in my head The adult world took it all away" (From Despair to Where - The Manic Street Preachers) "I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing" (Faster - The Manic Street Preachers) "See I love to spend my days just a squirrel-hunting Go see my cousin Ellie May and get some good lovin'" (Born to be a Hick - Kid Rock) "You're bad to the bone And your girlfriend agrees That falling in love is so hard on the knees" (Falling in Love is so Hard on the Knees - Aerosmith)
  3. People who like Punk are generally prettier and get laid more.
  4. He's a rock and roll hero, the last time I saw him he looked like a very tall Billy Idol lookalike. This looks like the best line-up I've seen for a very,very long time: Rat Daddy : Rock and Roll machines. Tijuana Switchblades : Long have I waited to see this band Radio Lucifer : Ditto (except not so long cause they're newer) KLATB : Easily one of Aberdeen's most uniquely twisted bands I will move Heaven and or Earth to go to this show (may not be possible).
  5. Frank Sinatra - That's Life
  6. That was indeed me, in the tasteful leopard print ensemble. You missed out on Me,Tom and Kielan tearing our way through such classics and Anarchy in the UK and My Generation.
  7. You missed out the Polyfuze Method (1993) and Early Mornin' Stoned Pimp (1996), but still, good taste, Kid Rocks owns the show
  8. It begs the question, if it's a "Conservative" punk site, what on Earth makes it punk? Surely making it Conservative in political ideals ( a primarily right-winged political notion), what associates it with the very-left wing orientated world of punk music? Does one of it's supporters have spikey hair and a wee tattoo?
  9. The Ramone's - It's Alive! The Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks The Cramps - Big Beat from Badsville (Probably more of a Psychobilly album,but it's still more Punk that anything made in the last few years anyway) Rancid - And Out Come the Wolves..... NOFX - White Trash, Two Heebs and a Bean Rocket From the Crypt - Scream Dracula, Scream! Green Day - Insomniac
  10. Exactly, why is reproduction the only reason for sex? And if every single couple had children, we'd end up with maximum child number legislations as in China at the moment, the whole thing would be chaos.
  11. Even if the notion that Homosexuality is unnatural is in some "scientific" way correct, why does it matter? In a society that changes and develops so rapidly, why does everything have to be perfectly natural? In ancient Greece, Homosexuality was the norm, Men would have sex with woman to reproduce and have sex with other men purely for pleasure. I think Homosexuality is perfectly natural and acceptable, why shouldn't it be? What I find completely unacceptable is fashionable Sexuality and excessive over promotion of one's sexuality. I know a good few gay and Bisexual people through social circle's, unfortunately for the gay community, for every 5 or so completely nice, normal behaving friendly gay guy's/girls, there's one complete clown, who's only intent in life is to promote the fact that they are so sexually liberated and are generally very loud and play up to the role of the gay guy. They also seem to think it's acceptable to kiss and grope my girlfriend because "they're gay and it's just a bit of fun", when queried if it would be just a bit of fun if I kissed their boyfriend, you get some nonsense from them about being Homophobic. It is this new trend of fake sexual liberation and pseudo-sexuality that is completely undermining the fight that genuine Gay/Bi people have had to be accepted in society. This new fashionable Bisexuality thing is incredibly offensive to genuine Bisexual people who do actually exist. I don't believe that everyone is Bisexual, Bisexuality is a perfectly valid (albiet confusing) sexuality, It is people equally attracted physically and emotionally to members of both sexes, it is however tough for people to admit their Bisexuality without being labelled as "trying to be fashionable" which is patronising and degrading to what they have to live with. As for people who completely undermine that struggle of Bisexual people by claiming to be Bisexual after kissing or having sex with a member of the same sex once or twice, they can fuck right off. As for the whole Gay Pride thing, I don't particularly agree with it. I think Sexuality, as tough and important as it can be, is on the whole a completely trivial subject which does not merit this carnival atmosphere to celebrate it. I agree with the aspect of bringing together people who have had to struggle in the past and want to feel a sense of community, but I think it does more to promote segregation between the straight and gay community than unify it.
  12. I think that's a pretty fair point but worded wrongly. I don't think people are "turning" Homosexual or Bisexual as that's not possible, I do think that this recent increase in public Homosexuality/Bisexuality has led to people who are actually gay/bi being far more open about it and other people who are competely straight, pretending to be gay. I personally find that hugely insensitive, and if I were gay, I'd find it incredibly offensive. I think sexuality is pretty grey, not straight down the middle black and white. I don't think anyone should be ashamed or proud of their sexuality, just the shame as no-one should be proud (or ashamed) of gender. I find people who constantly harp on about being opressed because of sexuality or gender, just as infuriatingly boring as people who opress because of gender or sexuality. I can't be bothered with Feminists,Gay Right's Activists or Homophobic or Sexist people, all these groups do is further the divide between Gay/Straight/Bisexual/Transgender/Men/Woman, something as trivial as sexuality and gender is not worth all this hassle,opression or protesting. I think it's absolutely ridiculous that Bisexuality has become fashionable. This "we're totally fucking sexually liberated and carefree" attitude by this new-wave of teenage Fauxmosexuals and Lipstick Lesbians is stomach-churning, and a complete fucking insult too real Bisexual people. I think Madonna and Britney Spears should spend a week as Sandy Tokvig's love slaves for their "kiss" at the MTV thing. Everyone who thinks Gender or Sexuality are important for better or worse, bore me.
  13. If the heckling is humorous and not just blankly offensive or stupid then it can be fun. My favourite personal heckling experience was shouting "Play Jailhouse Rock" at a rather loud Emo/Post-Hardcore band. Unfortunately the band did not respond and the heckler was left with no Elvis at all.
  14. Agreed. I still can't listen to Generation Terrorists/Gold Against the Soul/The Holy Bible without being at a complete loss as to how someone can write lyrics that clever and that thought provoking. Superb vocabulary, unbelivably smart and still bleak as a blackout. Genius. Some of my other favourites are ; Zach De La Rocha (The angriest lyrics this side of Arlo Guthrie) Bob Dylan (self-explanatory) Lux Interior - The Cramps (Sleazy PVC B-Movies in lyrical form) Steven Tyler (If you ignore the comedy stuff like Dude Looks Like a Lady and Love in an Elevator, he can write some really poetic stuff)
  15. Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Why is everyone wearing... Fuck. I knew the forehead tattoo and the custom paint job on the Clio was going to be one step too far.
  16. Del, I salute you in the highest form for putting Matt Bianco on that list. I notice no-one else agreed, if only they knew.
  17. In the last one, Jonny looks like some form of terrifying Satanic rock n roll fiend. Even if the music is awful (which I'm sure it's not), atleast they look good.
