now this is getting back to the age old arguement of rock stars vs musicians. the crue were rock stars and i have no problem admitting that a lot of their fame is from their actions and attitude, but then again, whose isn't? but del, you're labelling the crue as being a bunch of washed up has beens still sporting the same look they had in the 80s which is untrue. the hair is shorter, the spandex is gone and like i've said before, at least nikki and tommy look really good now. they're reminiscent of the backyard babies, or, well, my boyfriend. in any case, they're a fucking great band who i can't wait to see live, especially given that i was about 8 the first time round and thus far too young to go to one of their shows. and i liked them well before i liked the darkness.

it is ridiculous. my mum had to get a florida driver's licence when her and my dad were buying a car out there a few years ago, cos i think it was cheaper to florida residents (ie people who hold a florida licence and have an address there). she was asked to park into a space so she asked whether it was a reverse park or standard and got a look that clearly said 'don't be a smartass' from the instructor.

i disagree. all beautiful south would win is dull MOR for middle aged folk.

he's been fat for a while. the video for primal scream is great because he's topless and so sucking in to no avail. fantastic viewing. anyone else see him guest starring on the chris isaak show?

yep! i dunno if i wanna attempt the dangerous lethal list. i may be a bit girly for that.

Nikki Sixx is actually really fucking hot now that he's off the heroin once and for all, Vince Neil's a fat bastard, Tommy Lee doesn't look too bad either, and Mick Mars has always and will always look 800 years old. To me, Motley songs still get my heart going and make me wanna get up and dance. A lot of the stuff they did in like 2001 is actually really good and sounds relevant today. Stuff like Afraid and Hell on High Heels. But when someone says they'd rather see The Beautiful South than Motley, I know their opinion doesn't count in a Motley discussion.

yeah power ballads they are not. a couple of the brides tracks are totally balls out rock n roll but as a whole, i'd say velvet revolver did a lot better with their debut.

yeah but it was really funny.

fuck off, i think the album kicks ass! righteous rock n roll. it's better than the brides album (as much as i love the brides.)

Velvet Revolver are playing a free unannouced show on the roof of the Hustler Store on Sunset Blvd today, exclusively for Trashy Lingerie members, of which I am one. I just got the e-mail invite today. Goddamn it!

chris was using pint glasses, ashtrays and fliers in the pub last night in a bid to form a successful strategy to beat the geonosis level.

thank you.

Yeah but how many British people do you get emmigrating to the south of France or Spain and living in little ex-pat colonies with other Brits, doing British things and speaking loudly in broken English whenever they want to buy something or get something done. I don't think you should force people to push away their own culture in order to adapt to a different way of life.

chris always says that!
