This (The Go-Gos) is horrible!!! The way they hold, fret and pick their instruments already tells you that they can't really play. The models (the unfortunately late) Robert Palmer hired for Addicted to Love did a better job pretending to play.

BULLSHIT. Having gigged with Kathy Valentine on more than one ocassion I can assure you that she can play.

Well maybe she learned - in that vid she had just joined them and only played guitar before. I have full confidence that Ms Valentine could better her initial performance with the Go-Gos over the decades. There was seemingly ample room for improvement.  :-*

Besides, she has sued her former band buddies so that speaks for some semblance of regret in her.  :mrgreen:

Fanny wasn't anywhere near as popular as some of their old fans would like you to believe. They hardly got any airplay anywhere.

I thought the drummer was cute, then I found out she played for the other team.

I don't understand what it is that you're seeing. They just look like they're having a hard time trying to pantomime to their own music for the video shoot, but they certainly hold their instruments like they're used to playing them.

You mean she didn't play with her own Fanny?   :popcorn:

I read an article awhile after they broke up, apparently part of the dissension in the group was caused by her bringing her older lesbian lover along with her.

Yup, saw them live in Houston at the peak of their popularity - they actually played well and certainly you could tell that they were playing.  I have to say that they pulled off a pretty good show. 

As far as looks go I kinda like the slightly chubby, pre implants, Belinda and Jane Weidlin was always a little hottie in my book.

How can anybody hate the Go-Go's? To sell that many records, somebody must have thought Belinda Carlisle was cute.
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

Naw, she probably paracunnididdled. Drummers do that.
