The Outpost Cafe / Re: Bands Whose Early Albums Stand Out
« Last post by slinkp on April 28, 2024, 06:17:44 PM »
I love the first two Pretenders albums. Third one's decent, but it was literally never the same band after two of the founding members died ... James Honeyman Scott was a big part of the sound, and Pete Farndon was a great bass player. They had good players later, but none with that personality. After that, to me it was just "The Chrissie Hynde project with the Pretenders drummer"

Now I want to check out this documentary on them.  I remember Up With People from when I was younger, but just that it existed.  I don't remember anything about it.

Here's another fun documentary.  We used to go to this in the mid-'80s.  It was nuts.



It was indeed! I went to Action Park many times. Thankfully nobody I know got seriously injured there.

Naw, he has a prominent bald spot on the back of his pate, but changes frequently between wearing his hair short or long. Gillan isn't the type to work with hair enhancement. That was his former guitarist!

Agreed.  The logo is period-accurate.

And clairvoyant! The person who applied it knew in advance that Leo would sell to CBS three years later!

That's true, those are the Dymo labels used at that time period. Definitely a period piece....of something.

Looks like Gillan has a lot more hair than he had when I met him 8 years ago. Plugs, maybe?

John 5 is a good musician. Not that Mick mars wasn't, I always rated him as the most naturally musical guy in the Crüe.
