My son, his girl friend, their music, my basses, cameos at 1.37 and 2.02 ...  8)



PS: I've always been a non-smoker, yet my parents smoked, now the next generation has reversed that syndrome ...  :-\

Nice cameos of Ze Kolleckshun (SP).

Nice music, too!  

This reminds me of what a relief it is to no longer be in my teens and 20's, relieved of the urge to look trendy all the time.

(But I never had abs like that!)

Well he's certainly grown up.  .... and you let him touch the basses with those smokey fingers.   :o

This is Roshina's sphere of interest and her first thought was the singers voice is close to the girl in Hunter Valentine...

She can also catch White Stripes and Queens of the Stone Age influences...

Another one is this...

... a hint of the Veronicas (vocally) ...

Rhythmically like ...

Kasabian's Empire, Smashing Pumpkin's Zero, Blur's Song 2, Cranberrie's Zombie...

Overall, she approves and enjoyed it... "it's not unique... but it's something I'd listen to..."

A very European clip.

Would love to see the X-rated outtakes.
Cheers

This takes me back. Those were great years when smoking felt rebellious, music was exciting and you're not yet Jaded . My muse was a French au paire From Lille, and I thought I was the coolest rocker around at 17.
Beautiful burst on the EB-2!
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

Does this mean Leon's glam days are over? He looks normal now!

Nice video, best of luck to them.

I like it!
No autotune, real musicians, yay!

Your son sure looks a lot better than I did when I was his age...........I'm the eternally awkward ugly duckling  :)

Having met Mark, I can tell you he's a handsome guy, and much too modest in that comment!

OTOH, we never perceive ourselves as others do.

Very cool clip and tune.  Drinking wine is a good look, and yes that EB is a stunner.

My lizard son has shedded his skin once more ... When he/they moved from London to Berlin, neither the band nor the 80ies glam look lasted for long, Berlin is not a glam city (but a cultural melting pot in other ways). It dawned on him that looking like a mix between Guns & Roses and Pretty Boy Floyd in 2013 was slightly retro and not very urban for Berlin standards (kind of as if glam had sprung up in NYC), not in sync with the times either. And of course Katharina (the singer/girl friend) had a gentle hand of influence too, you know how women are!

And her comments and comparisons are pretty apt!

A refin from Canada that feels sticky to this day! But somehow I always liked the look.
