Members john_p_t Posted June 15, 2010 Members Share Posted June 15, 2010 Yikes Actually, we could re-ignite the Clapton debate here, couldn't we? What with that frankly noncy cover of the Blind Faith LP. What the {censored} was that about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bsman Posted June 15, 2010 Members Share Posted June 15, 2010 I wasn't aware Social D were an 80s band. I'd never heard of 'em until the 90s.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members john_p_t Posted June 15, 2010 Members Share Posted June 15, 2010 There's a U2 cover back in the first few pages somewhere. I think you could probably say Rattle and Hum is a rock LP. That's about 89 isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members john_p_t Posted June 15, 2010 Members Share Posted June 15, 2010 Don't dig it myself, but I can see that you could make the case. I only like Achtung Baby by U2. That's the only time they've ever sounded anything other than staggeringly self-concious to me. I can't stand em most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members john_p_t Posted June 15, 2010 Members Share Posted June 15, 2010 I might listen if you tell me the absolute rockingest track on it. Well... bear in mind that I think they suck. But on Rattle and Hum there's a (lame, in my view) cover of Helter Skelter by The Beatles, and When Love Comes to Town and Angel of Harlem are both about as rock and roll as they get. Actually, I quite like Angel of Harlem, I'll give them that one. It's a mix of new (at the time) songs, live stuff and cover versions. It's the closest they ever got to having a good time.

Members scuzzo Posted June 15, 2010 Members Share Posted June 15, 2010 I think it's a reasonable requirement that Rock should, well, rock, in order to earn the hallowed title. Dire Straits and The Cars Do Not Rock. In a bad way. Metal doesn't rock either, but in a really good way. The Metal is The Metal. You know? well on be half of all the mouse pushers on all the silly music boards all over the whole internetz... i would just like to think you for providing us a being judge and jury on what rocks and is not rock... bit presumptuous.. i would say..to think you and you alone can say "this rocks" but this "no rocks"party on garth..

I've done a bit of work for Future Publishing over the last few years. Entertainingly, on the Metal Hammer side of the office, they all refer to the Classic Rock side of the office as "The Crock".

Members k tone Posted June 15, 2010 Members Share Posted June 15, 2010 As I recall that movie (rattle and hum) was pretty tedious to sit through as well. I don't mind the rest of the band but Bono is an arrogant prick (just don't say that over in HCFX). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members john_p_t Posted June 15, 2010 Members Share Posted June 15, 2010 As I recall that movie (rattle and hum) was pretty tedious to sit through as well. {censored} yes. It's no Song Remains The Same, that's for damn sure. Not a wizard in sight, and mostly in black and white. As a movie, it is made of solid uptight suckage. Some good tracks on it though, even I will admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will become that in due course. First we need to argue about what does and doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
