The Thread Where You Talk About Music You Like

GG's later stuff is definitely hardcore punk, he didn't start that way, sure, but he got there.

I gotta agree he knew how to put out some pretty hardcore shit.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Eh, I guess. His music is badass punk through and through, that's all that really matters. Plus the man was psychotic on stage, he made late 60's and early 70's Iggy Pop look like Doris Day.

 

[CiG]

I can agree with that. One of my favourite "artists" of all time.

I think my joke was misunderstood or overlooked

Maybe but in terms of music its tough to match the attitude of albums like Fun House and Raw Power.

Freaks, Faggots, Drunks & Junkies utterly annihilates those albums, and I love them.

Naaaahhhh.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Hang on now, I love GG, but he never produced anything comparable in quality to Raw Power or Funhouse.

I got the joke, I was just busy with the conversation.

 

[CiG]

I'm more of a GG fan than I am a Stooges fan I guess.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

That's fine, I'll probably always be the other way around, but that's no slight against GG, he's magnificent.

 

[CiG]

Similarly I'm not slighting The Stooges, they're the obvious father of people like GG and their influence and greatness can't be stated enough.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Without dubiousness, yes. Iggy, although not as outright violent and dangerous as GG, was nuts in the early days himself as I'm sure you're aware, he'd jab pencils into his arms all the time and carved at his chest with a Bowie knife once, plus his crazy dancing and inventing crowd surfing and stage diving.

 

[CiG]

I was more referring to the musical similarity between The Stooges and the earliest GG music. But good point.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Well, there's that too of course. The Stooges and the MC5 essentially took garage rock, blues rock, and psychedelia and overdrove it to at the time unprecedented thresholds of intensity and velocity. Which paved the way for The New York Dolls to add the glam sleaze and cross-dressing to the mix. Then the Ramones all but reinvented the wheel, and the rest is history. G.G. basically added his own violent, mangled twist to that legacy in the 80's and 90's with his own amped up, vulgar, lo-fi sonic onslaught.

[TheMick]

I'm digging on
Big Wreck- Albatross
Stryper- Fallen ( yes, I'm being serious)
Riot- Immortal Soul
Necrophagist -Epitaph
Hangman's Crown- The Raven and the Dove ( I have no choice since I'm in the band and I have to make sure I got all the guitar rhythms and solos tight. Don't wanna suck when we play live. )
