The man is back in town…..

Great lyrics, great guitar playing who could ask for more…

(Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi)

See me ride out of the sunset
On your colour TV screen
Out for all that I can get
If you know what I mean
Women to the left of me
And women to the right
Ain’t got no gun
Ain’t got no knife
Don’t you start no fight

‘Cause I’m T.N.T., I’m dynamite
(T.N.T.) and I’ll win the fight
(T.N.T.) I’m a power load
(T.N.T.) watch me explode

I’m dirty, mean and mighty unclean
I’m a wanted man
Public enemy number one
Understand
So lock up your daughter
Lock up your wife
Lock up your back door
And run for your life
The man is back in town
So don’t you mess me ’round

‘Cause I’m T.N.T. I’m dynamite
(T.N.T.) and I’ll win the fight
(T.N.T.) I’m a power load
(T.N.T.) watch me explode

T.N.T., (oi, oi, oi)
T.N.T., (oi, oi, oi)
T.N.T., (oi, oi, oi)
T.N.T., (oi, oi, oi)
T.N.T., (oi, oi, oi) , I’m dynamite
(T.N.T., oi, oi, oi), and I’ll win the fight,
(T.N.T., oi, oi, oi), I’m a power load
(T.N.T.), watch me explode

neil young is pure genius

Turn the Page…

Seeing as the Rip it up ep comes out on November 21st that means some more live gigs will be on the way so here’s a blog on touring/gigs.

This metallica song is a cover of a bob seger song, anybody whos ever done alot of gigging in a rock n roll band will get the lyrics to this.

Bob Seger Turn The Page Lyrics

On a long and lonesome highway
East of Omaha
You can listen to the engine
Moanin’ out his one note song
You can think about the woman
Or the girl you knew the night before
But your thoughts will soon be wandering
The way they always do
When you’re ridin’ sixteen hours
And there’s nothin’ much to do
And you don’t feel much like ridin’,
You just wish the trip was through

Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin’ star again
There I go
Turn the page

Well you walk into a restaurant,
Strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you
As you’re shakin’ off the cold
You pretend it doesn’t bother you
But you just want to explode

Most times you can’t hear ‘em talk,
Other times you can
All the same old cliches,
“Is that a woman or a man?”
And you always seem outnumbered,
You don’t dare make a stand

Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin’ star again
There I go
Turn the page

Out there in the spotlight
You’re a million miles away
Every ounce of energy
You try to give away
As the sweat pours out your body
Like the music that you play

Later in the evening
As you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers
Ringin’ in your head
You smoke the day’s last cigarette,
Rememberin’ what she said

Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin’ star again
There I go
Turn the page

Here’s scott weiland in his prime this performance and amazing connection with the crowd blows me away everytime..

Grand funk victory dance

If this video doesn’t make the bbc bring back top of the pops then nothing will!

“Victory Dance” By My Morning Jacket

Should I close my eyes and prophesize
Hoping maybe some day come
Should I wet the ground with my own tears
Crying over what’s been done

Should I lift the dirt and plant the seed
Even though I’ll never grow
Should I wet the ground with the sweat from my brow
And believe in my good work
My good work
My good work
My good work

Hey there, I’m flying up above
Looking down on the tired earth
And I can see, I can see potential
Speaking through you, speaking to you
From all of heaven’s possibilities

Power, hey do you know how it works
Hey do you know that the meek,
They shall inherit the earth
You should work, you should work
(?) than the memory

Should I hit the water or stay on dry land
Even though I’ve never swam
Take machete into the brush
Though at first there is no path

Taste the war paint on my tongue
As it’s dripping with my sweat
Place my gaze in the future’s path
Seeing things that ain’t come yet

Hope to watch the victory dance
After whole day’s work is done
Hope to watch the victory dance
In the evening’s setting sun

Hope to watch the victory dance
Over many lives to come
Hope to watch the victory dance
In the evening’s setting sun

Setting sun
Setting sun
Setting sun

Hope to dance the victory dance
After whole day’s work is done
Hope to dance the victory dance
In the evening’s setting sun

Hope to dance the victory dance
Over many lives to come
Hope to dance the victory dance
In the evening’s setting sun

Here’s the audio for the track turn this up one of the best things to come out this year.

Here’s some other great tunes…

This is an awesome performance make sure you watch it all the way through

I want my rock stars dead…..

I was going to do a blog just featuring some cool psychedelic sounds i’d been listening to latley but i couldnt let the sad death of amy winehouse go unmentioned.

It’s such a shame she couldn’t find her way through to make some more music but when you are blessed with that much talent you are usually cursed aswell. She was a true rock star!

After his nice piece about her here’s amy on the russell brand show.

Here’s some very cool tunes to freak out to kids!

There’s nothing in my dreams….

Gimme Danger by Iggy and the Stooges

gimme danger, little stranger

and I’ll give you a piece
gimme danger, little stranger
and I’ll feel your disease

there’s nothing in my dreams
Just some ugly memories
kiss me like the ocean breeze

(hey!)

Now if you will be my lover
i will shiver insane
but if you can be my master
i will do anything

there’s nothing left to life
but a pair glassy eyes
raze my feelings one more time

(yeah!)

find a little strip and find a little stranger
yeah you’re gonna feel my hand

said:
I got a little angel, want a little danger
honey you’re gonna feel my hand
swear you’re gonna feel my hand
swear you’re gonna feel my hand

gimme danger
little stranger
gimme danger
little stranger
gimme danger
little stranger

gimme danger
little stranger

gimme danger
little stranger

can you feel me?
you gotta feel me!
you gotta feel this

little stranger…

Dirty Jobs by the who

I am a man who looks after the pigs
Usually I get along okay.
I am man who reveals all he digs,
Should be more careful what I say.

I’m getting put down,
I’m getting pushed round,
I’m being beaten every day.
My life’s fading,
But things are changing,
I’m not gonna sit and weep again.

I am man who drives a local bus
I take miners to work, but the pits all closed today.
It’s easy to see that you are one of us.
Ain’t it funny how we all seem to look the same?

We’re getting put down etc.

My karma tells me
You’ve been screwed again.
If you let them do it to you
You’ve got yourself to blame.
It’s you who feels the pain
It’s you that takes the shame.

I am a young man
I ain’t done very much,
You men should remember how we used to fight.
Just like a child, I’ve been seeing only dreams,
I’m all mixed up but I know what’s right.

I’m getting put down

britains got talent???

I don’t have a massive problem with shows like xfactor and britains got talent its easy to choose not to watch them although the fact they are selling people false dreams to fill there own pockets (Mr Cowell) is abhorrent.

The main problem is they are really the only two mainstream music shows that expose people to music and any song they feature climbs up the charts.

Jools holland is an amazing show that has helped launch the career of some good musicians but its hardly on at primetime.

We need more music shows on tv, if all people get is mediocre covers of old songs how will anything new get any exposure.

Is bringing back top of the pops the answer? maybe,  maybe not.

Anyway thats enough moaning here’s the genius that was bill hicks a great comedian with some very serious points, how we could do with him around today.

NB the following videos all contain swearing.

ps.

If you missed it here’s the first song from the new e.p.

It’s called Tiny timmy

Almost cut my Hair

by David Crosby,  as found on

Almost cut my hair It happened just the other day

It’s gettin kinda long I could have said it was in my way

But I didn’t and I wonder why I feel like letting my freak flag fly

Cause I feel like I owe it to someone

Must be because I had the flu’ for Christmas And I’m not feeling up to par

It increases my paranoia Like looking in my (rear-view) mirror and seeing a police car

But I’m not giving in an inch to fear Cause I promised myself this year

I feel like I owe it to someone

When I finally get myself together

I’m going to get down in that sunny southern weather

And I find a place inside a laugh

Separate the wheat from the chaff

I feel like I owe it to someone
