Iggy & The Stooges in NYC, 8/8 - www.terminal5nyc.com/calendar/show/1689/

Hi Ian,

I have BC "Lions" somewhere.  I'll try to find it.  Do you have it? 

I like BC ok, but not a huge fan. 


Btw, I don't like the down-hill slide of Kate Moss since she left Chris R.


FG!

I suppose the Unholy Trinity is Omnipresent and cannot under any circumstances technically hijack a thread, or even be told off in the unlikely event of doing so ?????     


Ian, back to your question: I don't know when Iggy Pop will tour again, but I caught him on the Isle of Wight Festival two weekends ago, and I honestly don't think he should. I'll give him my thumbs-up any day for stamina, energy and sweat-gland power, and I'm sure he's a nice man, but the music was shit, I'd rather see Gazza's favourite artist, Jon Bon Jovi....

DO I HAVE THE BLACK CROWES LIONS ???...!!!!!!!

Have it, I ADORE it. The production is amazing. If you want a thick, Zepplin-esk, meaty, powerful guitar sound, with Beatle-esk songwriting towards the end of the album, mixed with a few good Black Crowes Southern Style Rock tunes ....  You have come to the right place=LIONS

By the way... It may just be my favorite "sounding" album of all time from a recording/production standpoint.

Also by the way.... I was never, a Black Crowes, Beatles, or Led Zepplin real Fan. They were all alright in my book and each has material I like well enough but I was never crazy over any of them.

But Don Was took the best of these three bands and brought it out of The Black Crowes on the LIONS CD.

I still listen to it about once a week or maybe every few weeks because of the quality of the recording/production.

The mixing by Chris Lord-Alge on "Losing My Mind" is superb. The Production by Don Was is simply fantastic.

The songs are pretty good as well. Most are good enough tunes with a few pretty darn good ones in terms of songwriting. I am not nuts over the Black Crowes earlier works.

It was too generic of a Stones/Faces mix yet wasn't totally authentic, or as good.

However Don Was pulled a sound out of The Crowes I did not think was possible. Great Album.
