Loki Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Status Quo's transformation from psychedelic hippies to coke snorting 3 chord rockers took about 18 months. Someone found a really GOOD hookup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted December 8, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted December 8, 2018 3 minutes ago, Keith Houchen said: When I were a lad, Anathema were this new Doom Metal band. A few years ago, a mate posted a Mogwai-esque post rock song by a band with the same name. I joked about how they were nothing like the Doom band from years ago and how it could get awkward if you went to a gig from one expecting the other. Yep, they were the same band and I got back into my box. Funnily enough, I remember someone making me a compilation with one of their songs on it, a sort of gothy type style and when I bought an album of theirs on the strength of that, and it was very doomy and shouty. I think it might have been their second album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted December 8, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 8, 2018 ive only really listened to Anathema the past couple of years, they are absolute quality now. Im not a big prog guy but Anathema sit on the right side of the fence for me. brilliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Discharge went from one of the most ferocious, politically charged and influential punk bands that defined an entire sub-genre all of their own to pissing glam rock and it wasn't even half way good glam either. They clawed their way back in more recent years and are back on that original "d-beat" sound, playing it as good as ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Loki-like Moby has been varied. From hip hop and house to Middle Class Dinner Party-core via noise punk. This sounds like something Ralphy would like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey_Piste Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I saw Moby supporting Soundgarden back in 96. I just thought it was the name of the band and not just a solo act with touring session musicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted December 8, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 8, 2018 Celebrate The Nun- a German 1980s synth wave band. The guy with the outrageous leopard print jacket and blonde mop was lead singer H P Baxxter... ...who later went on to become the hard rhymer, track attacker, mic enforcer and chick's checker for Scooter OOOER SUPER DUPER One that truly blew my mind in recent years was finding out that Grace Slick, who provided the vocals on Jefferson Airplane's psychedelic rock anthems White Rabbit and Somebody To Love, was also the lead singer for Starship. White Rabbit and Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now are so different from one another. Apparently she doesn't look back on her Starship music too fondly.

No one involved in Starship, liked the band or their output, but they had some bangers. The thing is Jefferson Airplane, became jefferson Starship, then Jefferson left adn the band got sued and had to change their name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Butternut Squash Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Talk Talk always fascinated me. New wave synth poppers grow into moody ambient jazz rock musos, or whatever the fuck genre the Laughing Stock LP is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnum Milano Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Pulp, back in 1981 when they recorded the first John Peel session and were heavily influenced by the Sheffield scene of the time: They wouldn't return for a second session until 1993 and the early throws of Britpop when the band now looked like this; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted December 9, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 9, 2018 Weird bongos and sitar neck beard hippy band Wicked Lester did an independently released album in the early 70s. 18 months later, they refsurfaced on Casablanca Records as hard rock serial shaggers KISS. Half of Wicked Lester's album would show up on KISS releases, but much heavier and more "touch womens fannies and hope I dont get sued in 40 years" based lyrics.

Paid Members gmoney Posted December 9, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted December 9, 2018 I've always thought Slade still seemed hard as fuck, same as a lot of 70s British glam bands. They've got that Adrian Street thing of "I am so fucking hard, I can dress like a poof, try and say something about it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
