[svgallery name=”newyorkdolls”] Here is the updated version of the photos.

Here is the band’s official web page on Roadrunner Records where I go through to find BlabberMouth to read metal news.

Favorite Johansen quote about new record which was recorded in 14 days.
“That’s twice as long as our first album so it’s twice as good.” My

Lydon on Brit Music Awards

As previously reported on MusicFilter, John Lydon had this to say in response to the Brit Music Awards request for the Pistols to play and recieve a lifetime achievement award.

“I don’t wanna know. And yet again, I can tell you this, they haven’t approached us! Exactly the same scenario, they think they can just come along and use us. We’re not a prop. We were never anyone’s prop, right! I never did this for awards, and never will. I go along with what people vote. And that’s corporate, so not interested. If they find themselves in a dull arse predicament, it’s because they didn’t listen in the first place. All they had to be was honest. They’re just trying to gleam some kind of creditability, but through the back door! And unlike them, Johnny Rotten ain’t no backdoor Johnny! (laughs) The British Music awards, they’ve depended on arseholes for so long, and now the only person they can really blame for getting the music industry into a state of arseholes is themselves. It’s too late to come back here and go, “Oh, help us out.” They’re wasting their own time, and they’ve been doing that for a long time! (laughs) If they’re a lame duck it’s not our fault. Sorry, if you think your country is a lame duck, don’t come back to me, I told you this a long time ago. (laughs) I actually wrote something that meant something, and had a serious effect on society as a whole, and way people viewed things. That’s a lifetime achievement unlike any other pop band; and it’s not down to trivia. It just isn’t. So I’m not interested. Just not interested.”

Guns and Roses to play club in Lafayette

The Daily Advertiser reports the story. Could it be true?

Honeytribe featuring Devon Allman – yes, that Allman family – is set to bring its own brand of sweet, abrasive, soulful, down home bluesy rock to 307 Downtown at 8 p.m. Monday. The show features special guest, local artist Jackson Scott.Tickets are $10. But what could possibly make seeing Gregg Allman’s son carry on the family tradition while cutting a new niche for himself in the music industry any sweeter? How about a chance to score tickets to a May 26 concert at 307 featuring Axl Rose performing Guns N’ Roses hits before they go on sale May 6?

No, it’s not a joke, according to Chad Fouquier, 307 entertainment coordinator. The club booked the special performance with Rose on Friday. Tickets are $35 and only will be sold at the Honeytribe show before May 6.

The Bellrays – Have a Little Faith

The Bellrays new record “Have a Little Faith” will be out on May 2nd. A full tour will follow.

 

8/16/20 I almost forgot Elvis’ death day. Continue to RIP King. I just had to add some extra to BMF’s post here. I’m surprised this was all he had because we were infatuated with The Bellrays for a long time. We downloaded  “Kill the Messenger”. The lead singer has Tina Turner vibes.The Bellrays appear on BMF’s 2002 band link list from WHTRR. They traveled the country with Nashville Pussy. We saw them play at Echo Lounge in April of 2003. See BMF’s review and photos of the show.

 

 

 

 

The lyrics turn out to be poignant for our present situation. I miss you. I love you. ~mc~ #57bmf4ever

I feel alone
I feel dead
I got a pain in my heart going straight to my head
I don’t care
What you say
I was born one time and I’m dying every day.
I wanna kill the messanger of sadness.
The man who makes it rain.
Spill the wine
Something for nothing
It’s all that you can gain.
I feel confused.
I feel lost.
I feel like the world wants to put me under.
