BONER ACADEMY: Lemmy →
robertlange:
After watching the Lemmy documentary I got to thinking about something he said in an interview where the DJ asked him how many chicks he banged. He said over 1000. The DJ was shocked and envious, of course, and goes “that’s amazing.” Lemmy goes “not really, mate. I’m 63 years old, I’ve never been…
Lovin’ it

Moments of truth
This was the night Michael Jackson mesmerised his audience introducing his Moonwalk for the very first time: 1983 Motown’s 25th anniversary show.
Next to perform was Adam Ant. His appearance on the show had been requested by non other than Michael Jackson himself, and despite having gone through some serious knee surgery only two weeks before, he stood up to the challenge.
It was my...

Playin' in a travellin' band
No, we are not talking Creedence here today…
20 years ago I used to daydream I was a backup singer in a rock band. What could be more exciting than going on tour with a rock band and get to enjoy every night’s performance, singing and dancing on stage?
These are the ladies that inspired my daydreaming: The Nasty Habits.
Emi Canyn and Donna McDaniel were hired as Mötley Crüe backup...

What's in a song title
Do you care much for song titles, are they important to you? I mostly listen to an album several times, enough to get the tunes in my head, and after that I may try to learn the song titles. Sometimes I just don’t. But apparently, song titles are very important and we do care about them. It’s one of the first things that songwriters have to learn and master. I can understand the...

Buns up and kneeling
This is a short clip from “The Making Of Pump” where Steven Tyler talks about how “Love in an elevator” came around.
Classic Steven Tyler.
He had used the line “Buns up and kneeling, I was wheeling and a dealing” before, in the song “Girl keeps coming apart” from the 1987 album “Permanent Vacation”. I just found out that it seems to...

Farewell, Ginger
Tonight was the last show of Ginger with the Michael Monroe band. It was also Michael’s birthday, so it promised to be a very special and emotional night. And it was, at least for me. The stage was at the Provinssirok Festival in Finland and the gig was beautifully live streamed by YLEX. (Thank you!!! I love the internet!!) Ginger wore his scary face make up for the occasion, and he kicked...

Bob Rock
Another guy I find interesting is producer Bob Rock, who worked with Aerosmith, The Cult, Bon Jovi and Mötley Crüe, to name a few, and ended up being known as “the guy who ruined Metallica”.
In his own words (at about 0:33):
Their sound was way developed before I was ever involved with Metallica. I think I’ve been actually dubbed as the guy who ruined Metallica, but, you...

A certain fascination
I’ve always found fascinating, in the now defunct music industry (RIP), this type of “creative” characters working with the bands: producers, sound engineers, A&R people, scouts, and the like. For the most part their work goes unnoticed by the fans, but sometimes they reach stardom on their own. It is usually a combination of making great albums with great bands, and having a...
