Will Sergeant Things Inside

[Malbert]

I've always viewed Mac's early solo stuff as sort of a guilty pleasure. I think he maybe even realizes (when he's not deluding himself) that he can't write great stuff single-handedly.

I still love "Candleland" and think his vocals on that track are quite dreamy, and I like the lyrics to "The Flickering Wall." As for songwriting, Mac is older than I am, and I can barely get a grocery list together that makes any sense. Getting a co-writer is a fab idea.

[Dave Smith]

I really liked Candleland,Mysterio was a bit of a moshed up mess with the different (over)producers.Still had some good track-Magical,Drip,Close your eyes,Lover.The version of Vibor Blue with Robin Guthrie is terrible.It was much better live.

Worst Mac song ever...Wassailing in the Night.

[black francis]

I like Faith and Healing from Candleland and Honey Drip, Lover, Lover, Lover and the verses of Damnation (chorus is a bore) and I like Playgrounds and City Parks.

That about sums up my Mac solo interest even though Mac solo remains in the top five best shows I've ever seen.

Go figure.

[Voodoo Billy]

I like Playgrounds and City Parks.

[the ghost of guitarplayer]

In My Head, Pomegranate, Magical World, Arthur, She Sings, Kansas and Stake Your Claim all sound like they could have been fairly good Bunnymen songs (to me). I never cared for anything else of his solo stuff, which sounds too much like stuff off the grey album or off WAYGTDWYL?. I tried listening to Candleland and Mysterio a few years back and thought it was generally shite.

[black francis]

:eek:

I'm thinking live. The studio version is a bit too polite. It was great live though. Roughed up musically and he sang like he meant it and was really hitting the highs at the end showing off.

[Voodoo Billy]

The Cape, Damnation, Magical World, Heaven's Gate and Lover, Lover, Lover (Indian Dawn Mix) for me and there were some great b-sides for the Candleland singles, which include Toad, Fear of the Known, Everything is Real and Rocket Ship.

So Will has an art exhibit?

[Wabbit]

Toad!!!! Yeah!! Love Toad..... and Fear of the Known

I like most of his stuff but do think a lot of the songs are more for the ladies......

[in_bluer_skyz]

So Will has an art exhibit?

Indeed!! Along with an album coming out on the actual release date. The art show is going to be awesome. Very Hollywood.

[black francis]

I'll fit right in my classic Hollywood good looks. I'm sort of a cross of Steve McQueen and Oliver Hardy.

[girlwithnoname]

Hmm. I'm not seeing a resemblance here.



That was the sexiest picture of Oliver Hardy I could find. He and Stan Laurel are looking a little too cozy.

Not seeing it, bf. Sorry.

[Malbert]

I'm sort of a cross of Steve McQueen and Oliver Hardy.

Since both are dead, I'd suggest making yourself look like someone with a pulse.

Stake Your Claim should've switched places with whatever was the last songs on the last two Bunnymen albums. That closer on Siberia was pretty lame.
