JAMC are great! ('cept live.)

you don't think they're good live???

one of THE best gigs i EVER attended in my entire life was a Jesus and Mary Chain show, NYC, The World Theatre (forget the year - mid 80 something) Pixies opened. <---cept i didn't know who they were! (most people were there to see them, i thought that was stoopid, they were the support band! ) anyway, Jesus and Mary Chain did a cover of Who Do You Love that blew away any cover i've ever heard done by anyone ever!!! that show was just AMAZING! total fucking nuts crowd! back in a time when they still served beer in glass bottles. there was so much glass on the floor it took 45 mins to get the crowd down to the first level of the club. there was more than one venue inside the building (downstairs had a big dance hall that had that huge stained glass peacock window from the Talking Heads video) but anyway, there was a huge marble staircase leading to the upstairs where the Mary Chain performed, and you just couldn't get down the stairs quickly coz there was glass halfway down the stairs!! my husband got his glasses kicked off his face by a stagediver...but luckily he CAUGHT THEM.......or they'd have been crushed along with everyone's beer bottles! that show was amazing though! wish i had a setlist, coz i can't remmeber what they played. all i know is that Doors cover kicked some major butt up one side and down the other!!

Mary Chain-best and worst live band I've ever seen.

unfortunately, i only ever got to see them once, for one reason or another. but i know someone that's seen them in the past, and recently, and they said they were far more amazing than they were ever expecting them to be these days, so i really wanna see them again.

[Frank The Bunny]

If this is real, then it would be a major coup, and I take back anything bad I've said on this forum about the band, management and official website. I'd like to think Ian McCulloch would bring his "a" game for something like this. In fact, I bet he'd be contractually obligated to bring his "a" game. Might save his life.

I like the Stones, but I wouldn't pay what they're asking to see them these days. I saw them in 1981 in the Cotton Bowl, and it was a quite disappointing show, altho B.B. King was a great warmup.

I was at that show.

I saw them at LaLapalooza - in the daylight. It was . . lame.

Had I seen an 80's show I bet I'd feel differently.

I saw them three times last year. Their first warmup reunion show was good, but tentative. Like they still couldn't believe they were back together and were afraid they'd break something if they let loose Fast forward several months, and what a change! You could see they'd gained confidence, etc. Plus they've added more songs, including a few new ones. They're also supposedly working on a new album.

I never saw them in their heyday, but people I've talked to who saw them then (including the infamous breakup show) and now said they're really liking this version of the Mary Chain.

I'd forgotten about the feud, altho I've heard that William Reid likes the Bunnymen.

well, no wonder! i hate festivals. they're usually lame gigs! so impersonal.

[Red]

and speaking of lalapalooza...i needed to test a Mary Chain dvd from ebay at my sister's house so i could make sure it worked (mine hadn't been replaced yet from a ligtning stike) but anyway, she said she saw them live and i was really impressed that she'd see someone that cool, coz she was more into Pearl Jam and Nirvana.....but then she said it was at lalapalooza........and well, then i knew why i never knew she went to see someone that cool....

but i still hate festivals!

[zabird]

well, no wonder! i hate festivals. they're usually lame gigs! so impersonal.

me too! and way too crowded. I wonder if the bands like playing them all that much either. I heard an interview with the Brothers Reid last year, and it sounded like they hated playing festival gigs too. Or at least the daylight ones. Altho William did say it gave him an excuse to wear sunglasses in the daytime

I'd much rather see the bands I like in a smaller venue (2,000 tops). And at night, like God intended

That movie sums up why I don't go to (no not indie record shops) indie book stores. Cripes, the attitude at a private book shop by anemic librarian wanna-bes that have a hissy fit if you by "Women" by Charles Bukoski or snort condescension if you get Conroy's "Prince of Tides." Sorry we can't all be burying our heads in Rhys 'Good Morning, Midnight. Ok, I digress.

So hear are some quotes from Fidelity:

Barry's Customer: Hi, do you have the song "I Just Called To Say I Love You?" It's for my daughter's birthday.
Barry: Yea we have it.
Barry's Customer: Great, Great, can I have it?
Barry: No, no, you can't.
Barry's Customer: Why not?
Barry: Well, it's sentimental tacky crap. Do we look like the kind of store that sells I Just Called to Say I Love You? Go to the mall.


Barry: Holy shite. What the fuck is that?
Dick: It's the new Belle and Sebastian...
Rob: It's a record we've been listening to and enjoying, Barry.
Barry: Well, that's unfortunate, because it sucks ass.


Customer: I don't have that record... I'll buy it for forty.
Rob: Sold.
Customer: Now why would you sell it to me and not to him?
Barry: Because you're not a geek, Louis.
Customer: You guys are snobs.
Dick: No, we're not.
Customer: Yeah, seriously, you're totally elitist. You feel like the unappreciated scholars, so you shit onto people who know lesser than you.
Rob, Barry, Dick: No!
Customer: Which is everybody...
Rob, Barry, Dick: Yeah...
Customer: That's a bit sad.


Barry: How about the Jesus and Mary Chain?
Barry's Customer: They always seemed...
Barry: They always seemed what? They always seemed really great is what they always seemed. They picked up where your precious Echo left off, and you're sitting around complaining about no more Echo albums. I can't believe you don't own this fucking record. (tosses the record to the customer and walks away) That's insane. Jesus.



Barry: Top 5 songs about death. A Laura's Dad tribute list, okay? Okay. Leader of the Pack. The guy fuckin' beefs it on his motorcycle and dies, right? Dead Man's Curve. Jan & Dean.
Dick: Do you know that right after they recorded that song Jan himself crashed his car...
Barry: It was Dean you fuckin' idiot...
Rob: It was Jan. It was a long time after the song.
Barry: Okay, whatever. Tell Laura I Love Her. That would bring the house down - Laura's Mom could sing it. You know what I'd want? One Step Beyond by Madness. And, uh, You Can't Always Get What You Want.
Dick: No. Immediate disqualification because of its involvement with The Big Chill.
Barry: Oh God. You're right!
Dick: Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - Gordon Lightfoot.
Barry: You bastard! That's so good - that should have been mine... The night Laura's daddy died. Sha na na na na na na na na! Brother what a night it really was. Mother what a night it really... angina's tough! Glory be!
