said the new lp is going to sound like the black crowes and the dead boys alot of people have been crowing how great the black crowes are.
but they suck real bad... mike ness has talent and style...the black crowes lack both.
i'd rather have my nuts fed to a lion then listen to the black crowes.

I disagree with you big time. Ness probably like the Black Crowes becasue they have such a strong Rolling Stones influnence on them which is a HUGE influenece on Ness and the rest of the guys in Social Distortion. The Black Crowes are great musicians with a solid blues background with great songs....

...i'm talking about everyone on this board praising the black crowes..

Ahem, not quite everyone... I refer you to my previous comments in the "new LP to sound like..." thread, wherein I called said band "70s throwback stoners".... the defence rests, m'lud, I am innocent of all charges!

How long have you got?
Speaking personally, my problem with them is that they are redolent of the lazy-arsed overblown mid to late 70s US arena-filling Stones, which, let's face it, is never a good thing... The Stones have been responsible for some absolutely killer tracks: Sympathy For The Devil, Ruby Tuesday, Get Off Of My Cloud, The Last Time, Paint It Black, Gimme Shelter and so on, but sadly they have also been responsible for some tedious plodding balls-achingly dull stodge, and it is this latter style that the Black Crowes bring to mind for me! I don't have any problem with any band exhuming and referencing the rock n roll past ( how could I? I'm a Mary Chain fan ) but when the past they revisit is so staid and old-before-its-time, that's what I have a problem with....
