Cinderella ? (No chance? )

well, the guitarist and the bassist fell out so i doubt thats gonna happen anytime soon

Even if they hadn't aren't they as uselss as Poison when it comes to visiting this country...

yeah the yanks seem to get it all still....

and the swedish do now, cause they have balls and good music over there and appreciate rock music properly.

sweden rock festival line up looked amazing

You consider Cinderella and Poison to be good?? C'mon, you can't genuinely mean that man!!!!

Good no, Great yes

[Red1]

Come on Martin. We all know Cinderella is the reason you got into music in the first place.?

Or was it Winger?

Hmm, maybe it was Slaughter....

Man this is confusing I'm sure it was Cinderella but maybe it was Pretty Boy Floyd after all.





/jarmo

The only reason ANYONE got into music was Bon Jovi - and that is the truth!

[jarmo]

Jon invented music. 



/jarmo

[stolat]

Si, Si! There was Mario Lanzo, Luciano Pavrotti, Frank Sinatra and Bon Jon!

[CheapJon]

Jon invented music.?



/jarmo

funny maybe if youd listened to cinderella youd see they wernt very much like those other bands at all, only by image on there first album.

[Graciela]

I like Poison cos they are fun, with catchy tunes. I'm sure I would enjoy one of their shows.

Cinderella is a completely diferent story: I consider them to be a pretty good band. If only people could get past their name and image....

[jarmo]

Like The Ramones?

Or like Spinal Tap?

[R4tfink]

Although i like Cinderella, The Ramones are way way better. Pioneers i tell thee...

Why has no one mentioned Quiet Riot?

[anythinggoes]

Why has no one mentioned Quiet Riot?

Because no-one like them ?? 

[Graciela]

I do.

Like The Ramones?

Or like Spinal Tap?

 




/jarmo

Are you making fun of The Ramones too?

[anythinggoes]

I do.

Shut up, you dont count your Spanish 

[jarmo]

I do.

/jarmo

Are you making fun of The Ramones too?

No, just trying to figure out in which sense Poison are funny.


Personally I think The Ramones were a fun band with catchy songs. But in a good way.


Poison is a band with some catchy songs but they're funny for the other reason.


But then again, I think many would say Justin Timberlake has catchy songs too....... And Kylie.

Ok, Jarmo

I just never understood why as a GN'R fan you're supposed to like bands like Poison, Motley Crue etc.


I always liked GN'R because they stood out from that scene.

I agree, both in terms of sound and image.  But I think if you look at that scene, you see that there really is a great variety in the music, if not the image.  GNR's sleazy rock, Motley's metal-tinged rock, Poison's glam-pop, Cinderella has a strong blues influence...they're all quite distinct (though there are a number of bands doing it each different way).  So I can certainly see why, in terms of sound, one wouldn't have to be fans of all those bands.  If you're a fan due to some image...well, in my opinion that's just not a worthwhile reason to be a fan, as the current state of the music industry illustrates far too well. 

EDIT: By the way, I've seen both Poison and Cinderella on multiple occasions (hell, Poison tours every summer, and it's a cheap ticket!).  Cinderella put on a great live show, and Tom Kiefer's still got a good set of pipes. 

[jarmo]

For me it wasn't an image thing.

When I got into GN'R I didn't know about the other bands, but then as I got into GN'R and music in general, all these other bands' names started popping up and you saw them on Headbanger's Ball.


I never got into the others just because they were from the same scene. GN'R was just ahead of them all.

Still are.


Instead of listening to bands like Poison, Faster Pussycat, Motley Crue and so on, I went back in time and started listening to Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, Sex Pistols...



/jarmo

[freedom78]

I started listening to GNR after they played FarmAid, but didn't really start listening to their LA Strip contemporaries too much until the last 8 or 9 years.  I think the overwhelmingly low quality of popular music drove me to look for older stuff, both from that scene and from what would generally be referred to as "classic rock."  Of course, the internet has made it much easier to seperate the quality music from the junk, so I'm not quite as disappointed with modern music (though I'm overwhelmingly disappointed with big industry music).  One listen to Gov't Mule should convince anyone that there are still talented people making great music, if you know where to look.

Who said that?

/jarmo

I always list my top favourites bands as this:

GNR
Led Zeppelin
Rolling Stones
AC/DC

But I don't understand why I can't listen to Poison, Motley Crue or Cinderella from time to time 


My little cousin likes the Black Eyed Peas, should I dishonour her?
