Ugly Men Of Rock'n'Roll

September 23rd 2008 06:03
Greetings all,

The one thing about playing rock music that has always been the bonus for every knucklehead out there with a thread of talent, is looks are unimportant. This is fantastic news for all the homely or completely spew-worthy gonzos in the world who struggle to be accepted in their own street. Thanks to this un-related law of physics, there is hope for everyone to rise to the top of the charts. It seems in some cases, the uglier you are, the better. Ofcourse, this applies to the band theory, not so much for a solo singer, especially if you are a chick. Let's face it, no-one can market a girl the size of her car. Unless she's Urethra Franklin.

Anyway, the point is that the following men of rock and or pop music prove the theory - but mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the ugliest one of all?

Shane MacGowan from The Pogues
Do not adjust your screen


Here are the others in no particular order. You be the judge. Who is the ugliest? My money is on Macgowan but it is damn close between them all.

Steve Tyler

Rick Ocasek


Nicko McBrain

Iggy Pop

Flavor Flav

Michael Stipe

David Crosby

Dee Snider

Boy George

Tim Rogers

Snoop Dogg

Joey Ramone

Mick Jagger

Keith Richards


For all the chicks who would like to make a career out of performing on stage....then this is the criteria for the music industry. Enjoy.
Pure talent

Bullets To Broadway (LINK)

Bullets To Broadway


Hey rockers,

If anyone has information relating to the tragic disappearance of Nashville punksters, Bullets To Broadway, please let me know. They seem to have vanished from the radar. To those of you uninitiated with the name, let me enlighten you.
BTB are Teen Idols and Rehasher mixing to form one leaner and meaner band. They like to think of it as a modern-day marriage between Screetching Weasle and the Descendents. Heather's vocals really give these guys the edge and the songs are sharp and very cool. Once again, I will announce my delight at a babe who kicks ass on the axe and has a voice that gives me the 'orn. Thankyou Heather, wherever you are.........




Unfortunately, that video is all I have of them to get my fix. If Bullets To Broadway do not return, then the punk music world will be at an eternal loss. We here at Rockvoyage salute you! Heather! Heather! Please come back.....................

The Meanie Of Life! (LINK)

Meanies
Hey Ho Rock Voyagers,
The Oz music scene is shocked and saddened by the tragic death of one of it's brothers', guitarist Tas Blizzard. A founding member of infamous punk band, The Meanies, he was also known for his stint with Seaweed Goorillas.
Tas

Tragedy has struck The Meanies twice this year, almost like a curse. A few months ago, their other guitarist, DD past away after battling cancer and muscular dystrophy. For those of you who want to pay your respects and show the band your support, there will be a tribute show for Tas this Thursday 14th August at the National Hotel in Geelong. For those rockers who are still unfamiliar with the Meanies sound, do yourself a favour and get down there to see one of the all-time great Oz punk bands. Check local guides for playing times as this will be a night not to be missed.
Meanies

Tas and DD - RIP. Best wishes to the the Meanies from The Finkers, TA-TA and The Ramanes. Thanks for the great shows.

Tas

Are We Not Men?

Greetings to all mutants and spuds,
I have a message from five suburban robots. They have sent me a transmission from their native country of the US, outlining an upcoming journey to Oz. They are following the commands of their genetic codes and they are coming here to entertain corporate life forms. They will spread the word of de-evolution. They are called DEVO and their message is simple, “Opposites and rebellion are obsolete. The fittest shall survive, but the unfit shall live. It’s all the same”.

The Ramones Are Gods! (LINK)

July 9th 2008 06:47
The above title may seem bold to some readers but to the rest of us, it's fact! Whether you accept it or not, these guys are worshipped across our crumbling planet by millions. Yes, that's right. Millions! The beautiful or ugly truth ( as the case may be) is that no other band in rock music's short & battle-worn history, has inspired or influenced so many people to:
A) Play rock music B) Play an instrument C) Form a band D) Play songs that sound like the Ramones or E) Play Ramones songs.
The Ramones
Rock Gods

Notorious punk rocker and masochist, Sid Vicious, wanted to do the song, "My Way", like the Ramones - his favourite band. Motorhead wrote a song dedicated to them. Pearl Jam worshipped them. The list goes on. From The Hard-Ons, Spazzys and Mach Pelican in Australia to Teenage Bottlerocket in the US and Chixdiggit in Canada, these bands are a drop in the ocean. There are literally thousands of groups around the globe all belting out Ramones-inspired chords.

Norwegian Nymphets! (LINK)

July 7th 2008 03:36
Hey ho music lovers. If there’s one thing that get’s my amp buzzing, it’s a chick who plays in a rock band. Now, if that chick happens to be in a band with other chicks, then that is even better. But what about 4 chicks who play hard rock and they are from Norway? Kaboom! – I think I just blew a fuse! Let me introduce you to, Cables.
Cables
Hotwired

Based in Oslo, this fantastic Nordic four piece have been dazzling audiences since 2000 and best of all – bass player Inger, sings. Can it get any better than this for a fellow bass player with vocal ability like myself? What a pity they live so far away from me. Such is the torture of life sometimes

Band Profile - Sederra

June 28th 2008 02:35
The real OC
If your not familiar with the name Sederra, then you soon will be. These guys are an awesome foursome that hail from Fullerton, California and are making big waves on their west coast turf. Rising from the ashes of OC rockers, Longfellow and other local hardcore acts, Sederra was formed in 2006.

With a similar passion for songwriting and musical influences, the four punksters site Black Sabbath, MC5, The Clash and Foo Fighters as inspiration. In their short life, Sederra have already taken to the stage with Unwritten Law, The Draft, Gaslight Anthem and legends of punk/ pop, Lagwagon
