I don't know about "touring" but I do know that the Peppers are playing
in San Francisco on New Years Eve, and I THINK I remember something about
them playing in LA sometime after that.  Am very unsure about the last
part, but 99% sure about the SF show.

I was under the assumption that the greatest hits album was an easy
way for their old record company to make some new cash off of them.
I don't think they had anything to do with the release (though I'm
sure they benefit from it).  Personally, if any new fans want to get
more familiar with their older stuff, buy any of their LPs, they're
all great, though I think I like "Uplift Mofo Party Plan" the best.
As for advertisements--I don't care one way or another.

"Horrible?" I think this song is very good, though not as good as "I 
Could've Lied" (my personal fave on BSSM) Now THAT is a GREAT song!

I'm baaaaaackkkk!

This whole worst covers / best covers thread has been a lot of fun, but 
there is one thing that needs to be cleared up.

HISTORY LESSON - MTV UNPLUGGED:

For those of you who do not have cable, or do not watch MTV, here's the 
idea - it is a live (or almost live) show where performers are invited to 
play their songs, but they must use acoustic instruments (what a concept!).
The electronics and amplification are restricted to microphones. There have
been bands in the past that have bent the rules some, but for the most part
the performers like the idea and participate. But to do so means 'flying 
without a net', no rackmount electronics, no flangers, no echo chambers or 
digital delays, no distortion, etc. This means that many of the songs will 
have to be rearranged, or reinterpreted, or redone in order to match the 
acoustic format. 

ERIC CLAPTON:

EC was one of the many who have been featured on the MTV Unplugged show. 
His performance was superb, including a few suprise songs that no one had 
figured he would do. Now of course he wants to play some of his big hits, 
but lets face it - could 'Layla' really have been done traditionally on the 
acoustic and not sound like a parody? His reinterpretation shows a lot of 
depth in his ability, and a lot of guts to go out and try something so well 
known so differently. This song is also discussed in an interview with EC 
in the September/October of Acoustic Guitar. Pick it up, it is worthwhile 
reading.

TOP 40 RADIO PLAY OF LAYLA:

Sorry to disappoint you, but EC was not the first to recognize that he 
could market the music from the MTV Unplugged show! This dubious honor goes 
to the one and only Paul McCartney (who's show was pretty outstanding also, 
but was pre-taped and edited for better sound). When the radio stations 
heard the recording, and the listeners started requesting the acoustic 
'Layla', the program engineers said 'why not!?'  The record company saw 
plenty of profit in it, so the song was released. I don't know about you, 
but I can't hold this against EC, if he didn't do it, the bootleggers would 
have (which was also Paul McCartney's justification for doing it).

IN CONCLUSION:

You may or may not like the song, but before ignorantly slamming it as a 
cheap 'make a buck' cover, think about the performer and the history.

Track 98 of the Nine Inch Nails CD "BROKEN" has this undocumented

Is this the same "Physical" song that some creature called Olivia

   People may know that Lou Gramm is back signing (and writing) with
Mick Jones for Foreigner (after that sad appearance by Johnny Edwards).
I guess there's a package out with 3 new songs...and they've been doing
the club circuit.

  They appeared on MuchMusic yesterday and played the unplugged thing.
It was AMAZING...they just grooved through Dirty White Boy, Feels LIke
the First Time, Urgent and Cold as Ice. I was totally surprised at how
much I enjoyed it. Part of the fun was watching them not play the songs
*exactly* like I was used to, but just groove thru 'em. They wer all 
sorta clustered together on stools, playing off each other and obvoiusly
having fun. There was no feeling of arena rock that we are all so sick of.

The band all seems really young, and also to really enjoy playing with
each other, which made it great to watch...

 Two questions: they referred to Mick Jones having worked with Jimmy Page,
Small Faces and Humble Pie. How? What is his musical geneology?
  They also talked about Lou Gramm and Shadowking, except the VJ
didn't remember the name, calling it Snakeking. What is the deal with
this? All I know is he did that solo album about 5 years ago. Who is 
Shadowking, what did they do, did they ever get anywhere (airplay or
touring) out of it? Details appreciated.

Yah Yah so I've been hearing for years about how Exile on Main Street was
supposedly "thee" Stones album. I orig bought it second hand when I was a
mere kid of 12 (aargh, orig album w/those bloody postcards; needless to say I
never hung onto the lp). At that age I found it extremely mellow, except for
"rip this joint" and didn't hang onto it for long.

I've had the tape for sometime and have started to listen to it at work (I'm
a telephone opr. Nice perk wot?). It hasn't left my walkman during the past
month. It really is a great recording. Possibly my fave song is "Rocks Off"
and my fave line would be 'the sunshine bores the daylights out of me' I
still haven't figured out many of the other lyrics on this and other songs on
the lp.

If anyone out there has the time, patience, etc. Could you email me or post
the lyrics to this or other songs from the recording?

Last weekend I caught Extreme live with their 'Stop the world tour'.
Before this I hadn't heard the new(ish) album "III Sides..." so I didn't know what to expect. I'd only heard the singles so far, Stop The World and Rest In Peace.
Well, the majority of their set was really good and they played a lot of songs from 'Pornograffitti' (Suzie/Decadence Dance were excellent, and they did a superb rendition of 'More then words'). However 'Get The Funk Out' was pretty poor. They changed the style of the verses and it just didn't sound right. 'Stop The World' was atrocious and a song (called Seven Sundays, I think..) was dire.
Hole Hearted (electric) was good and the rest of their set was fine. The Heavy Metal Horns were in good form too and I enjoyed the majority of the show.
 This was the third time I've seen them, probably the second best for enjoyment but please, why did they ruin 'Get The Funk Out'. It was an excellent song but they really fuckin' killed it live. Never mind.

-MJ-

PS. A band called 'Hardline' supported, they were really good. They did a really energetic show. If some of their material was a bit better they would have been almost as good as Extreme on the night. A band for the future I think. Well, probably in the U.S. anyway.

You're right, repeating it only twice on the 1981 version makes it sound 
less powerful. They do it 4 times (or more) when playing live, of course.

Also, I have always wodered why Atlantic (whose idea the whole '81 release
of Dirty Deeds was) didn't include Jailbreak. (R.I.P Rock In Peace wasn't
a great loss though...) Perhaps they smelled the growing popularity of
Bon and wanted to release all the early material in small pieces. When
the band adds another decade to its career (1994, am I right?), they'll
probably start selling '74 Fling Thing which contains strangely mixed
Fling Thing, Rocking in the parlour, Carry me home (of which I've heard
none, BTW -- are they good?) and Love Song (a great song but the guitars
are poorly adjusted, or whatever the right word is) ...

For the song Jailbreak, I have always preferred the sound on the Australian
LP/CD to the American Jailbreak '74 EP. There is this really irritating
background noise on the American version, I think in the right speaker,
most noticable during the beginning of the song at the main guitar riff.
This noise doesn't exist on the Australian recording. Also, I like the
Aussie recording because the "dirty deeds and their done dirt cheap..."
refrain is repeated 4 times prior to the "concrete shoes, cyanide,..."
part.

  Yes, they have!!!  It's the Castle Donnington Monsters of Rock show

Jailbreak is from the original Aussie Dirty Deeds, '76. All the other songs
are from the original High Voltage, '74. Whether Angus was at scholl when
he was 15, that I can't tell. Probably not, wasn't he kicked out like his
brother?

   Great tunes none-the-less.

   They must have re-mastered those songs when they released Jailbreak.  The 
   sound on that EP is more clear than any album before Highway to Hell.  Does

The sound on the original High Voltage _is_ very clear, especially Angus's
lead. If you listen to it you'll find it identical to Jailbreak.

in the background rainy highway with lots of cars on it.  I've been looking for
