I mean, they are REALLY good songs, but their ratio of good songs to shit songs (and/or different versions of the same old songs released again and again and again) is pretty unbalanced.

The fact that HR has changed so drastically (while the others have aged well, though more conventionally) was also intriguing.jeffenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05015674620176399988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-20334604288739027772012-06-14T23:37:46.001-05:002012-06-14T23:37:46.001-05:00Members of the Fearless Vampire Killers know that ...Members of the Fearless Vampire Killers know that the Right Brigade and Attitude has nothing to do with dress sense, but How Low Can A Punk Get?<br /><br />Does H.R. need The Regulator, or is the bands Supertouch/Shitfit still so tight that they Don't Need It to continue the Big Takeover and keep Sailin' On?<br /><br />In any event, the aging Madonna-look should be Banned In D.C. *and* Tennessee.biopunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11614894519622906554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-67748251131544192862012-06-14T23:31:18.397-05:002012-06-14T23:31:18.397-05:00Looks like HR pulled a Sly Stone !

Hands down Iconic great band agreed ?<br />So to judge this clip is unfair with out seeing more, they didn't look sweaty so I'm guessing this was the first and second songs of the set, yeah they are older but HR is still in good shape (Iggy's got at least 15 years on him) So I think they especially HR in the wig look and sound great. Looking forward to reading a review of the entire gig.RevolutionaryBumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03881256414515946404noreply@blogger.com
