Disappointing "Classics" 1.1: The Gun Club: Fire Of Love
 

The Gun Club: Fire Of Love 1981

What the heck is this shit? Basically everything folks said about the Scorpions 'wind of change' area, but these kids actually meant it for real, without all the fun joy that Scorpions can bring :cool:

Sure JLPs vocals is abit entertaining but fo real?!

huh?

the fuck?

"Lawl".

hell of a first post.

welcome to Team Troll, my friend.

I was all ready to be offended and then I read the actual post. Now I just want to rub it all over my body.

"Team Troll" dude, i couldn't see that one comin'. I'm a troll because i dont like an album that you probably do? Get a grip dude.

I can't help that i'm not into empty insignificant cock rock muzak of the worst kind. Bcuz that's what this truly is to me. Goodbye Johnny? Johnny? Johnny B Good? Pub Rock for adolescents? This shit works best as muzak for hipsters at a club or a nerd browsing an internet forum with the headphones on. But I cant even stand it as muzak.

If anyone has anything worthwhile and wants to trade for my wax copy on Beggars let me know. Any rare import of Wind of Change would do.

well, fine then, "dude".

the invite has been rescinded.

:)

Oh, more like this, with less hand-wringing and intercockery please.

my irl reaction:
what.
what.
WHAT?

just becuz i have a major gun club boner this week.

LOCK has a bone in his ass about the Gun Club, eh? This sounds like the whinings of someone who was expecting the second coming of Christ within the grooves of "Fire Of Love". and feels left short changed. Meh.

OK, put it this way - which album do you think deserves the reputation that "Fire Of Love" has?

you have to be kidding, this is one of the best albums ever, if you dont like this you probably just dont like garage rock, because this is as pitch perfect an example of the genre as any. the flamin groovies 'teenage head' compares, but thats it. this is a pitch perfect song for song masteriece.

you said "pitch perfect" twice. don't overuse phrases.

^^lawlzzzz
he knows his shit though, Batreleaser is a journalist.

Journalists, of course, well known for never talking hyperbolic shit.

taaaaaake me, to the magic of the moment, of the gloooooory night!!!

jeffrey lee pierce, for all his junk n' lust poetry and his ability to channel the best of outlaw country, satanic blues and suede shoe gang rockabilly, could never boast about tearing down the berlin wall with a whistling melody to start a power ballad.

generic hard rock that gave eastern europe a hope and a prayer for big macs and american express cards.
