i must confess, i got the 1st stabbing westward album. I have never heard a single thing that came after it. They had no hit albums here.

Kittie were reasonably big (not huge or anything), but the second album did a good job of finishing them off.

I remember them because they were especially traumatic -- I had to miss a Red Wings play-off game to drive my sister to their concert.

Actually that really is a tragic cover -- all this horribleness on the page and then at the bottom 'Oh by the way Nick Cave and Rocket from the Crypt, are they any good?'

I could write a story about my sister's groupiedom w/low-level Britpop bands, but I would probably get sued. Plus, I have a sneaking suspicion she lurks on ilx sometimes.

One track off the first Stabbing Westward album was the theme tune to MTV Europe's metal show for a while.

24 or so?) I remember from back in my one-stop days hearing about the biggest advance ever given: to Lone Justice. Think they may have sold a few records here and there but nothing to justify the million bucks or whatever it was they were handed in the mid-'80s, when that was a fair amount of money.

though from the review i'm guessing "Ungood" woulda been a better title.
― Remedial Thug Motivation (San Te), Thursday, 23 September 2010 18:02 (fifteen years ago)
Metal Hammer higher standard? lol dont make me laugh. I remember they wanted to drop the "metal" from the name of the magazine as metal was very unhip in the days of alternative & nu-metal.

I acquired a huge collection of 80s Rolling Stone magazines back when I worked at a public library and they were going to get rid of them -- there were a *lot* of articles devoted to hyping Lone Justice.

Yeah, Nicole, Lone Justice (specifically Maria McKee, I guess, really) had unfuckwithable L.A. credentials when that actually meant something to A&R guys. And it was of course Geffen who doled out the bucks.

Frickin' Lone Justice.
Some ILX talk on this thread about them a while back. Great post by Alfred following up on it.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 23 September 2010 18:08 (fifteen years ago)
Seeing ellaguru's post about Lone Justice made me think of Johnny Winter. His Columbia contract was at the time the biggest for a new act, but--while he did alright--he probably didn't pay commercially like the next Hendrix or Clapton like they thought he would.
