you forgot the old man staring off screen and whimpering.

Good Charlotte's slogans cohere into a complete statement on each song. Can't say that about "Rise."

Fair enough.

Incidentally, Devo's "Uncontrollable Urge" is light years more Punk Rock than anything Good Charotte will ever be able to manage.

well, it DOES sound like a hard outtake from Talking Heads: 77, so I guess...no. Maybe more "punk rock" by yer definition, but that's very different from it being BETTER. Which it ain't, nyeh.

How does it feel to be so wrong all the time?

Devo/Heads = Sab/Zep

"Rise", sorry, it was a weird thing for the 8 or so yearold me. It still kinda is, that unreserved enjoyment of anger... Devo's is a fun cover. Woohah woohah!

Wasn't "Rise" on Beavis and Butthead once, and they commented on John's orange hair?

What ever happend to Jah Wobble?

What ever happend to Jah Wobble?

Reconvened -- briefly -- with Martin Atkins in The Damage Manual (with Geordie K. Walker of KILLING JOKE on geeetar) and released one decent e.p. and one frankly crap album (thanks to Chris Connely's shite vocals and Atkins' cloth-eared production). Abandoned ship just a few dates into the requisite tour (his place filled by the gent from My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult). Wobble is invariably back to making solo records with Invaders of the Heart.

I heard that Damage Manual album (yes, crap, yes) and too wondered what happened to that thing.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 30 March 2003 23:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

Despite the promising pedigree, the Damage Manual is best forgotten.....tho' they originaly asked Lydon to be vocalist (he declined, of course). That might've been a bit more interesting (basically Metal Box era PiL with Geordie in for Keith Levene). Alas, `twas not to be.

eleven years pass...

So is this "12 inch version" really any different than the album version? They're roughly the same time (a bit over 6 minutes) - I know the 7" version is 4:30 but that's clearly an edit of the LP version.

You seem to dislike my posts. I suggest you don't read them.

Gerald McBoing-Boing, Wednesday, 5 November 2014 01:40 (nine years ago) link

It's hard to know: Can anyone tell the two versions of "This is not a love song" off the 12" apart?

Anyway, I was lucky enough to get "Rise" as an advance white label 12" (instrumental version on the other side), and was all "This Is Tremendous!!" and wanted to take it that night to the After Dark club for the DJ to play. But they'd have probably just ignored me/it (or nicked it) so I didn't.

two years pass...

I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall while they were working up their version of 'Satisfaction', just to witness the whole process behind it!
