Eddie Murphy loved that band!
I loved that song on the Ghostbusters soundtrack as a kid

Raul de Souza - Don't Ask My Neighbors

I love pretty much everything about that cover: his exuberant pose, the album title of course, the fact that he's playing on the rooftop and therefore isn't actually bothering his neighbors, the bluebird standing on his logo...
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 13:04 (four years ago) link
Seems like he should be playing a “Souza-phone,” tho(?) 😛

I'd bet the Bus Boys probably have at least 1 good Rick James story.

xpThat's a great one too, but maybe better for the bad puns thread.

🖼(Not That) Robert Johnson: Close Personal Friend
― Irae Louvin (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 1 December 2019 02:41 (four years ago) link
Hmm. “I’ll Be Waiting.” Doesn’t sound like either of those songs, only commonality is the word “love” in the lyrics, but it does have some bubblegummy background vocals singing “papa-pom-mow-mow”!
― Irae Louvin (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 1 December 2019 02:51 (four years ago) link
“Waiting for a taste of your love” is so Tap, so Brian Johnson I came across the chorus of “ let me put my love into you” earlier today and damn, dude doesn’t pull any punches.

Most if not all of that album appears to be on YouTube. Seems to fall between two stools, as is commented upon in Allmusic review- flashy guitar pyrotechnician forced into a New Wave straitjacket and strait-tie- but sounds pretty good.

One of the tunes definitely sounds Buddy Holly influenced.

He shreds, on this album at least, in a manner somewhat reminiscent of upthread Kevin Ayers right hand man Ollie Halsall.

Mick Fleetwood's Zoo: I'm Not Me

Oh man I looooooved "I'll Be Waiting" when it came out, and had completely forgotten about it in the intervening years. It reminds me of "Do Anything You Wanna Do" by Eddie and the Hot Rods. Both songs make me immediately want to do the pogo.

I'm Not Me is spot on: a solo-album-for-the-sake-of-it; horrible nothing title, horrible half-arsed cover.

Entwistle fired him after a US tour because Johnson kept doing Townshend stage moves during Ox shows.

1992 iirc but in their hearts it's always 1973

^^Having seen them twice at festival things, I can assure you that's true. Also: Their lead singer is ten feet tall & a yard wide.

Another idea for one:
Album title is "Punching In"
Lead singer or artist is punching a hole in the wall next to one of those old factory timeclocks.
