gross
Go on, Gerda - tell us some stories from your rock’n’roll back pages.
I’m sure there’s plenty of shenanigans in that ol’ closet space.
[reply][reply]She’s not pretty at all. Why are so many rock stars with people not attractive if they can have anyone they want. And don’t say this stuff that it matters whats on the inside. Chick is goofy with a big nose and blubber lips
Stay classy, BigMama.[/reply]
Don’t stay a pedophile, ARETSAYA[/reply]
Have you ever thought about a career in politics? You’re really good at dancing the Texas sidestep.
Anyway, so there’s this ostrich at the zoo . . . .

So says the woman who was just telling us how Al Jourgensen loves to treat women badly. On this page you’ve insulted one’s looks and told another she was a paedophile. “Do as i say, not as i do”, eh?
I’m not one to support pedophilia, but what did she look like? Considering her track record, seems like she was the instigator. Some 14 year olds look uncannily mature. Just saying…
She looks pretty good to me.
Also, the “age of consent” in UK is 16, so it’s really not that big of a stretch.
Atleast I’m not an obvious pedophile like Olsen and shim
Who’s Shim?

The ostrich’s name was Madame Upanova. A Ministry roadie named Ben Ali fell madly in love with her. She rejected him and he was heartbroken, but later found love with a hippopotamus named Hyacinth.
Captain Beefheart kept his bandmates hostage and refused to give them food.
Beefheart didn’t exactly hold the band hostage. He kept them cooped up in a cult-like environment while the band lived off small amounts of food. Once a week, one or a few of the band members were allowed to buy groceries. The peak of their cult-like environment took place during the writing of Trout Mask Replica and carried on through the Decals sessions. The bulk of the writing for Trout Mask Replica consisted of Don sitting at the piano, hitting random notes while John French, the drummer, would transcribe it and assign the “guitar” and “bass” parts to the proper members.
For about ten months, the band endured 10-12 hour practices and when they weren’t playing, they were verbally abused by Don for a good 2 or 3 hours. Each time they had one of these talks, one of the band members was the target and the others were assigned to keep that guy cornered in the room while Don was telling the target that he was holding the band back and that he was being selfish.
There was one interesting incident where the drummer was basically the target for a good 24 hours. Don got the other band members to corner him and rough him up when he told the guys that the band was making progress and everything was going to work out. The next day Don punched him in the chin in order to wake him up and then slapped him around while recording one of his spoken word ramblings. The tape was apparently given to Zappa and Frank thought the whole recording was an act.
According to French, he was attending a get-together at the Zappa house after his death. One of the technicians pulled out a copy of the tape and played it. French looked over at Matt Groening and told him what Don was going to say next and within seconds, Don said exactly the same thing, followed by the sounds of him being smacked around. Groening told them, “turn that thing off, man. That sound’s John getting hit.”
Jeff Cotton, one of the guitarists, left the band after having his ribs kicked in by the drummer that replaced French (who a few months before was fired from the band by being thrown down a flight of stairs after refusing Don’s request to “play a strawberry.”)
I never gave a crap about Captain Beefheart . . . . but now I’m starting to think he was beyond awesome.
Beefheart was one of a kind.
he Trout Mask Replica sessions sounds like a more intense version of those that took place during the recording of The Beatles’ White Album.
While making the White Album John and Paul were both in full on “Fuck You” mode. John was particularly poisonous during this period and even threatened Yoko Ono with physical violence for sitting too close to McCartney. Often thee two would record in different rooms with different engineers aand would generally only communicate through a third party.
But the one who copped the brunt of it was poor old George Harrison, who faced the both the nastiness of Lenon and the smug apathy of often condescending McCartney. John would often ignore attempts made by Harrison to contribute more the album sessions. Other times, he would either mimick him or rudely pretend that Harrrison hadn’t spoken at all.
Harrison would play a few bars of a song he had written only to be interrupted by Lennon either leaving the room or interjecting with a 'this is childish…let’s do something else" type remark.
Poor guy.
And Ringo ended up sitting alone in a corner with nobody to talk to.

That should be every day of his life.
You know Ringo will be the last living Beatle…it just has to be that way…
Capt Beefheart is fucking great…I have everything he ever released…
While in their earliy 20s Iggy Pop and Ron Asheton were seeing 13 or 14 year olds. One named Betsy, who Iggy said he wrote I wanna be your dog over her. I dont know if its the same girl but Iggy married a 14 year old, and had a child from a young teen. Iggy later covered Sweet Betsy from Pike.
Continuing with the cradle-robbing topic . . . Dee Snider started dating his wife (they’ve been married 30+ years now) when she was 15 (he was 21).
Milli Vanilli had to return their Grammy award for “Best New Artist” when it was revealed that they weren’t actually singers and contributed nothing vocally to any of the recordings or their live performances.
They weren’t actually singers? Pffft. No big deal. I didn’t even think they were men.
And Michael Gira of Swans used to visit young (13 - 15)prostitutes in New York at the same time he was dating Jarboe, back in the mid 80’s.
The guy from the Beasts Of Bourbon - who had met Gira - told me that when I met him (I was wearing a Swans tee shirt and he commented!).
