Love and Rockets

Are they worth checking out ? I really like Bauhaus, but I guess the music is different.

Toilet & Bowels · 01.30.2008, 04:57 PM

check out the comic they named themselves after instead

Cantankerous · 01.30.2008, 04:57 PM

yeah they're a good listen once in awhile

Tones On Tail > Love and Rockets

Rob Instigator · 01.30.2008, 05:57 PM

I like thir song DESIRE

ChocolateJesus · 01.30.2008, 06:29 PM

I actually like Love and Rockets quite a lot. Good shit. Someone freaked out when they saw I had Resurrection Hex T-Shirt. I won't tell you who. It would make him seem gay.

I mean, Gay-er

Everyneurotic · 01.30.2008, 07:24 PM

i like some songs.

daniel ash and david j are coming to mexico, i don't think i'm going.

Kundalini Express is a pretty awesome track. I haven't been too impressed with everything else I've heard from them.

Certainly no Bauhaus.

I've been a fan since the 80's, along with pretty much everything else descended from Bauhaus (ie: Peter Murphy, Dali's Car, Tones on Tail / L&R).

as clone said, I think that Tones on Tail might be better, but I've always loved Love & Rockets.

Bauhaus was dark and moody and after the split with Murphy, the rest of the band wanted to go "psychedelic".

Thanks for the replies everyone

floatingslowly · 01.31.2008, 10:47 AM

I'll be happy to upload some if you want.

the Tones on Tail was all rereleased as "Everything", and I might even know where it is on my hard-drive...

Dalis Car? REALLY? I don't think I've ever met anyone who actually liked that one.

I second everything this man says.

Seriously though, Tones On Tail felt like a natural evolution out of Bauhaus while Love and Rockets were much more a calculated shot at the mainstream.

Dali's Car fucking kicks ass. Way better than Love and Rockets and actually better than most of Peter Murphy's solo career too.

Create and Melt is one of my favorite songs done by Peter Murphy.

Everyneurotic · 01.31.2008, 10:37 PM

I have the LP and the 12".
I loved it at the time, but it has dated in a not-so-great way.
I can still enjoy it for nostalgic reasons, but Mick Karn's fretless bass is a little over the top. Still, it's a pretty distinct album.

I know what you're saying about it dating, but I really think it did so the second they were done recording it. Even in the '80s I thought it had a dinstinctively '80s feel to it, but in a good way. It definitely feels rather canned, but it's an arty sort of canned, like a Warhol print. So for me it continues to date well. It's just the contemporary bands who try intentionally to ape this sort of sound that bug me.
