Metal Circus is great. Anyone like Land Speed Record? I enjoy listening to that from time to time. I can't stand Richard Hell more than once every two years .

I don't like Metal Circus as much as everyone else does. It has a fuckload of great energy, but most of the lyrics are embarrasingly awful and bring the album down slightly for me, especially Grant's songs.

Hey little girl, wanna go for a ride?
There's room in my wagon, it's parked right outside
We can cruise down Robert Street all night long
But I think I'll just rape you and kill you instead

Diane, Diane, Diane
Diane, Diane, Diane

I hear there's a party at Lake Cove
It'd be so much easier if I drove
We could check it out, we could go and see
Come on, take a ride with me

Diane, Diane, Diane
Diane, Diane, Diane

Lay down together for a while
I'll put all your clothes in a nice, neat little pile
You're the cutest girl I've ever seen in my life
But it's over now and with my knife

Diane, Diane, Diane
Diane, Diane, Diane
Diane, Diane, Diane
Diane, Diane, Diane


It's a good transitional EP, but Zen Arcade is such a monstorous improvement. They still sounded pretty young and a bit uncertain on this.

blank generationm is an amazing song, but i can't say i've listened to that album in the past 5 years more than once.

still, i have mad respect for robert quine and i find richard hell fascinating, his whole nihilistic philosophy (so to speak) is something i don't agree at all but definitely interesting.

hüsker dü are one of those bands that sound fucking amazing on the first 10 listens and then become incredibly stale. i like metal circus but i haven't listened to it in almost five years also.

i constantly re-read hell's interview with lester in "psychotic reactions...", he says some perplexing, but interesting, statements in that article. and quine is an amazing guitarist indeed. but fuck, who cares about blank generation, hell was in televison and they made marquee moon, so give the guy some fuckin respect.

I haven't got Blank Generation, I've been trying to buy it for about a year or two. From what I've heard so far (onthe Richard Hell best of) it's an alright album. Some amazing stuff and some average stuff.

Of course you know he had departed Television before a note of Marquee Moon was recorded, right? Not that what he did with them probably wasn't great, there's just little document to show it.

There are videos on Youtube of Tom Verlaine trying to teach Richard Hell his bass parts for Television songs, but Richard isn't very good.

I almost always skip the 2 Grant songs when I listen to Metal Circus. ( CD rule )

Somehow I've managed never buying or listening to this record, to my knowledge. One of those eternal ''I will at one point, I doubt it, I can't be bothered with it''.

It's pretty seminal for me... R. Hell + The Voidoids was the first "Punk" band that I ever saw.

But then again I'm too old to know any better.

who said this was a masterpiece anyway? richard hell himself admits it was recorded when he was starting to lose it.
remember that a couple of years ago recording wasn't as easy as it is today.
the significance of richard hell is beyond this record, anyway. hell is a mark of punk culture and who says the contrary dont know much about punk.

just look at the picture on the back cover of that record and you will see the outfits that malcom maclaren stole for sex pistols, listen to blank generation and to the pistols's pretty vacant and see where it comes from.

Besides the (at least quasi-) anthemic connotations of the scene-song "Blank Generation" (a take on "My Generation" to some degree, no doubt), perhaps another key reason why he's highly associated with the Bowery and No Wave Punk scene is that Hell co-starred in the slice-of-(street)life indie feature Smithereens in 1982. He sort of plays himself, and the movie uses some of his songs; it's pretty good, was filmed on location in early-'80s Manhattan, and is generally well-reviewed.
