BOC and CMC

[BREVARD, Adrian R.]

Saigon Kick is still Siagon Kick but is about to be called Flat under
> their new record deal.

Theo>So I take it jason just fired everyone, hired a new band, and
likely
had to re-name the group to avoid legal shit?  Like Skynyrd 1991?
BTW, the new Van Halen disc is called Van Halen III.  Wonder if they
had to rename the band due to legal rancor?

Don't think so.  Drummer left on a side project which turned out to be
Prunella Scales.  Think they went over bigger than they imagined and he
may stay with the project.  Matt, lead singer from the first two albums
came back for a while.  Only problem was the gigs had setlists based on
the first two albums.  Rather limiting.  Second two albums (IMHO) had
better more versatile material.  Probably some legal shit behind the
name change but it might just be re-invention.

T-man>I saw 'em live way back when.  Back when they'd mix up all
different
style bands on one show...

They can still play pretty good.  One of those bands where I new every
song.  Couple of summers ago they did a two hour gig at Wolftrap.  They
could have played for another hour and still not hit everyones fave
song.  New album isn't great though.

T-man>That's very interesting, and typical of the Stones.  For a band
who've made so much money, their records don't sell all that well.

Never a Stone fan myself.  Boggles me the way people lay out premium
bucks to attend one of thier overhyped gigs.

Theo>Thing is, the Stones suck live as well as on record, but it doesn't
seem to matter!

HOWLS do we agree here.  Heard a radio broadcast of one of their gigs
and almost puked.  BOC could outplay these guys while sleeping.

T-man>You know, that lifesize cardboard cutout in the stores?  EB
astride
his hawg?  BD in his spacesuit?  Allen...just being Allen!

You think BOC will rate a display like this?  Man if so you provided a
good start.  Put Danny next to Buck, bass slung over his shoulder with
biceps bulging.  Does Danny have guns like Joe?  Don't think so.
