Bang Pow Boom Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I came in around the Milenko era and lost my mind when I heard that CD for the first time. I've listened to everything ICP has ever put out, all the way back to Bassment Cuts and including the EPs and side projects (Psychopathic Rydas, Soopa Villainz, Dark Lotus, etc.). The last album I really liked was The Wraith/Shangri-La, and I thought most of The Tempest was pretty good, too. Maybe because it had a hint of that Dark Carnival old school feel. With the first listen, Bang! Pow! Boom! took me back to the days I discovered ICP and reminded me how I became a juggalo. Everything I love about the wicked clowns is on this disc: bouncy circus calliope beats, thumping bass, fast-paced raps (no drawn out, raspy Violent J ballads), scratching, Shaggy's screaming and character vocal change ups, impersonations of white trash rednecks and naive teenage girls, mini-skits between songs, corpses as girlfriends & homies and the theme of a judgement day recurring throughout the album. I was cruising around tonight and feeling like I did ten years ago. Like my car was a circus wagon rolling from town to town. After huge disappointments like Hell's Pit, Forgotten Freshness 4 and The Calm, this is exactly what I was hoping to hear. Some say it's not dark enough, but I think the group tried too hard to make Hell's Pit extra sinister and it sounded forced and awkward. I was bored with it right from the start. Others say that the tracks on this release are rehashed concepts the duo has done before, but it's not fair to say you want the old ICP and then criticize the music for sounding too familiar. Definitely worth the purchase.

Live Trucker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Like the blurb on the packaging says there's no extra's here.... no bonus tracks....no exclusive footage...no remixes... just straight ahead high octane "live trucker" music courtesy of the Kid and Twisted Brown Trucker Band.
There are thirteen songs overall, fourteen if you choose to include the intro to cowboy which is a folksy blues riff from the Kid featuring a tounge in cheek dig at some of his contempories, so at a tick over seventy minutes this is obviously not a full live show but rather various selections from Kid Rock's homestand in 2004 as well as a couple of cuts from a 2000 show also performed in Clarkson, MI.
The setlist is seamless nontheless allthough a full show would not have been unwarrented.
Proceedings kick of with a bang with the balls out rocker Son of Detroit which is full on and gets the crowd up from the get go. With Bawitaba and Cowboy (surprisingly early on in the set for mine) following hot on it's heels there is not a lot of downtime either.
With elements of country, hip-hop, rock, blues and soul there's a bit of something for everyone who likes their music with no frills and no fuss. You can tell that the Kid likes what he does and has a good time doing it.
Most all of the songs that you'd expect are here (with the possible exception of Bulldog) allthough Picture is covered with Gretchen Wilson rather than Sheryl Crow this time around. I guess Ms. Crow was probably chasing Lance Armstrong around the tour de France at the time it was recorded.
The packaging includes various high gloss live shots from onstage during the tour and ends with the Kid's credo.....
"If it looks good, you'll see it;
if it sounds good, you'll hear it;
if it's marketed right, you'll buy it;
but...if it's real, you'll feel it"
.....this is a live disk you will feel.

Eminem: Live from New York City (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm so stoked this concert is going on DVD. I just watched this on You Tube and wished to watch a good version. And here it is. This is a better concert than the 2002 DVD. This has performances of ENCORE songs (which was the tour that got cut short) has a great ENCORE themed intro plus a lot of old favs like My Name Is, Lose Yourself, Stan..etc. The only thing that disappoints me is that Em didn't do "When I'm Gone", it's one my favs and have yet to hear a live version. Oh well other than that this show is perfect. A Must have for Em fans.

Live Bullet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)How can words convey the electricity swirling around southeast Michigan in 1975 when this lp was recorded at Cobo Hall in Detroit? At 12 I was still listening to AM and "bubblegum" music, but a friend let me borrow a copy of Seger's "Beautiful Loser" and I thought he was " a fox" (the lingo in those days). When the "Live Bullet" lp came out months later, both generations of my family.... parents, aunts, uncles, cousins....everybody had to hear it over and over. It helped that my cousin Debbie had tried to convince us 10 years earlier that Bobby would be a star someday and we hadn't believed her and now we were all eating humble pie (she should have made bets, she'd be rich now!) To get a sense of what playing a concert at Cobo Hall meant in those days: "Kiss Alive" was made at Cobo Hall. When Elvis came, he came to Cobo Hall (at least, before the Pontiac Stadium was built). So the idea that this kid's band that Debbie used to go see when he played at bars or at college concerts recorded an lp at Cobo must have really meant he was famous, according to my family ( I guess the fact he played with John Lennon and Yoko Ono at the Free John Sinclair Rally years earlier didn't faze them).
"Live Bullet" was much better than "Beautiful Loser" because Seger sings much better live. He gets a lot from a great audience. It is a give and take thing for him.
One of the unique things about this CD is that it contains some of his older stuff, which is hard to get. It also features a great drummer & back-up singer, Charlie Martin, who was in a tragic accident shortly after this show and was never able to play again. "Heavy Music", which Bob & Charlie duet in, is superb. "Lookin' Back" is another oldie-but-goodie. "Rambling Gamabling Man" was his only national hit before he made it the following year with "Night Moves" (and that was in 1968, I believe).
"Live Bullet" seemed to be the erruption of the Detroit volcano that finally ignited Bob Seger's national success, as he made a national album hit with Night Moves just months later. It was a lot of fun to witness that little bit of time while he was still just "ours" and growing to be a national star. Or maybe international....when I left for college in 1980, I bought a used record by Canadian rockers Kate & Anna McGarrigle that contained a French version they'd translated of Seger's "Someday Lady You'll Accompany Me", called

Madonna Live-The Virgin Tour (1985) (1985) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Virgin Tour was Madonna's first tour. Not as elaborate as the Who's That Girl?, Blonde Ambition, or The Girlie Show tours were, Virgin tour shows Madonna being completely adorable. She's fun, spunky, and a volumptious. I don't think she was chubby, since weighing 120 pounds is healthy. She had so much life and energy (she never lost either). The opening which is "Dress You Up" works spectacularily. Though we know she's singing about a lover, Madonna dresses up the audience in her show. After that, she sang such songs as "Into The Groove," "Holiday," "Crazy For You," "Like A Virgin," "Material Girl," and a few others. She was really cute in her infamous wedding singing "Like A Virgin." Yep, she was wearing her full "Boy Toy" apparell. The show closed with "Material Girl," her most recent hit at the time. She performed the song in her Marilyn Monroe costume. She threw money out into the audience, and shouted "I don't need money! I need love!"
A fun concert to watch. Also has interview footage. It's a little short though. Too bad it's only 50 minutes long. We're having so much fun, and don't want to stop!
Overall Grade: A+ (10+++)
