Forgotten Rebels - Rock N' Roll Is A Hard Life

[SteveBerberovic]

You can really hear Mickey's Mott the Hoople influence on this one

[MICKEYISMYDAD]

I KEEP ASKING MY DAD TO SING THIS SONG AT EVERY SHOW I ATTEND .DAD ,NEXT SHOW IN THE HAMMER PLEASE SING THIS SONG?

[Qtee3141]

@MICKEYISMYDAD

Interesting, in all the years I've known Micky, he's never mentioned you.

And how odd that you should happen to create this account just to post this ....

[CANAMO420]

i didnt forget...

[zinkie420]

god so many memorys from call the office late 80`s god speed mickey, live on forever.....

[sizlak18]

I love this band-someone (not me) needs to upload high quality shit.  Especially the cover of Rocky Horror Picture Show.

[radbran1]

@sizlak18 i have the rocky horror show

[pinehead89]

I want to have the chords of this song!! I didn't find nothing on internet

[Rebel232]

@pinehead89 The basic structure of the song is G,C,D for the verses, and G, D,C for the chorus hope this helps. Thats an intense guitar solo though, I still cant quite figure it out!! Cheers REBELS RULE!

[Top10VideosnStuff]

Why is his crash cymbal so tight? It doesn't move at all and produces a crappy sound!

[externalmenace]

These guys are AWESOME!!! There are a few songs I don't like but I can say thast about most bands! I'm in love with the system......

[Rebel232]

The Forgotten Rebels Rule.

[zimbozen12]

[Huckleberryj]

Oh the lunch memories at the mall. Still love your music Mickey! COME back to hess village and play one. DID YOU MISS ME???? YES WE MISS YOU MICKEY!!!

oh my gosh .. so sorry i use eat lubch with him everyday in highschool at the food fair in jackson sqaure in the 80's.. i thought he was from there??a lot of loitering with him back then is stil a big bluuurrr lol

[NickelSneakers]

To me, this song is just straight-up mocking a lot of the 80's rock ballads.

[chevellecornell]

Forgotten Rebels= the best kepted secret in indie rock ever

[allusernamescaught]

[lalbruiz]

[1hogwild]

I was out tonight walking a local trail here in the hammer when a guy on a bike passed me.When I got to the end of the trail seen the guy sitting on a rock drinking a refreshment.Could'nt help notice it was Mickey DeSadist.Chatted for a while then went our separate ways.Pretty cool guy,Keep on Rock'n Rebels !!!
