Robbie is/was always the better singer and better songwriter. It was in fact when johnny took over the frontman duties and became the bon jovi of alternative rock is when they went in the toilet. Changed his haircut to bon jovi and the sound to that as well. Everything they did from 'hold me up' and later was all jonny and all pop cheese mainstream ballad radio friendly crap. Everything before 'hold me up' is awesome punk in the vein of Robbie's vision of what sex maggots should be...
I have every pressing of this self titled/first release on cd. All mint condition! all RARE collector's items with the true sex maggots/love dolls sound on them. Before they sold out on 'hold me up'. I also have all pressings of the lp in close to mint shape! So anyone who wants them make me offers, you might get lucky :P Btw anyone who is interested in the real dolls before they turned to crap, listen to this record/cd and the one afterwards "jed" to see what they have forgotten exists!
Ahh the good old days, man do I miss them. I still have all their ticket stubs and concert signs when they played at local bars. They were a lot of fun back then in concert and just hanging out with.
well im 41 and sen them get done with there set and then go behind the bar to work.I live in Fl now.the place they are plying is called the continental
I saw them in London on the Let Love in tour. Most of the crowd were teenage girls or teenyboppers who came with their parents. Whenever the guys played anything before 98 everyone just looked confused and lost. That really brought my piss to a boil.
Nonetheless the guys played an Awesome gig and Johnny raised a few eyebrows of the kiddies and parents by calling George Bush I C**T pmsl.
i know they can't go back to being like this but i wish i could have seen them when they were like this. they look like they are having so much more fun here then when you watch them now. i'm not dissing their alternative rock stuff, i like it too but i dunno there's something about punk that's so honest and i feel like they've lost whatever it was they had in this video. maybe lost isn't a good word...more like replaced with something else? meh. gonna get hella flaming for this oh well.
do you have this full show? i'd love a live video of messed up
