  • Today's music sucks so bad!!!! Rock and Roll is in what I consider a "Dark Age" so desperately needing a King Arthur to pull "Excalibur" and save Rock and Roll..........

  • I agree...for me it started dying in the 80s and has only gotten worse.

  • Yeah for me it was the late 70's and that's when I evolved into Neo punkIt was either that or the Hair band era .Echo and the Bunnymen,Bauhaus,Tones on Tail,Clash... etc....the bitter end for me was the breaking up of Soundgarden,Nirvana......

  • and the death of Alice in Chains' Layne Staley .

  • I just looked for this to see whether anyone had posted it before I did :) Great work, lol with the clip! Good on you.

    This track is just brilliant - inspired!

  • thanks

  • I have loved the album "Young Lions" and this mantra in particular, for close to 20 years.

    After constant abuse of the cassete tape flying around insidde of cars, boxes, houses, I'm delighted to be re-united with its tracks.

    "It ain no use jus trying to be a whirlwind,

    ....jumpin here & there.......playing checkers with your own life.........That ain't gonna work baby"

  • love Adrian

  • This is one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard...Not just The Prophet Omega preaching, but also, Adrian's guitar licks are so intense as to make you sit up and listen............

  • Amen

  • "Some of yall have such a bad luck right now till you couldn't hit a barn with a baseball bat".

  • @generationx1966 check out Rob Crow and Zack Hill (especially together) if you haven't already

  • i am what i am and that's all i am and i am it.

  • i believe this song is meant to be tounge in cheek humor like adrian does so well eg. The ideal women, fish head, the momur, etc. love it. been a fan since i heard the vinyl release lone rhino in the early eighties.

  • Don't be afraid, Be your self and Love the world.

    ~ Stretch Out!
