[swans1997]

back when goth or deathrock were actually original, and fun. now, it's all cookie cutter predictability and psuedo sopranos. amy lee fuck off.

[ManilaSyndicate]

Heh, they put the "N" in novelty act. Funny gals.

[MasterBattor]

why should the dead need mercy? lol gotta love these nonsense lyrics xD hehehe

@FetishJade yeah, heroine is what isolated me from all the early punks. that scared the fuck out me more than mary simms could with her frightful pitch on halloween at the fetish. not to mention haunted garage.

Wow, I never thought the music i listened to would sound old, dated and hollow. there is a 70's feel here even though it was the 80's. I can even feel the planet with 4 billion less people in the air when they sing.

MERCY FOR US NOT DEAD

Hmm I give it a 5 with a potential of 9 if the singing matched the music instead of appearing like random chanting that occasionally matched up. Date with jack was better, but this could have been a classic if just done a bit different

@GrassyKnollTrolls Yes as late as the mid-nineties, I saw her walking down Sunset blvd. posting flyers for her band's appearance somewhere. No task like that was too hard, and she was pushing some age by that time.

My friend was always helping her tweak pieces of her Ford van or later her Peugot, some mid-eightes thing, and I just hung with her and her housecats for a few years. This was between a UXA hiatus and the other band she played in, Hit 36.

@powergirl901 , I used to know DeeDee really well. My band played with her band UXA a few times. I was good friends with her guitar player, Patrick too. Haven;t seen her since about 88. So shes doing good and still a total punker eh?

Tracy was my first p-rock girlfriend! We were both 17. It lasted about 4 months til she O.D.'ed on me at her parents house while getting ready to go out. She went out in the bathroom. i freaked as I was new to all that type of debauchery. My innocence didn;t last too long in 80-81 Hollywood though. I haven't talked to her in years but hear shes doing great now.
