GREAT DEMO!
-
I looove The Chameleons, and like someone said before me, hipsters suck!
-
Hi stevobath! I so agree with you and believe we're both right because it's really all about the music and those who love it. Thankfully there are many Americans with good taste, sometimes too many since I haven't gotten my hands on an NME in ages and almost missed the latest Vive Le Rock. Bloody Yanks! :)
-
@Kowalskibfv My American friend went to see them in November last year, so theyre still touring.Im not sure if its the original line up though. I presumed they never really broke up more of a hiatus?
-
@myraelisa I agree, but in the end plaudits from peers do not make a band. Its the ability to touch real fans conciuosness in whatever way is possible.Im sure theyd rather have a hard core loyal fan base than a Mercury prize! They must be a great band as its more than viable for them to do tours in USA etc, where they seem to be better known & appreciated. Who said ALL Americans have no taste? LOL :)
-
(for stevobath) I feel tremendous sadness and outrage when other acts from that era--good or crap are heralded and and The Chameleons get, if anything a blurb in tiny print like an afterthought and no photo. So insulting! Pardon the rant, but I do know what you mean.
-
@stevobath You're right. But who knows what a little acknowledgement or recognition (songwriting award, Mercury Prize, etc.) could have done. Fans are wonderful, but appreciation from peers or "the industry" is usually better than money. I believe they were too intelligent and grounded to have become tainted or succumb to the demons. Their catalogue begining to end is so brilliant,

@ChameleonsUKfan2012 Alot of Indie bands today consider the chameleons as their prime influence or at least one of them, you can research it if you like, I know this is not "emo" music I Said that only good music can Combine elevating rhythms with deep emotional and philosophical lyrics.
-
@killforfiend How can you even associate the two groups? Where do you get your sources from? Hipsters are Industrial posers spawned by soulless white-suites pumping out crap. this is not "emo" music. It has soul and structure.

@genet13 Spot on! :)

Stop comparing Chameleons to current bands like the Strokes that suck big time compared to them.

The Chameleons are my favorite band of all time. They keep me alive and going. Thank you, Chameleons. You motivate and inspire me.
