Alice In Chains - Publisher Demos 1989



I have searched high and low for more information on these, aside from what already seems obvious - they are demos from 1989. Apparently recorded for the publishing company before they were signed and broke out in their huge way. One of the very best to come from a city that is no stranger to birthing great bands. Sadly, Layne Staley was another heroin casualty from that era, why is herb just not good enough for some people? Anyways, great early Alice here and Cantrell's monstrous guitar chops are in evidence for all to marvel at.

Guns N' Roses - The Guns N' Roses Story Vol. 1



Okay, people who know me know full well that I do not much for this band. Having said that, I do have a heart and when the right people ask for something and it's close at hand - Daddy will provide. This one is seriously lacking in information to be found to provide an accurate description other than the obvious fact it contains rarites and alternate takes of some of their early-to-mid period of work. The closest to real info. I could find was the cover cans posted here and they were from a Russian music sharing site - a warning flag if there was ever any, right? Hopefully one or two others than they who so kindly asked for this will enjoy. Also, this is a 3 disc set and I have to get the third upped this evening - so only 2 for now.


Sorry - no time for a tracklist now. I really need to learn how to cut and paste from the file folder, but the normal method isn't working for me. Any Mac owners have advice?

Jane's Addiction - Live Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre July 23, 1991

I posted this because I was cleaning up the old blog the other day and couldn't believe that I had not posted more Jane's Addiction already. There is just so much damn good music that I sometimes forget to keep putting up new bands each week, it gets so easy to get caught up when people request 'just one more' from a previous band post. This is yet another group I have unbounded love for, the lyrics and the music are so perfectly married that I am glad they are still around (although I haven't realy listened to 'Strays' yet, I am afraid to be disappointed and have been putting it off...) because most great bands don't last half as long as they did, even before their first hiatus. Another disc to thank Tracy for, she kept playing it until it grew on me - so thanks. A great live show from one of the best ever - another feaky L.A. psychedelic band, I am sensing a pattern here. I should mix it up a bit on the next post...
