You're a surprise a minute.
Roland et al, my condolences.

Why is that a suprise?
I was there when punk was born... I survived disco and the 80s. Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Pantara, all a serious breath of fresh air to me. Mudhoney, Screaming Trees, hell, so much good music all crammed into one tiny moment in time.
I am probably one of the few on this board that remembers CBGBs in it's glory days. Hell, I am betting not many even knows what CBGBs is... Most of you all are still kids.
And at the risk of getting flamed in a delicate thread, Pantara did not really mesh together as a band till Vulgar Display of Power. TONS of raw talent. Lots of skill. But they always sounded out of synch. Drums to fast, guitars out of harmony, vocals out of place. It was a bad live show sound put to a recording. VDOP was a finely polished, highly perfected, well oiled metal machine. Perfect timing on everything, not one farking note out of place.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
