Re: LETS TALK ABOUT THE J. GEILS BAND
One of my all time favorite albums..
Banana milk flows freely on Monkey Iiiiiiiiiii-land.
No one cares and no one flows.
seriously, this is good writin'

What went on that night
How every living thing
Just dropped out of sight
We watched them take the bodies
And row them back to shore
Nothing like that ever
Happened here before.
On the east side of the island
Not too far from the shore
There stood the old house
Of fifty years or more
All the dorrs and windows
Were locked inside and out
The fate of those trapped in there
Would never be found out.
There ain't no life on Monkey Island
No one cares and no one knows
The moon hangs out on Monkey Island
The night has dealt the final blow.
The fish jumped from the water
And started walking home
The birds all started screaming
And dove into the foam
The night came out of nowhere
And then a quiet rain
Footsteps in the darkness
Down a half forgotten road.
There ain't no life on Monkey Island
No one cares and no one knows
The moon hangs out on Monkey Island
The night has dealt the final blow.

This is like talking to an internet ghost who doesn't even realize he's a ghost yet and keeps trying to talk to those around him. If you try to put a shirt on so people can recognize you I WILL PUNCH THE SHIRT INTO OBLIVION thus rendering you still a ghost. FUCK YOU, smellmyfinger

That aside, I DO like the J. Geils Band.

This depresses me. But I'd like to read a whole thread of stories like this.

If I had more time I would start a thread called "who's the ultimate 'Do you know who I am" of your town?"
Fuck, this behavior is so sad and annoying, but funny too.
I just watched "New York Doll", the doc about Arthur Kane. Nobody told me it was shot by a Mormon. It was hard to watch.

"Angel is my Centrefold" was responsible for early proto-boners in the late 70's for me.

nothing wrong w/ centerfold either, great album start to finish, and even stellar dwyer inspired cover art.

despite not playing that album (tape) in 20 + years, I did break out the track title as an expression of speech in conversation while watching Enslaved standing around critiquing chicken wings just a few weeks back..

Re: LETS TALK ABOUT THE J. GEILS BAND
hmmmm...I dunno man.. lukewarm for me..
vocals trying so hard to sound like pete, while I suppose he was busy cashing in on the "free burger" years post the height of his popularity..
this album essentially tanked and kilt the band off.
I remember Concealed Weapons as the one song that got some radio play...
haven't heard that in ages either.

Re: LETS TALK ABOUT THE J. GEILS BAND
Broke it out and listened...
Gettin even sounded like a total attempt to remake Freeze Frame, but failed in every way. It had the formula, but lacked the magic and craft that made Freeze Frame a 10/10 banana milk can album. The trademark geils-ism's all sound forced, and where Freeze Frame moved the houserocker band sound into the contemporary sounds flawlessly, this album is scarred with mega dated mis-use of the technology and sounds of the times. Actually behind the times.
It's like it should be called "It's 1989, but it soundin' like 1984".
You know what's an underrated album, Ladie's Invited...
I'd have to say--- as for Houserocking party rock bands..there is not even any other band in the conversation for TRVE KVLT HOUSEROCKERS beyond J Geils Band. None.

p.s. i'm glad they kept the vocals inside the band with seth justman and didn't get some spandex shitbag to fill in.
the more i think about it the more that i like that album.
isn't there a line in the title track about hangin out at the kit kat club? i shall research this later.

Re: LETS TALK ABOUT THE J. GEILS BAND
was reading sir lord baltimores wikipage, and stumbled onto this info.. what a stellar concert.. holy fuck, Black Sabbath and J. Geils 110 cans of kvlt
On February 19–20, 1971, Sir Lord Baltimore played consecutive nights at New York's Fillmore East as the opening act on a bill that included The J. Geils Band and Black Sabbath, as part of the latter's Paranoid tour. (Sir Lord Baltimore played additional dates on this tour, as well.)[12] A photo of the band used in the Fillmore East's programs was later used as the cover of their 2006 reunion album, Sir Lord Baltimore III Raw.[5]

so much fun to crank up yer own eeelectrik geetiar, put on a whole side of houserocking geils and rock out.
I think one main reason I could care less about local yokal blues bands is they can never be as much fun as I have just jamming along with Geils.
Can't find a youtube clip for Funky Judge...dammit.
