Current members of Guns N’ Roses and the Rolling Stones form the nucleus of a new group called Dead Daisies, which just concluded an Israeli tour. A EP of new band-written material is also in the works.

Dizzy Reed and Richard Fortus from GN’R, and Stones bassist Darryl Jones join singer Jon Stevens, guitarist David Lowy and drummer Charley Drayton in Dead Daisies. Reed is the longest-tenured member of Guns n’ Roses, after Axl Rose. Drayton is best known for his earlier work with the Divinyls, while Stevens had a stint in INXS. Stevens and Lowy have also worked with GN’R alum Slash on some of the music.

Reed says the group is taking a no-nonsense approach: “We actually recorded three new songs in the middle of that last tour,” Reed says. “When people hear it – there’s not a lot of bands doing this – I think they’re pleasantly surprised. You’re making people happy because you’re playing good rock ’n’ roll music. There’s not any other way to describe it. It’s just good rock ’n’ roll music.”

Reed says he will juggle commitments with GN’R while continuing in Dead Daisies. The band hopes to enter the studio sometime during its February tour of Australia.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 43 years since Black Sabbath unleashed the classic ‘Paranoid’ album on a largely unsuspecting public.

Released on Jan. 7, 1971 in the U.S. — and four months earlier, Sept. 18, 1970 overseas — the band’s second album would prove to be not only one of the defining moments in their catalog, but also for all of heavy metal. With their self-titled debut album, Black Sabbath had established their unique style, and had begun to build a devoted audience. ‘Paranoid’ would follow a similar path, but with a more focused energy and greater detail to songwriting, ultimately opening the door to worldwide commercial success.

The album kicks off full force with ‘War Pigs’, which was the working title of the LP. The doom-laden, riff-heavy track is a powerhouse, not only musically, but lyrically as well, standing as one of the more potent anti-war songs of the era. “You could just see a lot of things going wrong in the world, and nobody was saying anything about it,” bassist and lyricist Geezer Butler recalled in the ‘Paranoid: Classic Albums’ documentary, “Bob Dylan had long since faded from the present memory and there was nobody talking about the stuff I wanted to talk about, political stuff, so that’s what inspired me.”

The band are noticeably tighter and the songs more focused on the album. The title track is a pure and solid punch of rock and roll. ‘Paranoid’ is the normally expansive Sabbath sound distilled into a straight ahead three minute song. The simplistic riff at it’s core has all the energy of punk rock, with a razor sharp metallic attack. Ozzy Osbourne‘s vocal attack is spot on and the hard edged production of Rodger Bain still resonates with brutal power all these years later. Gears shift instantly with ‘Planet Caravan,’ a moody, psychedelic number that rolls along on waves of conga drums, phased vocals and mellow guitars. It is another fine example of Black Sabbath never being the one-trick pony their detractors claimed them to be. “We always liked variation,” adds Butler, “I think that’s another Beatles influence. We didn’t do a ‘heavy metal’ album from track one to track ten or whatever.”

‘Iron Man’ is up next to round out side one. Tony Iommi‘s guitar riff belongs on the Mount Everest of massive riffs, right alongside ‘Smoke On The Water’ or ‘Louie Louie.’ The tale of overcoming obstacles and seeking revenge in a world gone wrong connected perfectly with the band’s fans — and along with the title track, helped get the band on American radio.

Side two kicks in with the evil glowing stomp of ‘Electric Funeral,’ which continues the themes of despair and impending apocalypse. Once again, Ozzy’s vocal line follows the riff of Iommi’s guitar and combines with Butler’s bass to create a powerhouse wall of sound. The song breaks off midway for a metallic jazz spiral, before landing firmly back on planet riff.

‘Hand Of Doom’ is a startling track with yet another jagged riff at its heart, this time out tackling the horrors of drug addiction, in particular, the addiction of soldiers returning from Vietnam as junkies. The interplay of the rhythm section is stellar, and Ozzy delivers one of his finest vocals of the album. ‘Rat Salad’ is a brief showcase for Bill Ward that sets the table for album closer ‘Fairies Wear Boots.’ The jazz-driven tempo takes the song into another direction and proves once again that there was more to these guys than just heavy plodding. Iommi, Ward and Butler create a sonic metal swing groove that gets heavier and heavier as it sails along, making it a perfect way to close up the album.

The album was released in January of 1971 in America, and came just shy of the US Top 10, paving the way for the continued accession of the band. It topped the UK charts upon release a few months earlier. “It was such a brilliant time,” recalled drummer Bill Ward in an interview with Kerrang. “We were constantly touring. The music was the beginning of a new era. I think it was the crucible of something that was to be way bigger than us.”

Stars of the Lid - The Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid.

Effort finding link. Is nice and most definitely appropriate for how I feel, which is absolutely exhausted.
 
^ I've heard bits and pieces from Stars of the Lid but don't know them at all well. I do know that they're one of me brother's fave bands though and have liked what I've heard. Great title too =D

Thought it was a bit late to see you posting - nighty, Snollz <3

Skimmed a couple tracks on the offchance but sounded pretty much like G'n'R (second rate G'n'R at that) so will leave you to it. However, one of the recommendations down the side was...

Pink Fairies - Waiting For The Man (live '75)

... and given Pink Fairies are great, and I've somehow missed this (really rather good) cover of one of my fave tunes, I'll thank you for the linkies all the same =D

Thanks Bob (Robert Calvert)

I'm an urban guerilla
I make bombs in my cellar
I'm a derelict dweller
I'm a potential killer
I'm a street fighting dancer
I'm a revolutionary romancer
I'm society's cancer
I'm a two-tone panther
So let's not talk of love and flowers
And things that don't explode
We've used up all of our magic powers
Trying to do it in the road

I'm a political bandit
And you don't understand it
You took my dream and canned it
It is not the way I planned it
I'm society's destructor
I'm a petrol bomb constructor
I'm a cosmic light conductor
I'm the people's debt collector
So watch out Mr. Business Man
Your empire's about to blow
I think you'd better listen, man
In case you did not know

you should start writing lyrics, they may be drug induced ramblings, but the last line in particular sounds like something Mark E Smith of The Fall would sarcastically spit out in his gruff Mancunian styleeee.

Random/bizzare/mad/creative genius, its all the same thing sometimes. =D

Heres an example if you're not familliar with them, the tune breaks open the drumbeats for an euphoric chorus. ;)

The Fall_R.O.D.

Took several listens for this to grow on me, but i fuckin loved it ever since it did. Its a masterpiece.

Mr Smith appears to be a complete cunt though, john peel was virtually the only dj to play and champion their music, and when he died mark e smith was asked to pay tribute to john peel, he damned peel with faint praise, ungratefull bastard, hed have nothing if it wasnt for Peel. :!

They are very good live too.
