Re: Porno For Pyros Reveal Reunion Plans
I coincidentally just listened to the Strays version of "Suffer Some" today for the first time in a long time.. and I didn't enjoy it. Just made me want to listen to the old version. But take that and "Wrong Girl" off and that album is fine. Not great, but fine. (I know most fans hate "Superhero" too, but I never had a problem with it.)
And I kinda like about half of Satellite Party, especially "Hard Life Easy" with Flea and Frusciante.

Re: Porno For Pyros Reveal Reunion Plans
Strays is a really good rock album. I think I am the only one who loathes Just Because, but I like Superhero and Suffer Some, though not as much as the older version.
SP had a couple of listenable tracks, but I've forgotten them except a cover of Celebrate. Nuno was a really good guitarist. They played a flash mob thingy at the corner of Abbot Kinney and Washington in Venice with some girl on keys who impressed....and a guy on drums who looked liked the uber douche on The 70's Show on drums. Nuno escaped and some tall lanky guy took his place and fought and lost with his guitar whenever they met....horrible

I have honestly never listen to satellite party or Panic Channel all the way through. I just remember being so profoundly disappointed with both that I could not bring myself to do it.

Re: Porno For Pyros Reveal Reunion Plans
For me, The Panic Channel's album was better than Satellite Party's one. I still listen to TPC.
But I really love "Wish upon a dog star", "Hard life easy" and "The solutionists" from SP.

SP is miles ahead of both TPC and TGEA

Satellite Party was goofy, but at least the songs had some texture and atmosphere. And you get some flashes of post relapse, pre-SYTBS Perry here and there oddly enough. Overall, it does sound more connected to what Perry was doing before Strays, and that is a good thing in my eyes. I'm not saying it's a good album, just that it has some redeeming qualities in hindsight. SP is also a really great example of an album/band brought way down by its aesthetic choices (especially the album cover). Had that aspect been better, I really do think we'd be a bit more forgiving. But still, no one would love it.
It's for sure better than Panic Channel in any event. That was straight "token rock band on Vh1 top 20 countdown" garbage.

Re: Porno For Pyros Reveal Reunion Plans
uh oh...people talking shit about the Panic Chanel. The Six7 signal has been activated. Prepare for retaliation.
If you want the real order of suckyness from best to worst it is:
Strays>Satellite Party>SYTBS>TGEA>Panic Chanel

I remember when the cover of the SP album was put up on, I think Amazon, and everybody started making fun of it on xiola, only for Etty to show up in the thread trying to deny that it was the actual coverNoonesshocking wrote:SP is also a really great example of an album/band brought way down by its aesthetic choices (especially the album cover)
She tried saying that it was something Perry was just messing around with in Photoshop and somehow that image got leaked to Amazon by mistake or some other nonsense. Too funny.
Oh, I just remembered. This was the one put up on Amazon.
The one they released was actually worse because it cut out the rest of the band and was now called "Perry Farrell's Satellite Party"
Re: Porno For Pyros Reveal Reunion Plans
If my bad memory is right I remember this was the "leaked" cover.
It was then edited to the final cover.
...by the way when I was looking for that cover I came across my dumb version of the cover featuring some old board members.

Re: Porno For Pyros Reveal Reunion Plans
remember this guy?

starts around 22:00 minutes in.
Is there any footage of the Goballee show in Golden Gate Park from this era? Perry wore the same outfit. They played Happy BDay Jubilee and Admit I. I had it on video but probably lost it.

We complain about Etty being on stage and the suspension stuff with Jane's but this show is a reminder of how bad a stage show/circus really can be.
Re: Porno For Pyros Reveal Reunion Plans
That's the first time I've seen that show outside of a few brief clips from MTV News and some pictures of it in SPIN magazine.
Re: Porno For Pyros Reveal Reunion Plans
yeah but i loved those shows. the current thing is a staged bit of stupidity. that seemed to me, the few times I saw it, a genuine freak side show. i've been to other freak shows. it's not like Laurence olivier showed up. they're freaks and carny's.creep wrote:We complain about Etty being on stage and the suspension stuff with Jane's but this show is a reminder of how bad a stage show/circus really can be.
but perry was still perry.
he seemed to get the stage denizens from way down low where the streets are littered. i wonder if they're all still alive. except for perkins, given how fucked up the band was, it's a wonder they are.
plus martyn was a monster. love that guy.
