Here is a quick review of the band...."Junkyard never
attained the same level of commercial success achieved by other pop-metal
acts of the late 80s like Motley Crue, but they were at least as deserving
of such success.
Mixing pop metal with classic
Southern rock, Junkyard's debut album blew me away when it came out. I
was a huge Lynyrd Skynyrd fan and had long been curious what it might
sound like if a band took Skynyrd's sound and made it heavier.
Junkyard proved
to be just the band I was looking for. Songs like "Blooze" and "Texas"
just plain rock out, while "Simple Man" really does make you
want to "grab your keys and your cigarettes and disappear into the
night" even if like myself, you don't actually smoke. "Hands
Off" is arguably the best song on the album - both lyrically and
musically this song shows what a special band Junkyard were.
Junkyard rocked and lived hard,
and were said to be difficult to drag into the studio to record albums.
Thus, we are left with only two real albums by these guys, the first of
which I believe to be the best. If you do find that you like Junkyard's
Junkyard as much as I do, try your best to find an old copy of their fine follow-up Sixes,
Sevens, and Nines.These
guys should have been stars...."
I've been telling everyone that Saturday was the best show I've been to so far in 2008. On second thought, it may be the most kick-ass show I've seen this millennium.
One of the best shows I have seen in years! Dave was like an animal! Chris is a great Taxas blues guitarist. Solid rythym section. Good luck in Spain,and beyond!!
Leave it to Junkyard. 20 years after their last local show, they stroll into a 500 cap room in Hollywood, pack it to the rafters, and blow the fuckin' roof off the place. Ya know... everyone talks about new rock bands that are supposed combinations of Motorhead, AC/DC, Stones, and Ramones. Well, Junkyard is the only one which truly embodies the spirit of all those bands. They started it long before anyone else and they are still kicking ass. MUCH RESPECT.
That was so much fun last night!!! We had a great time! You all sounded so fabulous, glad you got to meet Addie! Have a blast in Spain, take care of her daddy for me!!!!
Sorry fellas I tried but the band and I (singer) don't get along all that well. I think Terry found god and doesn't want to be influenced by the devil's music. Kelly in back on the bottle (I think). Jimmy and I, have a love hate relationship (I love him and he hates me) and Geoff is a super cool guy who I admire as a drummer but even more a person.
well' i'm now the morning after bitch! last night was like a time warp...Gates was on, and Roach sounded fucking great...and i can't see because of this headache!...thanks for the Rock.
Bros..This is a rock n roll event. 89 at the Cat Club NYC..Good rock dont die brothers...gets better with age man. were gonna drink some BLOOZE ON 5/10 FUCKERS!!
That would really suck big time Mr. Bob Ludlaw , to get there and not get in ! I hope you get your tickets ! Dropped in to say hello to my guys ! Doesnt matter if you think you arent my guys . I say ya are so ya are . Love ya ! Hugsssssssssssssssssss , Sandi
So Junkyard Boy's, Here's One From The Past, "Got Any Room On The Guest List"? I Tried To Get Tix for Saturday, And Was Unable To : ( Please Tell Me There Is A Way To Get In!!! I Must Go To The Show, I CAnnot Miss It!!!
Fuckin' A! Less Than A Week Away! Can't Wait, It's Only Been About 19 Years Since The Last JUNKYARD Show I Caught, Dont Have Tix Yet, But I Will Be There!!!
