Ju Ju Hounds debut album short review 是歌迷对Ju Ju Hounds debut album的评论A short review Ju Ju Hounds debut albumThe following short review was posted in the Guns N' Roses newsgroup shortly after the release of the Ju Ju Hounds album. I'd like to thank Jeff Boerio for sending a 1MB file archive of the newsgroup which contained a few gems, including this review. Now, it's been such a long time that I don't think he even remembers! ;)Included text follows: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Date: 05 Nov 1992 11:41:15 -0500 (EST)From: MATT SUROWIEC - CROWEHEAD Subject: IZZY STRADLIN REVIEW PART 1To: [email protected]: University at Buffalowell, here's the review y'all requested, if anyone knows how to postthis in vnews, would they please do so?|------------------------------------|| IZZY STRADLIN AND THE JU JU HOUNDS | a review by CROWEHEAD|------------------------------------|first of all, i bought the CD the day it came out. i had already made atape of all of Izzy's stuff from both Illusions albums, and from Lies andAppetite. i like Izzy for a number of reasons, he doesn't mince words inhis songs, his voice is a lot easier to listen to than Axl's, and he worshipsKeith Richards.last i heard (Rolling Stone), Izzy is planning a tour with his new band,the JU JU HOUNDS. the article also explained why Izzy didn't show up forthe video shoot for "Don't Cry" and how he was pissed off at Axl for notshowing up on time for shows, and for not having a definite schedule forthe recording of "Use Your Illusion I + II"the cover of the CD is all in gold tones, of water, and natives dressedin harvest costumes, wearing stilts and walking above the water.by the way, this is my second attempt at sending this, thefirst one was 300 lines long and got eatenso track by track, here we go------>SOMEBODY KNOCKIN' A----------------the lyrics are about Izzy's quest for privacy, which was glamorized inthe one Rolling Stone article about him having his own bus, travelingwithout being recognized:"Somebody, somebody's knockin on my door Somebody, somebody that wasn't here before What's that, the police or C.I.A. ? Could be some magazine, could be some lost friend, i could not say... there was a time, i would not mind"it's a Stonesy slow rock tune, but Izzy is able to create his own"clean guitar" rock sound, like the Crowes did, and like the Stones did.critics who judge a book by it's cover can't see that, and they'd bequick to dismiss the sound as a "retro-Stones-Faces" sounds, butconossiuers (sp?) can tell the difference.this one flows very smoothly, and Izzy's voice is smoother than on"Double Talkin' Jive" or "Dust N' Bones"a great opening songPRESSURE DROP A+-------------this is one of two songs that Izzy didn't write.it's a borderline speed metal song, but it doesn't sound metal at all,more like speed rock, reminiscent of the speed of the original version

of "You're Crazy" off of "Appetite for Destruction".it has the "Knockin'" chord sequence (G D C) albeit VERY FAST:"Pressure drop, oh pressure, oh yeah pressure got the drop on you...""When it drops, oh, you got to feel it, oh what you been doing wrong..."the rest of the lyrics are pretty much indistinguishableand for a twist, it ends with a reggae beatTIME GONE BY B+/A-------------the return of the "Brownstone-Bo Diddley" beathis one's all acoustic, reminiscent of "You Ain't the First"Bit's a self-analyzation song, Izzy thinking back to his days with GNR Trying to think back (?) Not much come back one thing I do remember remember words were said time fills the pages turn the page time will not stop it will have it's way on you received a letter from over sea said if you come back would you like to see me then i recognized that time has changed my face time fills the pages turn the page time will not stop it will have it's way on you[ excellent slide solo here ] time fills the pages turn the page time will not stop it will have it's way on you saw my brother last week today said what's going? he said the same old thing do you remember? when time was all we had? now i count the hours didn't count the days didn't stop to wonder what time would bringSHUFFLE IT ALL A+--------------this song has been getting a lot on airplay in Toronto, mostly on Q-107,and 97.7 HITS-FM.if you cross breed "Beast of Burden", "Tumbling Dice", "Bad Luck Blue EyesGoodbye", and "Bad" by U2, and throw a Wurlitzer organ in with them, you'llget this song.the bass, guitar, and organ blend incredibly on this song, each instrumenthas it's own riff, and they create an awesome sound.if you get the chance, listen to this song while watching the sunrise,it has that kind of feeling to it.it's a slow rocker, slower than "Somebody's Knockin'"the lyrics kinda tell a story, possibly autobiographical"Boredom saturation is a never ending clue isn't just a field of time when there's nothing else to do boredom out of New York (he had an open sing ?) and driving just thru Texas 2 days she ended up in L.A. Shuffle it All Pack up your life again...the next verse deals with the hardshipsthe bridge is excellent, and i'll let you hear that for yourselffinally: feel the motors winding on it ain't no news If you see those old friends out there tell them that I send my love wake up time to leave again try to find my shoes put the luggage in the van (?) Shuffle it allover all an excellent song, this one's been on MTVone comment though: i keep waiting for Mick Jagger to start singing alongon the "Who-hoo-hoo" sBUCKET O'TROUBLE B+/A-----------------another speed rock song, with a very punkish edge"I say what do you want I said lies I think you better go with a ride to London (?) the time come to blow tell you one more sundown (?) you wanna know the score? it's just a bucket o' trouble you haven't got a clue face set to rumble (?)excellent get pumped song, or one to just blitz your mindPART 2 (the last five songs) will follow soon, mid-terms are over so i have more time nowlater!"There's no logic here todaydo as you got to, go your own wayi said that's righttime's short, your life's your ownand in the end we're all justDust n' Bones, Dust n' Bones"....and a whole lotta soul man, a whole lotta soulCROWEHEAD"i've got a head full or sermons and a mouth full of spiders"Alex Alexander [email protected] R&D CIS - 71005,5067156 Shady Oak Rd.
