jimmykc Posted April 7, 2018 Report Posted April 7, 2018 Wasn't Micah Heibel or some other football player in Brain Hammer or do I misremember? Quote
atskooc Posted April 7, 2018 Report Posted April 7, 2018 I just had a request for some Public Enemy at the junior high dance I'm DJing. I was impressed with that request (though I couldn't play it). I grew up on PE. Quote

Micah Heibel fronted Brain Hammer, or as it says on their CD, "Micah Heibel - Sellin' it like a mother." Quote

Devaney Center 1980. Opened the show with "Funeral For a Friend" Three Dog Night. Peony Park early 80's. All 7 original band members. Front row seats and beers were flowing. Sat next to Clay Michaels. (See if anyone remembers that name...) Jethro Tull. Civic Aud 81ish. Unfrickinreal. Bob Seger. PBA. Couple years ago. Saw him at Century Link a year or two before. Much better the 2nd time. He had health issues while in Omaha. Simon and Garfunkel with a special appearance by the Everly Brothers. Quest Center a year or so after it opened. Awesome seats. Awesome atmosphere. Awesome music. I knew I forgot a big one. Neil Diamond at the Civic Auditorium circa 1995. Bugeaters1 and Cazzie22 1 1 Quote

John Lee Hooker Howlin' Wolf Bob Marley Stevie Wonder Sly and the Family Stone Parliament Funkadelic Guy or any of Teddy Riley's New Jack Swing Public Enemy Mighty Mighty Bosstones Citizen Cope Jack Johnson Dispatch/State Radio anything Chadwick Stokes Urmston jayschool and Bugeaters1 2 Quote

But half of those were seriously entertained by the last working band I was in in the mid 80s. I really, really wanted "HaHa Death Camp". We wound up being Sid and the Four Skins...heh heh. And lasted for about 5 gigs. jayschool 1 Quote

Nice I like them a lot, but don't consider them Rock and Roll. I also really like Stevie Wonder... He was listed on here, but he is definitely not RnR. Quote

Johnson said: Since many of you often use rock and roll clips in your various posts, I would like to know your favorite rock groups. Many of you seem to be into the music scene (at least the classic rock groups!) So who do you like? I will start with my favs (not really in order) 1. The Beatles (of course) 2. The Clash 3. The Replacements 4. INXS 5. Green Day 6. Death Cab For Cutie As you can see the 60's British invasion, the 80's punk/new wave sound and modern and classic alternative for me. I saw the Replacements at the Drum Stick around 1984 or 1985! Awesome show! Edited May 2, 2018 by BigTate jayschool 1 Quote
