[quote]The “chaos” episode is greatness.[/quote] That episode was loosely based on "The Onion Field" I absolutely loved that show... I remember no one else I knew really watched it, so 5 seasons was a nice run.. although, I guess technically it was cancelled after the first season.....

Those first couple of records are really good... I haven't listened in years though! I kinda got bored with the whole Jack White thing and stopped paying attention to WS and any of his other projects... Talented guy though......

[quote]I bought the tickets well in advance and it was billed as Squeeze as the headliner. Seems like they are sort of on equal footing in terms of popularity/legacy...so maybe they alternated the order of shows?? Not sure really.

Posted by TFTC on 5/20/24 at 3:22 pm

I never cared for them at the time they came out and in retrospect, still don't.. But that's just my personal taste.. To answer your question though, I think they were percieved as part of the fallout of every major label A&R guy trying to latch on to the next big thing... And that they never re...

[quote]smoothed the transition from hair metal to grunge[/quote] I can't think of one... Most of the bands that were considered "grunge" were the antithesis of Hair Metal... Gun to head, I'd probably say Mother Love Bone......

I gotta say, I have always really liked this song.. I don't know much about the Killers music outside of a handful of their hits.. which are okay, too.. but this song is just really fun! I know a bit about their back story from reading Matt Pinfield's book (he was trying to sign them when he w...
