A TRAVESTY....

Current mood: COMPOSED
Category: COMPOSED Music

So, I did that 5 most important songs thing a few days ago and as i was writing up my reasons, I realised i'd left off one very important one...

It's strange how time and vast quantities of booze and pot erase ones memory...

Anyway, this evening I stumbled upon the video to the self same song and realised this was probably the most important song of my life..

I first saw this video and then got into this band, and since then I've never once seen this vid again, though i know the track back to front and inside out...

'You Can't Bring Me Down'
By Suicidal Tendencies.

This was a hugely important song for me between the ages of 16 and 19. At that time, I was getting thrown about on construction sites and spending time in police cells and this was the song in my head helping me to deal with what was something a good Methodist boy was far from used too.....

It's also a true megalomaniacs charter

So here we go - the real number 1 track for the young Giovanni

'You Can't Bring Me Down'
By Suicidal Tendencies

Just cause you don't understand what's going on
...don't mean it don't make no sense
And just cause you don't like it,...don't mean it aint no good

And let me tell you something

Before you go taking a walk in my world,
...you better take a look at the real world
Cause this aint no Mr. Rogers Neighborhood

Can you say "feel like shit?"
Yea maybe sometimes I do feel like shit
I aint happy about it, but I'd rather feel like shit
...than be full of shit!

And if I offended you, Oh I'm sorry
But, maybe you needed to be offended
But here's my apology and one more thing...Fuck you!

Cause you can't bring me down
Bring me down - you can't bring me down!
Bring me down - you can't bring me down, no!
Bring me down - you can't bring me down!
Bring me down - you can't bring me down, you can't bring me
down!

I think it explains a lot...

	Eric EXiT	Wicked awesome. Y'know its kind of amazing that I always loved the self-titled album so much that I never picked up LCR. Clearly that will have to be remedied. My own personal punk rock break-through/ break-out album was Dead Kennedys "Give Me Convenience..." That first Suicidal album was right in there too though, thanks for reminding me (and reminding me to get LCR.") Fight the power. -E Posted by Eric EXiT on Monday, June 25, 2007 at 00:08 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	Paul GIOVANNI 3RD a.k.a The Pop Pope	I was listening to the first album tonight because i found i didn't have LCR????? ST is another great record... And what a brilliant title LIGHTS CAMERA REVOLUTION is.... Perfect for how things are now, except maybe it should be LIGHTS. MAKEUP, LIGHTS. MAKEUP, CAMERA, PAUSE, MORE MAKE UP, MORE FUCKING MAKE UP!!!, BOOB JOB, SMILE!!!!!!!!!!!!! REVOLUTION - (when the commercials are on).... I'm downloading it now... I don't know too much of the Dead Kens, I'll get some of that downloaded too.... Posted by Paul GIOVANNI 3RD a.k.a The Pop Pope on Monday, June 25, 2007 at 00:18 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	LeDou©he™	"Who the hell you calling crazy? You wouldn't know what crazy was if Charles Manson ...was eating Fruit Loops on your front porch" i had this on tape at least 10 times. gone are the days of listening to an album so much that it gets worn out . it's also funny because i've been rocking out ST's 1st record. what an underrated band. their punk was very punk and their metal, very metal.

	Paul GIOVANNI 3RD a.k.a The Pop Pope	A classic band featuring some of the best lyrics to ever come out of such heavy sounds.. I think they danced nicely inbetween genres. They were never clearly one thing or another and I loved the way Mr Muir never gave a flying fuck about who he annoyed... All of their LPs have their merits, but my favourites would be LCR, Suicidal Tendencies & The Art Of Rebellion..
