[kj] (OT) When bands go really 'off'

[LONESTYLE at aol.com]

So true Dave! Have you read the book by Stinky Turner " Cockney Reject"? It 
 is an OK read, and not that great, but they talk about going metal and 
that  Olympic gig as well. I find some of it far fetch like being held hostage 
by  Roger (bass player of Circle Jerks) with a gun in a hotel room in LA! 
Come on!  Even if they had longer hair they would put the boot in on that guy! 
 HA! 
 
I got to catch them finally in San Francisco in 2001 playing the 3 day  
"Holidays in the Sun" tour, with "Sham 69", "Anti Nowhere League","Slaughter  & 
The Dogs","GBH" and others. They great and put on a good show  for fat old 
men. ;)  
 
That is great you got a tribute band Dave! Love the name, and you got to do 
 the metal stuff! I'll pay for that!
 
Cheers,

The  Cockney Rejects are one of the greatest "bands going off" 
stories!   From total no-nonsense punk  to AC/DC and UFO, then onto really  
REALLY ridiculous stuff with funk leanings, country and western and just  
general BAD IDEAS! It's truly hilarious! Stinky Turner being called  
Jefferson Turner on the metal stuff. Half the band at the Olympic gig  
mentioned hadn't even heard the old songs like Police Car...they were  
planning on doing all their "great" new stuff. It was just like "WHAT ARE  
YOU DOING? STOP IT!"
My Rejects piss-take band the Jockney Rejects are  doing our first gig in 
years in a few months... if only we could be  bothered to learn all the 
awful later stuff to show that even piss-take  "tribute" bands can 
"progress". But we can't.

Dave in  Edinburgh
