Date: April 30th, 2024 4:10 PM Author: contagious juggernaut I think their fatal flaw was cashing the nostalgia ticket in real time, so their fans were buying a chance to miss the 70s.
Now, when people miss the 90s no one misses the Black Crowes
They don't sound 90s any more than the Allman Bros or something.
Same trap for Lenny Kravitz, who at least clings to some celebrity |

I think they’re opening for Aerosmith though, so I guess they’re doing ok. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5523235&forum_id=2...id#47622182) |

Date: April 30th, 2024 4:26 PM Author: contagious juggernaut they were kind of the band who "opens for an aerosmith nostalgia tour" at the peak of their own youth, which is my point. They are now as old as aerosmith was when "shake your moneymaker" came out, and theyre still opening for aerosmith
donning the bell bottoms in 1991 was a way to hit a sure double, and never a HR |

Date: April 30th, 2024 4:30 PM Author: Henna principal's office True, but a lot of that I think was they didn’t know how to sell them. If they came out a few years earlier, the record company would have made them tease their hair and wear makeup. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5523235&forum_id=2...id#47622198) |

Date: April 30th, 2024 4:37 PM Author: contagious juggernaut they predated it by a cunthair. In 1991 grunge hadnt arrived.
i remember an old rolling stone interview when they were attacking REM. That was the quality of their opposition initially.
By their second album, grunge had exploded and their window was closed |

their first hit, hard to handle, was a cover - but i believe of an otis redding song no rock radio listener had ever heard, so may as well have been original |

Date: April 30th, 2024 5:19 PM Author: Cracking Sex Offender Ladyboy she talks to angels was really mopey and morose for a pop single.
the same thing kind of happened to collective soul, even though they tried a bit harder to 're-invent' themselves as more of a pop act at the start of the 00's. |
