the jolt?anyone recall them?

A really great site for punk stuff,hell even my band are mentioned in it and the Billy Idol quote mentioned in the thread is from a mate and former playing partner of mine and an excellent bassist to boot as well as a champion skydiver( couldn't fall out of bed properly when he was younger though!!).

I've got it now Ace and I have to say I'm a bit disappointed with it.
Some tracks sound 25 years too late whilst a couple of others sound like Cyberpunk offcasts.

I don't think he thought this one out and is trying to please the old fans with a stolen sound.

Pretty gutted considering Cyberpunk was amazingly ahead of its time.

The opening track Super Overdrive starts off like a punk relic track and then turns into a Foo Fighters sounding thing.

I'll play it over a few times but on first hearing, I'm not as hooked as I was with Cyberpunk.

Sorry to hear that Holden, still, its better than 'Charmed Life' a Billy Idol release sans Steve Stevens in 1990

[Holden MacGroyn]

I've had it on loop and it's growing on me bit by bit.
I think Evil Eye is by far the best track.

I also picked up the Rebel Yell expanded edition with the demo's and session takes on it.
Hopefully we wont have to wait another decade for a new release.

Cheers for the heads up on it!

the song was used in a advert yrs ago,think it was for peanuts?there was a good looking girl in the ad too.

[Holden MacGroyn]

I remember it well Steve.
The girl had long dark hair from what I remember.

KP nuts I think....dammit I'm a sad loser.

[steve56]

yeah thats her,she reminded me of a girl i knew from school in 1968 [adrienne]

I have this album as well, I have listened to it twice and its not that bad, the chorus of 'evil eye' sounds a cross between ozzy osbourne and Judas Priest (not a bad thing), 'lady do or die' is the worse track in my opinion (probably cos it sounds like country and western) 'sherri' and 'scream' are the ones that I liked best on first listen but I will keep listening and hopefully it will grow on me.

[Holden MacGroyn]

You're spot on about the C&W sounding track.
I was like, "what the fuck are you thinking Billy boy!"
