Queen (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia All band members, especially Mercury, noted frustration and disappointment with the album, and as a result, took a break from the breakneck schedule of one or more albums a year, and focused during the year of 1979 totally on a new album to come out in 1980. Since the band's beginning, nearly all songs had been written by and credited to a single member, with each of the other members often adding minimal creative input, and instead helping the original writer to realise their vision for the song. The band had a number of bass players during this period, but it was not until 1971 that they found John Deacon and started to rehearse for the first album, Queen. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Queen_(band)   (7165 words)

LINK Music AZ - Grateful Arizona: Valley Musicians Keep the Music of the Grateful Dead Alive It was a journey when members of the Tempe-based band used to travel to see the Dead play, never knowing quite what to expect but knowing the show would be good anyway. It was a journey when members of the now-defunct No Hobo band, also a Dead cover band in the Valley, moved on to create The Noodles. Nearly every year, Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead used to bring their show to Phoenix until Garcia's death in August of 1995, ending a tradition that was a way of life for many fans. www.linkmusicaz.com /issue11/gratefuldead.htm   (721 words)

Hartford Advocate: Dead is Alive Garcia may be gone, but with the continued release of material from the band's extensive vaults, the surviving band members' flourishing solo projects, and the surprising demand for touring Dead cover bands like Dark Star Orchestra, one thing's clear: the long, strange trip of the Grateful Dead continues. Since its notorious beginnings as the house band for the 1965-1966 California acid tests thrown by Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters, the Dead is rock 'n' roll's greatest anomaly. The change allowed the Dead to reach two audiences: the early fans born out of the chaotic musical freedom of the '60s, and waves of newcomers who discovered a repertoire filled with Garcia's shimmering guitar lines bookending uplifting, catchy choruses. old.hartfordadvocate.com /articles/gratefuldead.html   (2906 words)

Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Right Round baby... Dead or Alive rose from the ashes of Burns' band Nightmare In Wax, an atypical late '70s Liverpool band in that they cared neither about their image nor the quality of their music. Despite the attention the band received because of their image their music failed to impress, and as the decade wound on their record label began to weary of the band's lack of a hit. With the change in 1980 to Dead or Alive came a more somber, melodramatic tone, and a good deal of attention was given to Burns' gender-bending look. www.80smusiclyrics.com /artists/deadoralive.htm   (288 words)

Timbo's Liverpool - Dead Or Alive Dead Or Alive evolved from the band, Mystery Girls in 1977 with Pete Burns on Vocals, Phil Hurst on Drums, Pete Wylie on Guitar and Julian Cope on Bass. Dead Or Alive produced a several successful records including the Number One hits 'That's the Way I like it' and 'You Spin Me Round (like a Record)'. It was in May 1980 that Rock Band Dead Or Alive were formed, led by Pete Burns and his androgynous look. www.timbosliverpool.co.uk /entertainment/music/deadoralive.htm   (207 words)

The Citizens Voice - 'The Dead' comes alive at Montage Dead concerts have been known to surpass the four-hour mark due to the band's gleefully unpredictable improvisations. Three Dead keyboardists were claimed by drugs and alcohol, while several well-known solo artists, including Bob Dylan, Bruce Hornsby and Joan Osborne, have lent their services to the band at various times. True, The Dead's core group remains familiar, but change is something Deadheads have gotten plenty used to throughout the band's long history. www.zwire.com /site/news.cfm?BRD=2259&dept_id=455149&newsid=12538909&PAG=461&rfi=9   (548 words)

Rocket: A Tribute to Dead or Alive Pete Burns and his band, Dead or Alive, are the subject of Rocket: A Tribute to Dead or Alive. Baxendale, a UK based band, follow with "Come Home With Me Baby", and while I couldn't find confirmation of this on the Official Dead Or Alive site to know for sure, there is some usage of the F-word on this track. The result is an eclectic and electric listening experience that highlights Dead or Alive’s formidable lyrical talents—an aspect of the band that has been overshadowed by frontman Pete Burns’s outrageous gender-bending appearance. www.doatribute.com /reviews.html   (1318 words)

print_article.jsp?article=2762264&_loopback=1 Being basically a cover band, it is rather remarkable that DSO has enjoyed the success it has, but Deadheads are a loyal bunch and are always on the lookout for something to fill the void left by the original band's demise. Instead of just playing the Dead's well-known tunes, Kadlecik thought it would be better to go back into that band's past, pick a concert and re-create that show in its entirety and Dark Star Orchestra was born. From the highs of the band came a staggering low as keyboardist and co-founder Scott Larned passed away on April 24 at the age of 35 from a heart attack. www.connpost.com /portlet/article/html/fragments/print_article.jsp?article=2762264&_loopback=1   (919 words)

Hellride Music Dead Man aLive is a retrospective look at the band, including a very well done 16 page booklet on the history of Josefus. Texas's Josefus was one of those hard rock bands during the late 60's and 70's that just missed the big time due to internal squabbling, bad management choices, and come 1978/79, the dreaded disco era. The last group of songs highlights the reunion of the band, eight years after they disintegrated in a valiant effort to beat disco to the punch. www.hellridemusic.com /bands/j/josefus_review.shtml   (328 words)

Dead or Alive MP3 Downloads - Dead or Alive Music Downloads - Dead or Alive Music Videos Whether or not Dead or Alive was the first synth-goth band in history is a bit open to debate, but they were unquestionably in on the ground floor somewhere. With the resurgence of '80s nostalgia reaching a feverish pitch in the late '90s (ex-Culture Club reunion, package tours of '80s artists, etc.), it should come as no surprise that '80s cross-dressers Dead Or Alive have returned with Nukleopatra, their first release in over a decade. Even if the band couldn't resist including two remixes of their... www.mp3.com /dead-or-alive/artists/3429/discography.html   (290 words)

deseretnews.com Drummer says Dead is alive and kickin' Hart said the decision to tour again as the Dead had less to do with Garcia and was more a matter of band members putting aside some of their differences. The Grateful Dead, now touring with its four original surviving members simply as the Dead, return to Utah Tuesday as part of their "Wave That Flag" 2004 summer tour. In fact, Hart said this is the best the band has been in 20 years, using words like "re-invigorated" and "re-born" to describe the current tour. deseretnews.com /dn/view/0,1249,595072833,00.html   (460 words)

Nightmares in Wax - Free Music Downloads, Videos, CDs, MP3s, Bio, Merchandise and Links Neither did the band truly die, rather it evolved into the even more memorable Dead or Alive. This, he claimed, was because he didn't want to be associated with the arty bands now permeating the Liverpool scene: Echo & the Bunnymen, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Dalek I Love You, and so forth. Nightmares in Wax was dead, Dead or Alive was born, and Burn's rise to stardom was now beginning in earnest. www.artistdirect.com /nad/music/artist/bio/0,,1143244,00.html   (581 words)

Dead Alive Dead Alive plays a type of music that the band calls 'Ghoulrock.' It is essentially a mixture of Goth (Bauhaus, the Cure, Christian Death, Sisters of Mercy), Punk (the Misfits, the Casualties, the Sex Pistols, Crass), and Metal (old Megadeth, old Metallica, Sepultura, Anthrax). At times the band has also experimented with Hip-Hop (ICP, NWA, Eminem, Hot Boys), Industrial (Ministry, Skinny Puppy, Rammstein, Nine Inch Nails) and Irish/American folk/murder-ballad type music. www.mbus.com /bands/genadm/Dead.Alive.htm   (120 words)

Dead or Alive: Evolution: The Hits - PopMatters Music Review Lest purists be concerned, Nude (the group's last album for Epic) is well represented here, as are Nukleopatra and Fragile; the latter is probably the greatest boon for fans of the band, as this is the first time its material has been released somewhere besides Japan. "Dead or alive?" is the least of the questions you'll be asking when you look at the photos of Pete Burns in the CD booklet. In addition to their appearance on this hits collection, they can also be found on the band's debut album, Sophisticated Boom Boom; it's been suggested that Dear or Alive may have been the world's first synth-goth band, a theory not exactly dispelled by this material. www.popmatters.com /music/reviews/d/deadoralive-evolution.shtml   (758 words)

Bon Jovi rocks AWA Another highlight came during the band's mega-hit 'Dead or Alive.' As Sambora and Bon Jovi traded riffs on their acoustic guitars, the crowd readied for just the right moment to begin singing the song. While the band gained it's popularity during the big hair band days of the late '80s and early '90s, there is no way that they can be written off as a nostalgia act. The New Jersey band wasted no time before playing some of their biggest hits, 'You Give Love A Bad Name,' 'Living On A Prayer' and 'Runaway' were heard within the first half hour of the set. www.azcentral.com /ent/music/articles/0408bonjovireview-CR.html   (561 words)

CD Baby: JOSEFUS: Dead Man aLive Their Dead Man LP has been reissued by several U.S. and European labels, and the original is listed in Hans Pokora's "1001 Record Collector Dreams" as a "very rare" item. This is a band that was very underrated and never got the chance to show how really great they were to a larger audience. An hour of never-released recordings from the legendary Texas band, including a live performance of their heavy psych title track. www.cdbaby.com /josefus   (306 words)

Salon.com Arts & Entertainment The Grateful Dead, alive again What's unfortunate, though, is that the huge network of "jam bands" that have sprouted in the Dead's wake seem to be modeling themselves on the later, lesser version of the original, happy and peppy and noodling their troubles away. Throughout "Birth of the Dead" is the growling R&B of Pigpen ("Pain in My Heart," "I'm A King Bee," "Big Boss Man," etc.), a defining aspect of the band's early sound, as well as traditional songs whose bleakness becomes a sort of exorcism. "Live Dead," the first of what would be the Dead's virtually innumerable catalog of concert recordings, shows the band riding that peak in stretches of fearless and deeply musical improvisation. archive.salon.com /ent/music/review/2001/10/17/grateful_dead/print.html   (1337 words)

Roger Catlin TV Eye: Cowsills, Dead and Alive But when the band imploded somewhat acrimoniously in 1970, so did the personal relationships of the family band members. The tragic end of Cowsill, 51, was just another tragedy in a family band known by most to have brought sunny sounds to the radio in the 60s with songs like "The Rain, The Park and Other Things," "Indian Lake" and "Hair." The young pub crowd paid attention a bit, requested Neil Diamond, and largely didn't know a thing about his career as a child star in his family band. blogs.courant.com /roger_catlin_tv_eye/2006/01/cowsills_dead_a.html   (699 words)

USATODAY.com - Wanted: The Dead alive Forty years old this month, the Dead has been on a journey with more stops than Odysseus, from jug band to Summer of Love icon to benign cult capable of summoning a city of Deadheads with the faintest of gig rumors. The band members are quick to credit their respective solo ventures with reviving the group vibe. Herring, 41, a soft-spoken Georgian, has the unenviable task of covering for frontman Jerry Garcia, a titanic figure in the band's history whose death in 1995 abruptly ended the group's existence. www.usatoday.com /life/music/news/2003-06-12-dead-main_x.htm   (1087 words)

Rolling Stone : Trail of Dead Come Alive The band -- guitarist Kevin Allen, bassist-guitarist Neil Busch, and singer-guitarist-drummers Keely and Reece -- is fueled by a desire for change in the world and the frustrating notion that the tectonic plates of human nature don't move so easily. The band formed in Austin in 1994, though it's hard to ascertain much else about its early years, because the members like to invent their own myths as they go along. Take your pick: It could be a reference to a trail of blood left by a stranger who cracked his head open in front of the band's house, or it could be lifted from a Texas ghost story involving a busload of ill-fated schoolchildren and an oncoming train. www.rollingstone.com /news/story/5934204/trail_of_dead_come_alive   (551 words)

JS Online: Dead keeps music alive and fans grateful While the band members span from their 40s to their 60s, the crowd included everyone from teenagers accompanied by their parents to those who have been fans of the band since it debuted in San Francisco in the mid-'60s. The Dead followed with "The Music Never Stopped" and "The Wheel," which nicely complemented the breezy languor of the fine summer evening and seemed to please both the junior and senior elements of the Alpine crowd. The king of the Dead may be gone, but his subjects remain grateful that the legacy jams on. www.jsonline.com /onwisconsin/music/jul04/246422.asp   (413 words)

Dead or Alive 12" Collection Petition That Dead or Alive fans have been willing to make what amount to financial sacrifices to obtain these remixes, in whatever form, demonstrates that there is, therefore, a considerable market -- amongst fans, collectors and, yes, the simply nostalgic -- for a legitimate, band-approved collection of the *original* Dead or Alive 12" remixes. We are writing you regarding the Dead or Alive 12" Collection that was to have been released by Sony Japan recently. The Dead or Alive 12" Collection Petition to Sony Japan was created by Members of The Right Stuff Forum and written by Gregory Deglas (UnderTaker) (octavadies@yahoo.com). www.petitiononline.com /twelve/petition.html   (238 words)

SFist: Concert Review: The Dead Are Alive? I expected a typical cowboy jam band, a la the Dead or Bob Dylan, and certainly I could not differentiate between some of the songs, but I could feel fissures cracking open in my mind as the music became at times funky and jazzy. I learn they’ve been Dead Heads since they were teens and love it for the dancing and community. During the second show the band played a 60’s-pop-sounding version of "Imagine," with Chris Robinson on vocals. www.sfist.com /archives/2004/12/27/concert_review_the_dead_are_alive-print.php   (851 words)

Dead Or Alive-Evolution: The Videos (2003) The band he headed was Dead Or Alive and at least for one album they were one of the top bands around. I was a huge fan of the band's Youthquake album but most of their other stuff was nowhere near the same quality, and since that album only had nine tracks (with four classics), obviously the DVD was going to have some of that other stuff. Most of it serves to remind you that the band was really only remembered for the one album - their second, the staggeringly listenable Youthquake. www.michaeldvd.com.au /Reviews/Reviews.asp?ReviewID=4637&SID=2&PID=224386   (1964 words)

CD Baby: DEAD OR ALIVE: Rocket: A Tribute to Dead or Alive Dead or Alive burst forth, from the ashes of Nightmares in Wax, into the UK pop charts with a raunchy version of K.C. & The Sunshine Band's That's The Way (I Like It). One of our objectives with this release was to shift the focus away from their biggest hit "You Spin Me Round" (track 13) and to concentrate on the band as songwriters, by showcasing their other pop gems first. Coordinating and compiling 'Rocket' was indeed a labour of love for us, and it was particularly satisfying to decide what bands to approach and on what songs to give them. www.cdbaby.com /cd/deadoralive   (588 words)

Extras make 'Grateful Dead Movie' come alive on DVD Together they preserved not only the band's performance through its groundbreaking "wall of sound," but what it was really like to attend a Dead show when the act was in its ramshackle prime. In the case of "The Grateful Dead Movie," it's by restoring the negative and improving the sound for its DVD release, and adding a second disc of with 95 minutes of concert footage that didn't make the cut for the film's 1977 release. Additionally, a 1974 TV commercial for the Dead's "Mars Hotel" album is included, as is a gallery of photos, film stills and other items related to the project. www.suntimes.com /output/movies/wkp-news-grateful05.html   (352 words)

Perfect Utensil - Home of the band "Spork" : Wanted: Bassist, Dead or Alive The band said it would be difficult to press on without Newman, one of the founders of the group, but they have signed a lamp to sit in on any gigs they book during his absence. The remaining and/or surviving band members said it wasn't unlike Newman to be out of communication for months at a time, but with the final chapter in the Lord of the Rings saga less than 4 months away, it was strange that he should stay away so long. Popular Sporker Mark Newman has finally been proclaimed "missing" after fellow band members issued a statement today asking anyone who has seen the bassist to call the band's "Find Newman" hotline. www.perfectutensil.com /news/index.cfm?newsid=54   (275 words)
