if you threw in, say,
stone temple pilots,
then you could add a whole new "connection" to another branch:
stone temple pilots
velvet revolver
guns 'n' roses
aerosmith
and if you make "technical" connexions (due to band members other projects),
you could add
praxis
buckethead
death cube K
primus
sausage
colonel claypool's bucket of bernie brains
parliament funkadelic
Colonel Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade
Oysterhead
Bill Laswell . . .

(if you're wondering how I connected that last list starting w/praxis, look no further than the ever-delayed continuation of the 'guns n roses' legacy, featuring none other than Buckethead on guitar)

man, here's a tangled web of grungy family tree rock: neil young & crazy horse hater wellwater conspiracy meat puppets screaming trees green river mother love bone pearl jam the melvins mudhoney dinosaur jr soundgarden alice in chains mad season I know there's more. . . . but I love how all these bands are closely inter-related off the same branch from the rock family tree. Wha??? NO Atomic Bitchwax??!?!?!? (Monster Magnet g: Ed Mundell + Godspeed's Chris Kosnik) What strikes me is taking 2/3 Soundgarden + 1/3 Monster Magnet and coming out with something that is a great Left Turn musically that sounds like it hardly owes anything to either of those bands (esp. Soundgarden) but instead could fit on the flip side of "Arnold Laine"..... |

I actually thought about suggesting that for the mix CD swap theme. You know, like a "musician tag," where each song must share at least one musician with the one preceding it. I just wasn't sure if the scene you have over there were as incestuous enough as ours to make that viable, but I guess I was wrong! |

oh, it's plenty incestuous enough. . . I'd wager that, ultimately, you could string every band on the continent together, if you threaded it thoughtfully enough.

Both of Mars Accelerator's albums were grossly underlooked. Horribly mistreated.

Okay --- I'm going to get slagged for this I'm sure, but:  THE BABYS ~ Broken HeartI'm going to suppose that the youngin's here are unfamiliar with the band's outings but maybe are familiar that singer/bassist John Waite went on to give us some AOR singles ("Missing You") and fronted the 80's one-shot stab 'em band Bad English, but this earlier outfit The Babys from the golden wanning days of the 70's were IMO one of those 'shoulda been' sorts of bands. This second release of theirs had proto-types of the decade all over it with power-punches like "And If You Can See Me Fly" & "Give Me Your Love" to orchestra drama pieces in "A Piece Of The Action" & "I'm Falling" --- this 1977 album caught them in a near Queen-wannabe moment but with the group keeping their own identity. They scored a BIG hit at the time off Broken Heart with "Isn't It Time" but really the album is soooo much more than the ballad leads onto. Like Queen's Brian May or Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen, the guitar power is often applied as working muscle and flexed more for effectiveness than showboating -- but then check the riffage in "...See Me Fly" or "Rescue Me" and you'll know the guys liked to rock out more than a bit that was on par with anything Bad Company was doing during the day. To me the band's ruin was losing keyboardist/guitarist Mike Corby after this album to future Journey sap Jonathan Cain and the future craving's of Top 40 Heaven. Broken Heart showed a young band with aspirations towards multi-faceted tunes balancing both taste and balls. |

Duff McKagan was in a band called 10 Minute Warning w/ Greg Gilmore, who was an original member of Mother Love Bone. info: www.lukin.com/Information/familytree.html |

Has anyone mentioned the Silos yet?
They had two really fien albums in the late 80s, Cuba and The Silos...
I have both on vinyl, but not on digital--so I cant send any YSI's, but I really cant recommend these two albums enough. If you find a copy of either, trust me, go ahead and snatch it up...

I got Cuba on remastered CD a while back. They're usually pretty easy to find around here, as the two main guys came out of this area back in the day.
