Live wire.
Plug me in, I'm alive tonight out on the streets again. Turn me on, I'm too hot to stop something you'll never forget. Take my fist break down walls, I'm on top tonight. No, no, you better turn me loose, you better set me free. Cause I'm hot, young, running free a little bit better than I use to be.
Cause I'm alive, live Wire. Cause I'm alive, I'm a Live Wire.
Ah the joys of spring cleaning. I can't remember how much furniture I moved, how much water or cleaning suplies I used or how fucked up my hands and nails are right now. The feeling of a clean house is pretty amazing I give you that, but achieving it is pretty damn annoying. Come on, wouldn't be a monday if I didn't complain about something. Cleaning and studying just isn't my cup of tea. When you're too tired to go out and have some fun...well then you know you have a problem. When the hell did I get so old? Hah. I did manage a little ninety minute break in between to get a drink *bless JD and coke* and a quick sketch...

Here's something I haven't bitched about yet. Captain America going all Hydra. Oh my god Marvel have you lost your fucking mind? Cap would rather die then be a Nazi. Here's what I have to say about it. Fuck Nick Spencer. And fuck Stan Lee who let this happen. The man was like my fucking hero and now...I just...there's hardly words. I don't remember last time I was this disappointed in anything. Bucky would probaby get out of that cyro in 0.000000001 seconds just to punch the stupid out of the both of them. How dare they? I am outraged, pissed the fuck off, mad, angry, furious, disappointed...and there's probably more emotions that I can't even pinpoint right now. Fuck them and fuck all of you who support hydra cap. Unfollow me, unfriend me and never talk to me again. Please and thank you.
Now to more exciting topics...
I might end up this post in tears. No joke. First all that Marvel crap and then...I have a really hard time dealing with Crue being done. Yeah yeah life goes on I get it. Only really want them to be happy. But that doesn't mean I can't cry, mope and complain about it now does it?
Here's the deal. I love Too fast for love. Absolutely love it. I think it's one of their best, right next to Dr. Feelgood and completly overlooked. Why? Because it's the first one? I don't know. If I'm not mistaking I think this was first released independently then remixed and released by Elektra in the same year. Pretty sure they were the only heavy metal, glam metal, band on their label at the time. Unfortunally they didn't make it big till later when Shout at the devil was released. Yet Too fast for love kinda remains a fan fav I think. The songs on it are more raw, punk, they have some classic Crue sound but it's less ''polished'' then the rest and I actually love that about it. Listening to this album, the first album, you can really hear how young and hungry and ready to take on the whole damn world the band really is. Like I adore Nikki, he's amazing as a person, as a musician and above all as a songwriter. He has mad skills and I love everything he writes. But I'd be lying if I said that some songs don't sound a bit...mainstream? Or I don't know like he's trying too hard. He really doesn't have to, like I said he's amazing. But see here on Too fast for love the songs are real, alive, genuine, pure fucking danger and they come straight from the heart. Then you've got Mick and Tommy, come on they were just kids yet their playing is amazing. Pure fucking sex the way they play. And Vince. Oh Vince. I always love that voice but there's something about Live Wire that I just...love so much. So so much. It's fun it's fast it's fucking aggressive it's totally awesome and the best song to start a record with. All the rest are amazing or as we'd say it ''it's all killer and no filler''. Heh. Merry go round annoys me a little, it's repetive but you know it's still a good song. And I love that it ends with On with the show. I love it, how it starts kinda slow and builds up to a heavier pace, not to mention the lyrics ''Frankie died just the other night some say it was suicide but we know how the story goes''...
There you go I think I love their first album above all the rest, except Feelgood that is. It's a great album, most edgy, genuine, punkish, rock, glam metal at it's finest. It's a young type of Crue some people don't know or don't remember but it's honestly amazing. It's one of my favorites anyone would enjoy. Guys if you're into 70's glam rock or metal kinda like Kiss but better ha ha or even punk and stuff go get it. You'll love it I promise.
My copy came from Milan Italy. It's so hard getting first press or even new releases here. We've got one store that sells about 90 vinyls on a good day. I have more myself. Lol. Not to mention the ones they sell are either crap or I already own them. So there's that. But yeah, my copy came from Milan, that yellow sticker was driving me half mad. I did some research and aparently ''Charter line'' was a low budget label that's why the record has no inner sleeve as you can see. That is also driving me crazy. Ha ha. But to be honest, the record is in near mint condition, plays amazing with no surface sound so I really can't complain.
I'll either break her face or take down her legs, get my ways at will. Go for the throat never let loose goin' in for the kill. Take my fist break down walls I'm on top tonight.
Come on baby gotta play with me, well I'm your live wire, you better lock your doors I'm on the prowl tonight, well be mine tonight.
