We are but men! Rock !!!!

Advantages: Great band, great vocals and music.
Disadvantages: Some weak links

...Kyle Gass who make up Tenacious D, you shouldn't give a crap about much, especially bad language etc. If you are this person, like me then this CD is for you. I have no edited the lyrics so there will be some swear words there. Just a warning. The Album A brilliant album, which isn't for everyone, this is why: Track 1- Keilbasa Even the first lines of the song show you that they don't care, it's showing them coming up with a song, ...
...this song got me into Tenacious D, such a brilliant song. Jack starts off just talking, with Kyle playing a great riff, there's some singing but it's mainly a spoken song. This song was their first UK release and this is what got them their success, and rightly so. The lyrics are amazing, and the fact that they managed to get the likes of Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters (and Nivarna), shows their success. This song is just tongue in cheek throughout ...

Review of Tenacious D [PA] - Tenacious D

it,s nutty walt on again

Advantages: includes all best known newhart sketches
Disadvantages: some items not so strong

This C D contains some great material,Newhart was and still is a one off,no one does these kinds of monologue's these days and even back then,most of these sketches come from the early sixty's,only Victor Borge comes to mind.Newharts idea's come from real life,in many ways he was an early leader in what became known as,"observational comerdy"although he is not as P.C. as most comedian's today,as in picking on women drivers in the Driving Instructors ...
...are based on historic event's,such as Abe Lincoln vs Madison Avenue,Introduing Tobacco To Civilization and Merchandising The Wright Brothers.All are bacisially Bob Newhart talking to himself about thing's he finds humour in,that most others would not be able to find anything funny in at all.These subjects include bomb disposal,flying,bus driving,retirement and jumping off buildings. I am not going to list every track as there are 10 on CD1 and 14 ...

Review of Something Like This - Bob Newhart

Phonetic punctuation..!

Advantages: Great comedy, fabulous pianist,
Disadvantages: Recording quality...

Victor Borge is one of the original musical comics from yester year, who remains (unfortunately) quite unknown by the younger population of the country. This CD is a recording from a performance Victor Borge participated in many years ago. Consequently, the quality is not the most fabulous in the world - it is an atmospheric recording. This is not a disadvantage however, in my opinion, as it enables the listener to hear not only Victor and the piano ...
...laughter, which I feel adds significantly to the cd! You can also pick out certain words from the audience, which is significant in a couple of tracks - for example "Variations on a theme", where the audience call out composer names. This cd would suit a few types of people. Those who love "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue" and enjoy the musical rounds such as Just a Minum and One Song To The Tune Of Another will appreciate both the type of comedy Victor ...

Review of Phonetically Speaking - And Don't Forget The Piano - Victor Borge

"Bought it on Ebay"

Advantages: It makes you laugh
Disadvantages: Erm... it makes you laugh

...cure for SLOM. Weird Al. Poodle Hat, which incidentally is one of his latest CD's, promises the buyer both laughter, mirth and satisfaction. It completes this far too well. For those of you who don't know of Weird Al, I will fill you in briefly. He is an unbelievabely talented music artist, who is often dubbed "The King Of Parody", as most of his memorable songs are parodies of famous songs that just need the Micky taking out of them. He does however, ...
...all of which are just as hillarious as his parodies. On this CD's his parodies include songs such as "I want it that way" - backstreet boys, and "Lose yourself" - Eminem. Half of the songs are entirely of his own creation, and range from him singing about hardware stores, to parties with lepors. As well as his parodies and own genius creations, you get "The Angry White Boy Polka" - and trust me when I say this. To understand quite what it is, and ...
