Really? The go go's drummers birthday? Slow news day?

FirstNationalBastard: Gina Schock, hard hitting drummer for The Go-Go's, born this day in 1957. Watch her stick work in "We Got The Beat" (bonus: with the hot, young Belinda Carlisle Jane Wiedlin)

FTFY.

Thank you for that correction. One could add "multi-talented" but you hit the important points.

Madbassist1: The go-go's are more talented than your band, I am sure, and WAY more successful.

but I bet his all-girl bands are vinyl only and play shows of 34 or less not counting their parents. the True Kvlt of girl bands.

"(bonus: with the hot, young Belinda Carlisle)"

I think you meant to write: "(bonus: with the hot, young, constantly singing flat and sounding like sh*t Belinda Carlisle)"

Dear gawd, woman, did they not turn on the monitors in the '80s?

wee: FirstNationalBastard: Jane Wiedlin

Yes.

INDEED.

MeinRS6: I like Carlisle's voice, but the band is a joke.

While obvious, this has so far been a Successful Troll.
8/10

Will someone please take away the "Geezers of Rock Birthday Calendar"?

Marla Singer's Laundry: They're horrible.

That's pretty much the point of a punk band. You get ripped, you get on stage, you do your thing.

The Bangles are better.

Belinda Carlisle is fun to look at, but she sings so out of tune on this clip that it is unwatchable.

Marla Singer's Laundry: mekkab: Marla Singer's Laundry: They're horrible.

Punk band? HAhahahahahahaha.

Christ almighty.

As difficult as it is to wrap the brain around in 2010 (and it is), the fact remains that the group's origins resided within the L.A. punk scene of the late 1970s. Some of their very first live gigs (pre-record deal) saw them opening for X (I crap you negative).

Never liked them much musically but there you are.

In other news:

Jane Wiedlin is coming out with a new album. She is covering Devo's "Whip It".

When I listen to X all I think of is the Go-Go's.
I wonder when's DJ Bonebreaks birthday is?

As I stated in an earlier thread: I'd still masterbate for their amusement.

The same can be said of a lot of 80s pop acts, though. They had punk origins until a label exec came along, prettied them up and helped them crank out some sellout pop music with slight punk undertones, classified as "new wave."

Opinions are opinions, but she was always my favorite Go-Go.

/always had a thing for female drummers

The bassist, while not the cutest of the bunch, looks like she would be the most fun one to hang out with.

You sound "old wave"

Your ignorance of music history is showing. Put it away. And get your ears checked.

She obviously pounded those drums, but when I saw them in 1984 there was a second band behind a curtain playing the actual instruments.
That said, I like those Go-Go's. They have a lot of pep.

Nothing? Jesus guys...



For you Wiedlin lovers

Is that a scan of a wrinkled page or does her left tit have ripples?

dictyboy: NateAsbestos: ...August 2001 Playboy, if anybody cares. I was 15... and in love.

It's a scan, and they're all hotlinked from GIS results.

My favorite picture from that spread was of her in a hot tub looking up at the camera, but I couldn't find any scans of that in Google.

It was all about Kathy Valentine for me. I always fall for the bass player.

I would have watched the video but decided to bag on the Car Fax commercial. This enforced advertisement before EVERY video, no matter the subject, is getting old.

See, Farkers, there is a reason that I have Marla Singer's Reeking Taint on Ignore.

That said, I would have loved to have been in a cocaine and alcohol-fueled naked pile with the Go-Go's back in the 80's, with Jane and Belinda's asses alternating on my face.

I saw them play at some party in the Hollywood Hills in 79 or 80. They were brought there by Rodney Bingenheimer. I thought to myself. "Huh. who are these chicks?" They were pretty good. Then when their record came out I was surprised as to how sweetened and toned down it was.

When I saw them at that party, they were raw and rocked. Rodney used to play a demo of We Got the Beat on his radio show and it was much more raw than the released version. Still they were a fun power pop band.

There was another semi-girl band around at the same time called The Heaters. I remember liking them. They "bounced." Unfortunately their record didn't capture the energy they had on stage.

I haven't thought about it in a long time, but that late 70s early 80s music scene in L.A. was pretty good.

Saw them live in......'82 or '83 or so.......... with A Flock Of Seagulls. Was down on the floor....... Gina really DID pound those skins, song after song. Her energy was like Max Weinberg's son's, touring with Bruce last year. Not bad.

Marla Singer's Laundry: Either that or some record-company prick got a 6-way with an entire band some time around 1980.

That's possible. According to rampant rumors, and some admissions by band members, they were pretty wild.
