563.0. "CJSS" by PFLOYD::ROTHBERG (Get the priest as well...) Tue Jun 20 1989 15:19

                
                CJSS is  another  RacerX type band.  They consist
                of
                
                David T. Chastain on guitar
                Russell Jinkens on lead and backing vocals
                Mike Skimmerhorn on bass, backing and lead vocals
                Les Sharp on Drums
                
                Note where the  name  CJSS  comes from now.  They
                have  a few albums,  I  believe  3  on  Leviathan
                Records and Chastain also has  a  couple  of solo
                albums.  If you like RacerX, you'll probably like
                these guys.

563.1Like Racer X, huh?COORS::G_HOUSENo, you're not there...Tue Jun 20 1989 17:3212
    Ah, I've heard a little about Chastain.  He's supposed to have done
    studio work on quite a few other peoples stuff.
    
    I saw part of an interview with him somewhere and he seemed sort of
    odd.  Kind of a quirky personality, I guess.  He claimed that he had
    thousands of songs he'd written just laying around and that he wrote a
    song every time he picked up his guitar.  Seemed like kind of an
    arrogant statement.  
    
    How *is* he as a songwriter?

                I haven't  heard his solo stuff, it's supposed to
                be a lot  better  than  CJSS, but again, the CJSS
                songs are similar to  RacerX,  but  not even that
                good.  Kind of crunchy  sounding.    It  might be
                worth picking up one tape as they all pretty much
                sound the same.  I recommend Praise the Loud.

    	I really like the CJSS albums I also like the CHASTAIN albums
    	 his guitar work is different on the two different bands ( if
    	you understood that).
    
    	Praise the Loud is a kickin album....
    
    	Anyone hear his instrumental work???
