154.0. "London" by KETJE::VLASIU () Thu Jun 07 1990 12:01

    Yesterday I've heard in a music shop a new album from a band named
    London. As I haven't seen a topic opened for them, I open this one.
    London have a good singer and fine playing and deserve attention. To
    classify them, it's power metal, somewhat like Leatherwolf. The songs
    I've listened kicked quite fine.

                Maybe  they're callen  London  in  Belgium  also,
                Tony! :')
                
                (I think you may be referring to what is known as
                the London Quireboys here in the US).

    On the album it was simply written London and nothing more. I don't
    think it's Quire Boys (but who knows ?).

                Over in  England, that's all it says too, here in
                the  US  the  name  was  changed  supposedly  for
                copywrite purposes.  See  the  Quireboys note for
                more info...

    	RE: .4
    
    	Uhh... no.  In actuality, the name the London Quireboys
    	use in England is just Quireboys.  The same thing holds
    	true (according to Tony the Brit!) for Shy England - 
    	they go only by Shy in the U.K.
    
    	So maybe the group "London" is actually a band with no
    	name! (8

    Hey Kim, are you sure its not called '(London) London', so as not
    to be confused with another band or with '(London) Quireboys' 'Shy
    (London)' ??

    There used to be an LA band called London at the beginning of the
    '80s....as I said, Nikki Sixx was in it.
154.8has this been mentioned already?BINKLY::MINARDIRebel without a pauseFri Jun 08 1990 09:104
    London is the (lame) band in the Decline of Western Civ...part II
    that supposedly has been a springboard for some famous rockers.

    In any case they sound good and the album is new. I repeat that on the
    CD was written in big letters LONDON. Now who are they, this is another
    question.

                Sort of like the Alcatrazz of the UK...

    Last replies are correct. London is a band from LA (US) and last
    album's name is "La playa del rock".

154.24CHEFS::DALLISONStick it to ya!Thu Mar 07 1991 08:3311
    
    (cue *pop* as Tony unplugs his earplugs after this guy's shouting).
    
    RE .18 COMET::CARTERJ
    
    Excuse the (petty) observation, but get yer facts straight when you 
    go into overdrive and slag a band off - London is a Capitol City, not 
    a Town.
    
    -Tony (Who sez that not only do we have rock in the UK, we also have
           Geography lessons at school - do you ?)

154.29 I'm right, your wrong!!!!COMET::CARTERJFri Mar 15 1991 10:029
    Okay Tony, I think that maybe you should get your facts straight 
    before you tell me that I am wrong! First of all I am not a "he"
    You were wrong! AND London was originally called LONDON TOWN!!!!
    So, actually I was correct! I was also correct when i said that
    London was the worst band I have ever heard!!!!
     Trust me, Just watch The Decline of Western Civilization!!!!
     Then you will see what I mean!!!!!!!!

        Hmmmm.  .  .saying  this  to  someone  that actually lives in
        England is being very bold, ya' know. 
        
        Also.  .  .the original  impression  that we got was that you
        are a `he' due to the fact that you were using James Frisby's
        account.   Since ELF has no record of  any  CARTER's  out  in
        Colorado Springs, how can we be sure you are  who you say you
        are ?
        
        Most people can judge a band with their own ears.    What you
        like to listen to and what you don't like is all  a matter of
        opinion,  which  I seem to remember quite a few cases of this
        happening in here, in the past.
