926.0. "Kravitz, Lenny" by NEWOA::DALLISON (Can't do much actually.) Tue Feb 09 1993 12:10

    
    I did a dir/title on this guy and was surprised to find there is no
    note for him, so here it is.
    
    He has two albums out to date, "Let love rule' which I haven't heard
    and 'Mama Said' which is very good. Its sort of like the groove of the
    60's and 70's but with the ballzyness of the 90s.
    
    He hs just finished recording a third album (dunno when its released) 
    and I heard the new siongle from it last night and it was very cool but 
    VERY Hendrix-y, even more so than his other stuff and the video is very 
    wacky.
    
    Check it out,

926.1A 1 ana 2 ana what?BOVES::FENNELLCold gin time againTue Feb 09 1993 12:224
Slash did some stuff with Lenny.  Slash "donated" the songs to Lenny
because "the songs were too funky for Steven" (GnRs originall drummer).

926.2Good stuff!GOES11::G_HOUSEIt's NOT a tumor!!Tue Feb 09 1993 12:286
    Yeah, I was gonna mention the work Slash did on several of the songs on
    "Mama Said".  Apparently he and Lenny are good friends.  I really like
    what I've heard of Lenny's stuff.  Saw some concert footage of him on
    that "In Concert" show a few months ago.

    Lenny rooolz!!!!  his first lp sounds a bit Beatlesque, but frmo the
    60s, not the 70s, so it's still way cool.  The 2nd album is more rocked
    out, but it still cool -- can't wait to hear the new one.
    
    Saw a clip of the video, Lenny is playing a Flying V ala Jimi!!
926.5Tone = GibsonGOES11::G_HOUSEIt's NOT a tumor!!Tue Feb 09 1993 14:324
    Yeah, I saw that same clip.  Lenny's definitely a Gibson kinda guy.  He
    normally plays a Les Paul.

    my ex(spit)had a copy of his single Mr Cabdriver and loved it,I thought
    it rambled on.....and on........and on etc!But I heard his new single
    and even though Jimi must be spinning like a bloody top in his grave,I
    have to admit,it's bloody funky and excellant!

    His new song "Are you gonna go my way" is rulin'. I might even buy the
    album.
    
    
926.10Amazing! we agree?BOVES::FENNELLWhat you got buried in your backyard?Fri Mar 12 1993 10:484
Have to agree with you on this one.  Every album Lenny has done has been
better than the previous.  I've added it to my list to get next time.

Tim
926.11SUBURB::COOKSI`m so bored with the U.S.AFri Mar 12 1993 12:285
    Why doncha just listen to a Jimi Hendrix album instead?
    
    I personally don`t think it`s very healthy living in the past meself.
    Er,so there you go.

926.13Kravitz, Lenny part IIJGO::NIEMANTSWed Mar 09 1994 13:2316
    HI,
     I Looked if there was a file about Lenny Kravitz, my favourite. I
    found a file (926) but theconversation stopped on 12 March 1993. 
    
    Is it possible to begin again with a file about Lenny?
    
    I have seen him five times in concert in Holland and Belgium and all
    the concerts were great. Last year at the Torhout/Werchter festival his
    guitar didn't work and he improvised on the drums and that was great.
    
    I heard he is going on tour trough the USA with the Lemonheads. 
    Does somebody know when he is going to Europe and when he releases a
    new album?

    	I saw an announcement that Lenny will be in Boston tomorrow
    	night, 9-FEB, at the Orpheum Theater.
    
    	Yes?
926.15THEMAX::EPPERSONpuff, puff, passSat Jun 22 1996 16:2110
    Seen Lenny last night on Howard Stern. It was pretty cool. The only
    thing they talked about was all the women Lenny has laid. Anybody 
    heard anything about a new album? I read in Rolling Stone about  
    six months ago that he had a jazz album due out this year. That was
    in Lenny`s words, so I don`t know what happened. He also said that he
    had written a screenplay about a rock star rising to the top(starring
    himself of course), but his record company would`nt finance it.
    That would be too cool.

926.16SCASS1::BARBER_Aout of my waySat Jun 22 1996 17:304
    Just got his latest, "Circus".  Pretty good stuff.  I was amazed at the
    Christian slant he's taken on this one.  
    
    Cool.
926.17THEMAX::EPPERSONpuff, puff, passSun Jun 23 1996 14:024
    Me too.(the christian thing) I think its kinda cool though. I`ve
    always been big into Lenny.
    
    
926.18KDX200::CJSun Jun 23 1996 15:403
    Define "Christian Thing.."  :-)
    
    
926.19THEMAX::EPPERSONpuff, puff, passSun Jun 23 1996 16:342
    Never heard Lenny?  He writes about Jesus and God alot like he`s a 
    christian. Yet he smokes weed and so on. He`s a "natural guy".
926.20POLAR::LYLEson of a silly personMon Jun 24 1996 01:5610
    
    Heard somewhere that he kept on the 'Christian Thing' on behalf of his
    mother. Who was Roxy Roker (sp). She played on The Jefferson's as the
    Jefferson's neighbors. (she was black and he was white... those guys.)
    Anywho, she wanted Lenny to stay on the side of Jesus or something like
    that.
    Good music tho.
