Im sorry I never got a chance to get into them while they were together. This always happens to me anyway, I only get into stuff long after its over.
I was late to the party too. I only got to see their farewell shows live on Myspace. Thankfully they have a pretty substantial catalog along with three tons of footage on Youtube.
Like I mentioned earlier, if you get the chance to see Imperial State Electric, do it.
@nakedarab (quoted but code was whacky in quoting) Is he back with Entombed? To Ride... is one of the most criminally overlooked metal albums EVER. That album defines the genre of death n' roll to me. The production is way too raw for my tastes; but it fits the style to a T.
FYI - Original Hellacopters' guitarist Dregen has a new self-titled solo disc out and it's pretty decent, IMO. Nick Andersson co-wrote three tunes and plays on it. [video]http://youtu.be/wGp-BZd3or4[/video]
Of course, if they were just reading names and numbers out of the phone book, it would still rock.
Awesome cover...I had never heard it before. I´ve always liked Nationalteatern(the original band) and those lyrics are really good(If you happen to know swedish ofcourse ).
