Maury, please forgive us
Maury, you were the first fan to ever write us a letter. Frank Riley's girl friday with the sandias grandes delivered it to us at the 9:30 club in Georgetown. This must have been, what? 1984? We were a bit shaky, cause we had just seen our first Norwegian rat out in the alley... fucker was big! Anyhow, you wrote a very nice letter about how much our songs meant to you and how we represented a changing of the guard... or was it underwear? You included a self addressed stamped envelope for us to reply which was very thoughtful. I believe we tore off a piece of the pizza carton and wrote a reply using the black perma-marker reserved for the nightly set list. We can only imagine how your delight turned to disgust as you opened that envelope and read our own heartfelt response: BLOW ME MAURY!!!!

Oh yes, I remember it well. We ought to be ashamed of ourselves...
Not that it matters, but the way I remember it was that his name was Maurice. Hence the "blow me Maury". Poor Maury. He probably gave away his stamp collection, burned his Slash records and became a monk.
I remember asking Dan for his autograph at the eadmill in Sheffield, UK and his reply was "Can't a man have a F*ckin'" drink in peace? The stuff of legend. I also heckled at a Manchester University gig with the line "Dan - you've lost some weight". HIs reply - "Yeah, Cancer"...dry as a bone, but twice as sharp. See you at the Astoria - I'm bunking off work for this, on the quiet....
Maurice Jr. was the son of the "gangster of love" that Mr. Miller sang of. We were warned of many things that tour, pizza as a meal for instance. The road manager was skimming 5%, his S&M provider girlfriend had overdosed and he hated any TV show or film that had hospital scenes. His voice was like broken glass filtered through a bloody tampax. His name was "Dream" and he was anything but.
remembering GOR:
frankfurt, germany, spring 1985 >
chris falling right over his keyboard several times during encores (down by the river ... knockin on heaven's door ...)
nuremberg, germany, fall 1985 >
a drunken bunch of weirdos from LA playing to a drunken crowd of southern germans ...
frankfurt, germany, summer 1988 >
this crazy drummer from quicksilver sitting in the tour bus - was he scarving or what?? :eek:
after the show, dan drank lots, I mean LOTS! of tequila (we had to pay for it) and chuck tried to be friendly to fans and bartenders ...
london, summer 1988 >
town & country, with nikki sudden ... can't remember, too drunk ...
london, april 1989 >
town & country again, rene coman with the boys - didn't dan call it a 'salamander stick' or something like that?
london, 3 november 1992 >
mean fiddler, with the coalporters. was this really GOR's last gig? clinton president elected this night ...
Now boys leave the violence for the fetish wrestlers.
Yes, any original ticket from the 87 cancellation will be honored.
oooh, it starts cooking here! :-D
only 5 more days ...
No one from Ireland or the U.K. can really be called "Hoss"... it's like someone from South Dakota being named "Nigel".
Dan here. We had a blast and recognized many of your faces. Although your names might be forgotten we all have fond recollections of various misdeeds and adventures that we have shared. I never minded a little post gig drunken spittle coming my way from someone who spent time and money to see us play. Best of luck to all of you.
back in germany now after spending three more days in london pubs.
the gig was a blast - I'll never forget it for the rest of my life! hey guys, even my wife will love you from now on ;-)
hope to see you all soon - in a club not too far away! you gotta keep that spirit rollin' ...
@ paul h.

from steve wynn's tour diary, nov 04, 2005:
"But here's a scoop, my friends. Dan Stuart and I have been writing songs together and are planning on doing a new Danny & Dusty record next year. You heard it here first. Gossip? Scandal? Hey, I'm not telling. Or revealing my sources."

p.
Google Styler Baldwin all you peepers...
got it
There's a man in New Orleans with a haircut.
There's a man in New Orleans with a voice.
So few singers can vocalize like Frank Sinatra or Tony Bennett, but New Orleans' Glyn Styler can really croon! Call it "sleazy listening" but if Styler left his heart in San Francisco, there'd be a trail of blood leading away from the scene.
Inhabiting a bleak territory somewhere between nihilistic lounge and emotive, elemental punk, Glyn Styler stands alone - he trips the dark fantastic!
As smooth as he is twisted, his powerful voice instructs and forebodes. Play this for your parents, I dare you...
G.S.:Rene Coman and I were hired to tour with an 80's band called GREEN ON RED.......
Glyn Styler: Live At The Mermaid Lounge (1997)
Glyn Styler/Lydia Lunch: The Desperate Ones
(a Jacques Brel cover) EP 1998
love ya, p.
Glad Styler didn't drown, wonder if he finally got a Playtex Glove sponsership. He did replace a guy from up north who had a boil burst on him... Nigel wasn't it Brent?
yeah paul....thoght it sounds familiar
i just took a picture of a Shotgun Wedding today
(twins, both kickin`as Hell!)
((Mini Cooper for Sale))
Frau Lunch
Shotgun Wedding 1991
Art Direction: Brent Newman
Piano: Brent Newman
Drums: Brent Newman
a.k.a.: guess who
.....and of course the Drummer of GOR
at the Town and Country Club
was confusin, but finally...
that dazzling Name
took an ear of Why? on tunes
tomorrow i`ll get it!
thanks mate
of course you`re not Brent Newman
i`m not Brent Newman either
cynical and hypocrite? thank god we got people like you, smedley! *rolleyes*
Regarding the fellow who spit in my drink, it was probably the healthiest libation I had that tour, although your girlfriend was the nastiest thing I ate that year. Burp.
Yeah, I'm kinda like FEMA that way.
wasn`t it the "Hold Me Beer While I Eat Your Girlfriend Tour"?
does anybody have a decent recording of the january show in london?
Listen Brent (Styler), glad you're alive, sorry you are so resentful about what should have been a minor diversion in your life. Chuck and I have fond memories of that tour, playtex gloves and all. As far as your homocentric observations regarding GOR shows, please extrapolate your theory to Millwall fans and oyster fiends alike. The truth is that guys like you are forever pissed that the rest of the world is indifferent to your pain. Triage being what is, that ain't likely to change anytime soon.
Funny, we were laughing about that the other day, had no idea a movie was coming out, think I stole the shirt from a clothesline. I never hated Chinaski, just people who romanticized the ordinary... you know, like video store clerks. Now back to the bile, worst trick you ever had?
Or even mattress salesmen...

Rolf Harris.... you mean something like that?

I've lost my mummy, ah-ah-ah-ah, I've lost my mummy.
I've lost my mummy, ah-ah-ah-ah, I've lost my mummy.
I've found my mummy, ah-ah-ah-ah, I've found my mummy.
I've found my mummy, ah-ah-ah-ah, I've found my mummy.
well, Rolf is the King
guess it`s unknown.
Johnny Cash Feat. Joe Strummer
Redemption Songs
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
’cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? ooh!
Some say it’s just a part of it:
We’ve got to fulfil de book.
So, Won’t you help to sing
Won’t you help to sing
These songs of freedom? -
’cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.
carsharing to Irak?
Styler Brent fucking Newman-Baldwin?

Where are the ugly Lies, the beautyful Truths and vicious Gossip????

Suckers!

Styler,

how dare You!
We need the Eggs!
(Easter Monday)
well, to be honest, I'm just waiting for the tour dates ...
Que sera sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera sera
What will be, will be
You and me both...
certain gesture
holy fucking moly.
won`t you play in zurich at "me bedroom" ?
(sorry, but we only can pay 29`000 Euros)
o.k.
i double it!
She's a lover baby an a fighter
Shoulda seen it comin' when
It got a little brigther
A little loaded she was
Stealin' another breath
I love my baby to death
Looking down the barrel of a
Hot metal 45
Just another way to survive
Lookin' through your photograph
Talkin' on the telephone
I'm thinking through my plans
For me and you
So all alone

KUNG FOO COWBOY p.
~well, i`m a busy man
($! – dollares!), ...and i like what i`m doin`)
but i find the time, mostly when i`m drunk,
to write in that losers pickle barrel.
So, i do not like to be the only loser
who attend this fucked up goddamned forum.
it`s sad enough, to write someting here.
but it`s even tearier when i`m the only one.
I`m sure there are some less engaged suckers
who d`rather try to stick their Cocks in their Arses
as to response
So, now i am calling YOUone PONCE!!!!!
perfumed PONCE
( My Name Is Mc Fuck! )
c'mon, guys. no gig in germany this summer? I can't go to greece in july ...
you`re right, Miss Baldwin!
but i TAKE two reds and three pinks!
imagine me text, when i`m not takin` them!
so, go home
and fuck your mothe !
(ups! i forgot the slightly blue one!)
sorry Mitchjam, you cant scream "ze drifter"
this time in Deutschland!
a very warm welcome to the first lady!!
isn`t that old swiss magic?
Well, here come the snakes!
Christ, you guys are scaring off the middlebrow with all this Anglo babylon minutae. This ain't a Smith's site.
Seems like a reasonable request... too bad we can't post active links like to that Sleaze site of Stylers... sure would keep the chatter down. Here's something, am I paranoid to think that a one time suicidal cappucino groupie just might nail me with a cross bow at Koko? Not that I don't deserve it...
Even Gonzo was sub-Gonzo... don't flatter me. Now is it watered down Tony Clifton or Nick the Lounge Singer you're after?
minutiae, i agree, Styler Baldwin!
....and by the Way:
We, the fucked up swiss,
are in the eighth Final!
with a shoot out!
Kööbi, Köööbi Nationaaaal!
Senderos!
....the Mexicans are on their way home....
how sad!!
actually it`s called
" The Hold My Beer While I Fuck Your Girlfriend Tour"
from the Band "No Redeeming Social Value"
Inside Knowledge writes:
"On the musical level there are better bands for sure, but on the level of humour, rudeness and the joy in playing live they are hard to match. NYHC gang NRSV have been drunk for 16 years now and a lot of releases already saw the light of day (“Rocks the Party” and “THC” being the most relevant). Time for a DVD these guys must have thought as the visual aspect of the bands is even more hilarious than their songs
Prince Charles might still hold hope for Generation ASBO but we at GOR have become realists in our old age. Of course, the litter problem is offset by the benefits of a transfat diet.
K
Styler, you floated all the way to London on the bloated corpse of a Jackson Square mule? Well done lad.
This from Mr. Google? What did Brian say?... be true to your school.
