Nickelback? Well, let's not go there....
Jaimie, I was just curious on a your opinion about a band you have
connections with - Harem Scarem*/Rubber/Harem Scarem
I hated Harem Scarem* (the original Harem Scarem circa 88-99 or
whatever, unbelievably bland hair-metal/AOR crap)
But, I loved their reincarnation as Rubber (circa 2000 - 2002 dates
are approximate)
Yes, I knew Rubber was really Harem Scarem, even though they didn't
seem anyone to know that, but I liked the music.
But, they still had some identity crisis, why did they call
themselves Rubber in Canada, but Harem Scarem in Japan, etc?
What is the point of that? Who does that?
Anyways, then they released "Weight of the World" Woof! What the hell
was that? It was horrible. Apparently now they are calling themselves
Harem Scarem everywhere now.
Was Spinal Tap based on Harem Scarem? The whole thing really seems
like a joke - I noticed Harry Hess (ld. vocals) released a solo album
in Europe - was it jazz fusion? Is Pete Lesperance going to get
caught at airport security with a foil wrapped cucumber in his pants?
Don't get me wrong, I care about the music, and I will always cherish
Rubber's first two albums, even if they were desperate attempts for a
new audience, but at least the Darkness are joking.I hope Harem
Scarem are joking too...
