~~~yeah. AC/DC and KISS. that's what i was getting out of these guys. which was okay, i guess. but i thought i had always heard 'pop/punk' or something along those lines... or 'ramones' or something. so, i was thoroughly confused and slightly disappointed at having expectations... oh, those damned expectations. i was expecting something else.... but the guitarist was ripping it UP!!! yeah.... my bad socialization that comes through just when i thought i was the BEST student of radical feminism kept going 'man, that's a CHICK??? fk yeah!!!' and as far as rooney ---- where did the kids hear of this band (insert beatles scream here!!! from them, not necessarily from me.)??? i mean, have any of y'all heard of them?? curious the big big response they got. and ok go. yeah, bring it on boys. this was my second viewing, and i love them better live then on record. they pull off the harmonies clear and loud..which is important to me... yum yum.... they're so damn hot. vocally, that is. i think i had my eyes closed for most of the show. but kelly did such a great job, i'll leave it at that. jocelyn --- *Bill Holmes* wrote: > > I had not previously heard/seen The Donnas, who, > > touted as Runaways, seemed far more AC/DC and > early > > van halen to me (and to listmember Jocelyn), their > > best songs rising above the sameiness of their > > lyrics/tempo with anthem rocky, shoutable choruses > and > > delicious solos - I gotta say, the ladies do rock > the > > house, with attitude to spare, and with some of > the > > funniest fuck off lyrics around > > Originally I dropped a Ramones tag on them but > they're really closer to KISS > than anyone else.
