Marc Campbell's Post from Dangerous Minds, barely three months later
8.04.2010
This is the fucking piece of shit's brainless, pathological, plagiarism, two months after this post - fully endorsed and published by his equally sleazy Dangerous Minds editor, Richard Metzger.
How can you justify this? Marc Campbell ripped off, stole, plagiarized, posted on your watch, represented this site like Donald Trump, broke every ethical value that barely holds the internet together?
Richard Metzger, you are, if not worse, equal to this. just check out the date.
this is the tenth video from posts that Marc Campbell with Dangerous Minds stole and posted that i've found so far.
there are many more.
There are no words. Thanks to the internet these ladies are immortalized forever.
One minute and 15 seconds of musical genius.
Filmed sometime in the 70’s in Switzerland, this video and group are shrouded in mystery. Anybody know who they are?
"Gudbuy T'Jane" was Slade's follow up to their hit single "Mama Weer All Crazee Now".
In his autobiography Who's Crazee Now?, bass player and lead vocalist Noddy Holder explained the inspiration for the song.
Jane was the co-host of a TV chat show in San Francisco they met on their US tour.
They wrote the song in about half an hour, "one of the easiest songs we ever recorded".
The line "Got a kick from her '40s trip boots" is a reference to her kicking Holder up the backside when the band were having a laugh at her expense.
Jane had bought a pair of platform shoes which she called her '40s trip boots, and somehow managed to lose them.
"She thought they were original '40s shoes and she told us that she had paid a fortune for them," adding, "She was a real loony, a typical San Francisco hippy."
Jim Lee came up with the title.
Holder wanted to call it "Hullo T'Jane," which doesn't have the same ring to it.
They recorded it in two takes, and backed by the typically misspelt "I Won't Let It 'Appen Agen," it was released on Polydor and went on to become a monster hit.
The single was produced by Chas Chandler. There was a second track on the A Side, "Take Me Bak 'Ome."
The sheet music credits "Gudbuy T'Jane":
"Words and Music by Neville Holder and James Lea."
