Re: Mark Lanegan
No matter how much Lanegan hates whatever he did with the Trees, those guys did a lot music....i mean they got signed with a mayor with already 4 albums or so?
Its funny how much he hates Lee.

Re: Mark Lanegan
Man, this books is so good. Lanegan really was super difficult, a bully, a drug addict junkie and fucking seller too! its hilarious.

Re: Mark Lanegan
The memoir was really good (and for a brief window the Trees made some ridiculously great music, though most of their collective output isn't worth going back to), but it does start to get a little samey. I wish it went into his later years.

Re: Mark Lanegan
im sure he will eventually write another one with the latter half of his career. And yes, im a big fan of the Trees but i also get what Lanegan says about the first albums too.
I find it kinda funny they were so fucking disfunctional.

Well, seeing as he almost died (again) and decided to pick up the pen for another round I'm also hopeful he attempts another volume but I don't seeing it coming for quite some time, assuming he stays alive anyway.VinylGuy wrote:im sure he will eventually write another one with the latter half of his career.

Re: Mark Lanegan
Its a short read, I read this in about 90 minutes, and man he comes off like a self righteous asshole. I figured since his memoir was all set in the past, that this behavior was more a thing of the past but it’s almost unbearable to read how fucking hard headed he still is. I wish he would focus on new music more than all these books he’s been putting out.oasisfan35 wrote:Well, seeing as he almost died (again) and decided to pick up the pen for another round I'm also hopeful he attempts another volume but I don't seeing it coming for quite some time, assuming he stays alive anyway.VinylGuy wrote:im sure he will eventually write another one with the latter half of his career.

Re: Mark Lanegan
I feel that may be the most telling notion of the memoir efforts in that his true nature is on full display, I'm not expecting any grand catharsis; it's a character study. I have not sought out Plague Poems or Leaving California.kreng wrote:Its a short read, I read this in about 90 minutes, and man he comes off like a self righteous asshole.

Re: Mark Lanegan
he is extremely difficult and in the past a junkie and also a dealer.
While it seems he is a better place, its still Lanegan. I remember Isobell Campbell talking about how difficult it was for her make music after a while.

She was pretty candid with it all (at the end) and it really comes as no surprise but I really enjoyed their work together.VinylGuy wrote:he is extremely difficult and in the past a junkie and also a dealer.

The collab album with Joe Cardamone wasn't really anything to write home about in my opinion. Lanegan is in fine voice, though I do suspect a fair amount of digital massaging going on but the music itself is wholly uninteresting.

Some of the other collabs that he's lent vocals to recently sound quite interesting so I am looking forward to those.
