MY LOVE AFFAIR WITH VOICE OF THE BEEHIVE BEGAN WITH THEIR VERY FIRST SONG....called.......THE BEAT OF LOVE.  http://youtube.com/watch?v=EJMjpXoHxRI

(words t.bryn/music t.bryn, brad nack)

(temptation rap by m. brooke)


The beat of love is a nasty one.

it's a flame from the devils fire.

'cause nothing is stronger than boys and their eyes

and it's worse when you know he's a liar.

it's just the beat of love.



the beat of love is a nasty one

they promise you heaven they promise you fun then the

next thing you know you are down on the floor

and you think you're in love

oh heaven above

it's just the beat of love.



you take my mind and you cheat it.

you take my body and heat it

then you take my heart and you beat it

and the beat of love goes on.



it's just the beat of love



the beat of love is a nasty one

people bang on the door to get in

then one they're inside they just want to be free

and they bang at the doors with a beat they can't see

it's the beat of love.



it's just the beat of love.



the beat of love is a nasty one

there are all kinds of ways to get banged.

they'll tell you is violence they'll tell you it's sex

they'll tell you that it's all the same.



the beat of love is a nasty one

there all kinds of ways to go down

she slams her hips and then she slams the door

and then wonders why he's not around



love is a life nerve

a mission

a principle

the grand passion

temptation



it's just the beat of love.

The albums are progressively worse since the debut I think.

I WALK THE EARTH is such a chill vibe.   the Beat of Love though is the one that takes me right back.  That song could have been huge if anybody had heard it.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS???   "I do think we touch on a wider range of music than just about anyone out there right now.  I don't think we get enough credit for doing it" - PETER BUCK

NAH! ~~ 2007 inductee class for The Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame

Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
R.E.M.
The Ronettes
Patti Smith
Van Halen

But the real story of R.E.M can only be told be college DJs across America who made them an unstoppable force in the alternative/underground-college scene.  Just Like U2, the smaller crowds could not contain them!   

A Solid Band of the 1980s ~~ An all too rare statement I think.

In 1980 (just hours before a gig) the band still had no name so they had some friends write stuff on the church wall in chalk.  The suggestions that were reportedly kicked around were..
Slut Bank, Cans of Piss and Twisted Kites

Needless to say they went on that night as TWISTED KITES..true story.

the Lynyrd Skynyrd story is this...they named themselves after High School Sportsmaster Leonard Skinner who infamously hated "long-hairs". 

Will always be remembered for SWEET HOME ALABAMA and FREEBIRD
but don't forget about..

VERDICT .........eh.

STING aka Gordon Sumner of The Police (16 Grammys)

Origin of nickname........
Sting has stated that he gained his nickname while with the Phoenix Jazzmen. He once performed wearing a black and yellow sweater with hooped stripes that bandleader Gordon Solomon had noted made him look like a bumblebee; thus Sumner became "Sting."

Mr. Bungle was a side project / Original band for FAITH NO MORE frontman Mike Patton.

Mr. Bungle were known for often tearing through several musical genres within the course of a single song.  Many songs had this unconventional structure and utilized a wide array of instruments and samples. 

An ongoing feud with Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis escalated in the late 1990s, with Kiedis removing Mr. Bungle from a number of large music festivals in Europe and Australasia.

Not actually named after The Bubble Bath but rather the band's name was taken from Lunchroom Manners, a children's educational film which was featured in a Pee Wee Herman HBO special in the early '80s.

Thanks for the biography of Sting, DJ .  I had heard Sting nearly played Fletcher Christian in the movie, The Bounty, which everyone should see if they do not know anything about the history of mutiny on the Bounty because it is the most historically accurate movie of all five made.  However, it is still flawed in that Fletcher did not mutiny because of his Tahitian girlfriend to become wife since he did not even meet Maimiti until after the mutiny.  Anyway, I wonder if the movie would have been any better well received it Sting had starred in it as opposed to Gibson, but that latter did a very good job in my opinion.
