    Indeed. I think you received about the right amount of flak. Now go listen to some I Mother Earth and The Tea Party to make it up to Canada lol.

    I'd rather drink Canadian Club & Cola.
    That is my favourite drink of all time, I got one bottle in the fridge waiting for me but I am on a fitness regime so feel guilty drinking it.
    I could bow down to a photo of Terrence & Phillip?

    I love the idea of derailling this Thread, I can't stand F#*@King Trolls. What happened to love and guidance?
    Let's deraill it BIG TIME................ 8-)8-)

    I like to go to parties with my friends and other happy people and dance my head off, drinking Jacks with Coke, a few Tequila slammers in between, and of course a toke on a few Spliffs.
    Usualy when our parties are OVER, it is sunrise and we're getting in our cars to go home.
    Best party I ever THrew?.........................it envolved a helicopter, GoKarts, Fighterplanes and a Limo, plus more.
    Nice Deraill, ............anybody out there, come on. :mrgreen:

    CC is gut-rot. Forty Creek whisky is way better -- not sure if you can get your hands on it in Aus but if you can I'd definitely suggest trying it out (after you are through with your fitness regime of course).

    Haven't heard of that one, don't think we have it.
    It will be hard to get me off the CC, I am loyal to that beverage.

    İ love how when Canadians travel they go out of their way to make sure they are not perceived as American.

    American!?!?? Oh god no...I'm Canadian. İ guess İ never knew how sensitive and image concious Canandians were...the guy never said "all Canadians" anything...he was asking a question...İ thought Canandians were supposed to be laid back and chilled?

    Truth be told Canadians and Americans aren't all that different in the grand scheme of things...unfortunately we had a doofus representing us and being a world leader, we're always under the microscope.

    Truth be told, no-one in the world is that different to one-another, it's just our surroundings that nuture us.
    Some people are horrible, but they do not represent thier country, just thier shitty shit they are privy to.

    Actually, I think that you will find a good number of Americans with Canadian flags sewn on their backbacks when they travel too.

    Tea Party sound like The Doors to me.
    Wolf Mother sounds like Led Zep.

    On that note, I'm off to watch Dr Who. Weeehoooooooooo weeeeeooooooooo.theme song.

    strange that people say Tea Party sound like the Doors. At most, Jeff Martin looks like Jim Morrison, but their biggest influence musically is Led Zeppelin. I don't think they sound ANYTHING like the Doors.

    Wolfmother to me sounds like a cross of Led Zep and the White Stripes, with a dab of Black Sabbath thrown in for good measure.

    I always got into arguments about this back in the day. Tea Party are totally more on the Led Zep side than the Doors side of the music spectrum.

    Saw some pretty wicked Tea Party concerts in my day and they always pulled off great Zep covers. That Alhambra tour back in '97 (I think) was one of the coolest concerts that I have ever been to. They played an hour and a half acoustic set with a bunch of funky instruments (possibly even a Sitar) took 30 minutes off and came back out and played an hour and a half electric set. Great fucking concert.

    More like former band. They've been broken up for quite a while now.
    That said they were a really good band...put on a good live show.

    Great band but their singer was a total asshole. When in high school, I would check out these EMI meetup's when they came to town. Handing out samples & stuff. In conversation's, Jeff Martin was first on their list as the worst, selfish person in the music business. I personally, didn't care about the man. I loved their work on Splender Solis & The Edges of Twilight. Anything after pretty much sucked.

    Yeah, don't really know anything about that part of it - I agree with you about Splendor Solis and Edges of Twilight, and I did know that they have been broken up for quite a while....but Jeff Martin plays regularly here in Fremantle, and I have been told practically lives here, and puts on a really good show......
    I also think that the reason people equated them with the Doors, correctly or not, was because Jeff Martin's voice is very like Jim Morrison, and he does have a similar look - not saying that their music is actually anything LIKE the Doors, just that public perception may be that he looks and sounds similar to Jim Morrison if you don't actually LISTEN to the music properly....I have to admit - I still put Splendor Solis on a lot, and it's great for letting my little boy listen to when he is a bit restless and can't get to sleep.....very relaxing...
