Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

Any fans? I purchased the Live album/DVD combo and while I love the tracks on the CD, I'm terribly disappointed with the sound quality. Any fans out there have any other album recommendations? I was going to go with either s/t or Howl next but thought I'd ask.

2010 Watch It Go To Fire

I would go with Howl. Top to bottom, it is a great album. On another note, the movie "9 Songs" has some pretty good live outtakes of BRMC, Elbow, and Franz Ferdinand.

Huge BRMC fan here.

first three albums are great (BRMC, Take Them On, On Your Own, and HOwl). BAby 81 is ok. Beat The Devil's Tattoo i also like a lot. I also bought the live dvd/cd london show (also got the t-shirt . I didn't think the sound was too bad. If you get the chance see them live, they are great live. I think i've seen them about 5 or so times.

thanks everybody. I guess the sound isnt terribly bad, the vocals are just so muffled on the harder rockin songs.

i just watched the film "the wild one" with marlon brando and realized that this band got their name from the biker gang in the movie.

yep that's where they got it from I was at the shore about 5 years ago or so with some friends and this movie came on and I was wondering if that is where they got their name from, and sure enough it was.

I think I saw BRMC 6 times in 2010 so I'm definitely a fan.

Howl is wonderful in that it's a brilliant musical left turn but still tied to the base of their sound. I know that it turned some fans off but that seemed to be because it didn't follow in the direct footsteps of BRMC and TTOOYO. I think the album is flawless.

If you're a fan then you'll wind up with all of their albums. You'll want them.

thanks, I'm sure I'll eventually get there, just wondering what to buy next. I think I may just start at with S/T and go chronologically.

Starting at the beginning is a good plan. Listen to them as they came.

I think it's probably their most radio-friendly album, not their best.

For my ears their best "traditional" BRMC album (not counting "Howl" because of it being a Peter/Rob project), is B.R.M.C. with "...Devil's Tattoo" a strong ass 2nd.

Wow, i just found out something very interesting/cool/weird/odd.

Their tour manager is Grant Gelt. He played Bertram Grover Weeks in the movie The Sandlot. :shock:

Mr. McCready showing some BRMC love

I still spin that first BRMC first record...it goes down nice and smoooth, easy with a little burn, it's like a nice Drambuie, grand marnier or scotch.

I dug Sell It More. yeah specter at the feast is great, pretty underrated i thought (not on too many people's top albums last year).

In love with this band !!!!

Saw them the other night at Camden Electric Ballroom. Hadn't heard any of their stuff previously. I liked 'em, they're a tight live act albeit a bit lacking in stage presence
