i hope there is some love for his genius here.

I'm not a hardcore fan but I love his stuff when I hear it.

He sure was prolific... at making babies.

I know his name and some songs, but that's about it.

bump because he was so good.
with all the crap music love i see goin on here...there has to be some more fans here. this cant be a forum of only new motley crue cd love. which by the way is awful.

I like "I Put A Spell On You." I can't say that I'm familiar with most of the rest of his work. I think his influence can't be underestimated, though, especially in terms of showmanship. There wouldn't have been an Alice Cooper, Arthur Brown, Kiss, or Marilyn Manson without him.

Can't beat Frenzy or Constipation Blues. Screamin' Jay is a legend. Bat sh-t crazy, too. That always makes for good rockin'.

check out youtube. there is a bunch of stuff on there. mostly songs with slideshows but there are a few live performances.
