I've been listening to my newly acquired CD of that New Zealand band The Datsuns for the last week or two. I have to say that for the most part IT ROCKS! The only song I feel is much weaker that the others is track two, "MF From Hell." Apart from that track, if you like the band Deep Purple, lots of dirty, raspy Hammond organ work and guitars, then you'll probably like The Datsuns.
There, that's my critique of them. Buy it or not, as you see fit.

I read about them in the last guitar mag I bought, I will try to get some mp3 first.
Blues/rock thing or more Hard Rock thing?

I've loaned the disc to tensandtwenties so he can give it a listen. We decided that some of it sounds like early Sammy Hagar, other bits sound kind of "Punk" others sound like "low fidelity, middle seventies, hard rock." For the most part, I'd classify it as "hard rock." Perhaps T&T will give us his opinion after listening to it.

well you guys sound old cus i no of deep purple i no how to play the bit every one knows from smoke on the water but im morly into system of a down a decent song that isnt to hard as in like heavy metal from them i would have to say is chop suey or toxi city or arials all there songs are good to me but they are best for every one else so yer im gunna stop flapin my jaw and go

Ah, "Smoke on the Water." I think everyone who ever picked up a gitfiddle has hit those twelve notes! Duhnt duhnt duuhh, duhnt duhnt da duuhh, duhnt duhnt duuhh, duhnt duuhhh!
The Datsuns don't sound like that. Not to me at least, more like DP's B-side stuff.
And yes, I am old.

well i duno who dp's are or b-side so ill just take ur word on it that it sounds good its gota with a name like the datsuns you wouldnt want some super soft stuff like britney spears or some cr*p like that

well yer i might try and find some of there music on kazza if the stupid thing will find it

Speaking of us old guys, we actually remember that vinyl records had two sides. A hit "single" was put on side A, and some (usually unpopular) song was on side B. Further telling how old I am, I don't even know if CD singles generally come with one song or two.

Hey, was DPs "Highway Star" about a Datsun? The hook fits: nobody gonna take my car ...

Quote:

I don't know about that, that line is "nobody's gonna take my car, and gonna break the speed of sound." We all know A-12 powered 1200s are capable of Mach 1.1 or so!

By the way 1200ute8u1, DP is Deep Purple. I was just too lazy to type the whole thing again.
