Post subject: My favorite bands (The Ramones, Paul Collins Beat, AC/DC |

My name is Laura Dowling and I'm new here. I luuuuv music. What are some of your favorite bands/artists/groups? I dig stuff like The Ramones, AC/DC and Paul Collins' Beat, who hold a special place in this girl's heart.
Sadly, we lost Joey, Dee Dee and Johnny in just a matter of years. What I have read is that Paul Collins' Beat were good friends with The Ramones and toured with them for many years as The Beat and as The Paul Collins' Beat. I had the honor of seeing Paul Collins' Beat play in 2003.
Many of you have a wealth of knowledge and I wanted to share my love for the music with you. Paul Collins' Beat used to be known as The Beat and are still together, performing, writing and recording as Paul Collins' Beat. When I saw Green Day in Houston, they played a cover of "Rock N Roll Girl" by Paul Collins Beat. I thought it was really cool that they were fans too. The other day I checked back at the official Paul Collins' Beat website http://www.paulcollinsbeat.com and he looks incredibly young for his age. What a hottie!
The Paul Collins' Beat website even includes some free audio and live music videos of Paul Collins' Beat performing live on The Ramones Rock and Roll High School tour from back around 1979. I suppose in a lot of ways, Paul Collins' Beat is very similar in writing and sound to The Ramones. They should be, because Paul Collins knew The Ramones from back when he lived on the east coast.
For the folks who may not remember or if you'r e like me may not have been alive back then, Paul Collins' first band was called The Nerves with Jack Lee and Peter Case. They were a combination of classic rock, r&b punk and 60s rock, but with a bit more class than your typical punk bands of that time.
The Nerves wrote and recorded "Hanging on the telephone," which became a huge hit for Deborah Harry and Blondie shortly thereafter. When The Nerves split, Peter Case formed The Plimsouls and Paul Collins formed The Beat and The Paul Collins' Beat. Paul Collins wrote "Let Me into Your Life" with Eddie Money, who was initially responsible for The Beat's success. This comes to show that good friends come in all shapes, sizes and from all genres. My mom remembered when Paul Collins' Beat did a series of US tour dates with The Jam and The Police, primarily hitting concert halls on in the south/southwest, the east and west coasts. She drove in a van with three of her girlfriends just to see Paul Collins' Beat five or six times. I am just happy to see that a band as good as Paul Collins' Beat is still around after everything life can throw in your direction. Is anyone in here a fan of Paul Collins Beat or The Ramones?
Hugs, Laura

I like the ramones and AC/DC never heard of Paul Collins Beat. I like Green Day too. They're American Idiot is the best thing since Dookie but the whole rock opera idea that they are trying just isn't going to work.
