Pistolero: Pistolero
\nLabel: Sign of the Devil
\nRelease Date: 1999
\nReview Date: 2003<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure what point there is in reviewing a cd by a band that isn\u2019t around. Especially considering that they didn\u2019t put a mailing address on the disc, so you couldn\u2019t get it if you wanted it. Also, I blame John Sampson for all the bad bands I was in during my second college career. It seems he couldn\u2019t be bothered to answer any of my flyers and as a result I was not in the kind of bands that I wanted to be in.<\/p>\n

Pistolero is on the wave of bands that emulates the Detroit hard rocking sound that\u2019s a little bit Iggy, a little bit MC5. You know the drill, and so do they. It\u2019s an old wave, but they got on it about 15 minutes before a lot of other bands did. They are super sloppy and are pretty much hit or miss in a live performance. This cd is pretty much forgettable with the exception of a couple of songs, the most notable being “Bender” and “Bad is Good”. Otherwise, it gets a bit irritating if you listen to the whole thing. I don\u2019t give up my grudges easily.<\/p>\n

On a more positive note, I\u2019d like to take this opportunity to give my apologies to Joel the bass player. I used to see him very infrequently, and thanks to my social ineptitude and his frequent disguises I was never able to recognize him. So… sorry Joel. I may be a jerk, but I wasn\u2019t intentionally snubbing you. Also, what\u2019s the deal with that smarmy guitar player? I don\u2019t like him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
