VH1.com : Love and Rockets : Biography

I’ve always liked Love and Rockets. I remember that I was just starting to really enjoy their music right before I moved to Austria in 1987. At a time when the rest of my music was offensively hard (Fear, Dead Kennedys, Replacements, etc) this was much more melodic. Granted, it could be a little dark, but it was fresh and new and I liked it.

I just found out that all three members were originall from (as VH1 puts it) “… the pioneering goth band Bauhaus”. Hah! I was “goth” before there WAS a “goth”! I’m that far ahead of the curve!

Well, that is…I was that far ahead of the curve. Here it is twenty years later and I’m still listening to Love and Rockets. I guess that makes me kind of stunted.

Not “retarded”!
