Just how much more? Because it's not working no matter how much Bill plays. |
| Aural_not_Oral (Oregon City, The Real OC) | Posted: Aug 10, 2007 - 11:39 This song reminds me of Rocky Horror Picture Show. . |

He still does Monday nights at the Saxon Pub, I think it's the LonelyLand incarnation. I could never figure out why The Ugly Americans could not BUY a gig, but the Scabs were the hottest thing since August asphalt. Fame is a fickle, fleeting thing... c. |

Bob fronted Joe Rockhead, The Ugly Americans, The Scabs, and now is fronting a band called Bluegrass Massacree. His styles run the gamut. Ugly Americans and The Scabs had killer horn sections, ripping out some pretty funky stuff. This is by far his most 'conventional' sounding tune. He's been doing a regular Monday night gig at The Saxon Pub for many years, going back to when Sandra Bullock would show up occasionally. c.

'Don't Be So Stingy (with your Pingy)' is one of the few printable song titles. Oddly enough, women totally LOVE him. He's kind of a jerk but an amazing talent. c. |

| pinto (west meade) | Posted: Jun 02, 2007 - 05:29 And nothing like using a lost Norman Rockwell masterpiece as the album cover... |
| bbkf37 | Posted: Apr 26, 2007 - 05:47 I am a big Bob fan and although this album doesn't show off his own multitude of eclectic styles, it is a great straight up rock album. My fav off of it is Game Plan, with Mudhouse as a close second. |
| Misterfixit (Nashville) | Posted: Apr 20, 2007 - 16:53 This must be the 5th or 6th time I've listened to Bob doing his rap. It has grown on me sort of like a festering carbuncle ripe and tender, full of pus, waiting for that magic moment when it is pierced and the blessed relief comes forth in one noxious gush of putrescent spew. Ah, the imagery of this song and his others. 'scuse me while I squeeze .... |
| folkalta (Santa Clara CA) | Posted: Apr 20, 2007 - 16:48  Never would have figured that out.

Yeah,just when you think you are being lulled into a state of comfortable near brain death some good music comes on. It's hard not to be letdown after REM sucks the life out of the set. You'll be OK.  |
| themotion (wherever you are) | Posted: Mar 29, 2007 - 07:30 I can't believe that moby gets a 7 and this song gets a 5 ... classic ... this song isn't fantastic, but it rocks ... losen up people ... you're taking this eclectic thing too far. |

| chucklesalmon (New York City, New York) | Posted: Mar 20, 2007 - 13:10 I remember Bobby Schneider from when I was in school in University of Maryland-Munich Campus (In Germany)....... He was this kid with Vans sneakers that played "blues" piano and sang little ditties.... |

I'm thinking that he was in a ZZ Top tribute band for years and now that is the only style he knows. |
| Bocephus (Boulder, CO) | Posted: Mar 20, 2007 - 08:10 Nothing too interesting going on here. Sounds like a 3rd rate bar band. |

| Beanie | Posted: Feb 22, 2007 - 11:54 Yeah...it is a little cliche...but I still kinda like it. The chord progression is straight out of Lenny Kravitz Let Love Rule. In fact, from a distance that's what I thought was playing.  So maybe I just like Lenny Kravitz!  |
| bmccall17 (Black Mountain, North Carolina, USA) | Posted: Feb 19, 2007 - 16:53 yeah BOB! love him at most any hour of any day... Though this is not my favorite of Bob. |
| buck-arkansas (Northwest Arkansas) | Posted: Feb 19, 2007 - 16:52 i like his voice. i like the background vocals. i like the nasty lead guitar. i like the total package. folks, it's all been done before. if you can't be with the one you love (to hear), love the one you're with (on radio paradise. right now). |
| dowdog999 | Posted: Feb 15, 2007 - 06:18 The guy's good, but this chord progression and melody have been done before. In fact, it's cliché. So, it deserves a 2. I'd like to hear other material from this artist. |
| DrCyKosis (~Galveston~) | Posted: Feb 13, 2007 - 11:17 This is the sort of 3 chord stuff that may be fun in a club on Friday night, but I wouldn't make an effort to download or buy. |
