The Charlatans have decided the show must go on, despite the tragic death of their keyboard player Rob Collins. The band say they will honour all live commitments - including supporting Oasis at Knebworth - and release a new single, One To Another, on August 26. They will then finish work on their new LP. They will also keep the song's video - filmed with Rob just a week before he died in a car crash. The Charlatans say they're staying together after the death of founder Rob Collins because "it's what he would have wanted". A band statement reads: "The band, their management and associates are naturally devastated with the loss of not only an influential member, but more so a great and loyal friend. "We have to continue in his memory. He lived it like he loved it, and he ran out of time.

Awfully sorry Dan, I certainly didn't mean to get on anybodies back, let alone put their place of origin down (isn't it strange how people can mistake a small observation for a personal attack?). You were quick to assume that my tone is sarcastic, but maybe if you just dropped the macho bullshit you would have perhaps realised that I was being sincere. I guess some people are just too quick off the mark (a bit like dear old Linford!) Cheerio for now P.S. When someone has something interesting to say, then perhap you'll be treated to my patronising wit more often. Was that snappy enough for you? ------------------------- Date: Thu, 25 Jul 1996 11:37:53 -0400 (EDT) From: Martin LACASSE Subject: Rob... Apart from his truely amazing keyboards. Let's not forget that Rob also did "back up" vocals, which in my opinion went really well with Tim's vocals. I know its quite selfish to start thinking about the future of the band at this moment in time. But I personally feel that the band cannot go on as a 3 instrument piece. Too many bands are like that and sound the same, and I'm scared they'll end up sounding like Oasis or something. I know its selfish in someway but I think they should consider getting a new keyboard player, if they decide to go on (maybe a chemical bro?, doubtly). It doesn't have to be a hammond, but just something, so they can work on different sounds. Rob I'll miss ya, and will engrave in my mind the left over images of your 3 performances I attended.

Haven't you listened to both bands? Be realistic for a second here. Hell, that one song (don't know the name of it, but they sure play 'er on the radio alot) is a direct rip of of 'Imagine'.

True, they don't have much to do with what we've been discussing, but who cares? Theyr're called THE CHARLATANS!!!!! Sorry, just kidding!!!!! To put in my humble opinion, I like almost every band that's been bashedon this list (the Roses, Verve, Suede, and, yes, I'm sorry, but Oasis is pretty good despite all the similarities...)

My point is that Oasis is a bad band because they can't be original. Ripping off a good band doesn't make you a good band. It only makes you cheap. A good band develops its own sound.

Shithead hypocrites are the best. The new suede single is called trash, and that's exactly what it is. NO! I am joking. It is grrrrrrrrrrrrrreat! It has quite a 'tinny' sound to it, the vocals are distorted and high pitched, and it is just a damn cute little song. When you hear it, you will understand what I mean by cute. Oh, and it is available on two CD singles, bith with two seperate bsides. I have CD1 and am awaiting CD2, but the bside "Europe is our playground" is really good. Very different from former suede, with a deep base line and almost a trip hop beat to it. Well, almost........ Check it out for yourself.... it should be available early August (the 3rd, I believe) in NA music stores. It was available for listening at the nme web page a little while ago, it may still be. Anyways, sorry to be so un-charlatans on this posting....... *s* "Maybe it's our kookiness....but were trash" -suede -------------------------------- Date: Thu, 1 Aug 1996 09:01:26 GMT From: *suedette* Subject: Re: Rob...

As to the future well the new single 'One to another' is absolutely amazing in every respect and I'm sure the band can pull it off - they have done it before and will again, everyone should have a bit more faith and after seeing this band about 15 times live I have nothing but faith in the future and what they can acheive !

The new Suade single is complete bobbins - it's basically a predictable and shallow affair with very little lyrical variation. I defy anyone who likes it to uphold their opinion for more than a week because after hearing it day-in, day-out on the sodding radio I've come to the conclusion that it is in actual fact, crap.

No more irrelevant non-charlatans talk. No more. I will eat breath sleep and shit the charlatans. However, I must question your above comment- "Us charlatans fans don't want to hear about bands...".

I thought the last time this subject came up we all came to an agreement that this list was a place to discuss good music, especially the Charlatans. Some of these bands have a lot in common. For example Mark Collins and Noel Galagher were both roadies for the Inspirals. I think its cool to talk about other bands. Just remember that everyone has the right to their own opinion. Here's mine- Noel Gallagher can't sing and sucks at guitar. Suede sucks so bad that I walked out of their show in the second song. I'm a leaf on the vine of time, Cresser. -------------------------- Date: Thu, 01 Aug 1996 12:50:45 -0400 (EDT) From: DANIEL MCNELIS Subject: Re: Oasis+The Beatles-Blah,Blah.. Raj- I think that I can speak for everyone when I say that we're all anxiously awaiting ANY new material (be it single or album; the single hasn't exactly reached the states yet) from the Charlatans, but what is the harm in discussing other bands in whom list subscribers shares a mutual interest in this period of apparent inactivity? There are a lot of British music fans who have a hard time getting info/updates on their favorite bands because they live in areas of the world that require the purchase of expensive import magazines for such info. The reason why some aren't on a different list for every band that we like is because we don't have time to sort through 300+ e-mail messages every time we turn on a computer. I can understand your anger when none of the messages from the list have to do with the Charlatans, but as soon as they regroup and make a few announcements regarding the future of the band, the tour, the album, etc. I'm sure the list will pick up again. Respectfully, dan. --------------------------- Date: Thu, 1 Aug 1996 13:04:18 -0400 (EDT) From: Martin LACASSE Subject: Re: Oasis+The Beatles-Blah,Blah.. > I can understand your anger when none of the messages from the list > have to do with the Charlatans, but as soon as they regroup and make a few > announcements regarding the future of the band, the tour, the album, etc. I'm > sure the list will pick up again. But the point of a "mailing list" is that if nothing is going on with the charlatans, then there shouldn't be any messages. Its a mailing list, hence only when their is new information should their be an e-mail. I have to disagree with you, when you said that most people on this list share common band interests. This is in fact not true, as we have seen in the past 20 messages. People subscribe to this list, with ONE common interest "the charlatans", and nothing else. I'll agree that sometimes other band comparisons may pop up. But to the point of saying that you would want other band discussions because you don't want to subscribe to other lists defeats the purpose of a "charlatans" mailing list. If you want information about other british bands, without buying those expensive magasines.

Hi! Let's cut this out. Though this is a Charlatans mailinglist, it doesn't mean we can't mention other bands. These bands are mainly in the same music scene as The Charlatans, and are therefore quite relevant to people who is into that kind of music. I don't like one-sentence messages and big slagg offs as i think those things can be sorted out with private mails. But serious questions and discussions about bands from "the alternative" scene, shouldn't be hard for us music lovers to handle. I can say this, also since i run this lovely list . Anyway, I love Oasis, I love Suede, I love The Beatles, I love Blur, i love Kula Shaker, I love Manics, I even love Howard Jones. The Charlatans is the best though, and they are warming up for Oasis on August the 11th. THAT's pretty relevant to me. Lighten up people.

Martin- Since you're mincing words, I might as well mince words, too: Nowhere did I say that MOST of us share common band interests; The only time that I ever took it upon myself to speak for the whole list is when I said that we were all anxiously awaiting new Charlies material. I said that SOME of us were talking about mutual band interests. I'm sorry if I didn't get my point across; I intended for the message to have an apologetic tone and perhaps explain why these discussions were occurring. I wanted to avoid most of the hostility and sarcasm that usually appears on this, the "Oasis-bashing list". Here's something for the lot of you: Although I am quite fond of the band, there is an internet site that I came across about a month ago that a lot of you might enjoy. It's called the "Oasis Hate page" (or something like that). I don't know the exact address, but you could use net search... Sorry about the other band content, I'll try to avoid it in the future.I do know about the supersonic guide, but I don't have internet access at home. dan.

Sheer Heresy, say you?! Maybe, but consider that Taylor was rockin the keyboards with the Prisoners and JTQ well before the Charlatans made it, and both play awesome Hammond grooves, it is maybe too obviously brilliant for most to grasp! For those who doubt, ...check out the Prisoners "Taste of Pink", "Last Fourfathers", and "Out from the Cold" if memory serves. As my two bits, I will throw in that on their first tour in the States, when they played small clubs, Oasis sounded great. Their last record and tour both sounded like they were produced by a metalhead teenager with no experience and was drunk on Mad Dog. Yes, like total shit. Let's hear it for the Beatles' producer George Martin and the band. Also, was there this much comparison between the last Charlatans LP and the sound of the Rolling Stones, et al.? Artists naturally borrow, steal pieces of stuff they hold dear, hoping too come close to the feeling of their original creators and to expand... By the way, the new Bluetones sounds like Ride and Stone Roses big time! on first listen. Let's hope at least the latest (last?) Charlatans record sounds ORIGINAL and do justice to Rob's innovative work over the years. I'm done ranting now.

Let's hope at least the latest (last?) Charlatans record >sounds ORIGINAL and do justice to Rob's innovative work over the years. Wow I completely disagree here. The Stone Roses comparison, I suppose, is valid to an extent, but only the happier pop songs off the first album if anything. But I don't think that the Bluetones have one ounce of anything similar to Ride. Ride had fuzzy guitars, phenomenal drum lines, and rough vocals. The Bluetones have jangly guitars, standard drums, and smooth vocals. I'm not getting that one, sorry. (Ride is still on my Top 5 bands of all time list, I'm afraid.) I personally think that the Tones borrow their influences more from the Liverpool and London scenes of the late 80's than anything else, with a hint of Squeeze-esque "proper songwriting" thrown in for good measure. I don't want to start a Bluetones thread, but it's interesting that I just got this e-mail, cause I just walked in the door from aimlessly driving about for an hour listening to the Tones. I was just thinking as I was pulling my car into the parking lot outside, trying to figure out just what makes the Bluetones such a good band (and I DO reeeeally like them,) and more interestingly, WHY they're popular, because their music and style remind me of bands that I love but that the British press have never been too keen on, like the Trash Can Sinatras, for instance. Not that it's important or anything, but it's pretty good brain candy for a Friday morning. Also, another incidental thing I realized while driving around on my Tones kick... I was listening to "Are You Blue Or Are You Blind" and noticed just how much their drummer sounds like an early Jon Brookes on that track.... anyone else caught that? shane --------------------------------- Date: Fri, 02 Aug 1996 11:41:29 -0400 (EDT) From: DANIEL MCNELIS Subject: Re: Other bands Leave it to a Canadian to like Sloan!

The Stone Roses and The Charlatans were unfairly compared in the late 80's, The two bands having common roots in '60s R&B and Soul (on the bass side), but there the similarities ended (apart from the fact that neither Brown nor Burgess could exactly sing). The Roses sounded more like Jimi Hendrix and other guitar orientated bands, but the Charlatans, with their instantly recognisable Hammond (C3?) sound and naive guitar work on Indian Rope and the early demos had more in common with Deep Purple (The opening organ chords of 'Then' are exactly the same as 'Hush') who in turn took more of a Detroit Funk feel than many contemporaries. Most of the bands of the Roses and Charlatans ilk have fallen by the wayside in the 90s, but I hope The Charlatans (Band of The Decade in my own opinion) will not let Rob's sad demise stop them from achieving the acclaim and success I think Oasis stole from under their noses.

I mean, the roadies have already made it big -- why not someone from the band! He can play, that's for sure, but I also agree that the band have put out CRAP since Revenge of the Goldfish (well, the How It Should Be single was cool, but that Saturn-freakin-5 album is major league dung). Revenge... is an excellent alternative-indie-pop album -- I've had it on the CD changer non-stop for the past few weeks -- great sing-along while you drive stuff! Speaking of driving, I actually drove the four hour's round trip from Paris to Lille one night to see the Inspirals at the Aero-something on the Revenge... "Tour de France" (but then again, I once drove the x hour's roundtrip from Edinburgh to Newcastle to see OMD at the town hall -- hey, I was desparate for live(?) music!)
