The Hellacopters

[CarterS]

Are there any Hellacopters fans out there?

I caught these guys at Livid last year after hearing a bit about them, and they were just awesome... they are virtual nobodies in the USA but supposedly have a big, devoted following in Australia. Their newest album is called 'By The Grace of God' and rocks out to ridiculous proportions.

Not to try and push a band on you guys, but if you love your rock & roll then I recommend you check them out.

Are they that Swedish band who did the interview with Charlie and Mel on JJJ last year when asked about their interests replied "We like Music"?

They rock spewin i didn't go and see them live, I'm told they ripped *hit up.

How many albums do they have? i've only got high visibility

btw how easy are their albums to find I only found out about them recently and haven't looked much for thier stuff.

Their first album Supersh*tty to the Max is real good and the Disappointment Blues EP is definately a high point. I'm not such a big fan of the other stuff. Saw them live about 6 years ago and they were pretty good live but to be honest I've seen other bands doing a similar style (e.g. the Powder Monkeys, Bored!) do it a lot better.

Nicke should have stayed with Entombed.

Have managed to catch the mighty Hellacopters about half a dozen times over the last six years or so (first at Livid 98, and most recently in Melb last year), and would have to say they're one of my favorite bands in the world.

Their cover of the Stones' "Gimme Shelter" is simply amazing.

One of my fave Hellacopters moments was standing next to them whilst watching the Powdermonkeys at BDO 02?, and just a few hours later standing next to the Powdermonkeys whilst watching the Hellacopters on the same stage ....

Respect The Rock.
