Frampton Comes Alive!

[joeybee12]

Just got back from the library--saw the cd there and had to take it out.

My cats hate it!!!!!!!!!!!

1. Man I heard enough of that album in college to last me a lifetime...

...(apparently), 'cause it's 25 years later and I have no desire to hear one note of it again.

Those that had it when it was released (1974 or '75) played the SHIT out of it, and since we were in a dorm, you could hear some part of that album nearly 24 hours a day.
:eyes:

9. We must have been in college at the same time.

Because I also remember hearing it constantly in college. I liked it at the time, but it was overplayed.

[Old and In the Way]

12. Hahahaha

I can relate to your post....

When I was in school (73 I think), the guy next door in the dorm would play "I Don't need No Doctor" on his 600 watt sytem as soon as he'd get tanked on the weekend...play it all night until he'd pass out. He thrash and bang off the walls...real annoying.

One night, he was jumping off his bed and fell into his dresser, busting his arm.

As it turned out, he did need a doctor.....

14. now THAT's funny!!

Great last line, OAITW! :D :thumbsup:

2. I'm with your cats!

Must run under bed now.

4. Heehee

I was 13/14 when that album came out and was huge. Everytime I put it on, my stepdad made fun of it.

Looking back, he was right.

Nah.. the guitar work was great, but the songwriting. Ouch.

3. Hard to come when you're dead, I suppose.

Your cats have good taste.

5. When I was a freshman in HS, unless you had that album,

you were viewed as a sub-species of human. In other words, "If you ain't got 'Frampton Comes Alive', you ain't shit."

Still like that album to this day.

*hums 'Do You Feel Like We Do' as he types*

[joeybee12]

6. Other than the obvious cuts that were played over and over and over

when the album came out, I have to say that most of this is amazingly forgettable.

7. Can't stand Peter Frampton

He practically ruined the Ringo concert I went to a few years back.

[corarose]

8. I saw Frampton at Navy Pier one day and God he has changed

I never would have guessed it was him. He was beautiful back in his days.

22. yes then and now:

10. Reminds me of sixth grade

Frampton, Fleetwood Mac's "Rumors", "Wings at the Speed of Sound" and Gary Wright's "Dream Weaver" were all that was being played in those days.

And Stevie Wonder's "Songs in the Key of Life". Man, it seemed like there was new release from that album every hour.

[K8-EEE]

16. Yeah, and...

Steve Miller Band...I saw where Peter F. is selling a You Can Play Guitar infomercial thing!

11. Your cats have excellent taste.

[NightTrain]

13. Anyone remember the follow-up?

FRAMPTON DROPS DEAD!!!

[joeybee12]

15. Really, I think I would have remembered a title like that

The funy thing about this album is that he really was a nobody and for some reason, EVERYONE bought it.

[Capn Sunshine]

21. he wasn't a nobody, joey

he was one of the dueling guitars in Humble Pie,awesome legendary rock band , great live. He had chops, boy and it was a time where touring popularity led to contracts so there was a built in audience. Get this album and listen to it if you haven't:

[joeybee12]

23. Ok, nobody was an overstatement--but there really wasn't anything

to indicate that people would go crazy over this album!

It surprised everyone.

[elcondor]

18. I like it

You just can't listen to the words too carefully--they don't make a wick of sense. But it's a nice album for a summer roadtrip, IMHO.

[SEAburb]

19. "Frampton Comes Alive!" was the begining of the end of Disco

For that alone Pete should be held in respect.

20. DISCO LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
