Proof that J-money has even more free time than the rest of us combined.

Thanks for the info J.

Frank B Butter
Richard M Croissant

reveals their real names.  ;D

Is this GNR related?

Let's see: Two current GN'R members were in this band and some people are interested in listening to their past bands.

Some also say they never heard anything studio recordings by the current band members.

All this points to a "yes"!

 :-*





/jarmo

very cool Jarmo, I'm gonna check them out.

You were taken in but

Frank B Butter is actually Frank Ferrer of GNR and
Richard M Croissant is Richard 4tus of GNR. :yes:

I like how they named themselves after breakfest foods.  ;D  the tunes are actually pretty rockin.

Managed to get the album off ebay for 99p about 2 years ago, its still in my car somewhere!

Jonx

Jobsworth.

Mike

Yeah the songs are damn good, my favorites are "Honky Toast" and "Alcoholic Mama". Two kickass songs right there!

I know who they are, my post was tongue in cheek.

Thanks though. 

yeah iv got the album, pretty good stuff, but i prefer richard's pevious album with pale divine - straight to goodbye

This is really cool!

Yeah, I just looked for em on Amazon, and I found the CD for $0.05 USD plus $2.98 shipping. Now it's just the waiting game... I figure "what the hell?" for $3...

This is really great stuff! Who are the other members in the band? Are they famous or something?

Two possibilities:

#1: You're trying to be funny but your "joke" was already used in this thread and with your short attention span, you missed that fact.

#2: You can't comprehend basic English.

So take your jokes somewhere else and go listen to the tracks.

That joke was already made and wasn't very funny to begin with.

These songs rock thanks for the link.

yep the songs rock.

totally. I tried to turn it to something not so unpleasant, but....
Nothing can help those who don't help themselves.

Wow, haven't been to this site for a while, some things never change.

Jarmo, I'm sure you will delete this but your attitude demonstrated above is why so many people are turned off by your site. Lighten up man, get the sand out of your vagina.

Why don't you go troll somewhere else.

My attitude?

Yeah, I read posts by unfunny ass clowns like yourself day after day.

I'm sure you can relate. Think about the warts you have in your private parts. They're there day after day.....

PS Bye!

Have they released more than one record?

I haven't really listened to the first bunch of songs, but they seem cool.

Well, I finally got my $3 copy of the Honky Toast album a few days ago (the internet is a goldmine, not a garbage can!). Not at all bad for three dollars. The singer reminds of a cross between Eric Dover, Jani Lane, and Perry Farrell... Anyway, it's a fun album. Not exactly great, but hey... And for those of you that were hoping for some great Richard and Frank... well... let's just say that there is nothing on this album quite as good as what we've heard them play live this year... Just modern, late 90s rock.

Did you get that off eBay? Just curious where I can pick one up.

I also got a copy of this album from ebay and I loved it...

thanks jarmo!  cool stuff

I'm gonna go ahead and try that today. I liked what I heard on the Myspace page.

Damn, that rocked.

Just wondering if anyone thinks "Shakin and a Bakin" is an allegorical reference to some thing other than women. Shake and bake was an idiom used in certain cliques back in the day.

Actually, I nabbed it off of AMAZON. Search for Honky Toast under the "Music" tab, and search the "Used and New" listings. Here's a quick link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00000I15C/ref=dp_olp_2/002-5345234-1098445?ie=UTF8&qid=1189230232&sr=1-1

Take a look. The one I got was factory sealed, but it had one of those holepunches on the cover, like one of the promotional CDs that I get from Borders Books. Prices start at $0.01 USD with a $2.98 shipping charge. Not a huge loss!

Kick ass....just ordered mine. Thanks for the tip.

i like the music...illustrations are pretty cool too....those who end up buying the disc, let me know if any of that artwork made it onto the sleeve....interested to see how they did it...

Well, first of all, I must say thanks for checking out the site y'all, and thanks to Jarmo for bringing it to your attention.
There's a few questions that have come up about the band, which I will try and answer as best I can.


The album "Whatcha Gonna Do Honky?" was the only major release of the band (1999).
They also released an EP in 1997, called Meat the Honky. It has 8 tracks, plus hello/goodbye type tracks (10 in total). Only two of these tracks are not featured on the album, but there are different mixes of the other songs available here also. Probably recommended more for hardcore fans.

The illustrations you see on the profile, and in the photo album, are from the album "Whatcha Gonna Do Honky?" Artwork by Frank Melton. A comic book was also released as a promo for the album. Unfortunately I do not have that in my posession, though. YET.? ;)

FYI There is a great band photo up on the profile now...stay tuned for more additions soon.

Ebay, Amazon, CD Universe, name your online store/auction house of choice? ;D

You can now read about them, in the Featured Bios

Thanks for the informative posts HTF. :D

I can't listen to the music online, whats it like?

Wow, great dirty rock!  I love the guitars....

Don't kill me, but some of this is similar sounding to some Slash's Snakepit (shakin and bakin).  And that is a good think.  Just straight ahead rock!

I also hear some Jet, but better than Jet.   I like all the songs.  Love Bites rocks pretty good too!  Love Bites is AC/DC esque.  Singer sounds a lil like Bon Scott on this one!

Love the guitars and drumming......  Guys, some of this sounds so much like Adler and Slash to me... Maybe me loco..  Really cool rock!  Thanks for Sharing Jarmo!  Love the guitar playing!

The list of influences on the profile is compiled from what the band themselves said they sounded like, what reviewers said, and what I think they sound like. The interesting thing about Honky Toast is (and you will probably only believe me if you hear the entire album), their songs can vary a lot. So if you listen to Love Bites, then you may say they sound like ACDC, but if you listen to a different song, they may sound like nothing so much as the Rolling Stones, and so on.
Also it depends if you are talking about vocal influences, guitar influences etc.
Here's the list, it's not exhaustive: Heartbreakers (listen to LAMF and try to argue with this one), old NY Dolls, MC5, The Stooges, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, old Aerosmith.






Straight ahead rock indeed. And feel free to hear what you will in the sound.? : ok: You're not the first to draw a VR/Slash connection.

So its ok to open a thread on this section about NIN and Replacements?

Not really, no.

Although those bands also once featured current members of Guns N' Roses, I wouldn't think so. I think this thread was started in response to alot of questions about how to get more material from guys like Frank and Richard (and Pitman for that matter).

Both Robin and Tommy are pretty well known parts of The Replacements and NIN's history so almost no one ever asks about who they are and where they come from. It's also extremely easy to obtain material by either of them when they were part of those groups.

Most people (myself included) never ever thought to look for and knew where to find material featuring Richard and Frank.

I would think those reasons are why a thread about Honky Toast would be welcomed and the others would not.

I finally got this CD in the mail yesterday and listened to it.

I really, really wish someone else had sang on the record but other then that, I dig it.
