The Ga Ga’s will tell you, with an earnest expression smuggled across their faces, that 2005 is the year of real rock. Indeed, with ludicrously tight black leather and authentic 1989 slacks, they would love to tell you, JD in hand, that international stadiums wait to greet them and their unique blend of sleazy drink and drug fuelled rock ‘n' roll.

Now whilst the first point might unfortunately have some basis in fact, with this weak and mealy offering of ‘Sex’, The Ga Ga’s have merely attempted to flog a riff of such antiquity it’d make Ozzy blush in embarrassment. This Velvet Revolver-lite rifling is then coupled with lyrics involving a sordid incident with a very unfortunate young lady whom, allegedly, "did it all for the sex", while some form of S&M act is taking place: "I’m just a whipping boy for you / just another scratch on my arm."

Pseudo-Masochism aside, the most upsetting aspect of this poor mans' sweaty leatherette lunchbox of a song, is that the best aspect they have to offer the world, is themselves. Sure, they might well sleep with your sister, but only by telling her that they were in a rock band she’s never heard of. Such lazy showmanship is their lifeblood, and I for one am praying for their ensuing transfusion.

The Ga Ga's - Sex

what a load of gash.

If you look at photos of them, you just know they're crap.

The Ga Ga's - Sex

Saw them in the Barfly and the photos do them justice, they are crap.

Re: The Ga Ga's - Sex

Glad it's not just me then. Really couldn't believe anyone would bother making something so incredibly sexist and dated. It actually makes The Detroit Cobras seem relevant.

I was going to mention this band on the "worse than Keane" thread on the forum. Not heard this, but their last(?) single was screaming bullshit.

hahahah

i can now call it shit WITHOUT EVEN SOILING MY EARS.

The Ga Ga's - Sex

You lot are not only spiteful sad bastards, you must also be deaf!
I have seen this band live 3 times and they are brilliant musicians with great rock songs. If you don`t like the music fine but it would be nice to think that people who take the trouble to write comments here, can at least give an objective view point on a band or artist that goes beyong their own musical prejudice. How many KKKK reviews do you see in Kerrang for new bands? Few and far between (but including this band last week for their debut album) and I know whose opinion I would trust the most. Open your ears and LISTEN.

The Ga Ga’s – Wowza finally a band that knows how to get a good guitar sound!! I can proudly say there the best band I’ve seen in years! Such a refreshing change to the ‘Carbon Copy’ crap that’s about at the moment. I’m sure the naive folk of the UK will catch on when it becomes fashionable to like them.

Peace,
Chris

eeeeeeeeeeeerm HELLO wake up and smell the coffee people! most of you by the sound of your musical judgement wouldnt know rock if it walked up and smacked you in the face.its pretty obvious this band has talent and i think you will be kicking yourselves in the near future when this band is destined for big things!!!

The Ga Ga's - Sex

'drug fuelled rock ‘n' roll.' For one the members of The*Ga*Ga*s are only guitly of smoking, so that drug fuelled bullshit you can stick right up your sorry ass! They've worked hard to get where they are today and have got further than any of you little narrow minded bitches ever could! So before you judge them by photographs and first hearings, listen a little closer and realise that these talented guys are going far whether you like it or not, get used to them cause you're gonna be hearing alot more of them!

The Ga Ga's - Sex

alcxxk I think your a cock.I don't like you and ive come to the decision within the 23 words of absolute bullshit you posted that you are definately a cock. Don't you love it when you can judge slimy little dickheads from less than 30 words and sum them up in just one! that being COCK end of posting!

Re: The Ga Ga's - Sex

wait
so someone posted a link to this article on the gagas message board?
or worse, all the profiles that have been set up with no purpose but to defend their bullshit are actually THE BAND THEMSELVES?

and the examples of me judging a band on reviews and comments on a site i trust and you judging me on one post aren't actually equivalent. if a bunch of people on a message board/reviews site told you i was a cock, i certainly wouldnt feel an injustice you didnt bother to ever read anything i'd posted or written.

The Ga Ga's - Sex

I cant judge you on one post but you can judge a band and its fans off one posting also. i feel that is injustice.

I also noticed that me calling you a cock and you calling anyone who protects this band a fool is infact similar.

and yes you did call me fool...

"i love it when theres not a SINGLE fool defending a band."

well im defending this band and that means that im a fool. so infact its not me who has to justify myself because my comment of you being a cock was based on your posting wheras your comment of anyone who defends this band as a fool was based on what??? come again?? ah nothing. thought so!

And as for the you cant judge me by one posting shit
can you really judge a band by one song.
