Customer Review: Good If you like that kind of music
This game is really good cause it gives people who are really into music a chance to create their own music… I am not an enormous music fan but the songs I have made on this game I think are great but the system is complicated and after a few songs you realise thar their aren’t that many riffs so you have to make your own.
Customer Review: Make Great Music
This game is great. You can make seriously good music, although after a while the riffs in the riff library run out and you have to start making your own. Also, the sampling from CDs often doesn’t work out and it eats memory up like nobodies business. Overall though, these are tiny gripes. It is my favourite game, even if aspects of it are slightly complicated.

Customer Review: The Sims For PS2 Is Missing Somthing
Well the Sims 2 for PS2 was never going to be a brilliant game when it was missing some vital things the PC game had for example you cant age,die (unless of course you get an electric shock from the DJ Booth)have a two storie house, have kids and there arnt enough Sims to make friends with. It takes cheats to make it fun even though i am usually able to play PS2 without cheats. It just isnt fun for long enough. so once you have finished the game and unlocked all the clothes, recipies, objects and locations its just boring! If you want to buy a game that you will complete in less than 2 weeks and will be thrown on a shelf in you room until you forget how to complete it and finish it again until you go threw it all again then i would advise you to buy it….But at this point you must wonder why i gave it 4 stars if its that bad. Well even though i’ve finishedd it 5 tims you can always make a new family and do it all again or make a freeplay family which will never end either way i was hooked to do it again! Its a good game but if you have the choice get it for PC……….
Customer Review: A Let-Down Compared to PC/Mac Version
I was prepared for the worst when I put in the Sims 2 disc into my PS2. I bought the Nintendo DS version of the game and was disappointed that it was unlike the orignial version on the computer. However, the Sims 2 on PS2 has the option of Free Play and I found that although it was not as satisfying as playing it on the computer, it does the job. Like the PC/Mac version; you can build sims, a house, relationships etc. (though doing these things proves to be much more tedious than on the computer) Also- it is alot more difficult building your ideal sim. Because I am used to the PC/Mac version, I find this game less fun than somebody who has never played the game would- but unlike the computer version there is no waiting for it to download (+ the computer version uses up hoards of memory on your PC/Mac).
Rock N Roll
Rock N Roll
Enjoyment of Rock N Roll–Ryan Adams’ follow up to his alt-country hit, Gold–is largely dependant on both your approach to it and your knowledge of rock’s rich history. There’s definitely plenty to enjoy, if you look in the right places and don’t focus so much on others. If you know zilch about music, but love gritty, rough and ready rock with big, fat slices of tunes, crunching guitars and attitude, then this will make you growl. If you loved Gold, but secretly hoped something rockier would emerge after Adams’s much publicised socialising with the Strokes and tribute-paying to Noel Gallagher, then this may be your record of the year. However, if you know your stuff, then you may feel uneasy. Not disappointed, but a little cheated. Why? Because, internal record-company politics and artistic tantrums aside, this is more Ryan Adams “In the Style of…” than anything else. For instance, “This Is It” sounds exactly like a Strokes song would sound, “Shallow” is Definitely Maybe-era Oasis (even down to the stolen T-Rex riff) and “So Alive” is 1980s U2.
That isn’t to say the songs aren’t anything short of fantastic (especially the almost ethereal, emotional “So Alive” (”Today I watched the boats / Moving through the harbour / Walking on water / In your arms I stay”)–great melodies, great guitar work. But you have to wonder, why. Thinking about that can only diminish enjoyment. It’s not his best work, but still damn good dirty fun. –Cortman Virtue
Customer Review: Poor Performance
Rock N Roll…
Well, it’s certainly different but I think that Ryan is just thrashing his guitar here and is not thinking about his lyrics.
The songs themselves lack the special quality that Ryan usually brings in his tunes.
Rock N Roll has a few decent tracks on, but all in all, its not the one for you if you are looking to buy your first Ryan Adams album!
What happened Ryan? I know you were annoyed at your record company, BUT COME ON!
Customer Review: Interesting
I swear the amazon guy who wrote the review read my mind…..!! Exactly what i was going to say - Yes its not Adams finest work - but too many people expect these good singer songwriters to consistantly top what they did last time - losing the appreciation of what they have actually accomplished.
Yes it is true that if you are a music purist - you may not enjoy this as it is not adams writing his ‘own’ music - yes he did write it but with a deliberate attempt to sound like other bands - tribute or not - they do sound like Oasis, U2 Strokes, Green day - and 1974 which sounds awfully like the Stooges ‘1969′.
It is more accessible than his lat rock stuff - and just as enjoyable - just buy it and appreciate it is not the album of his career but listen to some damn good popular rock….

Customer Review: Get a lesson!
I bought this for my son who wanted to learn. What a waste pay for a few lessons with a teacher quite cheap for kids. Used for a couple of days then discarded. Anyone who has been playing more than a month will find this a waste of money.
Customer Review: Dont be a Dummie buy this book.
This book is brilliant from basic through to very advanced.The book plus the C/D I might had must of taken ages to format,ending in a great product.Even if you only learn to play basic guitar,you have not wasted your money.If it was 3 times the price it would be cheap.There are over 380 pages or good info and the C/D OF course.I suggest anyone interested should take advantage of the excellent price currently at Amazon.co uk.I Per sonly think you could sell it on after use for a return of your purchase price [honestly].By the way Jon Chappell as a hand in this book along with Mark Phillips.I would recommend buying both for ?15 You wont be sorry.PS i have also wrote a review on Jon Chappell,s DVD.Hope this helps Sincerely Brian B

Playboy: The Mansion (PS2)
Customer Review: Girls Will Love The Game Just As Much As The Boys
The graphics for the game are awesome and the songs that you can hear by purchasing a stereo are awesome, too. What can I say? The game itself is awesome, awesome… AWESOME!!
You play as Hugh Hefner - a younger version, and basically need to make Playboy this big industry. You get assigned goals, have an assistant, etc. You get missions, make girlfriend, make close friends, host parties, call friends when you like, buy loads of luxary items, customise the mansion to how you want, publish a magazine for each month and much, much more.
The dudes out there will love this game because it contains some-what places of nudity. Occasionally some girls, by either talking to them or something will go topless… hell, even girls who aren’t lesbians will love that! I did anyways, LoL! You get to let girls have photoshoots for each months cover or centrefold and guess what? You can shoot them topless! As Hef, you can have sex with girls, too.. regardless at if they’re youe girlfriend or not… just make sure you know them well. Various places to have sex, too, such as shower, hot tub, under water, on bed, on sofa, etc.
The chicks will like it because it’s fun to play as a dude and explore stuff in a man’s world. I don’t really know.. but, I liked it and I’m a chick. Loads of things are funny, and also.. I like anything related to sim like games or… uh, sex! LoL! So, yeah..
Overall.. Man, this game is fun and addictive big time… it’s totally a drug. I think that if you want to get it then go with it. It’s not a waste of money but definatly a money’s worth.
If you need more info’ then contact me.

Customer Review: ROCK N’ F**KIN’ ROLL!!!
Became interested in the dolls after seeing their performance of ‘Jet Boy’ on an Old grey whistle test DVD. I thought about getting the seperate albums, but saw that the bulk of their stuff was on this excellantly priced compilation. This is no frills swaggering rock n’ roll. David Johansen proves that he has a great vocal style, and the rest of the band sound fantastic. The Doll’s were definatley one of those bands that I think have kept their credibility by having a such a great (but limited) output.
Customer Review: 20 tracks from one of the greatest bands ever…
This is an excellent 20-track compilation of the legandary New York Dolls- who along with Richard Hell/Voivoids, Johnny Thunders & Heartbreakers & Television sound positively contemporary compared to bands like Hives-Strokes-Vines etc.
The tracks come from the eponymous 1973 album produced by Todd Rundgren, 1974’s prophetic Too Much Too Soon and there are a few unreleased demo tracks (Lone Star Queen, Courgeous Cat Theme).
What got me hooked?- well a combination of the chapter on them in Nick Kent’s The Dark Stuff (see also the book Please Kill Me) and a clip of Looking for a Kiss that Morrissey chose when on Jools Holland in 1995/6 (?). This emanated from The Old Grey Whistle Test- also reissued on DVD this year. The band were just the coolest, though obviously it ended in tragedy, overdoses and appearing in a film with Hulk Hogan (David Johansen!).
Their influence is vast- the aforementioned Looking for a Kiss would be pilfered by the Sex Pistols for Problems- while bands like Japan,Hanoi Rocks, The Smiths, Motley Crue ,Guns’N'Roses ,The Manic Street Preachers, Suede and all the latest garage rock inspired bands would owe this lot a debt. The difference between the NY Dolls and wannabe’s like the Manics are THE SONGS.
As this CD demonstrates they had SONGS big time- Trash, Personality Crisis, Jet Boy, Vietnamese Baby (really!), It’s Too Late and Lone Star Queen. Imagine The Stooges playing Exile on Main Street on the worst drugs and you are near. Finally, the liner notes by Lenny Kaye (Nuggets, Horses, Easter)are a joy; Rock & Roll is an almost definitive reminder of one of the greatest bands ever…

The Golden Age of American Rock ‘n’ Roll Vol.1: Hard-to-Get Hot 100 Hits from 1954-1963
Customer Review: The music came from America yet they havn’t got these Ace sets
So far 9 Volumes and specials for Novelty,Country,Bubbling Under and even an extra called the Golden Age of Popular Music.
All highlights the hits and misses and include in the booklet chart positions in both America and the UK of the songs.More failed in this country that’s if they were even released.But that was all about to change once the Beatles era began.
This review applies equally to everything-there’s little point in providing info when its all been done in the booklets.
But I did notice one glaring ommission on a later volume which included Gabriel & the Angels “That’s life”-which has no info against it.This was a Swan recording from 1963 and its unlikely to be the real Angels who were on the charts over the period 1962/4.How for instance did they get permission to use the name? As this was a Swan recording it could have been one of their girl groups like the Swans using another name.
That’s life is a great piece of high school pop-listen to this among a batch of pop songs and it stands out-it is in fact an unknown and undiscovered classic
Customer Review: the golden age of rock ‘n roll
This is a great collection.
Many of the artists I have never heard of but you can tell they all belong to the same era when all pop songs were about being a teenager and falling in and out of love.
Some of the songs are well known, for example Louie Louie by the Kingsmen, which is an excellent example of dirty rock ‘n roll before the Rolling Stones really got going. Let’s Dance by Chris Montez is another song which you are bound to know.
There are a couple of ‘novelty’ records which I tend to skip when playing the CD (Mule Skinner Blues, Stranded in the Jungle). The best finds are several songs with female vocalists which are absolutely brilliant - Sally Go Round the Roses, A Thousand Stars, I love How You Love Me and Eddie My Love.
I really love playing this CD in the car. If you like late fifties/ early sixties American music you should buy it!
