Roe songs on PPOA Reply to this Post Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Posts Report Post to a Moderator       Go to the top of this page
I'm a so totally not a liner notes guy, so while I was looking at PPOA liner I noticed that of the "9" songs on the disc Mike Roe only had 1/2 writing credits for 4 of them and none for the other five.

I guess I was sort of amazed by this. I have pretty much always just considered Mike to be guy behind the band - and in front of it as well.

FWIW

I have been trying to refute the myth of my "in chargeness" for years but no one listens because everyone wants to worship a leader.

It's in our nature, I guess.

Tongue

the good doctor - each time I have seen him has definitely been trying to clear up the myth that he is the influence and main song writer of the 7's material...

pointing to the Marks influence and others...

although... when talking to M. Harmon and B. Spencer at times they always are quick to point out that Mike is amazing in taking their ideas and expounding and making it something all together different...

I think Mike's delivery of the lyrics have such feeling and emotion people tend to think they came from him. Or in other words its hard to listen to a 77s song especially live and not think it came from him. Maybe I am wrong but to me thats how it seems.

Kinda like how a really good actor puts so much of himself in a role people tend to think the actor is like the character in real life.

good point audiori...

Mike's phrasing of a lyric is also amazing and clearly a roe thing...

That is the sign of a great performer,
that upon hearing the performance one makes the mistake of thinking
not only did they write the song, but it is from personal experience.

I agree with much of what has been said...but I think I can usually distinguish a Roe song from a song written by someone else in the band. Also, I think the best "mix" was Mike, Mark Tootle, Jan Eric, and Aaron Smith...the other lineups, they don't compare. The only people I've ever heard disagree are those who got into the 77's at or after Sticks and Stones...all "old school" fans I've talked to agree, which doesn't mean there cannot be exceptions, just my observation from my experience.

BTW, Stryper was in town promoting their new disc on Wednesday and I didn't even know it...would have stopped in to see them...loved them as a kid, though that isn't my thing these days.
