DeadSplinter Up! All Night: Love Lies Bleeding

Another song I heard on Better Things. A lot of radio stations thought, incorrectly, Alice Cooper’s 1975 ballad ‘Only Women Bleed’ was about menstruation and refused to play it. The song is about a woman in an abusive marriage. Of course, even if it was about menstruation, it’d still be douchy. Anyway, here’s Alice:

    • I do love Robbie Robertson. Here is another for you:


       

    • Great band, I don’t think they ever really got the recognition the deserved.

      • No doubt, Smithereens were way under appreciated.

  6. …well…on the one hand the alice cooper track tends to make me think of Polly Jean

    …but the “only women bleed” thing makes me think of a Tori Amos lyric & I’ve missed a lot of these threads lately so I’m going with a hat-trick on this one

  7. love lies bleeding….death comes ripping…i dont know why..but thats straight where my mind went…
    anyhoo..this is probably my favourite cover ever


    ive probably posted it before…lol
    anyhoo…even by my standards this mornings soundtrack is metal as fuck…my coworkers should probably beware today

    • oh wait…i membered one that fits the theme


      hehehehe…..yeah…i dont think im safe to be around today
      probably a good thing i mostly work alone

      • …just so long as you leave work with the same number of fingers & toes you arrived with?

        …to be fair it’s maybe a bit more metal than I can contend with at this hour…but metal is as metal does & so on & so forth…best of luck with that morning of yours

        • Lol I’ll be sure to keep all my digits 😂
          Tbh work is already making me pretty zen again
          Its good like that

        • …to be fair it’s maybe a bit more metal than I can contend with at this hour

    Iirc, I shared this one yesterday or so, but it fits (off New Jersey),The album cut;

    And on the subject of domestic violence,
    Garth (the sound qualityis trash, but it’s the full version):

    The Chicks;

    And a hard one to listen to, because for folks in my generation, it’s tied to the abuse & murder of Lisa Steinberg by her adoptive parents, but because Lisa deserves to be remembered💖;
