THE COMPULSIONS Featuring GUNS N' ROSES Members Releases Profanity-Laced Live Video - Feb. 24, 2011
Critically acclaimed New York City rock 'n' roll band THE COMPULSIONS has released a fan-filmed live video for the song "Big, Fat, Sexy Mama" (see below). Viewers can "follow the bouncing boob" to check out the song's profanity-laced lyrics.
THE COMPULSIONS is led by founder and frontman Rob Carlyle and includes Richard Fortus (GUNS N' ROSES) on guitar, Sami Yaffa (MICHAEL MONROE, NEW YORK DOLLS) on bass and Frank Ferrer (GUNS N' ROSES) on drums.
Commented Carlyle: "When we played in early January, it'd been over a year since we were on stage together and with our schedules we could only rehearse once the night before. But there's something about the four of us because no matter how long it's been, whenever we get in the same room, the music just comes together instantly."
A full-length THE COMPULSIONS album titled "Beat The Devil" is in the works, with a very special guest appearance by guitar legend Hubert Sumlin (MUDDY WATERS, HOWLIN' WOLF).
Added Carlyle: "There's a lot of new COMPULSIONS fans lately and I'm happy to say they've been really getting into it. For starters, one couple drove five hours from New Hampshire through the ice and snow to see us play and a couple girls flew in from Sweden. So we're gonna put out a new record as soon as possible and hopefully keep the momentum going."
When asked about the inspiration behind "Big, Fat, Sexy Mama", Carlyle explained, "Lots of people have written songs like this before, whether it's John Lee Hooker with 'Big Legs, Tight Skirt', AC/DC with 'Whole Lotta Rosie' or Sir Mix-A-Lot with 'Baby Got Back' and it seemed time for someone to write another one. The lyrics are obviously filthy but what's really surprising is the amount of positive feedback I get from women of all shapes and sizes."
Ferrer and Fortus have performed on all three THE COMPULSIONS EPs — "Laughter From Below" (2004), "Demon Love" (2008) and "Been Through Hell" (2009). The six-song discs, known to diehard fans as "The Unholy Trinity," have received near universal critical acclaim from both the underground and mainstream press, including Classic Rock magazine, which dubbed THE COMPULSIONS "the coolest band in the world."

Huge fan of a lot of music in a variety of genres. Matchbox Twenty (working on a new album now) is one of my favorites.
What I don't like is the two least significant new band guys using gnr to push a different project. At least contribute something before using the name to sell yourself. One of the things I hate about dj as well. His saving grace is that he's better at Slash's parts than robin was and my cousin went to school with him and says he's a good guy.
