lzfan715 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) Since we have other band thread, I thought why not start one for her? And what a better than now, since tomorrow (January 19) is her birthday. She'd have been 64. I know I'm not her only fan on here, so now others can talk about her here. Happy Birthday Janis!

lzfan715 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) That is probably my favorite one too. Did you ever get the youtube link for her singing that on Tom Jones's show? I like Maybe too. I love that picture. I think she's pretty. (Does that sound weird because I'm a chick too?)

MOJO Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Yeah love seeing her. I have the link at my fingertips. I think she is beautiful, makes Spears look like a dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longdistancewinner Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 One of my all time favourite Janis performance's was 'Ball and Chain' at Woodstock. Everytime I hear it I always get a chill down my spine. They sure don't make 'em like Janis anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzfan715 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 She's so natural. Didn't use a lot of make up. I wish I could raid her closet, I'd steal this top: And the dress she has on in the first picture and this paisley outfit: Well, I'd take it all actually.

MOJO Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 When I saw Love, Janis they were selling an autographed poster of her topless coverd with the beads. If I had the $$ at the time it would be mine. One thing I got to look forward to is if there is an afterlife I will finally meet her.

lzfan715 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 They sure don't make 'em like Janis anymore. No they don't. I wish they did though. When I saw Love, Janis they were selling an autographed poster of her topless coverd with the beads. If I had the $$ at the time it would be mine. One thing I got to look forward to is if there is an afterlife I will finally meet her. I read Love, Janis and it talked about how proud she was of that poster. "The Haight's First Pin-up", she even left them up when her mom visited. If I had the money I'd get a Janis signature. Stevie Nicks has those beads she paid like $50,000 for them.

longdistancewinner Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Stevie was given some beads worn by Janis because she opened up for Janis with her band Fritz back in the late '60's. You see alot of Janis' influence in Stevie. Love her as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOJO Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 If I had the money I'd get a Janis signature. I saw a piece of paper: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzfan715 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 ^Was that her phone number?! I'm going to put it in my phone just to say I have her number. and Swimmer, I read in an interview that she bought those particular beads.

longdistancewinner Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 She may have bought the beads, I'm a huge Stevie fan and I'm sure I read somewhere that she was given them. Maybe this is another set of beads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOJO Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) I wish the phone # was mine. But I guess for enough $$$$$$$ it could be. Edited January 19, 2008 by MOJO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzfan715 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 Quite possibly. I'm not a huge Stevie Nicks fan but I like her. Janis on the other head is right up there with Zep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lzfan715 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) I hate being broke all the time. I'm saving up to get Box of Pearls. It's $50. I don't have that much and I have to start putting money back for a car. I might have my dad go half and half with me on it, the music not the car.

MOJO Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 my cash has been short because i haven't been working much latley. Not my choice though i do enjoy not working. i tried to put in a few days but i get so tired very easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzfan715 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 I don't have a real job. Not old enough. I really want a vintage Volkswagon Bug. I have no idea how much it will cost me but that is like a dream car. Unless someone wants to hook me up with Janis's hippiemobile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longdistancewinner Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) $50 for a boxset That would be around 25 squid here! Is it a new boxset? Janis and her kind don't tend to get recognised much over here. Edited January 19, 2008 by longdistancewinner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonefreelee Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I knew there were others. What's your favorite Janis song? Well, thanks for starting the thread! I too am a Janis freak, though nowhere near as much as LZ...i have so many favorite janis songs, but the real revelation to me was when a three disc box set came out in the late 90's (i believe). It is the one with that famous nude w/beads pic on the inside...anywho, excellent set...I believe the very first song on disc one is, "What good can drinkin' do". This is (according to liner notes) her very first known audio recording, supposedly in 1962. The power of her vocals on this track alone is unbelievable! Amazing, unbridled power and passion...I had never heard it up until that point...blown away and still am every time i hear it! I highly recomend this set to anyone...it has a LOT of alternate takes, unreleased songs, etc... The song that ties the above listed track is another one from this box set, an incredible, unreleased track (almost positive, anyway) named simply, "Misery 'n" I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And honorable mention goes to "Farewell Song"...her shoes have never been filled... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOJO Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Vintage Bugs are awesome cars. We used to chase each other through the woods in them. They float and if you get a flat two pickup the car while the third changes the tire. They run for ever. We would buy them at a junkyard for fifty $$ beat the shit out of them then sell them back to the junkyard for 25. a great day of fun.

lzfan715 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 No, it's been out since the 90's. It's sad that she doesn't get recignized. Jim Morrison is all over the place along with Hendrix, but not Janis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longdistancewinner Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) You see when I went to the U.S it was all about Janis, Hendrix, Morrison, etc on their rock radio stations. And you could just tune in to them in your car! But here? Not at all. You'd never even hear Zeppelin on our national radio stations. You'd probably have to buy a digital radio just to get rock stations that play that kind of music Edited January 19, 2008 by longdistancewinner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
