I was 8 or 9 when that LP was recorded but I bought a copy when I was an impressionable teen in 1989. <BR/><BR/>Early Swans: Just depends on how much Gira you can take, I suppose. I personally like his voice. I can see how someone else might not. Note: The vocals on Filth and first Swans EP are more "angry" and "punk" and less "painful" and "gloomy" than the Raping a Slave-era stuff and what followed.<BR/><BR/>How did the Toy Killers end up playing w/o Mark Miller anyway? That always seemed odd to meAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6484644.post-1113500716456161282005-04-14T13:45:00.000-04:002005-04-14T13:45:00.000-04:00Thanks anon - it's good that someone knew the deta...Thanks anon - it's good that someone knew the details of what went on (where you there?). As for early Swans, I keep on listening to the Raping a Slave / I Crawled EP and I stick by my original assessment. Great band, good songs and lyrics - poor frontman. So yeah, great drumming.Jim Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14126808520365186688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6484644.post-1113499898335555182005-04-14T13:31:00.000-04:002005-04-14T13:31:00.000-04:00You are mistaken.

Gira just plays metal percussion on that track. He does not open his mouth. And I think Foetus plays on it, too, credited as "Frankie." I agree that it's a miserable tune. <BR/><BR/>But I think that the version of Swans' "Weakling" on Speed Trials (and early Swans in general) is quite powerful. Worth it for the drumming alone . . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6484644.post-1113242555164188532005-04-11T14:02:00.000-04:002005-04-11T14:02:00.000-04:00There's a whiff of garage in there too Eric, I thi...There's a whiff of garage in there too Eric, I think.
