About MEN & GODS

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor

An Audience with Men and Gods...... Men and Gods are fronted by Marc Eden - he of the heavily kohl-ringed eyes, tousled hair, discerning suit, fur coat and a cascade of scarves; looking like the unholy, but beautiful, union of T-Rex's Marc Bolan and Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett. Eden previously worked with ex-"Guns'n'Roses" members Slash, Duff McKagen and Matt Sorum (before they hooked up with vocalist Scott Weiland) in a musical venture named "The Project" that was soon to become the world-dominating "Velvet Revolver". Slash described Eden as "One of the greatest rock 'n' roll singers I have ever heard". Drummer Alric and Eden came together in DNA doll and have continued their working relationship for a decade now. Alric continues to work with the London Philharmonic Orchestra with installation music-to-art pieces for the Tate Modern adding new dimensions to the M&G sound. Bassist Minz was recommended by Guy Bailey - a close friend of Men & Gods and a co-founder of the early 90s platinum selling "Quireboys". On keys, Nadia Baki was suggested to Marc after he and Ariel Bender from the legendary "Mott The Hoople" had worked together. It's quite some pedigree! And so to the music of "Men and Gods" – what's it all about then? Main writer ME: Being at the end of your tether is where my music comes from. I imagine it's the same for just about all musicians – I can't think of any that are any good that have had an easy ride – maybe they exist but I don't think so... There is the apocryphal tale about selling your soul to the devil in order to succeed and to pursue your music above all – I think in its deepest origins it's like a Greek myth. I guess it's really just a metaphor for trying to balance the impossible elements in your life. From a musical point of view I've never been in any doubt – it's just been a shifting of emphasis from everything else..." And with those poignant words floating around my mind we retire to "Men and Gods" gig and I wonder if I'm about to watch a rock'n'roll band play or whether I'm actually about to participate in some sort of sacred ceremony – even if it is to be performed in the rather suspect environs of a rock club in King's Cross. Men and Gods take to the stage and begin practising their strange musical voodoo on the entranced crowd before them. Nadia Baki's Hammond organ surging and swelling on the rising tide of Eden's washes of guitar and melancholic beautiful vocals whilst the whole lot is underpinned by the pulsing groove of Minz and Alrick's rhythm section. The delivery is one of swirling sensitivity and at times the soundscapes that the band conjures are somewhat psychedelic but not wilfully so. Eden sings like a nightingale, a troubled, brooding, strung-out nightingale for sure, but a nightingale none the less. His guitar blends and dances with Nadia' keys to an extent that the sounds become a single spiralling entity. During "Deeper Sweeter" his imploring vocals give way to a wall of guitar beginning with a spastic bleeping sound akin to a heart-monitor before rising to a begging, weeping crescendo. It's powerful stuff and I am left significantly moved by what I've just born witness to...There is nothing like this band out there playing live at the moment, they really have to be seen to be believed. I suggest you do so humble reader while you can still see the whites of their (kohl ringed, troubled) eyes... Dale Hodgkinson. London. Feb '07.

Madeleine	Jul 17 2008 9:36 PM Mattie, did you get your homework done? ooops sorry wrong link. It's funny because I tried that one before, and it made me all mad because they sucked real bad, and they didn't pay too good either they offered like sw eepstakes and stuff instead of cash. But anyways, the right site is http://Beitris82539. blogspot. com it's the one I am making $6 5 0 a week with putting in about 23 hours a week, sometimes up to like 30 hours if I'm daydreaming. once you sign in do the ones on the first page, they pay the most. I got paid like sevent five bucks today for about 20 minutes work:) You'll see what I'm talking about when you get in there. Nona started taking them too and she's making $ 800 a we ek, it's making me so ma d because I'm the one that showed her which one to sign up with now she's making more than me. hey me and Renee are getting ready to leave now, just give me a call or I'll catch you on here and let me know if you have any problems with your membership. speak soon U73028644
Dark Lörd of Barnet	Jul 16 2008 7:03 PM I enjoyed your set at Tommy Flynn's last night - it's great to watch some excellent musicians who obviously really enjoy playing together!
Dark Lörd of Barnet	Jun 30 2008 10:58 PM Good one at the Purple Turtle tonight - in spite of the technical problems. Nice to hear Nadia sing as well - more please!
Sallie	Jun 15 2008 2:21 AM Look sweetie, I'm sorry about that I must have passed you the improper one. That's weird because I tried that one a time ago likewise, the one I gave you, and it made me all angry because they sucked real bad, and they didn't pay too good either they handed outlike contests and stuff instead of cash. But well, the working site is U L T R A 1 2 . C O M it's the one I am making $550 a week with putting in about 23 hours a week, even up to like 40 hours if I'm bored. Once you get your membership make sure you sign up with with the companies on page one in the exclusive website because they are the ones that pay the big bucks, I got $50 for one that took me 50 minutes yesterday. You'll see what I'm rambling about when you start up. Jessica started taking them too and she's cashing $900 a week, it's making me so motivated because I'm the one that sshowed her which one to sign up with now she's making bigger money than me. So me and Jake are getting prepared to leave, just give me a call or I'll meet you on here and tell me if you have any troubles. TTYS hun

Jesse Andrew Ian LeBoutillier	Apr 14 2008 2:55 PM Everything Is Free Now, That’s What I Say The 3 most important discoveries in the history of man. The first was fire. The second is electricity. The most important of the 3 is one not many know about, not even yogis speak of it, that I have found. In fact I dont know that anyone really knows but me! Sounds like I'm high on myself, eh? Well that in a nutshell, is it! I hit the big score, I figured it out! I am here to show you how to turn on, and leave on drugs so powerful in your body they will transform your body into light. I learned to transform my itches, something that feels so bad, feel them and turn them into the opposite. If itches are a devil, that same devil turns to an angel when felt. This will make you cry sleep, burning white tears. I believe these are tears we cry for our past lives. We are just like survivors of abuse, we blocked out what killed us. We dont need to look at these past lives, just feel the pain of them and move on. I have been doing this for some time, harnessing this drug to my 3rd eye. As if I use hands from my mind, to make a metaphysical pony tail of energy. It grows with wild concentration. I have made a crown of thorns turn heavenly. It is as if Gods fingers are on my brow and around my head and temples. His palm is my crown at the top. I take up the energy from the top like a pony tail forming a laser beam. The more concentrated the further I reach out to the cosmos. This is the Universe chakra. This one I am working on, it is like balancing a table on a chair with my hand. I found different drugs in my heart, extacy much like MDMA in my back and more. I know, just like the drug in my 3rd eye, in time I will learn to turn the others on and keep them on. "This is it! This is mystical shit." So high, so nice. Ride the pony! Any questions? thanks for the requester I can hook you up! the jester
