Did Toyota get some silver? Did it get a little gold? What did it get, to keep the Camry Solara Convertible from the Gallows Pole*? According to Steve St. Angelo, president of Toyota's Kentucky operations and of no relation to Robert Plant, Toyota got a lot of grief from customers and dealers who didn't want to see the drop-top swinging from the Gallow's Pole. The Hangman was supposed to come for

He really, really does. After taking the top spot on the NME "Cool List," for example, he decided he would get a "F**K the NME" tattoo. Logically, as that is what most people do when people, publications, and other entities annoy them. I have similar homages to Bank of America, Cingular Wireless, and Rolling Stone on various body parts, so it makes perfect sense to me.
Anyway, Frank did an interview with a UK Web site, and used the "f-word" enough times to make comedian Artie Lange blush.
Let's see:
"I went and did those f**king photos, but I didn't actually believe that they'd have the b*****ks to put it on there..."
And then it gets better:
F**k, yeah, of course I will. I've seen it both ways with that f**king magazine. If I got a 'F**k the NME' tattoo seriously, they'd probably put me in the 'Had it – lost it' list. You know, they'd be like '

Gallows, it would seem, are quite a big deal at the moment. Picked up by Warner and with a frontman sitting proudly atop the NME's not-at-all-worthless Cool List – 17 places above Brandon Flowers' moustache, incredibly - so vast quantities of Babycham were no doubt quaffed by the suits responsible for this union between the Watford band and Conor McNicholas' pet grime merchant, Lethal Bizzle.
But such self-satisfaction would be completely undeserved. Although their take (sorry, ‘2007 update') on The Ruts' original has become a live favourite, on record it's totally pointless. The normally captivating Frank Carter barks half-heartedly over a bog-standard replica of the original punk standard. Bizzle's awkward MCing, meanwhile, is similarly underwhelming, far from the intensity of ‘Forward Riddim' or his earlier work with More Fire Crew.
Longtime Gallows fans could be forgiven for finding all this hard to swallow. ‘Staring at the Rude Bois' sounds like a worrying re
GallowsGenre: Punk / RockFrom: Hertfordshire, London and South East United KingdomDischordant English Punk band Gallows, are probably one of the most talked about bands in the UK at the moment. If their press coverage over the last six months was placed end to end it would reach around the earth twice, probably (note this is not a scientific fact so please no emails), and yes the Devil's blog is usually reserved for bands that have not received the oxygen of publicity that they deserve. But Gallows are something a little special hence they've sneaked onto the Devil's blog. So what makes them special? Well for a start this is a band that has more attitude than a lorryful of preteens with Asbos, more passion than a teenage suicide pact, more anger than Henry Rollins at a Republican rally and a band on which everyone has an opinion. They claim to have formed with the sole intention of making music to piss people off and their blend of chaotic discord and viciously raging vocals certai
Ever Since Aug 3rd 1990 when SPC Allen ran out of the Sat Com and said the 82nd was Deploying to Saudi and we spent the rest night on duty talking about Nostradamus and the beginning of WW III. With that started a long 14 months or so for me and my buddies at the 21st USAFAD in Corlu,Turkey.Before then.......
