The Dolls symbolize punk rebelling against the "cheesy glam" of Slade? What the hell are they talking about?

Damn - I am actually considering subscribing to HBO just to see this,
even though I loathe Scorsese with a depth and breadth that's difficult to express.
But I love the Rolling Stones.

Had the pleasure to see the first episode yesterday. It's very good. James is a good actor and Vinyl is great. It's like a Scorsese movie, except you get more episodes. The dialogue is vintage Scorsese and it's such a great angle to have the industry people be the main characters instead of the rock stars. A great idea and the results are fantastic.

He's been wearing a wedding ring for awhile. Cool he kept it quiet.
Vinyl premiers here in CA on Valentine's Day night- sounds good to me :-)

Sounds disappointing, and the reviewer Jim Farber has some credibility :
"In the bad-rock-movie tradition, every character delivers each line with a sneering yelp because, one assumes, that’s so “rock ‘n’ roll.”'
&
"...it’s painful to watch actors play dress-up as stars like Robert Plant, Little Richard, and Lou Reed
(who’s seen in both a Velvet Underground ‘60s flashback and a ‘70s, zombified incarnation). It’s like a rock ‘n’ roll Halloween in hell".
Haven't seen it (don't have HBO), but am not holding my breath.

So, after all the great reviews this show has got so far, you wait for the first bad one..... and latch on to it!

yeah, it has recieved mixed reviews, but i think this show is at least as much about the business side of things as it is the music side- if not more. As many reviewers have said, the musical aspect of things is a well-trodden path- the interaction between artist and label are what I'm most excited about with Vinyl.Quote

There's been many bad reviews - this isn't the first one.
I was pointing out that the reviewer has credibility vs most of the critics who don't have a clue:
"I worked for Polygram in the early ‘80s, in a job writing all of their artists’ biographies.
I was also a staff writer for Circus magazine in the mid-‘70s during college. Which means if anyone was going to love this series, it would be me.
Believe me, I wish I did".
His opinion is more valid (imo) than some of the other professional movie/television critics who probably know less about music than you or I.
