BURNING: TOO MUCH TOO SOON

A LITTLE HISTORY The

the title "too much too soon" to paraphrase the second LP of New York Dolls as the La Elipa ahead of his time as New York Dolls and like them and Mott The Hoople in the UK and BRAKAMAN in San Sebastian were the missing link between punk and glam but in the book written by the unfortunate Eduardo Haro Ibarra in 1975 entitled GAY ROCK when it came to the section did not mention either Spain or Brakaman Burning at a time when it was very difficult to record an album and rock musicians were seen as a "Pseudo criminals" that record execs had to expect in his office lest they soil their brand new carpet and as for the rock music scene in particular was in underdevelopment and the Law in Spain was a danger to society.

EARLY

the early 70's there in Madrid called the so-called "Rock Quarrel" or "Rock plateau" that was very different to that which is towards the periphery as in Andalusia, the Andalusian rock it was not anything other than rock symphonic airs and Catalonia, with rock rock catalá that mixed with Mediterranean and much virtuosity to the gallery while in the capital fortunately they did not think mixing the rock with Chotis as they did in the above regions with Sardana flamenco and
Madrid had something reminiscent of Detroit in the U.S. with some groups from working class neighborhoods that were rock in pure, unadulterated and there is where the essence of Burning out between groups as the first COZ, VOLUME, INDIANA, MOON, LIZARD ... bands from Vallecas, Carabanchel, o Elipa is precisely this area from where some primitive Burning ... BORN TO BE BAD


At first there was a group in the neighborhood of La Elipa whose name in English was "The Divine Pictures" something like "Divine Tables" of those times count, the late Pepe "Risi" Oriol Llop at No. 40 of STAR Magazine:
"In the early Seventies were a trio of Ernesto who then went on drums and Henry and I played guitar and sang, we did not go very well but we had fun, we had but since Divine Tables in English, singing in English but knew no English and we picked the first single words that occurred or that we knew and we were releasing one after another, it seemed like a mix of English and Russian, was actually rode too much like us " under the name The Divine Pictures give a single performance in the program
Encarna Sánchez "This is Spain lords. "
Then go into the group Antonio "Toño" who knew Pepe "Risi" of being in the same neighborhood and how to enter in the group had Pepe in the same STAR 40:
"One day we met at an inn started to drink I remember talking and went down to the basement and began to drop and throw wine barrels that had piled tables we all turned to dust, and suddenly I said that if he wanted to join the group and said yes, but best of all is Antonio was a football player if if happened around and left the game and bought a low Framus "
At first Antonio was the bassist but as if they could sing made him sing "Wight is Wight" became the lead singer of the band and passing it on to
Enrique whose nom de guerre was Quique "Lastrung" and then rented a little room to rehearse where they expelled the owner.
and pass the local test on the road PAPI Barajas, and then had his song "I'm Burning" which would name the group, the repertoire was songs were endorsed by the Rolling Stones and "Johnny B . good "by Chuck Berry
It then joins the group as keyboardist Johnny who was rehearsing with his band in local ZOVAX from across the street and who convinced him to go with them,
In this time were a group of GLAM ROCK England as were people like
SWEET, SLADE, GARY GLITTER and American
SUZY QUATRO although they were closer to other groups as were the FACES Glam Rod Stewart and Ron Wood, Lou Reed , the New York Dolls and Mott
addition HOOPLE Rythman veterans and Blues bands as
The Preety Things, the Animals and of course the Rolling Stones,
And two precursors as Bo Didley rock'n roll and as they say them:
"whore child CHUCK BERRY" in the old photos of Burning they can do with
silver platform boots like those of Gary Glitter or Kiss of those that wear them are staggering to the mountaineer most experienced and elephant leg pants and blonde wigs as an anecdote of that time remember Johnny in an interview that made the filmmaker Oscar Aibar published in the fanzine MONDO GROSS: "If the leader still in power was a gig in a town named Valencia de San Juan or something like that was a time when there was absolutely nothing, nor carry pipes, technical or came, you played, and I removed pirabas (and fucked if you could, in the van, because there was for hotels ), I remember that was the four o'clock, hard winter and the club owner and there were only a couple of policemen, but they had those old piece of layer and the cocked hat on the counter because they were taking some whiskeys.
We come and say "Well we have already loaded and wanted to charge if they are so nice."
The owner returns to picoleto and you loose "than the lad wants to charge, will have to pay" the agent replied "No, it is to see what hairs are. I seem a little queer" thing went rolling Antonio singer faced the picoleto, all just to type its gun and put it on the head saying "shut up and get out here it'll kill you motherfucker" ultimately did not charge, those were hard times for rock and roll "or remember Pepe Risi "and Oriol Antonio Llopis in an old number of the Star of 1978" I remember the first concert was taken in a nightclub called "Red Gold" was a disco superviolenta more than once from the stage I saw a stabbing type. "
In those 70 years as Madrid was told at first it was different from Catalonia with its "rock catalá" and southern Spain with his "Rock Andaluz", where the music breathe otherwise less pretentious airs pseudosinfónicos as a download in the manner of two cities like Detroit or New York bridging the gap of course, somehow call rage rock Madrid Cathedral
was the legendary concert hall M & M where Burning gave performances legendary, is in 1974 o1975 when they recorded their first single in English, since by then it was normal in this country, with the label MOVIEPLAY, by the time the record companies created their subsellosdiscográficos not stop soiling his good name, proof of which was frowned upon the rock in our skin of a bull, for example
The Belter had Ochre, Sapphire had had Movieplay Discochapa and Gong, La Elipa
enter for the first time in a study recording to get the songs "I'm Burning" and "Johnny B. Good "by Chuck Berry song that never stopped playing live remember that time keyboardist Johnny: "When you first enter into a recording studio was impressed with how big addition was a Hammond B3 organ of the host, amazed by the sound table they had.
had only seen in movies, at that time all the time listening to albums by the Rolling Stones and even got to ride a version of "Paranoid" from Black Sabbath.
also a bit of fags: Sweet, Slade and Gary Glitter.
was a time very glam and glam was part of our move, and we went out very painted the scene.
remember once going to act on M & M; the place was full and we had put the team on the side to make our own staging of "Sympathy for the Devil", but today we did not play because the cops came and stopped the concert. Then came into our dressing room and told us: "Well beyond what the fuck you play mariconas. You can not act and we had to breathlessness.
The presentation of their first single makes a sort of Eurovision rockerizada they did several radio stations in different countries, in Spain's national radio RNE organized and the name of the contest was "European Jury Pop", with bands already established like Sweet, Slade, Gary Glitter and T.

There is also a kind of prologue to Oriol Llopis in double single folder where it says: "They start warming up with" Honky Tonk Woman "just need to look like Johnny and Pepe" Risi "Toño jalean to understand instantly that here was a cross of faith: nearly spliced \u200b\u200bwith "Sympathy for the Devil", and then you see it clear. Because with a few twigs toiling in "Stonelandia" and the rascality of those born in the Burning Elipa were rolling something with character.
And Bill Wyman had cried discovering that a bass can sound axial.
"I'm Burning "is the following composition, the first signed and which were responsible for 100%.
