    • I come from their hometown of Portland, OR and I'll tell ya: they're legends around those parts. Their first album "In The Graveyard" is probly my favorite, and their version of Parchman Farm blows the original out of the water. For the sake of completeness, you may want to check out Fred Cole's current band Pierced Arrows - they're a little more toned down & singer/songwriter-ish compared to Dead Moon, but still great lo-fi blues rock.

    • I'm a fan. 

       

      There's a documentary about them  I got from Netflix a few years ago. here's the trailer:

       

       

       

       

      Fred and Toody have been playing in a new band called Pierced Arrows that sounds just like Dead Moon (basically just changed drummers) They have a couple of albums out.

    • Any fans here of 80's DIY garage rockers Dead Moon?  I never knew anything about them until their early LP's began to be re-released, which led me to come across their 'Defiance' LP at a record store a few years back, I just felt a good vibe about them so I picked it up.  I was blown away and have been a huge fan ever since.

    • I have a hard time saying I hate any band at this point. I just feel a lot of indifference...but I feel that for 95% of most music anyways. To say "I dislike Coldplay" or "i dislike Nickelback" just feels like a waste of a breath.

       

      In high school though, I REALLY hated At The Drive In, Choke, Propaghandi, and most of what my friends referred to as "technical new school punk".  I never got stuff like Pennywise, Nofx, and all that skate punk stuff.

       

      Oh, and in terms of "bands I really want to like, but just don't"...TURBONEGRO. I feel like I should love them, but I just find them really boring.

       

      Regarding Green Day...I completely understand someone disliking the fans/bands they spawned, and I understand being irritated by the band members themselves...especially in the mid 90's.

      But if someone likes the Undertones, Buzzcocks, Pointed Sticks, Ramones, Etc.....I find it strange that they wouldn't be able to find something to enjoy from one of Green Days first four albums.

    • Oh man, there is too many bands I could add to that list:

       

      Oasis

      U2

      Coldplay

      Good Charlotte

      Kings of Leon

      30 Seconds to Mars

      Greenday

      Bush

      Pearl Jam

       

      Off the tip of my brain.  If we did a 50 most hated bands we'd still have a problem trimming things down to the magic number.

    • August 12, 2013 12:42 PM CDT
    • Yeah, Pennywise sucks, too. In fact, they're probably worse cuz they just ripped off NOFX.

    • August 12, 2013 12:36 PM CDT
    • I'm not crazy about Green Day, but they have a sentimental place in my heart because that's the first concert I took my son to that he actually wanted to see. i have a picture of us right after the show and the look on his face was priceless. (That was about 10 years ago. His tastes have improved.)


      Just curious about NOFX. I barely remember them, but they seemed to be part of a whole slew of rather bland, generic mid-90s punk acts. Were they that much worse than Pennywise?


      As for me, I hate Josie & The Pussycats. They just ripped off The Archies. You didn't hear Wislon Pickett covering any Josie songs.

    • Here's a great conversation starter! Try it at your next party!

       

      First, read this:

      http://www.salon.com/2013/08/10/15_most_hated_bands_of_last_30_years/

       

      As a friend of mine said, unfortunately, the Eagles are too old/early to be on this list.

       

      But I will gladly add U2 and NOFX. Oh, and Green Day. Thank you. Thank you very much.

      HOW THE BEATLES DESTROYED ROCK'N'ROLL

      Great read.

       

      Thanks, I'm going to have to read that!

       

      The age old argument, are the Beatles much kop?  I haven't got much of a problem with them, they were my entrance into 60's music a number of years ago but I soon discovered the Kinks and they've been left behind.

       

      I think for a lot of people (including myself) the problem with the Beatles is that they are over rated, for many they are the beginning and end of 60's music, throw in the over exposure and saturation of their music and I can find them tiring.  I've heard enough Beatles music to never need to listen to any more.

       

      But for those who love garage rock the commercial sound of the Beatles just isn't aimed at us, so I don't see a problem wiht them.  I recently went through my parent's old record collection and pulled out the Beatles 'Rock n' Roll' music LP, their covers of Roll over Beethoven, Long, Tall Sally and Money just lacked that raw edge of rock n roll music, they were rock n roll classic smoothed over to appeal to their fans.  It showed me that the Beatles were just a rock n roll influenced pop band, they came in at the right time with the right sound and image to become gigantic.  But I think many of us have liked or still like a few of their tracks.

    • San Diego band, only know them from the reissues. Did meet one of them at a Rezillos gig in San Diego this past year, but have yet to catch their reunion thing. Sorry not much to add I guess.

    • Bob Reuter, a member of the Hideout and a long-time friend of mine from the St. Louis music scene died yesterday when he fell into an open elevator shaft as he was moving into a new apartment in a downtown loft. Here's a story on it in the Riverfront Times.

       

      Bob's excellent personal memoir, Tales of at Talking Dog, is available from Saint Louis Projects.

       

      In addition to being a great writer with the ability to recall amazing stories from his life, Bob was also an amazing local photographer who still used REAL FILM to document the gritty underbelly of Bob's South St. Louis home, rock'n'roll scene, and all the amazing and interesting characters in his life.

       

      He had a radio show called Bob's Scratchy Records on KDHX and was a big fan of my old show on that same station, The Wayback Machine. Bob was still doing his show when he died, and you can listen to the last two episodes on KDHX's website here.

       

      Bob was a long-time musician on the St. Louis scene, and one of his first bands was the great Dinosaurs, who put out a fantastic 7" single in the late '70s with "Rock and Roll Moron" and "It Might Be Rose." You can hear "Rock and Roll Moron" on this episode of my old podcast, Savage Kick. They also released a posthumous LP, also recorded in the late '70s, that was released about a year about by Big Muddy Records and that you can download for free here. More of his music can be downloaded here. His latest band, Alley Ghost, has a Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/alleyghost

       

      Watch this: Bob in action with Alley Ghost!

       

      http://youtu.be/Go1rd_IKlv0

       

      This is a sad and tragic loss for the local music and arts scene. He will be missed by many, inside and outside St. Louis. Rest in peace, Bob.

    •  iNTERESTING. I COULD'NT READ IT ALL. IT'S VERY LATE , HERE....MY EYES ARE SHOT.

      IT'S ALWAYS INTERESTING , BUT , DEMORALIZING  ,TO READ ABOUT OTHER ARTISTS WHO ARE SUCCESSFUL DOING WHAT THEY DAMN WELL PLEASE. BUT ,HE'S VERY DEDICATED , SO MORE POWER TO HIM...... i SAW JACKIE AND THE CEDRICS ONCE, ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO. THEY WERE FRICKIN' NUTS ! GOOD SHOW. IT WAS AT  A CLUB THAT DID'NT EVEN HAVE A LICENSE TO CHARGE MONEY FOR LIVE MUSIC ( IN CHICAGO , CLUBS NEED LICENSES TO HAVE RUNNING WATER AND FIRE EXITS !  IT'S SO CORRUPT. ) , SO THEY HAD A MASON JAR WHEN YOU WALKED IN , AND YOU "MADE A DONATION".

      MEXICAN WRESTLING IS REALLY BIG IN JAPAN . THEIR WRESTLING STYLE IS SIMILAR TO THAT OF THE JAPANESE , SO EACH COUNTRY SENDS WRESTLERS TO THE

      OTHER COUNTRY , AND VICE - VERSA , ON AN EXCHANGE PROGRAM. THERE WAS A SUPERHERO ON TV IN THE 90'S , IN JAPAN , HE WORE A MEXICAN WRESTLING MASK , AND WRESTLED WHEN HE WAS'NT FIGHTING CRIME , JUST LIKE SANTO, BLUE DEMON , MIL MASCARAS , ETC.

    •  Chicago. I'm sure there were a lot of Skid Marx , like there were a lot of Johnny Vomits (OR , in Dallas , Mikey/Mitey Vomit.). You think of someone calling himself Skid Marx , you expect a GG ALLIN , BOBBY sOXX OR BLOODY MESS TYPE . nOT THIS GUY.....

    • "Dark Part of My Mind" is a great track , but, do you not also like "Gimme Gimme Good Lovin'" ? I know the album was mostly recorded by studio hacks , NOT The Crazy Elephant. That album seems to be a bit of a rarity. I've only seen it once.

      I like the other songs on "Inna Gadda Da Vida" , though , admittedly , the lyrics often sound dated."Termination" , I think, is a great song. It sounds liek a drug song , but , it's about the legend of The Lorelies (sic). "Are You Happy' has phenomenal drumming on it , with guitar and keyboards in overdrive. "My Mirage" is actually about the death of a friend. It makes more sense , knowing that , Doug Ingle said he wrote it while trying to paint a picture of his late friend on his wall......But , of course , none of this is for everyone. "mOST aNYTHING tHAT yOU wANT , gIRL" INCORPORATES THE SAME INFLUENCE OF tHE cATHOLIC cHURCH  AS "iNNA gADDA dA VIDA" , WITHSIMILAR HEAVY RIFFAGE. SURE "VIDA" IS THE BEST , BUT I STILL LIKE THE OTHE R, SHORTER , NUMBERS , TOO. When I saw them, in '96 , they did a few of them , and they sounded great.
