ahh also that.. " This is the song where you use the cowbell asshole" fuckers..

British Glam

Thanks for the replies, Gents. I'm thinking that The Pistols were definitely inspired by The Ramones, but the more Sweet I listen to, well, it's like the guitar style is pure Pistols or rather, reverse that......

I think it was the Ramones and it might be documented in "End of the Century"

As much as people would like to believe that the Ramones kickstarted a whole movement when they played the Roundhouse in 1976,  I think British Glam was more an influence on the Pistols than anything American except maybe a few like the New York Dolls and the Modern Lovers.  British Mod played a big part in their sound as well.

Were The Pistols Influenced More By American Punk Or British Glam?

Yeah I have it on New Rose CD

I prefer Miami and The Las Vegas Story, but this album is still a great The Gun Club album.

Does anybody know why this album has different covers?

I have the original Ruby release. Worn to shit from playing constantly! I luv that record.

There are a lot of options over at Amazon and some pretty unbelievable prices as well!

I think they did, but I misspoke (that'll teach me to post again from work before going home to check the actual disc!); my copy is copyright 1993 Slash Records. Manufactured and marketed by PolyGram, blah blah blah, but on the spine it says Slash/London and the London logo is on it, too. So your guess is as good as mine.

I've got two copies, greedy huh?

Rhino did a reissue on CD? I'll have to track that down!

I too am a big fan of Hunter I reckon he has written some of the best songs about rock n roll ever.

If you get chance grab a copy of his book diary of a rock n roll star its a great read.

Check his tour schedule.  He may be coming to your town, or at least to one close enough to drive to.

I'd rather give props to the One Way Streets from Zanesville (close to Columbus), but I thought I could get a laugh out of you Mike

Hi.

"What A Way To Die" is a cover version of the Pleasure Seekers.  Here's the lyrics.

http://www.lyricsvip.com/The-Pleasure-Seekers/What-a-Way-to-Die-Lyrics.html

any one got any info on their gear?

i know guitars include a framus apollo in the early days and since then include a vox phantom and occasionaly a fender jaguar but what about amps, pedals, keys?

also any chords, tabs or lyrics (what a way to die would be much appreciated)

thanks :)

Oh, Okay... you're referring to vintage stuff.

Well first of all, in the 60's it was new – not vintage, but certainly not cheap... and nowadays, equipment from the 80's is considered vintage :)... so the surviving axes/amps (they haven't exactly multiplied) from the 60's are actually halfway antiques. I guess prices will reflect that.

yeah it just annoys me ,im 14 and english so all the good stuff is eithe too expensive or in america

I haven't seen this film in probably 25 years, and I'm dying to see it again. Anyone know where I can get a good quality copy of it on DVD?
