You should have told her you want to name your kids "Mott" or "Hoople," and after she shot those two suggestions down for being too weird, then you could have suggested "Ian" or "Hunter."  Anyway, that's cool that you wanted to do that.  I know a punk rock mother who named her son "Stiv" and her daughter "Ramona."

Both Ian Hunter and Michael Monroe play a fair selection of tunes from previous bands if the recent boots are anything to go by. Monroe's band sound awesome.

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'm a big fan of Ian Hunter and Mott the Hoople...AND I like Cleveland.

But I live in Portland, OR so I won't be at the show.

Carry on....

 

Columbus is the home town of one of my all time favorite bands, Manda and the Marbles:)

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

I think it's closer to a 50/50 split, rather than one or the other.

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?

the rock is coming back believe me son

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.

great record..

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?

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

nameless 6ts japanese guitar...most probably a teisco...
