The setlist: 

Black Sabbath are one of the best bands in the world..I cant think saying that scorpions are close enought to black sabbath!!!

I m not listening that type of music that time of my life, im a guy of (garage,punk surf psycho-rockabilly) music.

I stop talking about scorpions/...this discusion are not for scorpion i just say my opinion...:P

keep rcoking guys!!!

HA HA HA......But  ,  have you heard their first two albums? I was really surprised how good they were , like Black Sabbath with a bit of Pink Fairies Psychedelia thrown in. I do know , I did see Uli JoN ROTH ONCE , IT WAS SO wank! He had films of himself playing real fast , and he'd replicate what was in thE films perfectly. WOW, man !

yep, sorry John! i know you understand a bit german BUT if you would understand more you won´t like them, as well! :P

HA HA HA! Here I am defending early Scorpions
(As in ca. 1972.), and you've already shot 'em down , beforehand. Well done. : )

U2 is a BAND?!  Kidding.....sort of.

I don't blame you at all for hating the Scorpions , BUT , if you like aggressive , somewhat trippy , early 70's Hard Rock at all , you could do a lot worse than the first two Scorpions albums. They sound NOTHING like what they went on to become.

not songs...Bands : U2 and scorpions!!!!

It's sublime , but creepy......They were one of the first to popularize acoustic music , again.

YEARS AGO , A FRIEND OF MINE HAD DEVELOPED A METHAMPHETAMINE HABIT . HE GOT FREE OF IT , BUT , HE COULD'NT AFFORD MEDICAL ASSISTANCE , SO HE HAD TO DRY OUT ON HIS OWN. HE WAS DELIVERING PIZZAS. WHAT MADE HIM MAD WAS ,HE'D GO TO ALL THESE FRAT BOY'S HOUSES , AND THEY'D ALL BE PLAYING WHATEVER THE FEMMES' RECORD WAS THEN , DOCUMENTING THE SINGER'S WITHDRAWAL FROM DOPE. IT MADE MY FRIEND MAD , BECAUSE HE HAD TO HEAR ABOUT A GUY WHO COULD AFFORD GOOD MEDICAL CARE , ALL THE TIME , AND HE HAD TO DO IT , COLD TURKEY.

You mean , Anus Presley , who used to guest with The Butthole Surfers , or someone else?

Not the Butthole's.  This guy is sort of like 'Hasil Adkins meets The Legendary Stardust Cowboy'  I don't know anything about him butt eye gots me 4 songs of his, cheers

Gotta give a shout for three guys I saw live recently

Scott H Biram

Honkeyfinger and Dave Arcari

Molly Gene One Whoaman Band plays some some pretty mean punk blues, worth checking out if you've not heard her before

You mean , Anus Presley , who used to guest with The Butthole Surfers , or someone else?

I had this macho hardass redneck jerkoff I was sharing a studio space with in school, I accidentally on purpose played "Revenge of Anus Presley" when he was in the room. He never came back. These others , I have'nt heard of. Good names , most of 'em. We had a big One Man Band FESTIVAL IN CHICAGO , ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO. There  were someting like 150 performers in several venues.

I love OMB's !!  here's a couple of links to a fella from N.Z.

Jawbone, Anus Presley, D-66, HonkeyFinger, El Zombie, Hollowbelly, Johnny Cancer, Junkpile Jimmy, o lendario chucrobillyman, Lone wolf one man band, Wasted Pido

Cheers

It's interesting......(Don't reveal the surprise ending!) , I like how it starts real understated , then the backward(?) guitar solo kicks in ! Some guy muttering something in English....

This is lovely. A few years old but Takako is a real Maverick when it comes to music, culture and influence. Enjoy

Yay -- I've been waiting for this -- the Green Circles' new track. Rather poppy, but it's fun. And for once, it's nice as an Aussie to hear songs about where I live. :D This is a post as an add-on to my much earlier post about the band from Adelaide. Melissa

For me it was the Ramones Surfin Bird. Once I'd heard that and knew it was a cover I had to source out the original and that led to nuggets and that was that. Hooked.

....Similarly , songs like "Psychotic Reaction" were a mystery for me , too. I first read about it in an article in your "Story of Pop" magazine.....But, I did'nt hear it on the radio for a couple of years. I saw a Liberty records COMP LP. It had The Ventures doing Batman , and The Count Five doing a song called "Psychotic Reaction"....I could'nt believe a song with a name like that could've been a hit ! I  saw this record at a pawn shop , and , even at their prices , I could'nt afford to take a chance on an album I might only like a couple of songs on......I ALSO SAW A SHEET MUSIC BOOK WITH PICS OF sAM tHe Sham and Count Five , around that time . THAT , I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT.

I think it was being into The Ramones and a lot of surf, early rock'n'roll and psychedelia. It was a natural progression from there, methinks. Really, it was a mutual friend of my dad & I telling me about the old garage and I was eager to hear his tales. When I heard about Psychotic Reaction by The Count Five, I started seeking it and I was hooked when I got a copy for my birthday in 2003.

Wow , I bought "Hanx" in '83 , I think. The pond was'nt exactly brimmin' with SLF records at the time , so , I grabbed it , not knowing it was a live album. Of course , I liked it, but , I was looking for the studio versions of those songs , which , hard as it may be to believe , took several years.  I am a bit tired of people raggin' on "Loco Live". Sorry about their favorite bands . Mine (Cramps ,Ramones , Fleshtones.) were in it for life, and doing just fine at the time . Good point about the later stuff. Plus , COME ON ! IT'S GOT "CARBONA , NOT GLUE"! I don't hold it above "It's Alive" ,but I've heard damn few live Ramones recordings that did'nt do it for me - Like "Greatest Hits , Live" and a show from '76 a friend taped me , it's good , they're just off....AND a tape I found for a dollar from the Milwaukee Summerfest, in '92 or '93. Again , it's not BAD , but they're playing way too fast , as Der Fuhrer commanded..... 

Maybe this is blasphemy but I'd put Loco Live above It's Alive. It's just that their later work sounds much better live, and if I want to hear their early stuff I'd rather put on one of their first five studio albums. Rock and Roll Holiday by the Oblivians is a really fun, wild record. The last half of Pagans' Shit Street! Stiff Little Fingers - Hanx. But the most insane one has to be Live In-Competence by the Zip Code Rapists (with Gregg Turkington from Neil Hamburger fame). Here you can see them doing a Black Flag cover: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UAWfEzo2g0.

Coincidentaly (Though I know there's another thread for it.) , Link Wray reportedly pulled a knife on John Cale at the 9:30 club in Washington, DC , around this time.....

Once , in Dallas , a fan showed up , backstage , at a John Cale show , with maybe 20 LPs , asking if Cale was around. A Roadie told him , Cale is'nt very sociable , but , if you leave your LPs and your Sharpee here , and  come back in about 20 minutes , I'll ask him to sign them for you.   What happened next is a valuable lesson.  The guy came back , and all his albums were signed (By the Roadie and a friend.) "HAVE A NICE PENIS , JOHN CALE". Later , I heard one of the records turned up at a used record store  with an $80 price tag.  IF this guy decieved the store owner , good on him .He was a prick.

BACK ON TRACK - I saw Link , once , it must have been 2002 or early 2003 , because he was talking about 9/11 , as it was somewhat recent , saying he wished he could have been here in the states with us when it happened. I told him , he WAS here with us. He said , "Yeah , in spirit , I was. BUT , WHAT WE NEED TO DO.....IS ROUND UP SOME OF MY SHAWNEE BROTHERS ....AND CUT THE TALIBAN'S MOTHERFUCKIN' HEADS OFF !!!!!". Then , HE STARTED TO sing "Ice People" from the "Link Wray" album on Polydor , which is a very quiet song , but has some very good lyrics about social and racial injustices. BUT , he could'nt do it...He'd get as far as the first verse , then go off ! - "CUT THE MOTHERFUCKIN' TALIBAN'S HEADS OFF AND BURY 'EM UNDER A TREE !!!!!'' . It's not a live album , but, it should have been.
