    •  I hate to admit , I never really followed him  , because the local Rockabilly chicks dig him so well. Generally , I don't share their opinions on latter - day Rock / Blues / Billy acts.

      This takes absolutely NOTHING away from the sadness of his passing , please understand me when I say that . It's humbling to think that an Artist , or anyone for that matter , had to be taken so early in life. There is no rhyme or reason , the way I see it.  

      Danny Amis , however , is an inspiration to anyone who may think that it's hopeless.

      It is'nt , but , it affects others in different way. Again , no rhyme or reason , except that we WILL see more people kick Cancer flat on it's ass in the future. Believe what you may , but , please believe that.

    • All the bands I was going to mention from Scotland are on Kopper's list! The Thanes, Les Bof! Los Tentakills (of whom Al Hotchkiss is a part), Creeping Ivies and Acid Fascists (although they've currently mutated into Geek Maggot Bingo). They're all good; we've played with all of them!

    • Yeah, nice version of 'Summer Wine'. I had to google Siw Malmkvist to find out who she is, turns out she'd sone a version of Nick Cave'n'Kylie's 'Where The Wild Roses Grow' but I haven't found it on the net yet.

    • Yes, you´re right! Even the recording with Suzi Jane Hokum sounds great! 

      I guess it´s her (some years later?) on video, at least looks like..

      Your welcome! It's one of my all-time faves, you just can't beat the combination of Lee'n'Nancy's voices, or Lee Hazlewood's production. My wife has an original Nancy Sinatra LP from the 60s, it weighs a ton, and, apart from the songs, the sound of it is absolutely amazing.

      If you're any kind of a fan of Lee Hazlewood, then Ace put out a CD of his stuff on MGM, which includes a demo of Summer Wine with the delightfully named Suzi Jane Hokum sing Nancy's part.

    • Don´t know the Everly Brothers that much... Does one of you guys has a special song for me? Found this one, i like:

      I was at a loss to mention anything that is NOT The Everly Bros. , but , that does'nt mean I don't have other favorite duets or vocal duos.

    • I was gonna throw my two cents in here but it seems to already be pretty well covered.

    • I remembered seeing this a long time ago. And I still agree. It was weird hearing "What Do I GET" OR "Blitzkrieg Bop" in a beer commercial the first time , but, so what?
       Punk Rock does'nt pay old age pension , much less , Medical insurance, so , if those people who were fortunate enough to not be Dee Dee , Joey and Johnny Ramone and drop off and die when the checks started coming in , and are making some of the money their labels and publishers denied them , I can handle hearing it in a commercial. It's about creative placement of songs , not enticing fans. How many people even know this stuff ? The average Joe knows a handfull of Ramones songs , but , The Stooges , the monks , or Link Wray? I don't think so. Most jockboys would'nt know what you were talking about if you mentioned "Rock'n'Roll Pt. 2", and they've heard it more times than we have .

      I hear The Clash , The Ramones , and Sweet in my local supermarket , now , and I don't have a problem with that.

      Selling out means changing your sound/vibe/look/ethos in order to please the masses and get more attention and make more money.

    • I think if a band can stay together for a long period of time it is making it. It says a lot about a band / group. It's hard to get 3,4,5 musicians to always agree 100% on everything. Even more so the longer they are together.

      To me selling out is when it becomes all about the money, and less about putting out good music. Please don't just toss an album out there with one damn good song and 7-8 other crappy songs for fill space.
