    • I have a documentary on VHS , BUT IT'S A STRAIGHT UP SCREAMING LORD SUTCH Bio . Joe Meek figures into the proceedings , of course , and there's some great home footage of Meek RECORDING THE SAVAGES (Probably also in this Meek/SutchBio.), but it's all about our Lord , which art in Heaven.

      I can't wait to check this out. I read Screaming Lord Sutch's biography and ever since I've wanted to learn more about Joe Meek. Phil Spector found the guy too eccentric, that's when you know you're really out there!

    • Have you tried posting them on Vimeo?

    • I've tried to upload them to my videos page but I can't, as they're on .flv format. I'm not a big expert on these things, exactly, hahahaha. Any suggestions?

    • It looks like it's not available anymore... Luckily I saved it, knowing many things disappear from Youtube at any moment due to licenses, rights or just because the will of the uploader. BUT the files are too big to be uploaded here, as they're 4 files between 38 and 65 MB, approx. I can only upload a maximum of 7 MB. If someone knows how can I upload them, I'll do it gladly.

      Long live Lord Sutch!

    • Whoa! that BC Rich reminds me of someone I know who is not cool at all....I'd have to concur!

    • I'm with you on this, BC Rich guitars were/are some ugly and uncool monstrosities.  The epitome of cheesy metal posery.

    • You know what... It's all good. Except some of the stuff Mick insisted on when he was in his 'dance' phase.

    • I definitely side with the Brian Jones camp. I love their early material, especially their pop songs - Blue Turns to Grey, I Am Waiting, Connection, I'm Free, Singer Not the Song. Jagger-Richards could write hooks just as solidly as Lennon-McCartney when they wanted to.

    • Yeah, some bands can do it, like The Gories or Hound Dog Taylor and the Houserockers.

      Normally I'm with ya, but there are exceptions.

    • Two of my favorite bands of all time had no bass: 

      Flat Duo Jets & Bantam Rooster

      Oblivians, too (they were a 3-piece, two guitars & drums, though).

      I'm sure I'm forgetting a few others, too (I always do).

      You can do without it just fine. 'Nuff said.

    • Call me a traditionalist but I dont want to go see a band with two people onstage with no Bass guitar. I'm a drummer myself and couldn't dream of wanting to create a rythym section with no throbbing pounding bass guitar there beside me.

      I just dont understand it?

      Your thoughts please.

    • this was making the rounds on facebook today too. Kickass video!

    • Check out The Wailers, contemporaries of The Sonics from the same region, Pacific Northwest. Also, The Music Machine and The Seeds. The Nuggets box set is a good place to start digging too.

      All the Chesterfield Kings-haters in the house will be disgusted with the release of the first 7" single by Greg "Stackhouse" Prevost, in a Blues vein similar to the sound of the "Drunk on Muddy Water" Cd from 20 years ago. Out now on Barcelona's Mean Disposition label, part of the Penniman records empire. Me, I'm delighted.

      First solo recordings by the man who fronted the Chesterfield Kings during the last…er…35 years! A lesson in raw blues which is bound to fascinate the toughest types in your neighborhood. It’s a pity that the recent de-luxe reissue of “Exile on Main Street” did not include an extra CD with the demos from the album, as these two waxings by Greg and his slide guitar would have fit like hand in glove. Limited edition of 450 copies.

    • My setup right now is:

      Fender Jaguar Special Edition HH >

      1968 Ampeg Scrambler >

      EHX Big Muff Germanium 4 >

      (sometimes) EHX LPB-1 >

      Fender Hot Rod Deluxe III w/ an Eminence Red, White & Blues speaker

      The Scrambler is usually only used on solos as a really filthy boost/ fuzz. Most everything else is the Big Muff. Some of the stuff that is on our (The Evil Eyes) 7" was done with an old Colorsound Supa-Tonebender and a 1968 Fender Princeton Reverb that was at Ghetto Recorders.
