    • Maybe you've heard of , or seen , the book "'Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy" , about "Frequently" misheard lyrics , when maybe a half - dozen or so entries were ever heard that way by anyone other than the compilers , such as : 

      "There's a bathroom on the right" ("There's a bad moon on the rise").

      When I was in Junior High , "Miss You" was a big deal , even though I was about the only kid in my school who even liked The Stones.

      "I've been haulin' ass along" -  ("I've Been Holdin' out so long") ("ASS" was still a big deal in the 70's).
       
      The band , Le Roux, were briefly popular with "I'm Addicted".
      "I 'm a dickhead , baby"   ( "I'm addicted , baby."). There's no way they did'nt plan it that way.
       
      And , one could write a book on the Ramones (I already wrote an article...).
       
      "They're formin' in a straight ine , they're goin' to the car wash."  ("They're formin' in a straight line , they're goin' thru a tight line." )   ("Blitzkrieg Bop.").
       
      "Shot in Vietnam , I'm doin' fine"   ("Shock treatment , I'm doing fine.") ("Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment").
       
      "I Can't Give You Anything" ("You think I'm kind of cute , but , who's gonna bring home the ludes ?" ("...But , who'e gonna bring home the loot ?")  .
       
      "Hey , hey , hey , what is it on the TV ?" ("HEY , HEY , HEY , WHY IS IT ALWAYS THIS WAY ?". )    "Why Is It Always This Way?".
       
      Then there's ....."Final Solution" , Pere Ubu . "Don't need a cure , and I don't need a cure , and I don't need a cure , I need a final solution."     ("Don't need a car , and I don't need a job , and I don't need a girl , I need a final solution"....That said it all , for me , when I first heard it in my teens. Even if I was wrong.).
       
      Sex Pistols "New York" "An imitation made of Cheech and Chong."  ("..Cheese and chalk.")
                                        "You porno faggots"  ("You poor little faggots".).
       
      X - "Universal Corner"  "Scream in agony" ( "Screaming "Magdalene").
       
      "Nausea"    "Take this , this is all they had." ("Take the scissors , saw the head.").
       
      "Johnny Hit and Run Pauline"  "He bought a sterilized light bulb"  ("Sterilized Hypo" - That was'nt mine , that was on a lyric sheet for a band I was auditioning with.).
       
      You get the idea , let's see some of yours.

    • Does anyone know who this band is playing in the background? Sounds like The Buzzcocks, The Notsensibles and The Thought Criminals, but it's not them. It's an Aussie movie from '81 called Puberty Blues and most of the soundtrack is by Aussie groups/artists, so it may be an Aussie band. I've been lookin' for a while with no luck, so I decided to upload that specific scene in the hopes that someone online will know.

      Thanks!!

    • Your hearing can be affected by a lot of things. Do you smoke cigarettes or pot? Chances are your ear canals aren't draining properly. Had a really bad head cold lately? Your sinuses might still be really fucked up. There's environmental factors too, mold spores in the air can fuck up ear canals, allergies to animals, swimming all the time can cause issues. I get a lot of ear problems, I've had glue ear in my right ear for twenty odd years. I got a burst ear drum in my right ear a couple of months ago from a massive ear infection, It's only just coming right. Sometimes I get tinnitus so bad in my right ear I can't hear anything for a couple of seconds, if you can imagine what incredibly loud annoying feedback is like then your half way there. 

      You want my advice? Don't fuck around, get it checked for medical shit and buy some good quality earplugs to try to minimize any long term serious damage.

    • Thanks KK Dirty Money!

      Someone in my area's selling one, which is why I ask. I don't necessarily need the bass, but I thought it might work tone-wise with some surf tunes I play with a buddy. Or at the very least, it would look cool.

    • I owned a brand new short scale version of this guitar. It was great, but it is unlike your typical bass guitar and will be quite different from the two you already use. With that being said, it might be cool to have three different types of basses with a variety of tones, feel, weight, etc.

      This guitar is great for the cash, and cool looking if you like the style. It is light weight and has a unique tone. The tuning pegs are not heavier/larger ones like on most basses, for some unknown reason. So, that is pretty much the only thing I can complain about. 

      You can get these new for pretty cheap, and could probably find a used model at a steal.

      Plus, the cool thing about Danelectro guitars are they are generally considered "collectible" and hold their value better than a lot of other guitars (that aren't Fenders or Gibsons).

    • I'm looking for feedback on this Danelectro bass. Has anyone in the group here had the opportunity to use this model. How does it compare to other basses? What did you like/dislike about this model?

      I currently own a Thunderbird and a Fender vintage modified. 

      Thanks in advance!

    • This is a huge topic, as there are countless ways to get cool tone (and countless ways to get bad tone). I have a small collection of great tube amps, pedals, and even some modeling stuff that all sounds pretty damn good, so I could ramble on about this topic from various standpoints. 

      Now, I know we all probably agree that if we can afford a good tube amp, then we've gotten to a great place as far as getting good tone goes. So, one of the coolest discoveries I've come up with is using an Electro Harmonix Black Finger tube compressor pedal on your tube amp for garage crunch.

      A friend of mine was selling one really cheap, so I figured I'd buy it to try out and then flip it shortly afterwards to make a few extra bucks. But, once I started using it I fell in love with it. When using a tube compressor pedal with a tube amp, it not only compresses and gives you a fat tone, but it also gives you a naturally over-driven tube tone without actually using an overdrive pedal or switching to the drive channel on the amp. Very simple, very effective.

      What I'm trying to say is: you could have a tube amp on the clean channel, put the tube compressor on it, and you'll get a nice and punchy/solid tube overdrive that isn't too static-y or distorted and it really sounds good for garage style tone. 

      Try it out and let me know what you think.
