Yeah so I was just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on him.
Personally, I believe that he was murdered (after watching 'Kurt and Courtney' which I really do recommend. It's a great movie) But yeah I mean I just don't think that he would have committed suicide. Even though he was fairly depressed at the time. It's just that everything doesn't add up. But hey, That's just my opinion I guess (:

* By the way, I love Nirvana! <3

Haha yeah I agree; I love this site (:

Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles (:

Hi Dave, If you in Europe you be pleased to know you can catch Cyril and Roy live in London on Sunday 24 April @ Le Beat Bespoke 7, cheers Rob

Detect a pattern here? Last time they played in Canada was 1978 and i didn't go to see them as i wasn't a huge fan. Now that i'm older (but definitely not wiser) and a HUGE fan of The Groovies AND Roy and Cyril are out doing shows, i gotta see them!! A-Bones are the perfect back up bands as Mirian was the Prez of The Flamin' Groovies fanclub for many years.

I did get to see Magic Christian (Cyril's new combo) about 2 years ago and that just whet my appetite even more for a real Flamin' Groovies show!!

Roy Loney's in Cleveland Friday@the ballroom.

The BACK FROM THE GRAVE compilations!

Ramones-Rocket to Russia, Fuck Yeah!

Try Elixir, they are twice as much as most strings but they last four times as long, you do the math.

I've made tapes for my girl in the past and I've used up my favourite songs.  Mind posting some of your favourite love songs?  It'll help me get laid.

Goggle "live music venues" in each city and see who's playing, that would be a good start. Remember to add "garage" in your search, it will help narrow it down to rock and roll clubs.

I've never been to Chicago or Austin, but San Francisco has a great garage scene. Home of The Mummies, The Phantom Surfers, The Flakes, The Trashwomen, The LaTeenos, The Teutonics (via Germany), Larry & the Angriest Generation, Supercharger, The Ogres, The Del Lames, The Swiss Family Skiers, C'mon Everybody, etc.

Don't move to LA. LA's non-existant scene sucks.

You know that song that the Lyres and the Swingin' Neckbreakers did?  It was on the Sleazefest album.  Who wrote that/did it originally?  I'm doing a sequel to my "60 minutes of Shakin' Action" mix tape and that needs to go on there.

Just watched a brilliant Japanese movie called Fish Story, do yourselves a favour and see it if you haven't already. Great story with a fine punk song that ties the whole film together.

For some reason, I couldn't do it at the moment, and I don't know why.  Yes, I do know about the feature that allows you to correct your mistakes.

I can't seem to find anything at the moment, probably because the band has been defunct for a while.  There is another band out there who call themselves the Purrs.

I saw them years ago at the 31st Street Pub here in Pittsburgh, PA, and I liked them.  I bought their EP on Garage Pop Records, and while it had some good songs, I thought it sounded way to bassy.

BTW, I've been listening to stuff that I haven't touched in a while, so I will be asking these questions just out of curiosity.

About six months ago, I picked up an amp that I never knew existed and have been in love ever since. The amp is a Peavey Blues Classic from around 1990. This is pretty much the same as the Peavey Classic 50 from the time period but has a single 15" speaker in it, rather than the four 10" speakers. First of all, I only paid 200 for the amp. That price alone would make any tube amp sound good to me. On top of that, it has all the qualities of that great Fender sound but the fifteen inch speaker really beefs up things quite a bit. I would compare the tone to a cross between a late 50's Bassman and a Twin Reverb. This amp, combined with an Ibanez Tube screamer and the Boss FRF-1 reverb pedal, really gives me an amazing and dirty surf tone that I had long been searching for within my price range.

The Parents - "British Swingers"

They've been sending out individual tracks for anyone who asks to listen to, but the full-length has yet to be released. Amazing UK band, first heard them on Lord Muck's Nasty Grind podcast.

Okay...I would probably include the SATAN'S RATS retrospective...If we include bands that were active in the late 70s, but did not record until early 80's, I would include THEE UNDERTAKERS too.

I see know reason not to include bands from the era who had lps of unreleased stuff come out afterwards especially groups who put out an ep or two back then.

Greg McDeath said:

I thought this was limited to bands that actually put out LPs in the 70s? If this includes posthumous LPs...I would say the CONTROLLERS "Another Sunny Day", but I'm partial....

You just love those dirty band names I can see.
