In no particular order
The Fluid
The Gories
Hex Dispensers
It is the tyranny of distance that stopped me seeing these and many more bands.
Living in Australia we have great home grown bands, I mean I have lost count of the number of times I saw the HardOns for instance.
But so many great American and European bands never made it to our shores. :-(

Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles (:

Rob: I'm in London, Ontario, Canada....so it would be a bit of a drive...LOL
Rob Bailey said: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
whatwave dave said:1. Flamin' Groovies
2. Flamin' Groovies
3. Flamin' Groovies....
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!!

I always used GHS 010.
They're cheap and turn rusting without breaking.

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

I had a great amp at one time... back when I was briefly learning guitar. An Ampeg Reverberocket. I loved it... but since I never got serious about playing, I decided to sell it. But that thing had GREAT sound.
And it looked like this:
January 20, 2011 10:35 AM CST
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.

Mmmm :| Everyone seems to agree. But ...
I would definitely call the clash 'punk'. I mean they're one of the first bands I think of when I hear that word. Although I do agree with you on some points. But generally all of their songs can basically be put into the category of punk music. I mean I fought the law and white riot? *insert ear orgasm

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

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.
January 20, 2011 3:08 PM CST
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.

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.
