I bought the Cocksucker Blues lp at a record convention back when I was 15 or 16, when single discs were $5 and doubles were $10. The Stones owed one more single to their record company at the time(maybe Abcko?) and they could get out of their contract, so they gave them something vile and thoroughly unreleaseable..."Cocksucker Blues." Side One "Cocksucker Blues"; "Brown Sugar"(Eric Clapton on guitar and Al Kooper on french horn);"Jumping Jack Flash"; "Love in Vain"; "Sweet Virginia" Side Two "As Tears Go By"(in Italian); "Exile on Main St. Blues"; "You Can't Always Get What You Want"; "Midnight Rambler" ratoonie said:

there was a Bootleg ....out many years ago... called Cocksucker Blues....i've only heard about it .....someone please tell us about it!!!!!

Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heart Breaker) off of Goat's Head Soup is one of my many favorites. It seems like I'm relatively alone with this one, but it oozes trash to me.

stray Cat Bluees...... naughty song!!!

Probably not exactly my favorite, but an under-rated song is "Undercover of the Night"

"Gimme Shelter" OK. Just had to respond, in a bid for shameless self-promo. My wife and I co-wrote "Electrocute Your Cock." Great to see the Vom/A. Sams legacy thriving.

Rocks Off and Gimme Shelter. Kinda surprised no-one's mentioned Gimme Shelter yet, maybe it's only Scorsese that likes it.

Goin' Home gets me every time, it's a blues but it's different from all their and everyone else's songs

I recently saw Kieth Richards on TV.... he said "conection" was his favorite Stones tune........ Ithink it was off the album ......Aftermath.... Brian T. Kirchner said:

"Connection" has got to be my most fave and there's lotsa close seconds.

oops - i'm connected to my drummer's profile... doesn't matter! BALDO said:

Hi,

For practising and small gigs, I use a 100 Ampeg reclinable AMP (can't remember which one precisely). It's dead good but only if the venue's big, obviously you need to mic up or DI.

I also used to - before it got stolen backstage during a gig - have a presonus pre-amp (blue one with just two knobs gain and volume) - that works really well to give it a kick - increases definition as well as warming up the grain (dunno how that works in terms of logic, but that's the effect it seemed to have - eh)...

We play 60's garage and that's the amp I take on tour.

Hi,
We're looking at getting a bass amp to go with our 'quiet' garage/powerpop combo. The cheaper the better. After combing the net I still can't totally get my head around the wattage required for our needs - it looks like 100 is best but if I can get away with less please let me know.

Our drums are a cocktail kit - so very quiet compared to a normal kit and the guitar is through a 5w Valve through a 12" speaker - cranked and fuzzed it is a good match for the drums. The bass is an old soviet plank with weak pickups - probably will run it through a bass big muff.
Would 50W bass amp be too little for this situation?

Thanks!

I know that surf music doesn't generally have vocals, but the few surf punk bands I've heard seem to. I just wanted to see if anyone knows of any other surfpunk bands to check out....other than agent orange of course!:)

And Tom Waits on the radio the whole time. Perfection. ixnayray said:

Yeah, Mystery Train is a classic. Joe Strummer, Steve Buschemi and Screamin' Jay Hawkins in the same movie? You can't fail!

Alex Patton said:

It really did suck. The actor that played Curtis just mumbled a bunch and danced like Boris Karloff.
Joe Strummer was really good in Mystery Train though, especially love the scene where he shoots Rockets Redglare in the liquor store.

Here is an unheard version of a band I played in called The Get Lost (featuring Gerry Mohr of The Miracle Workers) doing our take of "Guess I'm Falling In Love "

"Guess I'm Falling In Love " is the B-side with "Get home girl" on the A-side. I think you can get it through Norton, as I think I saw this single for sale at the A-Bones merchandising table last year. I saw it also on the Crypt mailorder not long ago. Sometimes it comes out on eBay. If you want the easy way, get the A-Bones Cd compilation "Daddy wants a cold beer". "Guess I'm falling in love" is there, but not the A-side, which appears on the "Music minus five" album. Esgar acelerado said:

hei, how can i get my hands on that?...

A great version was also released by my old faves the A-Bones on a 7" (Bedrock, 1993), that was "recorded on cassette at rehearsal". No vocals, though.

Go Go dancers are getting pretty popular at the Continental Club in Austin, TX (there is one gal there that has super groove) and Freddie Steady Krc has a rockin' gal "Dangerous Dana" who really adds some serious energy to his shows and is authentic in dress and dance. All that said there was a dancer at the last Sons of Hercules show who was super foxy looking but couldn't dance - it was like she came from a strip club and only knew how to bend and shake - no art in that : (

Dont really Know what is rarer:....my friend had a copy of Fire on a 45.... Atlantic,......I've had 2 copys of the Clown-star album...... both were cut-outs & both were on Track...
has any of his stuff been re-issued on CD??????

I can't tell you how much Arthur Brown and that first album mean to me...THE CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN was one of the first 10 albums I ever bought as a kid. There was an article with great color pics of Arthur live in EYE magazine and the cool colorful cover of the LP and that was all my adolescent mind needed to invest my saved lunch money in what has to be the most psychedelic 60's rock record with no guitar on it. Vincent Crane was amazing and the weird strings and horns that pop in occasionally are really cool. Anybody else hear the rumor that Pete Townsend played the bass in a last minute time crunch? And does anybody else think that Deep Purple's Ian Gillian kinda ripped off Arthur's distintive screamin' technique? Which is rarer...the Atlantic issues or the Track issues?

Cool. I never seem to find anything like that when I'm searching for Go Go stuff. I did think though that you're supposed to put one hand over the eye when you do a Sammy Davis.

Most guys would find me crazy but I think 60s dancing just looks sexier than what passes on TV and movies today. Feet together, knees close together. But that's me.

The Hasil Adkins documentary, was that ever released? Hell, was it even ever finished?
