Yes,lot of memories,and it's gonna turn Garagepunk.com in another kind of network :D :D
Yes those years give birth to a lot of cool things..Who was a teenager at times surely had share them.
I loved all that HC/Thrash/crossover stuff;

Gang Green-Another wasted night
DRI-Dealing with it
Agnostic Front-Victims in pain
Minor Threat-Out of step
Dag Nasty-Can I say
Discharge-Hear nothing see nothing..
Accused-More fun than an open casket funeral
Attitude adjustment,Die Kreuzen,Dead Kennedys,Adrenakin OD.,Alice Donut,Tragic Mulatto,
Corrosion of Conformity,No means No,Circle jerks,Offenders..

and we can go on with such good bands.It sounded like a revolution and so it was.
Eighties were so boring,a young boy could'nt have good alternatives lookin in that contemporary.

I would never be able to sell my old metal stuff, even though I don't listen to most of it anymore (and some stuff is pretty embarrassing - the first five Manowar records or some Sodom or King Diamond stuff, for example...). But there's some real treasures in my old collection (even though most of it on CD, such as Carcass or Napalm Death). I also really love Gang Green, they started off as a punk band but had some metal moments, too. And the first two Metallica albums, of course.

I also think that "World Downfall" by Terrorizer is a cool Hard/Grindcore record, and "Stress Related" by the Righteous Pigs, one of my all time favourites.

And Freddi, you can download the first Cro-Mags legally on their HP, since it's pretty hard to get. It's totally worth it! And me, I gotta check out Crumbsucker.

Does anyone here like D.R.I.? I loved them when I was a kid, but now think they're pretty boring (except for some songs), because all their tracks are too long.

Man, this thread brings back memories...

I suggest you the first Crumbsuckers "Life of dreams" Max Reverb said:

I never heard of The Crumbsuckers but i picked up a 12" of theres a few days ago at goodwill! "beast on my back" very thrashy / crossover stuff.

"age of quarrel" has been suggested to me so many times I gotta check it out.



FREDDI said:

Oh yes,Cro-Mags with "The age of quarrel" were good too.
I would add S.O.D., Nuclear Assault,Suicidal Tendencies the first one,
Ludi-Christ,Crumbsuckers...
wow!!

"Masturbatory guitar work", haha, exactly! You can't say it any better!

I always loved these guitar solos which seem to have no structure at all, but still you always can say whether it's King or Hanneman playing. They always feel like some otherworldly noise, more like the screams of the damned in hell than guitars. But I like the brutal riffs better than the solos, they're so powerful, played with so much pressure. And Rick Rubin did a good job producing the album - clear, with loads of pressure, but still dirty as hell. Reminds me more of, say, the Cro-Mags than of other Metal acts (especially scandinavian Death Metal bands from end of the 80s, beginning of the 90s often had a pretty weak sound).

As you said: Slayer rules and leaves nothing more to be said.

I'm not a metalhead (can't stand the screaming, the guitar wanking, etc) and REALLY hated the crossover shit when good bands went metal (and my hometown scene suddenly filled with long hairs "moshing" and picking fights and being a punk was suddenly something to be ridiculed), but "Reign In Blood" RULES! That album came out the same day my dad and I finished building my half pipe (6' on one side, 9' on the other, 12 ft wide, 28 ft of flat, roll-in channel, blah blah blah... it was even in TWO issues of Thrasher!) and my best friend showed up that afternoon with "Reign In Blood" on cassette. That was some of the best skate music (that, "Earth AD", RKL and the first Suicidal album). I think that album contributed to my dad's ultimate destruction of the ramp - that and the fact that we sometimes had over 100 people, mostly underage, hanging out and drinking which pissed off the neighbors; Murphy's Law and JFA doing bong hits on our patio didn't make my dad real happy either!

Beat-man's old band The Monsters have some pretty metally moments. i'm a big fan of The Monsters and Beat-man. Gringo Starr said:

The Reverend Beat-Man is a total Metahead and a Slayer fan! Go figure!

Shit, Survive by Nuclear Assault was pretty much my favourite album for a while when I was a teenager. Funnily enough I never owned Reign in Blood, but I loved Hell Awaits.

Yes,I know Kreator,I owned their first LP "Pleasure to kill" I still got lots of vinyls of that era,and now that somes have reached collectors prices I'm tryng to sell them,since I don't listen anymore.(But Stones,Kinks,Yardbyrds,etc. bought in the same years will never get out of my home!!) I loved EXODUS-"Bonded by blood" too.I have seen them with Venom in 1984! Doc Sanchez said:

Oh yeah, Nuclear Assault. And Suicidal Tendencies - I really love them up to "The Art of Rebellion". Man, they were REALLY important for me back then. Another really, really great metal record is "Extreme Aggression" by the german band Kreator. I don't think they were ever that good again, this one is soooo hard and aggressive, you can really feel that the strings are made of steel...

Kill City fits the description of the music you wanna play on it.

I like the Kopp Out but of your choices, I like Kill City because you know what youre getting yourself into when you tune in. I associate Yard Sale with the more 60s and surf stuff just because that's what you are more likely to find at a yard sale. I think kids would kill their mom before they'd let their punk records show up at a yard sale. And Noise Annoys, I almost associate with this bad electronic band I once heard on myspace (even though they spelled it Noise Annoizze). That last one Perfect Assult sounds good too. I also remember you slipping and calling your show Savage Punk one time which was pretty good if you ask me. Sensory Overload could probably work.

Service Station

Kopper's Shed. It's very much an Australian thing but. It's all about what goes on out in the backyard. A small room in the garden where magic happens.

Kopper-- like I said on Facebook-- "The Kopp Out", but I am glad you are channeling your inner "Agent Orange/DRI" fandom. For the longest time I thought you'd been listening to 60s, R&B and "lowdown & dirty rock'n'roll since you were a wee one... (Just a joke)

I knew something was brewing lately, I just did! Well, I can't complain about you playing *your* type of music - BLAST AWAY! :) My vote goes to YARD SALE, that just sparks a lot of fun associations, in or around music and records! It also could help get the idea out that the music concept of the show puts all the different genres under one wrapper (...or in one record crate therefor), but don't take it from me. NOISE ANNOYS is second there, has a good catch to it, me thinks. Anyhow, I'm glad you found time to make another show! Looking forward to it and can't wait!

I've decided to retire the Savage Kick podcast and start a new one. Hell, Ryan Katastrophe can do it, why can't I? ;) It's been over a year since I did an episode of it, anyway. Time to start fresh and do something different. The show will be similar to Savage Kick, but I plan to drop most of the B-movie/TV sound bytes and samples (or at least keep them to a minimum) and stick to a barrage of unruly music. This is a show that I hope to get included on Real Punk Radio, too, so I plan on mixing it up a bit more than Savage Kick by playing some of my favorite old punk/hardcore, noise-punk and weird shit in addition to the garage-punk, surf, '60s, R&B and "lowdown & dirty rock'n'roll." So garage purists probably won't like it as much as some of the other shows here, but I don't care. I intend it to be a show featuring the music *I* like, so I might as well play what I like, right? I'm also planning on including a big chunk of "podsafe" music (stuff I find on Mevio's Music Alley), at least an entire set of that stuff every episode, if not more.

But, my new show needs a name! I've been trying to come up with a good name for it for a few days now and have some ideas, but am also welcoming any suggestions you guys might have. So post below if you have a good one. Here are the ones I've got on my short list so far:

Noise Annoys
Yard Sale
Kill City

I also had Rock'n'Roll Overdose on the list until I realized it was too much like Rock'n'Roll Suicide, so I scratched that one.

Cheers,
kopper

We're often running the mics through an old peavey guitar amp for distorted vocals, which is a rather good solution for bigger stages, but a feedback hell on smaller ones. You just have to mic that amp for the PA and hide it far enough anywhere in the back. Good idea with the old cheap mics, we'll try that for smaller venues, thanks

Thanks for the correction. Wholeheartedly agree. Really a mind blower, where the reality is crazier then most of the myths about the band. I wish it would have continued in more detail about Roky's solo career. I'm sure there's another books worth of material right there I'd love to read. I got to see Roky and the Explosives play webster hall in NYC a few years ago and it was totally amazing. They still had it, and I felt extremely lucky to get to see him play with his old band members that really knew how to play with him and get the most from him in terms making him feel comfortable. Roky and The Explosives Halloween! live 79-81 is one of my favorite cds and they still sounded just like that screaming guitar and everything. Even Roky took a guitar solo !

The 13th Floor Elevators are my favorite band ever and I've waited in anticipation for this book's release. AND, I tell ya, this book just blew me into the weeds, AMAZING!! The 13th Floor Elevators are the true pioneers of psychedelic music, whether you like that kind of music or not.

And if you think you have a hard time scoring grass to smoke these days, those boys had it REALLY rough!! Followed by cops, gigs getting busted, homes raided and the sheer fear and paranoia of being 'the next big thing' in their music scene. I truly loved the whole book, even as sad as their story gets toward the end of their career.

Julian Cope did a nice forward but all the writing credit goes to Paul Drummond. I've read hundreds of books about bands, songwriters, producers, music movements and this book is truly an amazing read written by a man who truly loved their music. Great work, well researched, and a must read for any fan of 60's music. ***** five stars out of five!

Anyone remember it? I have extremely thin memories of being a wee lad watching this show with my dad in north Jersey circa '84. Honestly my whole memory is hazy and I just remember getting a kick out of this crazy guy in a flannel suit and his goofy puppets. But I just checked the wiki and saw he had a ton of wild and diverse musical guests too! Everyone from the Ramones to Bon Jovi to Cyndi Lauper to the Dead Boys! Anyone have any stories about watchin' the Uncle Floyd Show?
