Has anyone else ordered this? It's been getting quite a bit of press here locally (Columbus), but I'm not sure if this is just because it's the Turks' home town.

I liked the first album...can't remember the name..
Don't ask me about her...

Courtney Love: Love her, hate her?

 

I was never too wowed by her previous work, but the new album, Nobody's Daughter, sounds real good to me.

Here in Italy (as in any non-anglophone country I guess) one of the first question when startin a rock band,is "Which language we sing?"

 One point may be that if you want to be more authentic and realistic you'd better talk directly to ones who are listening to you and choose your own language so they can understand you.

Another point is that rock'n'roll ain't a typical italian product. Who plays it would like to intend it to its original source and it's not so much important if pronunciation or grammar are not completely correct (Ramones were them? The Zeros don't sing like Teengenerate,who cares?)

Now I'd like to know your other point of view and what's your favorite italian garage band,if you had one!

Thank you!

This is difficult. I have a better grasp of "the best" or "the coolest" than my own personal favorite. Some songs that I think are pretty near perfect are--
Lust For Life, Iggy Pop
Heartspark Dollarsign, Everclear
You Be Me, Replacements
Worker's Song, Dropkick Murphys

Money, That's What I Want. I have no question in my mind about that. Probably the Sonics' version.

Another vote for the Dead Boys, though I feel the Pagans are a close second with songs like "Shit Called Love" and "Not Now No Way".

I thought that pre Dead Boys "Frankenstein" release (Sympathy or Dionysus????) was pretty cool too.

The Pagans stuff is pretty cool but yeah, really gotta go with that Dead Boys album.

I didn't really know much about that scen until I read From the Velvets to the Voidoids 15 years ago. At that time, it was still hard to come by (except Dead Boys and Pere Ubu).

A friend of mine had Damaged on a lable called Roadracer and it tacked on Louie Louie on the end but I thought a different singer was on that.

I don't have that import version of Damaged, but I'd assume that'd be the version from the Louie Louie 7" that Dez Cadena sang on. He was my fave Flag singer, perhaps as he was the first one I had seen them with. Others have told me they prefer Keith Morris and Ron Reyes over Dez. Rollins was not a bad fit with the band the first year or so. I saw their first LA area gig with him after they came back from the tour in which they picked him up. I speculate that he had a desire to prove himself to the home town crowd. But once he became established in Flag it seemed to become the Henry Rollins Show as opposed to a Black Flag show. They kind of evolved into a "jam" band of sorts from that point to the end and lost that manic energy that had attracted such a rabid following. So I would say everything up to and including Damaged as well as the "Everything Went Black" double LP of demos is what I'd consider essential Black Flag material.

Hello! My band The Experiments just released our new album, that we recorded ourselves. You can find it at our website for free: http://theexperiments.com We used the following gear: We recorded in Pro Tools with a Project Mix I/O (8 channels) and 2 more channels though a ART DPS II into the Project Mix's ADAT in. We used the following mics (drums): Overheads: Oktava MK-012-01 (pair) Kick: AKG D112 Snare: Shure SM57 (under) Rack Tom R: Sennheiser e609 silver Rack Tom L: Audix f10 Floor Tom: AKG D11/XLR High Hat: CAD pencil condenser The snare we did under because no matter where we put it over, the drummer hit it with his stick. That's also a big reason we used the Sennheiser on the tom, it's low profile kept it from getting hit. In retrospect, I think miking the snare under gave us too thin a sound. The guitars we did in the same room (different day), with the Sennheiser on one speaker and a Shure SM-7b on another. Vocals were done in a bathroom with the Shure SM7b We're on a budget (who isn't) and that was the best we could afford.

Gibson sg 1961 reissue
A '79 peavey t-60
Hendrix signature dunlop crybaby
Proco rat
A mahalo ukulele
El degas acoustic
aria classical guitar
A marshall microstack 2 watts
Fender squier olympic white strat
I think these are all

I had the same double take moment this weekend! What the hell??!?!?!!!

I keep preaching, but there is absolutely NO LUCK. My friends just give me a hard time for liking some obscure punk band from Texas or something along those lines. The jokes changes each week... But, I did get my soon to be wife to rock out to rockabilly with me!

...saying that "Star Wars" is for fucking squares didn't help.

I worked at a place last year that had quite a large crowd of twenty-somethings. None of the people in this age group were interested in "music" at all. They were all into video games and new big budget Hollywood movies that were loaded with digital effects. I hung out by myself. They all thought that I was stuck-up but the fact of the matter is I didn't have anything to talk with them about outside of the jobs we were doing. When Michael Jackson died and I declared him "a baby-fucker", that was it. I went to being lower than snake shit.

Blank Generation, Never Mind the Bollocks, In the City, Radios Appear, Marquee Moon, Inflammable Material

Damned Damned Damned !!! Definitively !

Did anyone mention "Crossing the red sea with The Adverts" ???

"Inflammable material" by Stiff Little Fingers saved my stupid life too !

And most of the records that have been mentioned here (except Patti Smith of course !) ...

What about being back again now ???

Hey i would like to hear your opinions about amp settings to get the sound of some bands.
Stooges
Ramones
Siouxie
Black Flag
Clash
and the sound of clapton while he was in Cream.
If you have got close to these sounds please tell me what you did.

FENDER FENDER FENDER.I use a fender frontman 212 r.I use it in my house,can carry it to the studio and i have even used it in a gig.It's pretty cheap and awesome.but i guess that's not what you are lookin' for.

I can help you find bands if you come in crete.My band can open up too.But i don't think that it's in your plans visiting our island.

I haven't seen them for about 2 years but the last few times I did catch them they were so bad ass. If they were coming to Denver I wouldn't miss them.....
