For a cheap and cheerful good sounding fuzz I use a Danelectro french toast, .

I used to used a Dan Electreau Grilled Cheese but then I switched to this:

I like being able to control the amount of cheese to bread to signal ratio.

I recently purchased a Baja Custom Tone Bender. It's based on the early model type Tone Benders but with additional extras such as a 9v boss style jack & a kill control, which I'm thinking is the bias control, so you can nail that early 60's splatty maestro/drained battery/sliced cone type tone. Unfortunately it's still in transit :(. I've had a few fuzz pedals over the years, I seem to go back to my NYC Big Muff quite a lot, works well on most guitar amps and it's great fun to play slide with and nail that early Jack White tone.

I use a whole slew of pedals with tube amps mainly, my favorites are the good Old Big Muff and a pedal called the Static Egg made by a local guy, he actually used a sharpie to label it's plain sheet metal enclosure. The Egg gets the killer old school hollowed out fuzz and a thicker, meaner slightly more modern fuzz too. By tweaking the "static" knob it sounds like a ratted out speaker or a pedal that is seriouly broken, crackly even, in short I am in love LOL. Dan Electreau said:

oh my ... so many good-ones within that timeframe ... here's some of my favourites: "Pink Flag" (LP) 1977 - by the WIRE "Realities of War" (EP) 1980 - by Discharge "Inside My Brain" (LP) 1980 - by the Angry Samoans and of course, there's plenty more ... a year later (1981) came out some of the greatest stuff of bands like the Minor Threat, Black Flag, ...

Ramones 'Ramones' [1976]
Damned 'Damned Damned Damned' [1977]
Richard Hell & The Voidoids 'Blank Generation' [1977]
Pere Ubu 'The Modern Dance' [1978]
Chrome 'Alien Soundtracks' [1977? 78?]
The Fall 'Live At The Witch Trials' [1979]
Joy Division 'Unknown Pleasures' [1979]
The Pop Group 'Y' [1979]

Though not a popular choice these days, but I still enjoy Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols as well as the first Clash album (actually I like both UK and US versions) and the first 3 Ramones albums. Road To Ruin is OK but not really one of my favorites.

The Ramones Pleasant Dreams is '81 but it's definately one of my faves!

I will have to say fun house even though it's 1970

Stiff Little Fingers - Hanx!

Dead Boys.. love em' what about Cocksparer? Lubna Barracuda! said:

doubtless Dead Boys' "Young Loud and Snotty".

I'm currently switching between a 65RI Fender Twin Reverb & Hot Rod Deville. I use a Blues Junior for mostly home use. The Deville has a pretty sweet clean and the gain channel is decent, reverb is very sturdy too. I find my Twin takes pedals a lot better then the Deville, I've used a fuzz face reissue through all three and it sounds like a completely different beast through the Twin. I always prefered the NYC Big Muff but after plugging in that fuzz face holy shit. Obviously the Twin has the better reverb and the tremelo is nice but honestly, I don't think the cleans are THAT much better. Not for the price anyway. Luckily I got mine cheap and only ended up paying $500AUD more for the Twin. I'm contemplating buying a AC15/AC30 though for that invasion/60's garage type sound. Then I might buy a bassman, man you can never have too many amps !

You're gonna have to write the hosts. Google is of no help at all. They listed Minor Threat, Dag Nasty, and a group called Serious Drinking and some guy named Shihad. But none of them match what you're looking for.

Ahhhhh, probably, they're not a cover band! (Sorry!) They're recent Wire!!! Check out the comment. It's really hard to see. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOT_FGd7ASg&feature=related

Thanks, Dead Boy!
Still haven't discovered the cover band.
Tough one.

The song IS funny but I don't think it's ridiculous. Maybe it's ridiculous to think that's autobigraphical or something. I noticed while listening to the song that Metallica did a version so I had to hear that. Makes Metallica sound like the Mono Men for a sec there.

Hahaha I haven't heard that song in years.

You got to admit this is hilarious

Curious how they've been sounding....they're coming through portland this tuesday

The Stones could practically have their own anthology series of unreleased tunes that should have been released.

Sorry, but I kind of gave up on being the Paul Revere of my generation (running through the streets yelling what to look out for), since I could barely convert anybody. My only outlet these days is telling people on myspace since chances are friends there have similar tastes.

I was once referred to as the "party killer" because I would always try and get people to listen to mix cds and crap I would bring... usually against a lot of protest.

I don't have that problem anymore because I don't have any friends!

"Classic Rock" is the muzak of my work place too. It took me many years to work myself to a position in which I get to be the stereo nazi at work. I put up with 18 years of their crap, now it's pay back time. All kidding aside, I generally take it easy on them and try and play something I think they may be able to warm up to, but it appears that anything that they don't instantly recognize from their small radio playlist knowledge of music is unnerving for them. The only one at work who I've ever made a disc for is also one of the oldest at 63. He's given me some of his old LPs like the Standells, ? & Mysterians, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Leaves etc, so he had general decent taste in the 60's when he grew up.He has taken a liking to modern surf stuff like the Tiki Phantoms etc, he really likes the Detroit Cobras, recorded a disc of the Lyres at his request and lots of Ska, Rock Steady and early Reggae. He may not want a copy of everything I play, like Wau y Los Arrghs, Peyotes or Beat-Man's stuff, but he can give it a serious listen and not gripe about it like the others. He in turn turns it on to his grown children who generally are not into it. Outside of my jaded friends my main "mission" is my son who for being 15 has a pretty eclectic taste and knowledge of rock n roll of all eras. In actuality I've never pushed anything on him, I want him to develop his own tastes whatever that might be, but he's just developed a liking for it from hearing it all his life I guess. I actually get a kick out of hearing him play something he's discovered on his own or better yet something I've never heard.
