    • That's how I feel about The Last in general. Wilbert Harrsion did a pretty sharp version of Louie Louie on the "Let's Get Together" LP on Sue. Rockin Rod Strychnine said:

      I seem to recall this topic coming up once before... probably on the old GaragePunk Forums. Also, Black Flag's version of "Louie Louie" is one of my faves (the Last's and Kingsmen's versions are great, too), so I disagree that you'd only need the A-side of the comp. BTW, speaking of comps like this one, I have "Love That Louie - The Louie Louie Files" collection on Ace Records, and it's better:

      I was gonna say....

      Also, I think you can get Black Flag's version on 7 inch vinyl. Don't know about the Last's version. It's OK.

    • I'd like to be able to take credit for that, but I just googled some of the lyrics lol I think it's an error on the. pressing plant's part because I don't think Bitch even released an album on Rhino... so weird! Ken (Evil Empire Records) said:

      I don't know if it is or not... But I'm impressed you could recognize Bitch. I wouldn't be able to pick a Bitch song out of the crowd!

    • I bought this record over the weekend http://www.amazon.com/Best-Louie-Vol/dp/B0000032IJ/ref=pd_sim_m_1 except on vinyl LP not CD like the link. The track listing on my sleeve is:

      A
      LL - Rice University Marching Owl Band Band
      LL - Richard Berry
      LL- Rockin' Robin Roberts
      LL - The Sonics
      LL- The Sandpipers

      B
      LL - The Kingsmen
      LL - The Last
      LL - Black Flag
      LL - Les Dantz and his Orchestra
      The Hallelouie Chorus - The Impossibles

      The only problem is, side B of the record I have is all songs by the 80's heavy metal band Bitch!! What the hell?!

      Does anyone know if this was a common error on the pressing of this comp?

    • I got a used BOSS Blues Driver and a BD-2 mod kit form Monte Allum mods, and ended up with a real nice sounding fuzz type overdrive on the cheap. Modding the circuit board of a pedal requires a few tools and a little bit of electronics knowledge, but you can get a boutique quality pedal like the ones that cost hundreds for next to nothing.

      rocket 69 rocket 69
      blixa blista is a social disease
      the way it fits her makes a man out of me
      663 the home of the free

      shakin ass sucking gas i will smash guitars
      dont applaud im a god not a superstar
      i'm full of beer and i'm hung like a steer so come on baby climb on
      just give me something full of metal and steel
      makes me upset gets me wet makes me bleed
      we're on the air god if youre there send us a sign

      super cupid showed her stupid tattoos
      the head of elvis and it said born to lose
      and on her ass there were a couple of screws
      a screaming eagle a bottle of booze
      a kamikaze nazi countdown from mars
      a funny banging sound i found by hanging around in bars
      31 flavors and my favorite scars
      a suicide note i found in my coat

      (full of beer and i dont want to hear you honky honky tonk song)

    • Thank you,glad you enjoyed it! Cheers! RoknRolUSA said:

      Thanks Freddi---I didn't have near enough time to take in all those beautiful curves let alone hardware. Quick scan and I don't think I found one that I would hide under the bed. Again thanks for your time and effort. I shall return. If anyone reads this take a second to just say thanks to the people who up something you like, what's another 10seconds.

    • Not high on my list but a nice first pitch. A friend introduced me to Johnny Bolin(Black Oak Arkansa drummer) brother to Tommy Bolin the guitarist. For those that might need a short background on Tommy, Jeff Beck said he was the most naturally gifted player he knew of. Anyway Johnny was eager to entertain because Glen Buxton (guitarist, founder of Alice Cooper Band) had come along with me. After Johnnies gig was over that night he invited us over, as I walk in his porch I see the speakers I lusted after back in 1975-ESS known for their pleated ribbon mid-tweets, hot shit then and $$ now). I told him the story and said he had a buyer if he ever wanted to sell them. He said I could have them for $150 "sold" as he opens the front door he tells me they were Tommy's-----instant boner---and that he was keeping the other two in the basement. So Tommy went quad in 75, as Glen and Johnny shoot it I'm thinkin SWEET, the buzz was killed several minutes later when Johnny said he wanted to think about it for a day or two. A related trivia nugget, when Richie Blackmore took time off from Deep Purple Tommy stepped in. The Purple's manager had been close to Jimi Hendrix and had his ring which he placed on Tommy's finger at his funeral.

    • 10 Years ago was after a Farfisa Professional and came across a Farfisa Compact via telephone to music store interstate. I knew nothing about the Compact at the time and thought it looked like a kids toy and sounded awful over the phone..so I passed it up..duh!!

      The asking price $150..A cheap compact ...priceless ..turning it down..bloody stupid!

    • Records, guitars,cars,girls and guys. If your like me those tough to forget "I was that close" memories of something special getting away are stuck like glue. Share the pain and maybe share a laugh. As Screamin Jay Hawkins said so wisely "Let it go, let go, let it go" from the song "Constipation Blues"

    • Real god of thunder sound!! Something similar did it Josh Homme in Kyuss stuff; he gets into a bass amp but I read somewhere he tunes all strings two steps below and drop the E string down to C

    • I play through a fender deluxe/hot rod 40w 12 inch then take a line from pre-amp out into an old trace elliot 7 band graphic 15 inch. This gives me a fat dirty sound with loads of bottom end. We don't have a bass player and at live shows folks always say 'who's triggering the bass lines'. The answer is there's no bass lines being triggered it all comes from my guitar sound. I use no effects pedals, it's pure and simple. All our recordings are done with this set up, no overdubs just one performance. I play drop D tuning and set the graphic up real heavy on the Trace Elliot.
