i started playing guitar first then got tired of looking for an organ player. so i bought one and learned some chords. it`s actually pretty easy. there is no "right way" just keep practicing. Lightning Boy said:

Thanks definately a great song, I'll try to get a feeling for that riff on the organ. Are there any organ players here in the group who started without any teacher/mentor?

Just found these- Alex Harvey band- Gamblin bar room blues.(1975)
The Meteors- In The Cards.(in heaven LP)
Jimi Hendrix- The stars that play with laughing sams dice.(b side to midnight lamp)
There must be loads>>>>>>>>>>>

Link Wray: Ace of Spades
Motörhead: Ace of Spades
Bantam Rooster - Deal Me In
ELO - Poker
Ned Miller, George Jones, Elvis, or Ricky Van Shelton - From a Jack to a King

I'm with the idea of over driven amps... (though I've used big muffs for recording). Depending on how loud you are going to be, what kind of sound reinforcement there will be changes which amp is the most rockin' Best bang for the buck is a Supro Taurus, though Bassman 100's break up quick if you use the right cabinet, and if you have the money and need to get silly the original Ampeg SVT shit thumps and gets fuzzy.

I think most fuzz pedals (at least the new ones) sounds too much stoner/grunge/metal and lacks bottom. What kind of amps did the bassplayers use in the 60´s? I guess they didn´t have pedals, just overdriven (is that a word?) amps. Also, from what I´ve heard the new Big Muff isn´t as good as the old ones. Here´s a guy showing off the new Big Muff with a terrible riff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeCAJQcgeTA&annotation_id=annotation_256565&feature=iv

A-thank-ya to everyone fer the tips...that MXR M182 or Bass Big Muff...too many options...now I just gotta find one a these bad boys used or on the cheap.

I agree with The Clash and Ramones. All their albums of this era are great - I even cannot select which one of them is better.

But if to add the band no one mentioned here before (or I did not notice), I would pick Cock Sparrer's "Shock Troops". Although it is a little bit out of 76-80 range, I believe it can be deemed to belong to the same era. I love it as strong as The Clash's albums.

OK OK enough enough..... Introducing the best garage punk (yes it should be separated in this case) album of the 70's. Roll them drums...................

hi guys! Actually we have the fresh ones.

That's the stuff! It is Surf Creature You're a good man. Thank you Fuzzmeister said:

Do you mean The Surf Creature Vol.2 on Romulan?

If so, the Instromania website has the correct list here:
http://www.instromania.net/D2/ALB/ALB_T/The%20Surf%20Creature%20-%2...

He compares what's listed on the sleeve to the actual track listing, very useful.

You're on to something there. That would be a riot to see & hear. Really would like to see someothing like that happen. "Hey Tina! Please read this & oblige us." Lieutenant Cheeseliver said:

Heck yeah it is.
You know how some of the legends sort of can't carry on that torch many years after their prime?
Despite not getting completely gaga over her 80's and 90's material, she still keeps a strong pace going head to head with the more mainstream sounding stuff at the time. Stuff like "We Don't Need Another Hero" or "What's Love Got To Do With It" is pretty listenable and doesn't really make me cringe like some of the output of the veterans.


yeah, you're right... Tina probably gets away with it cause she's a very classy lady with a voice that could melt concrete! I just wonder what she could do with a contemporary r&r band, like what Mary Weiss did with the Oblivians, y'know...just put her with a backing band that's got some decent taste, and away from those E-Street Band type bands she sings with on Oprah Winfrey and the like..

I'd love to see her do some stripped back early 60s southern soul type of thing...She's still got a great voice & looks amazing!!

tsk! What good it is?!? It's Badass Badassess lowdown home, that's what! Welcome anyway...

There's some Billy Childish on there too

cheers for the heads up, thats really cool.
