    • Dead Boys Return Of The Living Dead Boys: Halloween Night 1986 Description: On Halloween (of course!) 1986 the gods of punk rock rose from the dead. The original members of the Dead Boys reformed for a short jaunt to pre-Disney NYC and leveled the audience of old heads, burnouts, prostitutes, junkies, geeks and freaks. This DVD is the document of that hallowed evening at the Ritz. Stiv Bators, Cheetah Chrome, Jimmy Zero, Jeff Magnum and Johnny Blitz got it together for one more show in their old stomping ground of New York City. Starting with an introduction from long time supporter Joey Ramone, to the power riff of the honest-to-god anthem "Sonic Reducer" (played twice!) to an unreal cover of the Stooges' "Search and Destroy," the Dead Boys put the boot to the notion that all reunions suck.

    • To my knowledge there wasn't any other record containing 'Sore Loser' except the Sympathy soundtrack and the 45 you mention...

    • I would ask him, but I don't have myspace... thanks though.

    • I have the Sore Loser 7", but I was wondering about the Sore Loser version that's on the Sore Losers soundtrack. Does that version only exist on the soundtrack, or was there a 7" or an album with that version as well? I can't find any listings, but I don't exactly know where to look other than Grunnen Rocks.

    • Is this the Spector biography that Richard Williams wrote? I know there's more than one Spector bio.

    • Have you read Ronnie Spector's autobiography (called, of course, BE MY BABY)? The most interesting parts of that one (I almost hate to say) concern Phil and his bizarre and abusive behavior. The DA's office could've saved themselves a lot of hassle (and probably won the case to boot) if they'd just given every member of the Clarkson jury a copy - none of the "revelations" about his violent and woman-hating ways was a huge surprise to me. Best part is when Phil finally relents to Ronnie's complaints about never getting to leave the house and buys her a car, which she is only allowed to drive on the condition that she's accompanied by either Phil himself or A BLOW-UP DOLL FASHIONED TO LOOK LIKE PHIL, which he's made special for just such and occasion and presents to her along with her new ride. Her initial enthusiasm is, to say the least, considerably dimmed.

    • Yeah I think it's Bill Haley. Although I would've guessed Little Richard just from listening to the Sonics version.

    • March 7, 2008 7:42 AM CST
    • Well, I think The Rockin Vickers did one (one of Lemmy's first bands...way before Motorhed), The Sonics (who I'd thought MIGHT be the original), and The Lyres. I hadn't even heard about these other 2 versions!

    • March 6, 2008 7:36 PM CST
    • The version Ive got is by Jimmie & the Rackets. What version do you have ?

    • March 13, 2008 11:43 AM CDT
    • As long as you can remember the structure and the words and be able teach them to other folks to play the way you want it sound, then you are doing what most Musicians do. There are no hard and fast rules.
      Pretty simple when you think about it.
      Keepa Rockin'!

    • That's interesting. I'm gonna try it out.

      How about D-D-D-D-A-B-D? Sound good?

    • Songwriting (Algebra) 101 (I tried to post this yesterday, but the site was "undergoing maintenance")

      Your Structural Key:

      A=verse
      B=chourus
      C=bridge
      D=other fucked up shit you wanna put in to your song!

      Mosta your basic music is Verse-Chourus-Verse stuff so that is

      A-B-A-B

      Then you have a bit more advanced structure when you want to link the first half of the song with the second that is called a Bridge, so that goes;

      A-B-A-B-C-A-B

      Then when you really wanna get advanced you can have a D section or Coda at the end (if you wanna fuck your head all up remembering all that structure)

      A-B-A-B-C-A-B-D

      You can use any permutation of this equasion and it should work as long as you keep your sections a uniform length (so be sure you have mastered counting the length of measures first!) It all becomes pretty formulaic after that.

      Good Luck!

    • Wow that's quite a story. I'd be pretty pissed if I sat on a needle. I think that's some good advice about the lyric book. I remember hearing or reading somewhere that you should write and then put the song in a jar for a few weeks or however long. That way you can evaluate what you've written with a fresh perspective. Of course I have no idea if that's really the way to go cause I haven't tried it. :)

    • Hey Jamie,

      My first song I made was kinda fucked up. You could say I was like really into The Stooges at the time so the lyrics were very simple. But the inspiration was from by ex band mate who sadly became a junkie. He happand to come by my work at one of those retail stores, you know K-Fart, to steal some shit to hock for junk. The thing is he somehow he got into my car to hide all his needles under my seat cover and unknown to me when I hop in to go to lunch i get fuckin pricked all over my ass with like 3 spikes! So I'm thinking great I got fuckin HIV now, fuck!!!...I ended up tossing his shit out and looking for him but couldnt find him. I was so pissed I ended up a this parents all worried and shit I got freakin aids and they tell me he does like to share needles and that hes been tested an all that. So I wrote a very depressing song about my mortality and how I'm gonna end his. The thing is...the song was very theraputic because I actually would never want to hurt the guy, he was my bandmate who I loved very much and I was very sad to see him and all my other bandmates lives disintergrate from the begining from their addiction. Ray where ever you are..stay up! Back to subject...I keep a lyric book and just keep writing. A lot of the shit I write pretty much sucks but every once in a while I suprise myself. It also helps because if you keep a lyric book there are certain phrases that can be interchangable with other songs you may develope in the future. Cut and paste foo!!
