I love the dude's contribution to RNR, but having read every Stones article/book/biography I could get my grubby mitts on over the years the guy was a complete schmuck to everyone around him.  Plus he beat on women. Maybe deserving death is a bit harsh, I'll concede, but the universe has a way of taking out the trash.

He may have deserved it? How's that?

BRIAN JONES!!!! He may have deserved it...but, hey, Ruby Tuesday.

eh? really?

i don't really think much of him. overrated. nirvana's first album was alright i guess, but i could never understand the adoration for them or him.

i think a more important discussion would be "WAS BOBBY FULLER MURDERED?" or what about BRIAN JONES?

kurt cobain. pfft.

I think if I had never liked Nirvana so much I would not have heard songs like in the pines  and started searching for a grittier sound to listen to...I always liked the ramones and Pistols but Nirvana was my generation.  as far as  Kurt Cobain's death  I think the fucking drugs killed him.

Love being a signed up Republican and close friend of GW Bush worked closely on Cobain's demise, knowing full well that his future career would become the soundtrack to a Democrat victory. Bush was later advised by Love in 2001 on how to start a war with Afganistan and she said that the only solution would be to destroy the twin towers. All those drug addled benders and times in rehab were all just tricks. She was not loaded but just diverting attention every time a fellow rock band got too close to the mechanisms. John Lee from Feeder knew too much and so too was bumped off in 2002.

The Lurkers- I'll be there with you

The Lyres- I really want you right now

The seeds-girl i want you

The Real Kids - Common at Noon

Was thinking more along the lines of "When I Talk To Loretta" 

Although.......I want head till I'm dead

I got to meet the Buzzcocks. I was the photographer (and maybe a little bit more) for their opening band one year, and I got to steal a couple beers from their cooler when I was only sixteen. Then when We all later went to the after party on a rooftop in LA, I asked Steve Diggle for a cigarette and I was so drunk somehow everyone was blaming me for stealing his cigarettes after that....

They didn't offer that.  Maybe it's because our BBQ sauce in Seattle is generic and comes from the midwest.

Would love to meet the Mummies and the Woggles!  Did you let the Woggles baptize you in bbq sauce like they would at Sleazefast?

I've made friends with a lot of the early 90s bands like the Mummies and Makers, And Woggles but I thought it was cool meeting the Romantics a few years back.  A lot of musicians toured together promoting Camel Cigarettes, but it was people like Wayne Kramer, Peter Zaremba, and Pat Dinizio from the Smithereens and the show was free and everything was laid back so talking to these people was really easy as there was no security people and what not.  That was in 1996 or 97.

Welcome Joey. Are you related to the Fuckup family in New Mexico? I know a lot of Fuckups here.

hell its the tits man !

where else could you hear such music ?

sure i heard the elevators and the seeds back in the 80s but these were rare and exotic things back then.

the US is so huge and the music so diverse,

the music this site offers is a real eye opener, i find all sorts of stuff  i never knew existed,

the US soul scene is well served here in england many black artists who barely made  a dent on the us charts in the sixties are given almost god like status in uk soul club circles and rightly so.

but the garage is still an unknown to most.

i like my music raw.

i like my music honest.

i like my music groovy.  

Because this is still going by links and actual pages (instead of that new fangled generated pages) and you have to click refresh to actually see something new that appeared in the last minute, this is actually the fastest website when it comes to loading on my computer.  And content is always a big plus.

Hehe :DD

I'm also including a YouTube link with a funny video to go along with the song.  Enjoy!

It would be funnier if i could understand the lyrics....

"Be a Caveman" by the Avengers is pretty funny.

Wau y Los Arghs

Thee Vicars

The Urges

But I'd also haven't ever seen the Fleshtones still as well as the Lyres and it's rumored that the Chocolate Watchband MAY do some shows.  They did record some songs according to one friend of mine.

Listening to oldies led to listening to garage rock, I suppose. 

Big ups to LINY!!! Anyone...?

Don't forget New York City. I'd say its garage scene is bigger than any of those others. Hell, Memphis, too, for that matter.
