    • Do any of you guys use Turntable.fm? It's basically a site with a ton of music rooms (different genres/themes) and you can play songs and listen to other people's tracks. It's pretty fun for hanging out and finding new music. It might be cool to start up a Hideout room for everyone here to spin some tracks.

    • I seriously recommend the package/magazine bundle offered by Rush for their fans:)

      I see most of my favorites are mentioned here. I also enjoyed England's Dreaming by Jon Savage (on The Sex Pistols and punk), Passion is a Fashion The Real Story of The Clash by Pat Gilbert, The Dirt by Mötley Crue/Neil Strauss (of course) and I really loved Hellfire by Nick Tosches.

      Anybody read Keith Richard's Life or the John Einarson's Arthur Lee bio?

    • SIN GALORE are already on this Sampler ...and also on the Hideout. Look em up! Don't know if they are still doing stuff, though. Sinicess (also on the Hideout) did some great tracks to begin with, on hiatus now I think.

      but all in all I prefer something like on this sampler:

    • Great thread, I agree with you Wolfboy Slim, masks add another great dimension to a live show...I see Kiss mentioned, but I think we should draw the line between makeup (especially glam) and masks.

      I too, really like, The Mummies and the bandage gimmick cracks me up.

      The Mexican wrestling masks worn by, Los Staitjackets and the Dwarves, look brilliant. It must be murder to play in that getup in summer.

      The Kings of masked shows around here (Oz) would be T.I.S.M. whose identities have never been revealed behind an unbroken line of diverse and bizarre masks.

      However, I'm rather partial to 'Zorro' eye masks, which I think look excellent when worn by 6ts trash bands or Japanese Garage acts like the 5,6,7,8's and the Stompin' RiffRaffs. I think they would be my favourites, (though they're not always masked).

    • You're so right. I don't know what happened to her.....She was playing in a very small club once , years ago , and I could'nt get it together to get down there in time.

      Go to "Chic A Go Go" on You Tube and see if her performance of "Rock'n'Roll Santa " is up.

    • HA HA....Well put. The Vodka advertisement is probably better.  Steven Tyler ....aping Alice Cooper ? SAY IT AIN'T SO.  The kid at 1:04 , he's a relatively well known actor , now. He's the guy from "Pecker" by John Waters. I did'nt make it thru the whole thing. Even lifting from The Yardbirds could'nt salvage this song , tho'.

    • No , I have'nt seen that , but Dee Dee signed a flyer for me . If I thought I was going to meet him , I would have brought a record. But , he was glad to sign it , illegible scribble and a big cracked coconut smile on his face .

      Have you seen Dee Dee's hand-written lyrics to "Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment" in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame? They are written like a fourth-grader would do it, with his name and the date in large, childlike printing flush left at the top left corner, and the rest underneath it. You get the feeling he never quite moved past the horizontally-blue-lined pieces of paper with the dashed line in the middle for lowercase letters on which kids do assignments in elementary school.

    • That's pretty funny.

      According to Dee Dee's book, which I'm sure to some extent is based in reality, he wrote Warthog for his therapist who gave him the assignment of writing a love song. I always liked that song even better after reading that.

    • Rocco , Yeah , I first saw them on the "Too Tough To Die" tour , but , not because I had'nt tried to see them , earlier. It was a good time to see them , they seemed to have a new lease on life. I always figured the lyrics to "Wart Hog" were'nt transcribed as a joke , since they're almost utterly unintelligible. "Mama's Boy" is still the bomb....or whatever kids say , today.

    • i MAY HAVE ALREADY SAID SOMETHING HERE.....Younger men , take comfort in knowing the MEMORY is first thing to go.... I'm a writer , "Musician" and sometimes visual artist , based in Chicago. Before that , I lived in Dallas and Arlington (Or Dullass and Arlingfun as we used to say....), Texas. Lived in parts of Illinois prior to that , too. I write and illustrate for Roctober magazine - www.roctober.com   , and worked with Bad Trip , Black To Comm , Psychotronic Video , and others. I've got a piece in the recent Roctober retrospective "Flying Saucers Rock'n'Roll" , and in the Roctober - released or related "A Friendly Game of Poker", "T.V. a Go - Go" , and a book of interviews with Dan Clowes ("Ghost World" , "Eightball" , etc.) . I'VE BEEN PLAYING MUSIC , OFF AND ON , FOR 30 years. BUT , i'VE REMAINED A SOLO ACT WITH JUST A FEW SIDE PROJECTS (Inc. DAS VOLT , FRONTED BY BRYAN McMAHON OF THE ELECTRIC EELS. ) .   You can see my one You Tube video , my version of "Six Days on The Road", at totallybmx (That's not my page , so , show some respect.)......It'll explain why my report card says "Does'nt Play Well With Others".

      Oh ! Music .....Rockabilly , Garage , Psych , Country , Blues , Early Hard Rock , R'n'B , Punk , Instrumental Rock , other stuff.

    • The Misfits piece (Which is very good.) reminds me of a Guerilla Interview session between The Late Brad Stiles (Hugh Beaumont Experience , The Eat.) and The late Wendy O. Williams.

      Brad: Do you like Texas?

      Wendy : Yeah.

      Brad: What kind of soup do you like?

      Wendy : I dunno.

      BRAD: WHAT SORT OF THINGS BELONG IN YOUR BOTTOM?

      Wendy: HUH?!!!

      The interview , as it were , appeared in an issue of Throbbing Cattle , a xerox zine put out bythe members of Ft. Worth Teen Punks , The Hugh Beaumont Experience. Because they actually WERE teenagers , the zine had a more personal touch , including contributions by my good friend , the Late Keith Kaski. The HBE broke up after recording one amazing Psychedelic track and a funny Funk/Rap spinoff on the cool "Steel Rok Presents" cassette compilation. Drummer Jeff Coffe turned up , as King Vitamin (Already his stage name.),  in The Butthole Surfers , and Stiles RE-EMERGED , years later , with a great funny Hardcore/R'n'B BAND WITH A CONGA PLAYER CALLED THE EAT.  They quickly disapeared , which was too bad. I really wanted to do a show with them. Several years later , still , Stiles commited suicide.
