Lux doing voice work on Sponge Bob Squarepants. I haven't seen it yet, but Lux also did the voice of Rayo-X in the english version of the cartoon "Los Campeones de Lucha Libre"

They were? I have'nt seen that movie since it came out. I can't think of anything The Clash were in , besides their own "Rude Boy" , "The Punk Rock Movie" , and various documentaries....The Ramones were in a total of two movies , The Cramps , in a total of one (Unless you count the Miriam - era "Gang" picture...I forget the title.).

The Pistols were in "The Punk Rock Movie" , they'd already split up before "The Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle". I forget if there was more than TV footage of the actual band , together.

The Standells were also on "THE BING CROSBY SHOW" AND I THINK A COUPLE OF OTHERS , NOT TO MENTION MOVIES LIKE "ZEBRA IN THE KITCHEN" , "GET YOURSELF A COLLEGE GIRL.".... They spread themselves pretty thin before they finally scored a hit...

My worst show though, do local bands count? My friend played my birthday party when I was 18 and I had to tell them to stop, I was sharing the party with some others who had their birthday at the same time but they forced me to tell her.

As for professional gigs, last year's Hurricane festival easily was crap. I had lots of fun don't get me wrong, but I never realised how bad mainstream rock festivals are and the last time I went to one I hadn't realised that there was a big world of less known stuff out there. Anyway I tried to stand through a Jimmy Eat World show (crap). Tried to get into a tent where Sick of it all were playing (was full). Incubus sucked, I know but some bands are ok live and thought I would give them a go. And Kasabian were certain that they were in Hamburg.

At least you got Marky Ramone, I saw "The Misfits" last year and it just had what's his name telling us we weren't rocking hard enough. Now the audience has a role to play but these guys were headlining the bloody festival and sucking at it. It was Ruhrpott Rodeo and according to the facebook site they have Marky Ramone's Blitzkreig this year with a comment about them being good. I'm hoping this is a joke.

....I feel your pain , tho' I'm not a huge Misfits fan....I saw A "Misfits" like in '03. It was Jerry Only . Dez Cadena and Marky Ramone. I knew it was'nt The Misfits. But , between them ,  it seemed like it could have been a good Rock'n'Roll show . I would have been OK with that , but , they were TERRIBLE. the Damned and The Dickies were both lower on the bill , but , needless to say , beat that atrocity into submission..

OK , IT WAS'NT THE WORST SHOW I EVER SAW.....

THAT HONOR WOULD HAVE TO GO TO ANY STICKMEN WITH RAYGUNS GIG FROM 1982 - 87. iRONICALLY , ONE OF THE LAST SHOWS I EVER SAW THEM DO WAS TOLERABLE , ANYWAY.  HONORABLE MENTION WOULD HAVE TO GO TO THE MAKERS, AND , IT PAINS ME TO SAY THIS , BUT , SONNY BURGESS' LAST TOUR , PURE FAIR CIRCUIT .

I ACTUALLY MISSED THE BATUSIS THAT NIGHT , BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. PEOPLE WERE LEAVING IN DROVES. SOME OF THEM , PROBABLY MORE TOLERANT OF CORN THAN I AM.

What is your worst show you have ever been to? Mine ws at last year's fun fun fun fest I stayed at the front of the black stage to watch danzig for 5 hours for nothing but disappointment he did play his full samhain set but only vampria and 5 seconds of night of the living dead before he got cut off and he blamed the promoters for not letting him go on with his full set when it was entierly his fault the next day I just sat at home and listened to my Misfits records by myself....

Apologies to anyone who mentioned the Royal Fingers already, but they're fantastic.  I bought this album about 4 years ago, surprised to see the price here but I'm sure you can find it for cheaper elsewhere:   http://www.amazon.com/Wild-Eleki-Deluxe-Royal-Fingers/dp/B00005EBJF

Eleki Boom!

Good pick !   Bryan McMahon from The Electric Eels told me that Peter Laughner from Rocket from The Tombs and Pere Ubu would get gigs at Fraternity keg parties , and play "Sister Ray" for 20 or 30 minutes. Amazingly , that's not what killed him.
 
Mina said:

You're right , Mina. It's too easy to think up short Punk Rock songs....I would have mentioned "Inna - Gadda -Da Vida" , too ,  but , I think it clocked in at just under 20 minutes....Maybe not. When they toured in '96 (With the late Erik Braunn the only non - participant from the "Classic Lineup".) , THEY PARED THE SONG DOWN TO 12 OR 14 MINUES , IN AN EFFORT TO AVOID CLICHES....Members of the band still walked on and off the stage , while others took solos !
 
Mina said:

Haha yeah I was feeling goofy or something lol :D Cuz I mean it's easy to name a three cord punkrock song less than 2 minutes blablabla, this is more of a challenge! ;-)

John Battles said:

Nice one , Mina....HA HA HA..... I JUST GOT A CD WITH A TRACK BY KALIEDOSCOPE (THE AMERICAN BAND , W/DAVID LINDLEY) , IT'S JUST A LONGASS GUITAR JAM , BUT IT SOUNDS GREAT. Forgot the title...But , yeah , it's got to be 20 minutes.

Other extremely long songs I like (But never bother to look at the song length.)

Groundhogs - Cherry Red.

Golden Earring - Eight Miles High.

Mountain Bus - I Know You , Rider.

Pink Fairies - Uncle Harry's Last Freakout.

Quicksilver Messenger Service - Who Do You Love/How Do You Love.

Blue Cheer would sometime hit or exceed the 20 minute mark with their live rendition of "Doctor Please" , and , we're talking less than 10 years ago.

The first two important super - long songs were "I'm Going Home" by The Rolling Stones , and "Revelation" by Love. But ,which one really influenced the other is still in debate.

There are 30 minute plus live versions of the Velvets doing Sister Ray out there (in both senses).

Got any juicy interviews from yer heroes? Here's one-

The Wildebeests are great! If you like Billy Childish, Masonics, and any of that Medway Sound, then the Wildebeests are your ticket.

The Pulsebeats said:

This is a great thread! Lots to hunt down. Anyone mention Scotland's The Wildebeests. Not sure exactly when they formed, but have been around a good while now. Dirty Water put out a retrospective last year that's definitely worth checking out.

When will you be in the bay? I might be able to help.

First: The Ramones at City Gardens in Trenton, NJ May 29, 1991

Best: The Ramones at The University of Maryland, Summer 1993 - the show started with only about five people in attendance - like my own private Ramones concert!

First show - Green Day in Manchester in 1994 on their Dookie tour.

Best show (by a country mile!) - Tom Waits a couple of years back in Edinburgh on his Glitter and Doom tour. Pure theatre.

Yeah, they put out some cracking stuff. We're particularly fond of The Hipshakes and Wau y Los Arrrghs.
