As much as people would like to believe that the Ramones kickstarted a whole movement when they played the Roundhouse in 1976,  I think British Glam was more an influence on the Pistols than anything American except maybe a few like the New York Dolls and the Modern Lovers.  British Mod played a big part in their sound as well.

Were The Pistols Influenced More By American Punk Or British Glam?

nameless 6ts japanese guitar...most probably a teisco...

The Gories

ok i think i know the setups,

 dan: '64 fender jaguar into a vox ac30,

I too am a big fan of Hunter I reckon he has written some of the best songs about rock n roll ever.

If you get chance grab a copy of his book diary of a rock n roll star its a great read.

Check his tour schedule.  He may be coming to your town, or at least to one close enough to drive to.

I'm a big fan of Ian Hunter and Mott the Hoople...AND I like Cleveland.

But I live in Portland, OR so I won't be at the show.

Carry on....

 

Columbus is the home town of one of my all time favorite bands, Manda and the Marbles:)

I'd rather give props to the One Way Streets from Zanesville (close to Columbus), but I thought I could get a laugh out of you Mike

Hi.

"What A Way To Die" is a cover version of the Pleasure Seekers.  Here's the lyrics.

http://www.lyricsvip.com/The-Pleasure-Seekers/What-a-Way-to-Die-Lyrics.html

any one got any info on their gear?

i know guitars include a framus apollo in the early days and since then include a vox phantom and occasionaly a fender jaguar but what about amps, pedals, keys?

also any chords, tabs or lyrics (what a way to die would be much appreciated)

thanks :)

Oh, Okay... you're referring to vintage stuff.

Well first of all, in the 60's it was new – not vintage, but certainly not cheap... and nowadays, equipment from the 80's is considered vintage :)... so the surviving axes/amps (they haven't exactly multiplied) from the 60's are actually halfway antiques. I guess prices will reflect that.

yeah it just annoys me ,im 14 and english so all the good stuff is eithe too expensive or in america

If you're talking about the vintage boom of the early 2000's then I have one word for you; greed.

Cheaper in the 60's and 80's?!.. I beg to differ!

I have the original Ruby release. Worn to shit from playing constantly! I luv that record.

There are a lot of options over at Amazon and some pretty unbelievable prices as well!

I think they did, but I misspoke (that'll teach me to post again from work before going home to check the actual disc!); my copy is copyright 1993 Slash Records. Manufactured and marketed by PolyGram, blah blah blah, but on the spine it says Slash/London and the London logo is on it, too. So your guess is as good as mine.

Love this album to bits!

I've got two copies, greedy huh?

Rhino did a reissue on CD? I'll have to track that down!

Funny you should mention this album... it was released 30 years ago TODAY! One of the best ever.

As for the Munster repress, I've no idea. Sorry! I have the Rhino/WEA reissue on CD and it sounds great. ;)

Does anyone remember you am i?

I haven't seen this film in probably 25 years, and I'm dying to see it again. Anyone know where I can get a good quality copy of it on DVD?

Peavey Classics are good value, and I've used my Classic 20 a whole bunch through the years, but the Laney Lionhearts are a step up soundwise, and build-quality is significantly better (just "smoked" my Classic!)... also featured on the Laneys is a great spring-reverb.
