Hi, I'm a fan of wild rock'n'roll too. Here's my top ten of the wildest songs ever:

 

10. Tony Conn - Like Wow

Hard to choose really. There are myriads of wild rockabilly songs. This one has interesting orchestration, like Tyrone Schmidling.

9. Jesse James - South's Gonna Rise Again

Love the voice.

8. Project Blue - The Banshees

Timeless classic.

7. The Ranger Sounds - Ricordami

Incredible Italian band!

6. The Pinetoppers - Shout Bamalama

Otis Redding when he he tried to sound like Little Richard.

5. The Valiants - Good Golly Miss Molly

This one was released before Little Richard's and is much faster and wilder!

4. Adrian Lloyd - Lorna

Real punk gem.

3. The Phantom - Love Me

Opening scream is unbeatable.

2. Bunker Hill - The Girl Can't Dance

Link Wray played on that one.

1. Ralph Nielsen & the Chancellors - Scream

I don't know if this is surf, rockabilly or 60s punk but it is truly the wildest!

 

Hope you like it.

Bad Seed is a great book although it does spend a very long time on the Birthday Party era. There is a lot of input from Mick Harvey and others. I enjoyed it and am not even a massive Nick Cave fan.

Thanks guys - surely square set on my to-read list. Much appreciated. Love Cope, informed and makes you want to be informed.

Jill,

Cope does go a beyond the call of duty with the back story in the early chapters but his record reviews are

adictive and get one enthused to hit you tube and start listening. Check out Eve by Speed, Glue and Shinki.

The Mummies.  End of discussion.

Gwar!

A few years back there was a band from my town ( Portsmouth NH ) called THEE MONKEY BUTLERS. They played great garage RnR. The only link that I can find that still works is the myspace address. Check them out!! http://www.myspace.com/theemonkeybutlers

Bought my tickets last night - missed out on the 4 day passes... every single night features at least one of my all-time favorite bands/performers! insane. pysched.

It's called "I Know" by Shepard's Heard

Good song! But sorry I can't help you there.

Unknown Song.mp3 If you can, please let know the artist and/or song. Thanks.

I had a go with the superglue on a larger crack (maybe 0.5mm across) and only just managed to get the drop to go in the crack on attempt no. 3. It clearly wasn't going to be worth trying to get it into the hairline lacquer cracks - as it was I got superglue over my hands and then managed to touch the inside of the guitar case, resulting in a very uncool hairy palm look.

I've attached a pic that shows a couple of cracks typical of those on the guitar.

Yes... good eye!

This is a group that I belong to, it is a great resource, check it out:

There's a wee Mullard booklet which has valve amp circuits. I started one; haven't finished yet as it needs a chassis building and I haven't got round to that yet. I've done some modifying, but mostly to the boxes containing everything!

D.

Very cool. I am a total gear-head. I build primitive instruments out of cigar boxes such as guitars, amps, lap-steels, kalimbas, etc. and I modify electric guitars. I have several custom-made amps and guitars, so I have interest but no huge experience. I do, though, build small amplifiers out of cigar box guitars and cigarette boxes (they are only a few watts, run on batteries, and the speakers don't get much larger than 2.5 or 5 inches. 

So, regardless, I'd like to follow this thread. 

I know of amp builders that you could probably contact if you have further needs.

Hi All

I am trying to work out the lyrics to "Where The Wolfbane Blooms" by the Nomads. I have virtually all of it but there are just TWO words I can't work out. The first two words on line 5.

I have, of course, looked all over the net, when you Google there do appear to be some matches but when you go to the sites in question they don't have the lyrics after all. 

Here's what I've got so far:

I know a place, seems real strange
Some things will never change
Thunder, lightning
Blindin' my eyes

??????? ?????? bats
Fillin' the skies

Well in the pale night of the moon
Ah you may see the wolf bane bloom

Ancient horses will appear
Cause it's haunted don't you hear
You may be pure of heart and pure of soul
But you'll become a wolf when the moon is full

Well in the pale night of the moon
Ah you're gonna see the wolf bane bloom

Thanks in advance!
