I love Rock'n'Roll as a way of life, not as an advertisement...

And yes I'm quite a bear !
And yes I try to avoid Google, Facebook etc...
And what the hell would a Grizzly bear do with a cellphone ?
Oh, I plead guilty for the internet...sorry...but I use it to prepare Revolution !!! Naive bear ? Of course !
Naive but fighting !
Don't even know what Chuck Taylors are...No kidding ! I'm avoiding brands and logos as the plague anyway.
Plead guilty for the car too (the jalopy shall I say...) since there ain't no public transportation in the hole I live in. Second hand car of course, easy choice since I couldn't afford to buy one new anyway...
Never buy a cd...always steal them but please don't tell no one...
As for vinyls...most of mine are second hands or from small independant labels, whatever that means.
And you may call me stupid, integrist or unable but I play and record music since I'm a teenager (and you know I'm so fucking old now...) and have never even tried to make money out of this ! But once again, please keep it to yourself coz that's a secret...
Making music shouldn't be a job...just a bunch of persons sweatin', strummin', bangin' or whatever together just to have fun and make the squares sick and afraid ! Not to earn money !
Not that I blame bands or labels making money out of music, I even support some of them...it just doesn't have to be the aim.

That said, you've probably guessed I'm really not a social kind of guy.

But I still love and buy In The Red records and Goner records whenever I can...but still piss on Vice and Scion.
And doesn't even have watched this documentary so what the Hell am I doing here ???

Cheers to everyone here especially to Count Brockula and Dana Hatch !

Jesus, That was hard work,Not the film the responses, I liked some of it and some of it made me wanna puke, The bottom line is there are some great bands having heaps of fun and dare i say it being young people. This site seems to have a faction of people who are purist 60s garage fans and people who just like what they like and fitter the bullshit as they see fit. I loved the Fred and Toody stuff, those guys are so amazing.

Very well put, John :)

Why do people care how Garage Rock is getting exposed, if a big company wants to use it to get eyeballs to their ads I say good for them. When it's all said and done, maybe a couple of kids will like the music and get into it. That's the only way to keep it alive. I call bullshit on anyone that says they are anti corporate, it might be cool to say, but I bet we can find a Big Mac wrapper somewhere near them.

There is a super great song by DeRita Sisters entitled "Born without a Punk Rock Name". It is in classic punk style and should be in everyone's collection. "Rat Scabies...I am just LeRoy" "It's a goddam, motherfuckin' shame. I was born with a punk rock name"

(I'm new. Am I allowed to quote bad language?)

Hi all.

Easy question. The answer is, of course, Dinah Cancer from .45 Grave.

Good on ya! Eric Avery's playing is top notch!

I am going to throw this out there fully prepared to get flamed for it. In the past 20+ years, some of what I have found to be the most memorable bass lines were written and performed by Eric Avery from Jane's Addiction. Sure, simplicity was key, but one cannot deny the power of the bass lines from Mountain Song, Three Days, Pigs etc.

How can you not include Love Song by The Damned?! Agree with JJ Burnell, Paul Simonon and John Entwhistle - almost anything by these three guys would appear in my list. But as an ex-bass player I Wanna Be Your Dog by The Stooges has to be right up there, along with Powerline by Husker Du. Probably much more will come to mind but that's an off the top of the head stab.

It's over I'm sure, but "GRANDPA", "SMACK PETERS", "DOO DOO BROWN", "SHINGO", "OCTOPUS MOTOR".

We thought if each one of you who responded to his facebook postings (and anyone else who cares to) would be so kind to donate any amount of money whether $5 or $500 or $5000, he can get back on the road & get back to you online.
Below is Howie's personal paypal address & any amount that you so graciously send will go directly to him.
**Please note - Howie agreed to this invite/posting and he is very grateful for any help and thanks you.

Evert L Pipkin is my absolute favorite MOAM? vocal track. To the best of my knowledge, the only time they ever performed it live was at their 2006 reunion at The Bottletree in Birmingham, AL. After years of searching, Jonny Browning, their new rhythm player, finally hooked me up with a great bootleg of the show.

Destination Venus is all you need...!

For drums, I cannot urge you enough to check out the program BFD2. Go to the website and you will be amazed at what you hear.

I play Eastwood's Sidejack model and I have nothing but good things to say about it. The craftsmanship is 2nd to none and the improvements on the most recent model really brought it into it's own. Just not, with this particular model, the original had a bigsby tremolo which was quite good. Then, they switched to a 'burns' tremolo system which was absolutely terrible. Now, they have switched to a traditional Jazzmaster style tremolo and I could not be happier with it. The P-90s, while they could stand to be a bit hotter, have a wonderful tone. The neck is fast and flat. The finish is wonderful. I highly suggest checking them out. From what I see, they only become a better company with each year.

In regard to the pickup question, the Mosrites had overwound P-90s that were very 'hot'. These sound very different from standard P-90s found on todays guitars.

I actually play an Eastwood Sidejack, which is their take on the old mosrites. It is a great guitar for a great price. However, if you really want a Mosrite, I suggest checking out Hallmark guitars. These run just under 1000usd and are the best repros made at the moment, even over those with the Mosrite name. Even better, Hallmark are made by one of Semi Mosleys colaborators so this guy knows the Mosrite inside and out. Even better than that, one of the biggest complaints about the original Mosrites is how thin the neck is and how narrow the nut is, placing the strings very close together. Hallmark has fixed this with a more standard gibson nut width. Even Brian from Man or Astro-man? has been playing these since they got back together.
