      I wonder what t says that "love" has 15 replies and "hate" has 160?! Just saying is all.
      Anyway, in no particular order here goes -
      1. Moonlight Motel, Gun Club.
      2. Domino, The Cramps.
      3. Stay Free, The Clash.
      4. Fear of the Dark, The Meteors.
      5. Holiday in Cambodia, Dead Kennedys.
      6. The Mercy Seat, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.
      7. Fever, Link Wray.
      8. Strummerville, Stiff Little Fingers.
      9. RIP, Alien Sex Fiend.

    • If you could miraculously have ANY piece of gear from 1960-1968, what would it be?


      I'm takin' 3-

      Fender Wildwood gitty-(in blue/green)
      Magnacord reel-to-reel
      any Silvertone amp...

      There's more, of course, but I've been thinking about these for a while...

    • Second part was pretty weak, I don't give a shit about The Vivian Girls or Magic Kids and that Smith Westerns stuff was pretty fucking revolting. Fred Cole on the other hand, just awesome.

    • I didn't figure many people would remember it, although it (banana-truffle) was pretty active back in the day. I wonder where a lot of those folks went.

    • Scion Garage Fest, Gonerfest, Budget Rock Fest, Ponderosa Stomp, Vegas Shakedown... those are all in the USA and just off the top of my head.

      Just keep your eyes on this forum. Anytime there's a festival it usually gets discussed here in advance.

    • Plug it in and let it rip. Whatever makes your ass shake is a damn good time.

    • You should play what you wanna play. Power chords, Open chords or Barre Chords; it doesn't matter, if it sounds right to you then it's right!

    • November 26, 2010 4:48 PM CST
    • I vote full barre chords. Learn the E and A form barre chords on the first twelve frets and you're good. Learn some minors and sevenths eventually. I've been at that point for the past few years. I don't really know where to go now. I guess working on songwriting would be a good choice.

    • Hi. My name is Louise and I play in a band called the "Sisters of Mersey". It's with my best friend, Jenn and we have a new drummer, Jimgo. We just played our first gig with him the other night and, overall, it went o.k. Hopefully, we'll have some music up on our page shortly.

    • I play with a guy who uses one of these. It is Behringer but it hasn't fallen apart on him yet. It's super inexpensive. I'll have to ask him how fuzzy it can get.

    • Fuzz pedals made for guitar don't usually sound good on bass. Bass needs a fatter signal. I've tried some of the best Vintage guitar Fuzz boxes on bass & I found that once I try to play with a full band, they did not cut through. When I sat in with The Ghastly Ones on their Pacific NW tour last year I used an Ibanez Phat-Hed Bass overdrive. It was exactly what they were looking for. I also used this pedal when I recorded the bass VI fuzz solo on the Beat Killers song Gimme A Kiss. It roars. Fender has just put out a pretty cool looking bass fuzz that I plan to check out soon as well. Over-driving an amp with a bass might give you a cool sound for a while, but you can really damage an amp, especially a guitar amp by pushing a bass signal through it. Back in the 60's, before bass amps were designed with hi wattage, basically that's what you had, over-driven distorted amps. It's not as easy to control as a pedal. I have a 67 Gibson EB2. That fat humbucker has blown out a few speakers in its day.
