If you pay $60 for a guitar won't it sound like shit before you smash it?

Well, considering amount of guitars I've fixed from people that have "lost it" and smashed their guitars to bits it could save me a lot of time and hassle.

But the true essence, if you will, of smashing a guitar is the fact that the smasher has lost it in the heat of moment and in a fit of creative passion they've trashed their guitar. Buying a guitar just to smash kinda makes the whole a little manufactured.

The recycled part is pretty easy cause guitars have heaps of parts that can be reused.

Google "K's Japan smash guitar" It's a guitar that's made to be destroyed. It sells for $60.00 and can be broken on stage with one swing. When your done with it you send it back to be recycled. What do you think about that?

I'm digging the BYOC Leeds fuzz -- a Superfuzz clone in a kit. I reckon it's the beesknees and the cheapest way to get a superfuzz - if yer confidant with a soldering iron.

It was hard to find a good fuzz for my casio organ and found that the Dod Classic Fuzz FX52 is awesome on a variety of keyboards.

im really sorry and i realise how annoying it is asking sumbody to show you how to play a tune ,,,, but does anybody know the chords to this tune http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qA04Y3iywQ  ,,  really want to play it and i am dum with the guitar and can never work how to play any songs,, but i deffo wanna do a cover of this so if anybody could help us out would be much appriciated xxx

Was it this?

On a related note, the Lemonheads do a cool version of Mrs. Robinson

This is NOT a rock song! This version was very much like the original..soft..harmonies...and then that fuzz guitar sneaks in from the darkness...really good!!! who?? WHO?????????????????? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

In an odd way, their manager was probably more punk than the Kingsmen themselves as they wanted to record it AGAIN (apperently they thought they were just doing a run through for levels and getting ready) but the manager thought it was fine. Now let's record the flip side.

Rad!!! Thanks Kopper! Obviously you youtube search skill are a bit better than mine, unless this was just recently posted.

Thanks for the tip, I'll use some of you capped keywords in my searches in the future to see what I can come up with. toploader1040w said:

i saw the Drags in 1996 at a local bar in RIVERSIDE, CA called the 5150 CLUB. there was someone there with a "Handycam"- some of us remember these Sony items. IDK if it was just some dumb local ( the bar had a few of those ) or if they were with the band, but nevertheless, they were being recorded. sorry what just seems like a cock tease, but you are not searching in COMPLETE vain.

Yeah, I'm not proud of it, but I was listening to Cum On Feel The Noize, We're Not Gonna Take It, Shout At The Devil, Rock You Like A Hurricane, You Got Another Thing Comin', Round And Round and other stuff like that mostly because I still hadn't found out about punk or garage revival and I wanted to hear stuff with guitars. At least I didn't buy the stuff (not that I'm putting down others who did, I just never had any money). MikeL said:

I still like that song, although nowadays it's more of a guilty pleasure. Back then, I seriously thought it was the greatest song ever.

I have nothing to add to this but I just thought that Quiet Riot comment was classic. Statements like that just send me to the floor. (Because it's so true)

whoa, The 1973 demo version too. Cool!

Personally, I like the Dictators' cover of "California Sun" better than the Ramones' cover of "California Sun." It's also one of my favorite songs to watch the Garage Girls a Go Go dance to, along with "Pull Shapes" by the Pipettes.

I'm waiting for a political candidate to use "I Wanna Destroy You" by the Soft Boys in a campaign commercial.

wow is that weird- hearing Dick Mani while looking at Jeter and A-Rod on a T.V. commercial. its like finding out your daughter is having sex.

Rainbo Records has 100 12"s for $850. Aardvark will master and plate a 12" for $424, and with a current special United can press 100 copies for $314, total of $738.

Has anyone tried Furnace MFG? Just curious... a friend was inquiring about this same thing on Facebook today.

State Records had stuff done by GZ in Czech Republic and DMS [who use GZ!]; strangely DMS were cheaper than going direct to GZ. No problems with their output so far, seem like decent DMM cuts, sleeves are good quality. Very fast turnaround - both occasions I've used them, we had the finished product within 3 weeks of sending off the masters and artwork! 500 45s in full colour sleeve was about £750.

Loli & the Chones
Cramps during Kid Congo's time with them.

Then you had 60s group The Boston Dexters, who weren't from Boston, but Edinburgh, Scotland...duh and wot's a Dexter then when it's at home? TeenFink said:

Then ya got fuckers like the Boston Chinks, who are neither Chinks nor are they from Boston!
