    • Again, agreed. Too "hard rock" for my tastes... reminds me of Pat Benatar or Heart. Gimme the early Pandoras any day over this. Rockin Rod Strychnine said:

    • Think The Ding Dongs have been around for a little while...but with BBQ and Bloodshot Bill on the road most of the time they probably rarely cross paths. Check Mongrel Zine 8 for more info... Rinjo Njori said:

      Doubtful... I think BBQ saw this coming and enlisted Bloodshot Bill as his new wingman. Notice how the Ding Dongs is a full album but Tandoori Knights is two songs? JK

    • Probably The Slickee Boys out of Washington DC area.....think that was on one of the Midnight Christmess LP's (on Midnight Records outta NYC) that came out in the late 80's/early 90's. Might also have been on one of their LP's.

      Yes! "Big Bird" by Eddie Floyd is pretty much perfection.

    • Now I know it's not the first thing you think of when someone says "soul", but I consider it soul... The entire Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels "Breakout" album. First record I ever bought, and I put it on at EVERY party. Makes me wanna DANCE!

    • June 15, 2010 11:18 AM CDT
    • "Makin' Deals" by The Satans or "So What" by The Lyrics both come to mind pretty quick. Oh, "Go On Leave" by Red Beard and the Pirates is another one.

    • Hi there!

      Recently I've been thinking about buying a second guitar, and from the looks I fell in love with the Danelectro 59, the Dead on 67 or the Squier Jagmaster (since I'll never be able to afford the Jazzmaster).

      Now my problem is that I don't really know how those guitars would change the sound I'm using. I play an old Fender Squier thingy (as can be seen here: http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=405704319&albumID=1638533&imageID=24014130), a 10€ Behringer Blues Overdrive (with the gain on one third max) and a Dean Markley Mini Stack Amp (as can be seen here: http://monsterpawn.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=176). I only use the neck pickup on my guitar, so it doesn't sound too fat and solid, but rather cheap and semi-distorted.
      As an addition I use a Guv'nor by Marshall for solo boost and this little yellow tremolo by Danelectro. You can listen to the results (and to the sound I like) on our profile here.

      Now I'm (or rather our drummer is) afraid that buying a better guitar will change my sound from garage to "rock" or something, from deliberately cheap to professional or whatever.

      So, does anyone have any experiences with those guitars? I hear that Danelectro guitars lack bass in favour of a more twangy sound, and that the Jagmaster only has two humbuckers (that should be changed to single coils or to splitable humbuckers for my sound), but, honestly, I have no idea and am not at all into technics but rather into just playing.

      The reasons why I want to get another guitar (besides another guitar just looking cooler on my belly) are, well, having another guitar to change it when a string breaks during a show, and this damn fucking Floyd Rose tremolo system on my old one, that just sucks and is way too complicated to handle for the primitive music I make (way back in the metal days it may have been cool, but now...).

      Thanks for any advice, opinion, comment, help!

      Cheers, Doc Sanchez

    • Yep! ye can't beat the Butthole surfers. Later stuff is excellent too. one of the only bands that still have my full undivided attention after soooo many years. 'Lady Sniff' always raises a smile.
