During the early part of their set, a guy kept jumping up on stage to dance in front of bass player J.J. Burnell. The first time this happened, J.J. lightly pushed him off the stage. During the next song, the guy did it again, and J.J. kicked him off with a karate kick. During the next song the guy jumped up a third time, and J.J., who was obviously pissed off by now, violently shoved the guy off of the stage. The guy gave J.J. the finger, and in the middle of the song, J.J. put his bass on top of the spaeker column, and leaped off the stage onto the guy's head, where he proceeded to pummel him. The drummer, Jet Black (a very BIG man) quit playing and joined J.J. in beating up this loser. They then carried the unconscious guy stage left, kicked open the emergency exit door, and threw him out into the back alley. Hugh Cornwell, the Stranglers' guitarist/vocalist then said: "We don't need any bounce! rs for this band!" They then sta rted the song over.

Supposedly done in 1963, these are unflinchingly raw proto-garage cuts about being in jail (which was where Armand was when he wrote em, according to an old Outasite mag. interview w/Armand I read). Armand's tortured vocals and the bluesy, doomy guitar leads are like nothing I have heard from '63. Both cuts were comped on the Glimpses series, Vol. 4.

Where can you find a British Buzz pedal? >>I've never heard of that one, and would like to try it out. Yeah-the BIG MUFF Is good on the bass -as it has a richer squelchier tone. The(sadly de-funct)Polyester Explosion always used one for Jaxons' bass-and his succesors' too! As for a good "british" fuzz sound----I like the D.O.D"Classic Fuzz" 60$ish which has that Keith Richards fuzz sound---it's tone modulator is good too,enabling you to get a trebley fuzz-on high or a very rich acid-drenched fuzz tone-on low tone settings. I preffer this to the Big Muff (gasp!) as the BM has very little range and if you're very particular about the exact sound of your fuzz......you are limited in your control....other fuzz pedals "distort" WAY too much--resulting in a metal-shred sound-yuk! Besides the "Classic Fuzz" i also would recommend the Morley Fuzz-wah-----the fuzz is like NO OTHER!!(serious) and to get just the right tone on it-you set the wah- to the right spot(tonally) and just leave it in that position!!!!! this produces a BLISTERING fuzz sound that makes the paint peel off the back of my skull! but the way to get a real authentic "british"fuzz is in the amplifier---by overdriving it with just the righ reverb-treble-bass levels! a lower watt amp does this well, a 100 watt does this too but you need to twist knobs more,as it can handle more before breaking up the signal. mind you a guitar with really hot pickups doesn't hurt eaither!!like a Gibson SG! try a 50watt or 60watt amp with everything on 10 (these ones go to 11!)

I have and regularly use the Morley Power Fuzz Wah. It destroys all other fuzz pedals out there...past, present and sure to carry on into the future.

I remember seeing this in an old songbook as House of the Rising Sun. I checked a Leadbelly site (http://cycad.com/cgi-bin/Leadbelly/discog/) and it was recorded on a radio broadcast and re-recorded under the same name. Not having read a biography of him, is this allusion to a title that it was known by before it was recorded? The closest title I see is a song called "In New Orleans", which I suspect is a different song. It seems to have been based on an actual place. The major differences between the Animals' version and Leadbelly's are that the House of the Rising Sun is a whorehouse, which makes the Rising Sun reference more significant and also the song is sung from the viewpoint of one of the women who now works there, not a man who has made his living. So while you could have a song that referred to Mack the Knife, a murderer of prostitutes chart for Bobby Darin in 1959 (his version is based on the lyrically incorrect version done by Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, which explains the Lotte Lenya reference; Lenya played Jenny in the Threepenny Opera), apparenly, it was thought that you could not warn girls and women AWAY from houses of dubious distinction without fear of the censor, so the house became a gambling house. In short, I don't believe that either the Animals or Leadbelly deserve writing credit on this song, but there is a man or woman named Trad. that must be raking in some pretty hefty royalties!

Up to and including Townshend kicking a Policeman in the oh-my-that-hurts in the middle of a solo. The venue was on fire and he was being warned to get out, but Townshend was playing and would have none of it.

My two cents: From a Dylan fan's website: http://members.xoom.com/elstongunn/house.html In the United States, The Rising Sun, a song with roots in 17th century British folk melody -- the rising sun has been a longtime symbol for brothels in British and American ballads -- circulated widely among Southern musicians, black and white. Black bluesman Texas Alexander first recorded it in 1928. [Roy] Acuff may have learned this number from such neighboring Smoky Mountain artists as versatile entertainer Clarence Tom Ashley or the Callahan Brothers, an influential duet team of the '30s and '40s. John R. Rumble, Liner Notes, Country & Western Classics: Roy Acuff, Time-Life Records, 1983, p. 19. Here are the lyrics from The Weavers(Pete Seeger) version from www.mudcat.org (definitely earlier than Burden's) HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN There is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun It has been the ruin of many a poor girl And me, oh, God, was one My mother was a tailor, She sewed them new blue jeans. My lover he was a gambler, Oh Lord Gambled down in New Orleans. My husband, he was a gambling man He went from town to town; And the only time he was satisfied Was when he drank his liquor down. Now the only thing a gambling man needs Is a suitcase and a trunk; And the only time he's ever satisfied I when he's on a drunk Go and tell my baby sister Never do like I have done, But to shun that house in New Orleans That they call the Rising Sun With one foot on the platform, And one foot on the train I'm goin' back to New Orleans To wear the ball and chain. I'm going back to New Orleans My race is almost run; I'm going back to spend the rest of my life Beneath that Rising Sun. - ----------------------------------------------------------------- The Weavers The sign of the rising sun was simply a red lantern.

Is this true? > Actually, the inverse is true. Daltrey dropped Pete with one punch. And yes, Keith did pass out one night and was replaced by a drummer from the audience ("Is there a drummer in the house??") who, according to the band, did okay. The latter is well documented with film footage.

If you've never been there, please believe when I tell you that I have NO DOUBT that there are a box or two of Armand product rotting away somewhere in that basement. Next time I go there I'll see if I can get someone to exhume something from down there...
