They're a great band, of course (my favorite for a time; I like Reckoning the best), though Green was a huge letdown. "Driver 8" was the song that I think sort of broke out for them. The cover bands picked up on it. I think Document holds up surprisingly well. Has anyone seen Eugene Chadbourne's book about the rock life? He interviews some used record store clerks, one of whom says Monster is the most "popular" used CD ever. Which reminds me of another band (with Don Dixon connections): Fetchin' Bones....if you haven't listenend to ther records in a while, DON'T. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Jan 2002 14:36:15 -0500 From: "Kari Krome" Subject: "i'll sock it to ya daddy!" shit, Jimmy Castor bunch!!!! lets hear it for all things cavelike, also for your enjoyment-i believe the words to Bertha Butt Boogie went : the party was jumpin when bertha got up offa her stump the whistles were blowin and everybody was doin the bump but all the time bertha had been workin on her goodie now folks call it the bertha butt boogie when bertha butt did her goodie she started the bertha butt boogie no question. when bertha got movin her hips stated hummin in the wind the ground started shakin no grass grew where she had been (!?) the music was poppin the crowd had formed a ring hersisters yelled, boogie bertha do your thing uh for your information, bertha had three sisters betty butt, bella butt and bthsheba butt. hey leroy get away from that woman that boy'll never learn! uh oh here comes the troglodyte! troglodyte: come here, sock it to me! bertha butt stood back and yelled betty, bella, bathsheba! and the butt sisters backed her up when she yelled i need ya! the troglodyte, leroy, luther and the bitt sisters all knew that bertha butt boogie was now the thing to do. when bertha butt did her goodie she started the bertha butt boogie no question bertha: i'll sock it to ya daddy! troglodyte: me like, me like, come here woman! leroy: yo mamma, im callin you, man! troglodyte: yeah-the boogie! no question. ha ha lets hear it for the 70's! _________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Jan 2002 11:39:40 -0800 (PST) From: brian marshall Subject: Re: '72 - --- SOSBOMBS@aol.com wrote: > > Wasn't the Paul McCartney song "Admiral Halsey" from > that year?

I think his name was Jim. At least, that's what my foggy memory tells me from a show they did in, I think, maybe early '88 at The Strip (a benefit to buy a PA for the place) w/The Optic Nerve and The Secret Service, among others. I remember 'cuz he was the guy with the PA being used for the night and he wanted to take it home to Harrisburg, PA once they'd finished (which, 'cuz Strip shows always started VERY late, was probably no earlier than 2 AM). This, of course, pissed off The Secret Service who had yet to play, especially singer Wayne Manor, who had to be physically restrained from punching the guy out. As a result, Wayne stormed away, then threw some guy out of the way by the jukebox and put his fist through it. As to the rest of the band, the guys I knew at the time were Danny Sariano and Mike Musmanno, both of whom had previously been in a band called The Cool Italians. Danny & Mike used to drive in from Harrisburg to NYC and Hoboken for Fleshtones shows back in the late 80s. One time before I really knew the two of 'em, Mike Sinocchi asked if I'd put 'em up for the night. Well, at the end of the night, I found one of the guys (Musmanno, I think, though I'm not sure), but not the other. The two of us searched both Maxwells *and* all around Hoboken for an hour and a half before giving up and heading home. The next AM, he split back to find his pal. Well, he couldn't. He went home to Harrisburg to find his buddy already there. How had he gotten there? A $250 cab ride. After The Misanthropes split, I saw Mike Musmanno a couple more times when he played with a band called The Syn D'Cats who were trying to get a label deal. They did a showcase at Shelter Studios in the West 30s. (The same place, oddly enough, that the Bad Music Seminar was held in '88.) Their sound was kinda Mick Taylor-era Stones, from what I remember. And one of the guys was a founding member of, I believe, Poison, though he'd left before they made it. - - Blair ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Jan 2002 19:44:54 +0000 From: "Pepe I WANNA" Subject: Help!

I also dig "whatcha gonna do", all of his pre-hit stuff and even his early 70's stuff "She's a lady". Anyone dig Herb Alpert? I doubt it.

I'm always going into guitar shops to check out amps and guitars...I was looking at an amp a couple months ago, and asked to try it out. The guy working at the store asked what kinda guitar I had, and when I told him I usually play an old Vox or Silvertone...and sometimes a crappy solid body Gretch, he said he'd go get something with a similar sound to try with that amp. He came back with a beat up old homemade guitar with a warped neck and only one working pickup...and said that would be the only guitar they would have that would sound anything like the ones I had at home. I expressed my dissaproval, and ended up playing a new Fender through the amp. Another time, I was trying out a decent used guitar at one of the snobbier shops in town...one of the "Dudes" at the counter came over and proceeded to show me how to do it right...noodleing away on some Van Halen licks...I took the guitar back and started bashing out "All Kindsa Girls"...and ended up breaking two strings(at the same time) about half way through. The guy actually asked me to pay for the strings. I'm not a great musician. Hell, I'm not even very good at all...but I enjoy playing. I just can't believe the nerve of some of these try-hard musicians who work in some of these shops. Don't even get me started on the prices of equipment in some of these stores...I looked at a Vox semi-Accoustic in a store the other day, with a price tag of $3200!!! I asked to see it because I couldn't believe the price, and as the chick hands it to me, she informs that it plays OK and that the original bridge is missing. Great...you've got a guitar on your wall that's overpriced by $2000, even if all the built in effects work. - -DV _________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Jan 2002 16:16:46 -0600 From: "Mark Ertmer" Subject: Re: favorite guitar solos?

The aforementioned song, which is very doo-woppish and "Spicks And Specks." Overall the style ranges from doo-wop to Beatle-style mid-'60s pop to the kind of pleasant harmony pop they were known for around the time of "New York Mining Disaster 1941," "To Love Somebody" and "Massachusetts." There are some rather surprising beat-style numbers like "To Be Or Not To Be," "Claustrophobia," "You Wouldn't Know," and "Can It Be I'm In Love With You." The latter two songs sound a bit like Gerry & The Pacemakers, while the first one is rather Stones-ish. There's a very good version of "Everyday I Have To Cry" which I think may have been a minor Aussie hit for the group, and the disc ends with a version of "Turn Around Look At Me" that still pales next to the Vogues definitive take. Obviously, the cover photo shows the disco-era Bee Gees and there's little in the way of liner notes. What do you expect for $7.99? Personally, I think there could be a market for a CD of pre-fame Bee Gees recordings. I really do. They are probably more popular than they've been since the disco era ended. The debut UK album "The Bee Gees 1st" isn't a bad album either. Nothing from that album appears on the budget CD.

I bought 'em right when they came out. So you're all probably right about subsequent pressings changing to reg'lar old boring black PVC. But mine definitely aren't promos. Got 'em new and sealed. In a record store that wouldn't have even known how to go about re-selling used stuff. Mike F.< I got these when they first came out too, but I just rechecked and the only volumes I have on white vinyl are 6,7, 11, 12 and 13. I agree with Dr.Mindburger that maybe a certain number of each pressing were on white wax. For the last 3 volumes (11 thru 13) they changed the generic sleeve design to look like a Wand company sleeve - orange stars (instead of gold) and black stripes on a white background. The last coupla Mindrocker volumes were particularly hard to acquire - - at least in the UK; I ended up getting a German collector friend to find them for me.

Good one! Also dig Beck's solo on "Shapes of Things" and Beck/Page "Stroll On", many other Beck solos. And whoever plays the gtr on Commander Cody + Lost Planet Airmen's version of "Hot Rod Lincoln". Jorma Kaukonen's solo on "Somebody to Love". And the guitar player's solo on Freddie and the Forgone Conclusion's "(You're Just A" Waste Of My Time". Not that the solo is fantastic-it's fine, but the fuzz sound on that record is pure gold! A must for neo 45 collectors! All-round great record. And Fang's solo (or the session guy who did it in the studio?) on "Just Like Me". There's a few.... Dr. Mindburger celebrates a birthday today (Jan. 4th). My age is the same as the title of a Chocolate Watchband lp. How old am I? The first person to post the answer wins the ego gratification gained from being the first person to post the answer.

Right !, tho' havin' heard some of his "work" with Manowar, I think it's save to say that he's heavily dependent on the right surroundings.... Having seen the man play live for the first time recently I was surprised at with how much pleasure and sheer joy he still squeezes out all of his fretwork... OK, here's some more personal stringbuster faves: Captain Sensible, Chuck Berry, Steve Cropper, Roger McGuinn, Scotty Moore, Hans Ostlund, Johnny Ramone, Tony Slug, Deniz Tek, Johnny Thunders, Agnus Young, etc....
