SWEET JEEBUZ!!!

 

[Mr.Segment]

Cool, eh? I like it a lot. Almost growing a beard just listening to it.

 

[Laurent Bigot]

Thanks, it's pretty great indeed. Not really pre-punk being from 78, but it has the right sound and style. And pretty cool to cover Them in '78.

 

[Michael W]

That shit is awful. Typical crappy hard rock from the '70s. What's next - the Ted Nugent revival?

It is anything but typical 70s hard rock. That is why it is great. Ted Nugent on the other hand is absolutely horrible.

While I despise the MAN Ted Nugent and his bullshit-persona, some tracks on Call Of The Wild is actually pretty cool.

Enjoy, fellahs. I'll stick with '60's garage punk. There are still treasures to be mined out there. For me, '70's punk is diluted '60's punk. I never got in the Ramones, et all, because it sounded like watered down '60's punk to my ears. There is more out there to be heard.

I cannot possibly agree with you more ratfinkie!...granted i was a toddler at the time The Ramones/Clash/Pistols etc. were "conceptualizing the iconography" of punk or whatever, and I unashamedely admit to loving pretty much literally all the music 70's punks hated...nonetheless, imho, the major 70s rock fables that need to be dispelled once and for all are the ones that imply that the majority of the late 70's punk stuff is really all that more raw than any of the 'Bonehead'/private press hard rock, and (most of all) that it could even be equally as raw as 60s punk/garage - all those well known 70 punk bands that Bangs, Marcus, and their ilk creamed over back then all recorded pristinely produced albums in major studios used the same Marshall stack type arena rock gear ZEP/SABB, etc. used and they all made sure to calculatedly sculpt their image & "stance" down to the last tiny piece of dirt under their finger nails(or in the Pistols case, their manager did that for them)...sorry for the negativity folks, i know alotta you love/lived the 70s punk era, but i get pretty inspired whenever i find anyone with opinions like that of ratfinkie here, one who seems eternally unimpressed by almost the entire late 70's punk scene, that stuff is imho probably the most boring music ever therefore my least favorite music genre, period. (btw, imho in general the 1977-2005 'post modern' era of music/art is pretty much totally uminimpressive when compared to all that came before)

 

[Lee de Parade]

Well, you two are both apparently out of you wits. Good luck with that. :)

Well, if you don't like punk and you do not like 70s hard rock, then these 45s are not for you. Discussion over really. You will also miss the distinction between these and say, the music of Mr.Nugent. Because there is one. This topic is just meant as a sidebar on a forum that exists for the love of garage music.

For what it's worth I do not view these type of 45s as punk. Neither are they comparable to releases bands did on major labels (Bang, Damnation etc) I enjoy them for what they are. Hard rock done private basement style. Primitive, bleak, fuzzed out, distorted.

I also post in the vague hope anyone else is interested because it is damn hard to come across new leads on 45s of this kind. Secrecy runs rampant it seems, so anything new brought forward is a solid bonus.

Soon got enough records for a forum comp now, was hoping to scrap one together this Easter & send them out old-style as cd-r's with covers. Both you and Mr.Ratfinkie are welcome to them, maybe you'll see the light

Thanks a lot. My formative years were in the mid-sixties. I'm stuck in a time warp, and I'm okay with that. I am currently living in a house that saw a lot of rock history. The Mummies, Dukes of Hamburg, and the Donnas all recorded in my kitchen. Music has always been a major part of my life. When I say there is more '60's music to be unearthed, I'm not kidding. We're now in the quartz mining phase of music sleuthing. The top soil has already been thoroughly sifted. Guys like Alec P. and Joey are my heroes. They live the music too. They also deliver the goods.

I appreciate that. I listen to everything. I also appreciate your hard work and willingness to share.

 

[ratfinkie]

I"M not about to knock anybody for their musical tastes, perhaps you'll learn that with maturity.

 

[Lee de Parade]

I was just kidding. I don't think I'll mature more than this..

 

[Mr.Segment]

Certainly not a disc to convert non-believers with, but this slipped through my hands yesterday. There are limits to what I want to spend on a G- record so I ended up with the downer 1st runner up title.

Anyone holding & loathing, I'm all ears!

Save me God, I'm speeding into hell!

IM A BELIEVER, totally love this record, though imho the b-side is better

 

[The Raven]

....to offset the negativity of my previous comment, and perhaps shed a light more specifically on my opinion of the so called 'Bonehead' genre(?), here's a list of records/bands i love that probably fit the uber macho mould of the 'B.C.'/'Michigan Meltdown' comps:

Stone Harbor - Rock N Roll Puzzle & Workin For The Queen
Mind Garage - Asphalt Mother
White Light - Cold Shot
The Ritual - Speed Freak
Death S.S. - '77 demos
Pentagram - First Daze l.p.
The Factory - High Blood Pressure
Loose Enz - Easy Rider
Vulcan - Meet Your Ghost l.p.
White Boy & The Average Rat Band's l.p.
Purple Sun - Doomsday Morning
Schizo - Schizo & The Little Girl
Ron Wray Light Show - Speed
Negative Space - Sunflower, Forbidden Fruit(one of the greatest ealry 70's punkers ever!), & their cover of The Pusher (which pretty much makes early Melvins/Flipper/etc. seem like bubblegum*)
St. Anthony's Fyre - Lone Soul Road (*ditto)
Concrete Rubber Band - Wicked
Dwarr - both his l.p.'s, though i guess he is only marginally a hard rock(?) type artist

If that's the kitchen I'm thinking about, I had quite a few breakfast in it ha ha.
