Music! Mayhem! Madness!

Sid Vicious (Sex Pistols) - My Way. This song appears on the video "The Great Rock N Roll Swindle." It is an interesting video and quite different, check it out. Sid Vicious never impressed me with his sonic aptitude, but he had energy and did raunchy well. This is one of his better recordings and if you like sloppy fun, you'll like this.

GWAR - The Salaminizer. This nugget is off GWAR'S "Scumdog of the Universe" album. It is the first track from album and certainly has curious lyrics. The opening riff is pure metal awesomeness. Overall song is fun, but if you take the time to listen or read to the lyrics, you'll be amused or disgusted.

Music! Mayhem! Madness!

Ninja's, fat troll, and shitty special effects = Kick ass music video. I always enjoyed this song, and it is a late tribute.

Dwarves - Wish That I Was Dead.  The way to summarize them is catchy, and not to be taken too serious punk band. I always found it funny, but some people seem to be offended quite easily. This is a perfect example of the Dwarves. I'm a fan of Del Shannon and this song is dedicated to him, go figure...

Comments welcome!

Crash Course: Sid Vicious

Sid Vicious was the bass player for the Sex Pistols, but may be more recognized for killing his girlfriend Nancy Spungen. Sid wasn't noted for being a standout musician, but rather for his "style." . I enjoy a few of his songs and they're all covers. Recommended Songs(He's singing): C'mon Everybody, Something Elese, and My Way

These Songs are found on the Sex Pistols - The Great Rock N' Roll Swindle

  

 Sid Vicious died February 2, 1979 of a drug overdose at the age of 21

Misfits - Sream! The Misfits with singer Michale Graves brought some magic back into the group. Danzig had left, but Graves was a great replacement. If you love B horror movies this video is right up your alley.

Opening with demented laughter(Thanks to Am I Going Insane), wah-wah bass and then busting in to a nice *Amazing* groove. Ozzy is giving his all on this track and he kicks ass . I find the mellow/breakdown at the end of the song to be refreshing and catch Ozzy being reflective in his lyrics. Perfection.

Hanoi Rocks - Tragedy. So the legend says that Guns and Roses ripped off Hanoi Rocks, is it true? Well, the introduction to the song sounds quite familiar, but other then that they are two complete monsters. Great band, but with more polish they would of been huge. Thanks to Vince Neil the band was never the same. RIP Razzle.

NOFX - Lori Meyers. Fun. Topic = Not so fun.

Vinyl Madness!

Ear bleeding, brain destroying, heart stopping sounds from the always angry band Black Flag. The album attacks you from the start with "My War" and damn it holds you for the whole record. Although I prefer their faster sounding tracks; the Sabbath inspired sludge songs are good, but not great. This nugget should be added to any music collection.

Reissued: October 17, 1990 Label: SST Records

Standout tracks - Forever Time,  My War, I Love You, Can't Decide, The Swinging Man

Vinyl Madness!

This was the first Misfits album I had ever heard. It is my still my favorite with good reason. The melody of the songs  wraps you in so you'll  be singing  bizarre shit without even realizing it. The Misfits sound is raw and not for everyone. If you are expecting a super produced album, you're in the wrong place. It's cheap on vinyl and worth at least checking out. Shitty Elvis all the way!

Reissued: October 17, 1990 or 1989 (conflicting dates.) Label: Plan 9, Caroline Records

Standout tracks - Hybrid Moments (My favorite!), Angel Fuck,  Some Kinda Hate, Where Eagles Dare, Halloween, She, American Nightmare
