It's all good. Now if I could just run my Guzzi exhaust through an Ampeg SVT I'd have some real bark!

"Hello, .... turned off .... old version"

 

It's not me, dammit...

Methinks you protest too much. Computer's got you sussed, Mikey

[mike wilson]

Not just the one. I'm building a new one at home and I couldn't get it to POST (beeps and stuff) for my life. Turns out the case was dropped in transit and the switch under the reset button was jammed on.....

 

All I have to do now is make Windows work the way I want it to.

 

Wouldn't life be so much more relaxed if _computers_ used valves?

Computers did use valves

I see Quazi-moto's got my favourite band up, Lux interior is more big twin than Iggy is imho, Iggy is more of a screaming two stroke Kawa H2 without silencers (and another favourite, seen him perform 6 times now)

 

but these guys are big twin to the core

The Cramps sound to me more like an oily, sweaty english vertical twin. They are a T110 that leaks on your pants.

Iggy is vicious, while the psychobilly band is more of white trash type.

Maybe it's their Englishness?

 

Ok, cross the Irish Sea: what about the Undertones (Here Comes the Summer, Teenage Kicks) and Stiff Little Fingers (Alternative Ulster)? Maybe still not visceral enough, plus they're just babies, we've moved from late sixties territory. Maybe that's ok now, as long as they use real valves? If we're shifting the time frame, I was considering Gordon Gano and the Violent Femmes??? Too folky for ya? Slippery slope – it'll be Showaddywady and Gary Glitter next. Yeah, back to '67

 

 

hehehee

[mike wilson]

I'm frightened to search for pictures of Gary Glitter.

It would be an arresting pursuit, I warrant.

[macguzzi]

Could be worse than double probation

maybe it's their whiteness ?

 

Sly's music also sounds like a Guzzi full throttle. with lots of stops and 10 dollars note bill foiled

[belfastguzzi]

I decided to post this, even though it's not from '69, cos:

1) it's a fairly Moto Guzzi type instrument

2) there is a Marshall stack behind it

3) it's not Iggy Pop

 

riding Guzzi, in the spring air, where cherry blossom wafts

 

Now I'm waiting for an appropriate moment to introduce the hurdy-gurdy video. Could there be a more Guzzi instrument than that?
