I was hanging round their turf a few years before they took off. The talent there was astounding but nobody knew about it.
I'm pretty sure I hit on the big redhead during one of my drunken rampages in an Augusta nightclub in 1973.
Their big influence was Talking Heads. Look up the producer...

Re: David Bowie
hit me like an asteroid first time I heard it on the radio
thought I was hallucinating
I think it is his best but I'm prejudiced
some things make life worth the trouble after all
even when you lose like Godzilla
thanks
oh come on everyone's heard of us-
I Wanna Put a Snake in Your Mummy
words and music - Dusty Toombs
by Apophis & Jolly Jaffar
(intro - three parts}
(intro)
(intro)
>shofar horns, fanfare> spot on me
I don't drink Whisk
I aint no hump
Got a cobra in my hat
I'm the Lord of the...
I meant play some notes from the song - most forget lyrics but always remember a good tune
thats my picture from when I was in Apophis and His Jolly Jaffar
you may have heard our single "I Wanna Put a Snake in Your Mummy"
we opened for GWAR
I was trying to find what I thought was an Aldo Nova song once
called a radio station played some notes on the guitar
had them stumped but apparently they enjoy such snipe hunts - got back to me that it was Fire on High by ELO
- try that route
if they can identify an instrumental they can...
whuh
it can't be
don't tell me - ya mean
can't be true nah
no way....
your avatar...
is her dropping the green thing on stage?
I thought she was just eeuuuuwwwwwwwwwwwwww
na come on I wasn't born yesterday
my guess would be the usual-
signed with a big predatory label - got 2 smash hits and the execs started howling for more - had them do every piece of crap song some veep liked...
the guys got tired of being dragged into a studio to do hogcrap like the Nebraska Hogtacklers Song and rebelled -...
Re: 40 years of great Funk!
tut tut woman ya slanders me unfairly I say
I said I love Terry Knight
and GFR was like really cool Dudes let's get it on cha cha cha
I got that glow plug installed in my hand at Farner's request
I walked around in the crowd grabbing teenyboppers by the butt...
Re: 40 years of great Funk!
I love Terry Knight.
For his contribution to Rock he should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Impaled on a BC Rich Warlock.
- big end first
- to the tuners
- with the mummy of Michael Jackson shoved down his gullet until only a sequined glove can be seen...
Re: 40 years of great Funk!
Grand Funk Railroad
The Teenybopper's wetdream. The same bunch who brought us really groovy stuff like the Jackson Five.
Mark Farner used to play guitar on his knees like a big phallus while little girls in training bras with wire teeth went nuts.
It hurt his...
truth of the matter is we're all just a bunch of dumb cattle looking for a patch of grass somebody hasn't pooped on yet
there's some like it that way and poop as much as possible (see Rap and Hip Hop and _________ <viewer choice>)
fortunately there's Muses that take pity on the herd now and...
no mas - someday you'll move up to a garage
Rock took off with Alan Freed - a visionary working from a radio station ignited an entire new industry
takes another Freed to see what is possible and get it rolling - the one who sees what nobody else does and has the stuff to make things...
Every decade had horrible stuff.
If I wanted to put you to a merciless death of agonizing madness I'd lock you in a room with Freddy and the Dreamers playing until your brainpan exploded.
I have no doubt that somewhere in a garage some kid is working on something that will set it all off...
Poco had wheels for a while there (can't believe people still have vinyl).
The grudge against the 80s always intrigued me. Some of what are considered hard rockers like Neil Young loved the 80s sound.
As I recall what happened was what took place in the mid 70s. Some of the big dogs of...
Very true.
I was a rotten player in my first years but I got good gigs. That is the odd nature of the beast.
You could be a great player, have good moves, even your own superior material and never get a shot - while a total bozo got TV gigs.
In fact if all you were was a good player you...
Re: Felix Cavaliere show
Warren Zevon got his start at White Whale - when it went belly up (atrocious pun) he was out in the cold and had to start all over. A couple other small names and that was it.
After it went down K&V bought their songs for a song (ugh I got it bad today) from the...
Not ragging on you bro. Your examples show how desperate rock was becoming when major acts had to do disco to get any sales.
I can't think of an act that didn't start as a joke band, it's where you learned the craft.
The payoff came when an exec heard your demo and sent a promo man out with it...
Re: Felix Cavaliere show
No doubt about it they had stage presence - Kaylan proved that by shoving Mr.T on stage and getting him to loosen up and not get moidalized - I'm still in awe of that.
However they did one of the dumbest things I ever saw a made act do - they were the only act White...
Oh yes Disco did hurt rock.
I went to some Disco bars and they BOOED if the DJ tried to play rock and roll. Disco dingbats hated rock and roll.
Rock stations began going to Disco formats and without that outlet a lot fewer upcoming rock groups had a vehicle for getting their music out...
What nearly destroyed rock was Disco Vomit - it was a 70s creation.
The 80s thankfully killed off that abomination and rock began a slow recovery. The 80s get a bad rap - all I have to remember is John Travolta and leisure suits.
Re: What Are Your 80s Favorites?
Gotta put in a word for Billy Idol.
Rebel Yell - White Wedding - Hot in the City - the kind of elemental rock that never gets old - and Eyes Without a Face shows his range.
If Rebel Yell doesn't rear up your rock and roll soul you might be a butterfly...
