My dad was a big fan back when Snail was playing in Santa Cruz. Our band actually played this song at a party one time. He will be excited to know they are together again.
The debut Snail is one of my alltime favourite albums! Brilliant guitar work! Fantastic to hear that the band are back together. I've got the live album on CD, and fthe first two on vinyl, and I've been playing all three albums on various radio shows I've hosted / co-hosted here in South Africa since the early 80's! Great to hear that they're available on CD! Any new album on the cards? Thanks for the FANTASTIC music!!
Man Oh Man. This song brings back some cherished memories of a time when rock music was the answer to all of my youthful problems. Sure miss those days. Great song!
I still have both record albums they released. Used to go to most of their gigs in Santa Cruz. They were one of the best bands I ever had the privilege to see. Thanks for the great post.
Hey that's cool Ken , give credit where credit is due ... it's a nicely done solo ... really happy to have it on CD FINALLY !!! as my vinyl LP was declared unplayable many moon s ago
SNAIL is on facebook now, they are back together and playing in the Northern Cal area. Keep in touch by logging into the Facebook site. There are liks to the CD's and much more
AWESOME. I had two, I think it was the only 2, albums they put out in the late 70's if my feeble brain remembers right. I got them at a discount and bought them on a whim. Best purchse I made music wise for years. I sadly lost both albums along with the rest of the vinyl somewhere in the 50 plus times I moved as an adult. Sigh.
SNAIL is now on FACEBOOK. Become a fan. Bob O'Neill , Ron Fillmore (The original drummer) Guido Valverde (Bass) have been rehearsing since Spring 2009, and have started hitting the stages as of Summer 2009. Keep up with upcoming dates through the FACEBOOK site.
Great Band, Fantastic Harmonies...Play this All the Time, their BEST Song in my Book.
Seen them Play Live in Boise, Idaho at Hap's 121 Club many Years ago. Packed House & packed Dance Floor. They Played "The Joker" Twice that night. Would Like a CD, but haven't found one here.
Wish they had Played at Sturgis for the Harley Rally.
Awsome! That's great! I'll be watching this space for your CD. BTW, I noticed on the LP, it said that you guys used an Aphex Aural Exiter; that's a big one in my book! Always thought the album sounded great--good mix / master. Thanx Bob!
C'mon now that aint really you replying is it Bob? If so then youd be able to answer this question. . . .I once gave you something and told you "Just use it when you wash your car". Many times after that that ,you told me you had washed your car. . . . so what was it ? Not that anybody ever is not truthful over the internet ot anything . . . my apologies if this turns out to really be you Bob,
This is really Bob, he used my acct to post this comment. I will pass your msg along to him. He is currently at a 4th of July gig in Angels Camp with Ron Fillmore, Snails orig drummer. I'm sure he'll enjoy yr msg. By the way this is Judy, Ciao.
It is on Cd Bob i have it and i agree great song. I grew up with this band sneaking in to bars to hear them! I would love to know where they are know...trixie
Boy's I hate to say it, but hearing this song again makes me want to go to one of those wild field partys we use to have in Jefferson county,cold kegs and fine weed. I want to go back and do it all again!
Rock on!
