blatant rip of The Kinks' I Need You!. But that's what made these thousands of garage bands of every city in every state of the U.S., special. They added something that nowhere else in the world, neither Liverpool or London included, had. A SPECIAL, GRITTY SOUND, taken from Kinks, Yardbirds, Who, Stones, the Mops, etc,etc THEY MADE THERE OWN sound. The Seeds, Count Five,Electric Prunes,etc, lesser known, i.e this band, they ALL rocked. and there music still.*A great write up.Thanks Stefano.
@merseymain I agree, but the Mops? I seriously doubt the Mops were of any influence in the U.S. at that point. But yea, all those groups brought their own primal slant to the proceedings, which made it so special.
@merseymain That's true about 'I Need You'. You're also right that what they added to that basic riff makes this song unique. The Kinks could seriously rock out when they wanted to but they never had as big and fat a fuzztone sound as this. It sounds like they've got 2 fuzzboxes on everything! Who would believe they were the same nice clean-cut boys who did 'Hey Baby (They're Playing Our Song)'?
