My young friend LouderThanLife informs me that Ms. Ivy is playing a Gibson Melody Maker, with a Bigsby Tremolo bar, modified with Humbucker pick-ups!!
actually upon closer examination it apears to be some sort of modified rickenbacker, i just played a melody maker today, and i don't think that's her guitar, though i think it might be a rickenbacker of some kind based on the headstock
Yep, think it's a "Ricky". Saw an early poster of the Beatles today (Pete Best was still the drummer), and John Lennon is holding the same guitar! Didn't know there were Rickies without the characteristic white flash on the body.
Thanks for the compliment, MmeLEnfer. I'd like to time travel too. My itinerary would be something like this: Seeing the Brooklyn Dodgers play the Yankees at Ebbetts Field, seeing Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent at the Bristol Hippodrome, and, finally, catching The Who at Woodstock!
Absotively Brother! I'll grab a pair for Eddie and Gene in Bristol, April 16, 1960, you get us a pair for the Ramones concert of your choice. Unlimited seating on the Crazee Time Travel Train dude!
i love your sense of humour -- sadly i was talking serious the things which will never come true, or only when you and I leave this fucking world)) any time if you happen to be in Moscow just let me know (actually i booked tickets for motorhead gig on december 19 this year in moscow if you come you ll be my guest tickets and booze will be my treat!!!!!
I like your attitude TBR!!! Thanks for your generous offer but don't think I will be able to make the Moscow gig! When we get together, we can re-live the 1972 Canada-Soviet hockey series. My dad and I were at the Toronto game. Valery Kharlamov was the best winger I ever saw!
If I went back, I'd have t see the Cramps, the Clash, the Gun Club, Richard Hell & The Voidoids, the Pogues, the Velvet Underground and Ziggy Stardust-David Bowie, and Jerry Lee Lewis
No problem MmeLEnfer; lots of room on the Crazee Time Travel Train. Unlimited seating, and it's all first class; Lou Reed and David Bowie too.....interesting!
At the end of a show in Orlando, FL he jumped off the stage and his boot got my face. It was the sweetest fat lip I ever got. Thank you Lux. Be in peace<3
saw them in Glasgow 1986, Lux was a wee bit under the influence and tried to talk in a (bad!!!) Glasgow accent between songs, he he. One of the best and sadly missed
90% of all teens would go into a panic if Miley Cyrus was on a 100 foot building about to jump... copy and paste this if you are of the 10% who yelled "Jump Bitch!"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA HARDY FUCKING HAR! YEAH, MUSIC IS A FUCKING WASTE NOW A DAYS, yeah...uh?...I think I need to pull a fucking Gihad on the entire music industry, wish me luck! And oh, Rest in Peace Lux, and Poison Ivy, I fucking love ya......MAY ELVIS FUCKING CHRIST LIVE FOREVER!!
I thought this was the live footage at first, and the track sure is the same one as is on 'Female', but if you look closely at this and 'Potentate' you can see Lux will be jumping around in one scene and the next he's laying on a couch with a girl on his back. I believe these were clips the Cramps used to promote 'Female' on its release.

Love you lux! Thanks for being soooo real! RIP, king of sleaze. Hope you´re poppin' bop pills with Elvis now... With all love, you REAL human being. Your presence will allways be warmly remembered!
I was looking for a cure to a stomach complaint and I got this shit!What is this crap?
P.s. You bunch of pretenders I lived this,the gun club,the meteors and of course the stray cats,violent times full of idiots taking grade A and prescription drugs destroying their minds!!!
Who am I,where am I and where have I been for the last 25 years?
I wanna leave a happy memory when i go, i wanna leave something to let the whole world know that the rock n roll daddy has gone passed on but my bones will keep on rockin long after ive gone...too fuckin right son, sleep tight....its the only song to play this sad night....thank you so much Lux and strength and love to Ivy
Obviously so, idiot. Apart from the fact that the Stripes do not "suck" as you put it, they are direct followers of the blues-punk, no-bass style pioneered by the Cramps and continued by the Gun Club. Cheers.
