[hispaniccheese]

I would love to here a clear version of this!

[Watchman71]

Outstanding



[jmummot]

So great

[PostPunkFan]

RAWK. 

[chainrelease]

They blow me away! Where are they now???

[shaftsbury94]

white stripes, you took one hell of a beating.

[ottofrings]

How on earth have I missed these guys,been in to punk all my adult life,stumbled across a link in guitar world, absolute class. Thanks for the post....

[qazxsw9871]

fucking fantastic. what is it with cleveland in the 70s? must have been a pretty desperate time and place.

[ashetonpop]

What Excitement - they blow anything else away!!!!

[gwdad]

Crankin machine, buckeye style.

[MrRDiggity]

this is why I laugh when they punk started in NY

[MountainGoatt]

WOW!!! LOVE THAT SOUND

[lenn75eX]

great stuff.

[quintincollins]

Dada art noise-ists

[TheStrangeSound]

Its sad while these guys are underrated, crappy bands like Blink-182 get all the press for being punk.

P.S Still waiting for the Electric Eels gig footage, Cleveland.

[moptop66]

Sure.

[TheStrangeSound]

Is that you agreeing or using a comeback? Anyway, these guys still rock!

[jackshaw]

Dead Boys, Rocket from the Tombs, The Cramps, Devo, Pere Ubu, Electric Eels...1970's Ohio did so much for rock and roll.

[andychrist916]

@jackshaw ahem, Ivy was from sacramento, ca. but you are correct about ohio being a rockin state.

[jackshaw]

You are correct sir. Although I'd wager that, in 1973, more people in Akron, Oh. knew her as "Poison Ivy".

[theonlytruepunk]

Ohio and Detroit and NYC

[JimmyDFFDBorneo]

@jackshaw

Devo? More like weak alternative rock.

[jackshaw]

@JimmyDFFDBorneo DEVO fought for your civil rights.

[PirateBC]

@JimmyDFFDBorneo

more like one the best/better 'new wave' bands.

watch?v=KJxCZDn3SnQ&feature=re­lated they have a post-punky side to them as well

[JimmyDFFDBorneo]

@PirateBC I don't like new wave or post punk, but what ever.

[PirateBC]

@JimmyDFFDBorneo yeh ... your liking is not required... just correcting the alt rock attribute

only mentioned post punk because I wrongly assumed if you were watching an electric eels video you would at least respect proto and/or post punk

[JimmyDFFDBorneo]

@PirateBC Aw poor bitch! And honestly, I see no connection between the electric eels and devo at all.

[PirateBC]

@JimmyDFFDBorneo You comment as if I was attacking or defending something...

However, now that your getting all bum hurt over connections I never brought up here it is:

Electric eels = '72-'75

Devo = '74-current

Both playing music, which in retrospect, could be seen as influence on punk.

That's all I have got to say. Don't bother getting your panties even further in a knot over nothing because I wont reply.

[stupididiot13]

they picked up the ball and ran with it!!!!

[polistyrenejassband]

in my mind punk rock doesnt mean individuality or rebeling it means conformity i bet the electric ells would have also hated all the so called punk rockers

[theonlytruepunk]

Yeah and Poly Styrene would have hate it too...

[polistyrenejassband]

my name is in reference to a cleveland band called the styrenes not fucking x ray specs

[theonlytruepunk]

Whoa...well. excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me....hahahahaha.

[polistyrenejassband]

i just get x ray specs comments all the time

[theonlytruepunk]

I understand. I have heard of the Styrenes...but never heard them.

[polistyrenejassband]

they are on youtube only the mike hudson stuff though

[crowbarftw]

lol narrow minded idiots. It doesnt matter how you wear your hair, its whats inside your head. Look at the Dead Kennedies. Great stuff!

[KoivuTheHab]

* Dead Kennedys

[TipToeQuickly1]

reminds me off the stooges

[badamj2000]

My grandmother likes this band and she has dementia

[LustForHate]

PUNK!

[polistyrenejassband]

it makes me laugh when people call these guys punk they are on there own wave length best song i dont think thats metal hair its more derelict hair

[Stumblefuck]

Idiot. It's punk.

[moonlily1]

i'd never heard of these guys before...don't approve of the metal hair, but they sound ok,

[LustForHate]

Shut up narrow minded idiot.

[MrPotatoesLatkie]

@moonlily1 They were from 1975, when Heavy Metal meant something other than it would later on. Their hair was the rock-n-roll style of the day.

[JimmyDFFDBorneo]

@MrPotatoesLatkie

There was a reason why Jethro Tull won the first heavy metal grammy.

[dank2791]

sooooooooo fucking raw.

[chainrelease]

Unbelievable!!! And they temed up with the equally amazing Rocket From the Tombs! What Creative power, WOW!!!!

[modernjazzman]

I own arround 25,000 lps and had never never listened to anything so powerful, young, yarrhrhghg I can destroy the whole universe now! Oh, it´s the fucking shit.

[gloubloux]

Raw fucking Punk Rock

[FatwNker]

There's no proto in punk.

[theonlytruepunk]

This is the shit!!!!! Awesome

[thirdshift47]

Easily the best Punk band of all time--and yet criminally underdocumented by the mainstream rock press.

Been waiting for someone to post their shit for the longest.Thanks.

[LustForHate]

ULTIMATE PUNK BAND!

[blopsblops]
