Ah yes, the Ramrods songbook of thinly plagarized tunes slightly lifted from "Raw Power." Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery when you don't have any original musical ideas.

[DeetroitRocker]

I will admit that Raw Power was the obvious mold, but damn, what a choice. At the time, with the exception of Detroit, The Stooges couldn't get anywhere, so those of us that loved them were quick to jump on this band.Still think the Ramrods shows I saw (Red Carpet, Velvet Hammer) were as exciting as anything I saw then or since. These guys owe you money or something?

[DeetroitRocker]

Peter wrote a bunch of good songs, and quite frankly I'd rather see him here and Dave back on bass, but if you know Peter (and it sounds like you do) you know it won't happen, so those of us that saw and loved this band are more than happy with the current lineup. Life's short, maybe Peter needs to extend a hand to the boys, and they back to him.

[iodizedsphincter]

The original guitarist for this band incredibly acknowledges that he wrote this lame, sleep inducing tune.

[ChrisDetroit]

Not bad, but nothing revolutionary and certainly nothing original.....punk rock happened at least a year and half later than NY, LA, or London. History doesn't lie but Detroit scenester scum does.

[DeetroitRocker]

It 'happened' a year later only because there wasn't anywhere to play. This band existed at the same time as much better known (and consideranly OLDER) New York bands who couldn't have carried their guitar cases. I saw them all but set The Red Carpet on fire.....YOU weren't there, I'd bet. As far as Norton being a poser, he was one of the world's true punks. Early on he rejected almost all of what'd come before him, and set out on his own. You think it was EASY being in a band like this in DET?

[iodizedsphincter]

Lead singer was/is an Iggy copycat on stage. True punk? I agree if you mean a "punk" in the prison system vernacular.

[DeetroitRocker]

EVERYONE stole from Iggy, esp in Detroit. In what way does that make you a bad person?

[aidsjello]

This is `70's schlock which wasn't good in 1977 and certainly not exhumed in 2008. Also, the singer is and always will be a poser and a fraud.
