  • Friggin great cover....

  • My buddy Mark Neil produced a couple of their albums. These guys are great!

  • their so damn Cool

  • A spoof of a guitar-rock classic that became a guitar-rock classic.

    It doesn't get any better than that.

  • As opposed to having matching suits , wrestling masks and choreographed stage moves. I have no idea what the IQ of LS stage suits are though!

  • That's a George Harrison quote. The book also said "Harrison has explained it's origins in the group's joking references to The Shadows. Stahdows-style bands had matching ties and handkerchiefs and smart suits, with lead guitar players wearing specs to look like Buddy Holly and employing a funny stage walk while they were playing. The Beatles, by contrast, were leather clad rockers who favoured Chuck Berry and Little Richard" Los Straitjackets kick ass though! - :)

  • From Beatles Gear by Andy Babuik p. 51:

    "So we used to always joke about the Shadows hit 'Apache'. John and I were just bullshitting one day, and he had this new little Rickenbacker with a funny kind of wobble bar on it. He started off 'Cry for a Shadow' and I just came in, and we made it up right on the spot. Then we started playing it a couple nights, and it got on record somehow. But it was really a joke" .

  • I truly hope that people are giving credit where credit is due !!! My best friend Kevin from RI is the originator of the "Cry For A Shadow" guitar tabs.

  • That bass line kicks ass. Eddie Angel Rules!....

    Better ask somebody.

    Anybody got footage of the Vienna, VA/DC Wolf-Trap show?
