DIZZY BITCH-IN THE PINK

 

 

I saw this lp, in a used record store a few months back and was too embarrassed to buy it..

I would stick to looking for indie hard rock/metal lps, there is a big market for indie releases, most were only released in limited amounts and from my EBAY experience, most of mine have sold from $50.00 to 150.00 over the past year or so. Alot of the time the more unknown the band is, the better it sells. Most of the time I only pay $1.00 to $5.00 each, so I'm not out too much if it's not a seller

here's a few I have been looking for over the years:

Defender "2 N Fro"

Destroyer "Optimun DSI"

Fly By Night "Zoo Road"

Jack of Diamonds "Dodge City"

Tantrum "Trenton City Murders"

Versylus

WW III "Intensive Care" 45

Pegasus "A Heartbeat Awat" 45

Pumphouse S/T

Mask "Heavy What"

Metalwolf

Able Kane "stelin the Show"

I picked up a lp awhile back called Tranzit "Necessary Love".....the cover looked metal, black backround with winged logo, wasn't much band info or band photo on lp, when I got home and threw it on the turntable......it was what I would call Spanish disco....lucky I only payed a buck for it...

I have been looking for the Bricklin cd for years, doesn't come up too often..

I was talking with a guy over the weekend about the Taken "Smell the Groove" cd (which has been on my most wanted list forever), and he said that Dean was in a group called Dead Serious that put out a cd in 1993 that was very similar to Taken, at first I thought he was talking about Afterlife (which was in a totally different direction than Taken)......but, he said it wasn't the Afterlife cd which he said sucked.

Does anyone know anything about Richard's Dean 1993 cd called Dead Serious???

Mrs Junky and I went to a Cranberry festival in Bordentown N.J. I stopped in THE RECORD COLLECTOR and picked these up:

 

PAW-DEATH TO TRAITERS

MORDRED-THE NEXT ROOM

WINGER-MILES AWAY (Single)

JAGGED EDGE U.K.-FUEL FOR YOUR SOUL

SLOUCH-WHY BOTHER ? for $2.00 I'll give it a spin

Hey, I picked up......Slouch...Why Bother.....over the weekend at a flea market....I havn't got around to playing it yet....

FAITH OR FEAR Bassist Dies After Suffering Apparent Heart Attack On Stage - Sep. 14, 2009

Clarence "C.J." Jenkins, bassist for the popular Philadelphia-based thrash-metal band FAITH OR FEAR, died Sunday (September 13) after suffering an apparent heart attack during the group's performance at the city's Arts, Music and Antiques Festival.

Jenkins, 50, collapsed around 2:45 p.m. as the band performed under a tent on High Street, said FAITH OR FEAR guitarist Chris Bombeke.

FAITH OR FEAR Bassist Dies After Suffering Apparent Heart Attack On Stage - Sep. 14, 2009

Clarence "C.J." Jenkins, bassist for the popular Philadelphia-based thrash-metal band FAITH OR FEAR, died Sunday (September 13) after suffering an apparent heart attack during the group's performance at the city's Arts, Music and Antiques Festival.

Jenkins, 50, collapsed around 2:45 p.m. as the band performed under a tent on High Street, said FAITH OR FEAR guitarist Chris Bombeke.

Jenkins, of Newport, was rushed to South Jersey Healthcare Regional Medical Center in Vineland, where he was later pronounced dead, said his sister, Karen Connors.

FAITH OR FEAR was in the midst of a comeback after reuniting last year.

The band released the CD "Instruments of Death" in June.

Sunday's performance was FAITH OR FEAR's first in its hometown of Millville in about 20 years, Bombeke said.

The band was nearly finished with its 30-minute set when Jenkins collapsed, according to Bombeke, who added that he and other bystanders performed CPR on the bassist until rescuers arrived.

"I don't think FAITH OR FEAR would have even been a name to talk about without C.J.," Bombeke said. "We never had another bass player."

Jenkins worked at Musikraft LLC, a Landisville-based company that makes necks and bodies for guitars and basses.

FAITH OR FEAR rose to prominence in the late 1980s after releasing the album "Punishment Area".

The band, which had started out rehearsing in a chicken coop, went on a national tour, but split up in 1991 without releasing another record.

FAITH OR FEAR's original lineup — minus guitarist Merritt Gant — reunited last year, playing shows in the Philadelphia area.

The band was considering a tour of Germany, Japan and South America — countries where there's been a thrash-metal revival — in 2010, Bombeke said, adding that he hasn't decided if he'll continue with FAITH OR FEAR.

not only a great cd, but an awesome live group, they did a reunion show at a benefit about 4 years back and they still kicked ass...

Sounds like a good time, I saw Friends of Bill Wilson, a few years back, the name threw me off, but they were pretty damm good..

looks like he is going back toa more hard rock style, with Jimmy Marchiano of LeCompt/Angora, and Johnny Dee BF/Doro in the band, for the longest time he wasn't even using the Dizzy Dean first name, calling himself Jacob or something like that, hopefully he's returning to his roots.

Just curious to see if I'm alone here.

 

When I go to a concert I go there to see the band, I thoroughly enjoy the show with a few beers and then I go home. As much as I enjoy the artist and the music, the last thing in the world that I want to do on the night is wait around and have an awkward conversation with who I'm sure is generally a group of wonderful gents... but in the end, they're just a bunch of dudes I don't know.

 

NOW, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying this is a bad thing to want to meet them - it's cool that people love their idols and want to talk to their favourite bands... and I'm sure a lot of bands really enjoy and appreciate it too. But just for yourself personally, how do you roll?

 

Me personally; I'm very shy, I hate crowded situations, I actually don't idolize anyone on this planet, regardless of how much I might like a person's music or sexual appearance, I don't like awkward situations and I don't know, it's just not for me.

 

I know the majority of people on this board love catching up with the band after the show. Any fellow hermit crabs amongst y'all?

I'm with you Geoff, I never had the desire to meet any artist or bands after I had seen them played. Just seeing them play was always enough for me. Over the years I have got to know a lot of local NJ/PA bands from going to clubs and seeing them play since the early 80's, but, I never went out of my way to meet or try to talk with them, same with national bands, I'm just not an autograph type of person or one to chit chat.

Do you know what Michael Jackson & Farrah Fawcett are getting for Christmas this year ?

Patrick Swayze.

Yes I am going straight to Hell !

what was the turnout like?

looking at those stage shots it looks lkie there's no-one at the front of the stage.

 

Well... I only took pictures at the first Wildstreet show which happened to be the very first band to play the whole festival. Thursday at noon... Alot of people hadn't arrived yet. Thursday was the day that the "heavier" bands played (Overkill, Metal Church, and Anthrax). When Wildstreet closed the festival on Sunday night after Twisted Sister they had a very good crowd.

Any others photos from the rest of the festival?

Just watching the previews, makes you feel a bit creepy....

My favorite espisode this year so far, I almost pissed myself laughing when Paulie wacked himself in the head...

people always can't believe it when I tell them I never have seen TOP GUN, ET is another one,

I picked up XALT "HISTORY" over the weekend, pretty good, I'm not a big Christian Metal fan, but it was a solid cd.

Also picked up, 20/20 BLIND "Never Far", havn't played it yet, any views on this cd?

I picked up Fast Lady "The Money Shot"...a few days back... a UK band that calls themself "Mutant yorkshire poodle machine def leppard mullet bad tattoo Rock"....with song titles like...Daddy of Vice City....Living Life with One Arm...Sweet Pea...I hope they are a parody bad....

 

Anyone ever hear of them?

These guys?

Just heard a little sample there. Sounds a bit unpleasant. Is it any good?

That's them, a bit unpleasant is putting it mildly, I only made it thru about 4 songs before taking it off....Now I know why it only cost 2 bucks.

Last year at a Heaven & Hell show, which fell on my birthday, my gf paid $45.00 for a concert shirt for me. I felt bad seeing her spend that much, I think I would have passed on the t shirt myself.

Taking weekly trips to the orginal Rock & Roll Heaven booth on Rt 18, back in 81/82, every week they had new imports or demos from then unknown bands, and fanzines like KickAss Monthy and a few others I can't remember, and started going to shows they promoted, I remember Anvil even played at the flea market one week. Virgin Steel/ ManoWar....Venom with Metallica openning at the Paramont in Staten Island, Raven, Overkill, .....then living in the South Jersey/ Philly area you had a whole different scene with group like the Dead End Kids, Cinderilla, Krank, Tangier, Metalwolf, Pierce,Funhouse, Ivory Tower, LeCompt.....I could travel 45 minutes from my house either north or south and see a different band just about any night of the week....I hate to say it, but, those were the days...
