Brooks Sat, Dec 19, 2020, 8:22 AM to kiz Keeping w/ the VOL 4 theme, I recorded this V4 classic live in the jam room this week w/ one of those handheld Tascam things w/ the built in mics. Guitar was my pal Dave's Echotone w/ GFS pups, run thru a Pod Go into the power section of a Quilter 101 feeding a 1x12 Creamback loaded cab. I'm also on vocals, Kolton from Generic Hustle is on bass, with new guy Donovan on drums. EDIT - We've been getting together for fun a few times a month since October, kicking around some Sabs/Mountain/ZZ Top/Thin Lizzy/Metallica/Rick Springfield, etc

Ya know, Kiz asked if I liked the new cover, I thought it was "the Victim", I completely forgot about that pic, haha

Glad you liked it. My fave is The Church Within. Even better IMFO is the Spirit Caravan compilation The Last Embrace. I think Wino shoots himself in the foot by changing the name of the band each time he swaps up rhythm sections, as he's the main man (Vocals, guitar, songwriter).

this is really great, and timely;

Johnny this kicked up on my Pandora jazz channel, very cool version & lineup

yeah, I pretty much only spin their covers nowadays, or maybe ride the lightning

Holy crap I wore this album out in 9th grade. Went thru a brief punk listening phase w/ this, Ramones, Buzzcocks, and Telefones (local DFW band) back then.

new Sasquatch; new COC; Just watched a documentary on these guys, didn't know they were proggy on their earlier stuff (radio DJs 1st edited this 12 minute suite into the 3 minute tune we hear today on greatest hits albums), the horns remind me of my old band;

this thread is over 5 years old! I'm not typically into thrash stuff anymore but this vocal hook "its televised! its globalized!!" grabbed me; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WXBob7a9

The Poll Winners! I used to have one of their cds

Thx to RobB!!!!

Listening to this on my drive to work today; to my ear it sounds a LOT like early Sabbath; the riff, the sloppy jazzy drums, the vocal melody, the production, and esp @ the end the double overdubbed different solos. if it was an SG w/ a little more gain instead of a tele, and a more nasal sounding vocal it coulda been on Sabs 1st record.

Coming off a 3 month Wes Montgomery binge, my new partner at work is a 25 year old metalhead, so the ambulance has been rawkin to Slayer seasons in the abyss Metallica ride the lightning Plus COC, Maiden, Clutch, Mastodon, Lamb Of God, AIC, Soundgarden, and of course Sabs ng
