Yeah! I really like that one. Some other favorites not mentioned yet - Trouble - "Endtime" These better not get posted for illegal download on a certain lame mp3 blog ... -Warren —That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. |

I think I read on this site a while back that the solo from the Mastodon song Divinations is surf inspired? You can definitely hear it. In fact it's pretty damn surfy for a bit, and just friggin' cool. You know, that's the exact type of music Dick Dale claims to be making these days. |

Yeah - they had the double-picked riff and the producer suggested Brent Hinds play something surfy over it. Hinds talks about it on the DVD that's part of the bonus version of the album.

Yes! I've probably listened to this album more than any other single album since I got it. Really, I only (arbitrarily) decided to get into metal just a few months ago. I'm definitely way new to the genre, trying to figure out what I don and don't like, but I absolutely LOVE this album. It's most definitely helping me get my feet wet. Hell, I even like Quintessence, though definitely not as much as the rest of those songs. |

Even Slash can double pick. The first part of this video sounds a little surf-y-ish, then he kind of morphs into Jimmy Page. |

So does Gary Hoey fit into this tread conversation? He had a CD "Monster Surf" or MAssive Surf" or something like that where the distortion pedal was on 12. Hey, how about a compilation of surf bands doing metal versions of their own material. Kind of circular, ya think?
What day is Surf Rock's birthday? Looks like Surf Rock and I was born the same year. Maybe we are both Libras? |

It's not a cover, but Splatterthrash by Ghoul sounded pretty surfish to me from what I remember — |

I've heard this--buddy of mine put it on a mix tape years ago. He also put the Ventures' live 1965 version either before or after to contrast & compare. If I recall correctly, Johnny sounded pretty weak compared to Nokie, which was quite a surprise. —Radio Free Bakersfield--60 Minutes of TWANG, CRUNCH, OOMPH. |

Ghoul have two "surf" instros that are the most inept hackery this side of Gein & the Graverobbers. —That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. Last edited: Jun 10, 2009 12:29:26 |

The Pipeline version of Johnny Thunders is awesome!!! he's backed up by Steve Jones and Paul Cook of the Pistols on this one.... There's maybe some stuuf by Mike Patton's Fantomas too.."cape fear". —http://www.reverbnation.com/c./a4/2404628/1132668/Artist/1132668/Artist/link |

Johnny was also strung out on heroin at the time of those recordings. Nonetheless, his version of Pipeline kicks some serious bootay! —Ted James |

Don't forget Thin Lizzy's Phil Lynott on bass - you could do far, far worse as far as backing bands go. —That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. |

uh... maybe it was just poor CD mastering but I thought that Johnny Thunders cover had no punch — |

Yeah! huge casting on this LP (Chrissie Hynde, Steve Mariott etc...) is anyone here know the Surf Demons? they're from the bay area metal scene, and then they want to play Surf music, with Ibanez RG's and a metal sound, not bad, i dig it, the guitarist sent some vid's on you tube and it's really amazing, they are in my top friends on myspace... —http://www.reverbnation.com/c./a4/2404628/1132668/Artist/1132668/Artist/link |

Not sure about that, but didn't Nikki Sixx of The Crue allegedly "borrow" his name from Jeff Nicholson ("Niki Syxx" of Jon & The Nightriders)? The "Twang" comp is a good one. Tony Iommi, Richie Blackmore, Steve Stevens... Do you really want to "comp" a comp, though? Has anybody mentioned Agent Orange? |

God damn, that is just a great album. I haven't gotten the slightest bit sick of it yet, and it's been on steady rotation for me since the day it came out. (Except "Quintessence" - that song can go fly a kite.)
