tunes to hammer or wrench to...

I am curious as to what artists everyone wrenches to? What drives you to get the project done? This is also a lame way for me to know what other 50s or rockabilly artists to listen for.

I like anything Brian Setzer (Stray Cats), Mike Ness, and a very cool Christian Rockabilly band called The Pioneers.

I really get into the early 50s rock and roll, Leon Smith, Sleepy LaBeef, Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochrane, and early Elvis '56 '57, the early shit

 

The Del Rubio triplets.

 

There was a thread about this a couple months ago that went for a while. Try doing a search for garage music or something of that sort.

 

anything on Bear or Verve

 

I like a lot of stuff, but nothing gets me cranking like "old" Black Sabbath and "extremely old" Rolling Stones. I really don't go for the mainstream stuff that gets played on Clearchannel stations. There's gold on them thar B-sides...

 

Fu Manchu http://www.fu-manchu.com
Unida
Kyuss
Nebula


and the MFS soundtrack-

**Edit: BTW does anyone have pics of the Fu Manchu Sedan that a Hamber built it was on here a few months back-

 

the Roy Hogsed cd 'cocaine blues'

 

Mad Fabricator's Soundtrack! Nothing is more rad than my girlfriend's 10 year old son singing Bleed songs in the garage. Maybe Evel has another one coming out with MFS III? Hmmm? Please?

Slightly more O/T, but I picked up a Sirius sat. radio last week and I've been a little disappointed in the "Underground Garage" station.

 

We wrench to JOHNNY CASH mostly songs "boy named sue" ,"one piece at a time" (the psychobilly cadillac song) folsom blue's...etc etc

but when its not johnny cash its dick dale for sure!.....

 

graverobber- you pretty much listed my stack of cd's in the shop. . . .plus punk. Check our brant bjorks solo stuff. . . if you like all that you'll like his stuff.

KYUSS may be great shop music, but it's the best driving music.

 

Had Grand Funk and Rory Gallagher on last night. Got over 250 60's and 70's albums on my shop computer that plays through the stereo.

 

I really like Mariah Carey and Debbie Boone.

 

I love lots of different music, but if you're talking about what I put on to really get me fired up to bust ass in the garage when I need a little extra kick...

"Bricks Are Heavy" album by L7
"Built To Perform" album by Phantom Blue
"Castle Walls" album by Damzel
"5150" album by Van Halen
"Third Stage" album by Boston
"Afterburner" album by ZZ Top

When the thrash to get some heavy work done is over, and I'm just going over the details or fine tuning a project, I drop a gear and get into...

Tom T Hall
The Go-Gos
David Allan Coe
Debbie Davies
Squeeze
John Schneider(yes, for real!)
Belinda Carlisle
House Of Schock
The Delphines
The Graces
Bob Seger
John Cougar

and all the Groovy pop and DISCO hits of the 70s, Man!!!

 

I've got pics from the Pileup at home. The car was bought by a local guy by me. Its in the thread on here by Green Goblin on the Munster, In car show. Its a reddish copper color with an early Hemi. There is a spiderweb roof insert in it. (can't remember how to post a link)

Oh, and I rock out to AudioSlave, Pantera, Metallica, and anything with old blues riffs in it.

(HACK, you're an animal. Now I see how you get so much done.)
-some of that stuff would make me want to get out of the garage quick too!

 

Shit I forgot to mention Brant & The Operators-
Thanks Bro


"Odyssey" "Plastic" "Black woman" "Johnny the boy" and "Flip the Phase" are fuckin completely worn out from the amount I play them in the car

 

Last time when someone posted the pic up it was just the back of it- that sedan is killer I love the paint Thanks

 

slayer and motorhead ......and a little minor threat ,gang green , or dead kennedys .... i call it motivational music ....

 

Metallica, Led Zepellin, Van Halen, The Doors, eTc, eTc The list is long but distinguished. And for the relaxing times i must have Floyd playin!

 

I'm all over the map with music.
Lately I've been on a Motorhead kick....
Them and my new favorite local band and all-round swell guys, The Konks....
Definately worth checking out....
konks.com
I think.

 

rev. horton heat ,cash, david allan coe, haggard and good rockabilly or country western music anything that makes me want to drink

 

Got a 5 disc changer in my garage, in it right now...

White Zombie-La Sexorcisto Devil Music Volume something, don't remember full title.

Willie Nelson- Red Headed Stranger.

Motorhead-Everything Louder than Everyone Else, disc two.

Primus-Frizzle Fry.

Eagles-Hotel California.

I like to strike a good balance...

 

"Saturday Night" by the Bay City Rollers
"Rocket Man" by Bill Shatner
"Rose Marie" by Slim Whitman
Anything by Zamfir or Richard Clayderman

 

Any Early Metallica is good for wrenching

Ride The Lightning is my favorite


I prefer my rockabilly in a more casual setting, like at party, or while bowling.

 

WAYNE THE TRAIN HANCOCK THAT GUY SENDS SHIVERS DOWN MY SPINE AND HANK WILLIAMS SENIOR AND THE THIRD NOTHING BETTER TO GET YOU IN THE ZONE TO WRENCH AWAY[NOT SURE THE NEIGHBOURS AGREE THOUGH}

 

Pennywise, Bad Religion, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Dead Kennedys, any old PUNK ROCK, Not some of the shit they call punk today.

Launchcast.com has a good punk station on it, but you have to be a member.

The faster, the better.....

 

lately, i've been really into:
alice in chains-dirt
***marilyn manson-antichrist superstar***
godsmack-self titled
tool-lateralus

but then again, i'm not like the other boys...


tred.

 

I prefer to listen to things along the lines of
Dead Kennedys
Judas Priest (old stuff)
Agnostic Front
Madball
The Hoodz
Brian Setzer's '68 comeback special
Reverend Horton Heat
Dropkick Murphys
Slayer
Mutilators
Tito and Tarantula
Some of the Ramones

and of course, black flag

 

i actually have a garage playlist on my mp3 player

its got

j cash
dropkick murphys
blood for blood
death threat
the dwarves
mike ness solo stuff
social distortion
hank williams III
lars frederickson and the bastards
the transplants

With the two lists above I agree, but, kinda surprised not to see Tiger Army on either one.

Latest CD I got was from our own Django - Hotrod Hucksters, with a bitchin' version of Muleskinner Blues.

 

Mastodon!
