I wrote the email thinking that maybe your 'bass girl' will read it
In they song 'The Longfail' there is a Buzzcocks influence and the guitar at allmost the end remains of 'Fast cars'
Not sure,but i think that ,except Sex Pistols,i saw all the english punk bands and for most of them more than one time,with on the top 11 times Clash
Buzzcocks,Adverts,Xray-speed,Slits, the Saints ,the Ruts are my best.But my favourite is Heartbreakers,this was fantastic
Tuff Darts was more pub rock.You have Ducks de luxe,Eddie &the hot rods who are very rock and good
I saw ,but much before [1974] New York Dolls in Paris
I saw Mink Deville in New York at the Max's
Ramones ,Richard Hell at the CBGB and Heartbreakers in a small club,i do not remember the name
Not sure but i may have pictures of Mick Deville,Heartbreakers somewhere
I saw many many more times Mink Deville.He was at is top at the time of 'Coup de grace.The band was very good,very tight and the songs are just superb
He was,and still is, big in France.I have a live records from not so many years ago on a french label.Part in Paris,part in New-Orlean[not sure] and it is still great
Let me know your Sid stupid Vicious story.Here i give you one.I am not involve in it
When doing his movie or a tv,or a record in Paris,he has a t-shirt with a nazi cross on it
One day he had a walk in the jewish quater-sure not knowing it and not realizing that for french a nazy cross is just unaceptable-
It did not last long before he got troubles.He got what we call in french 'a free ride to hospital'.I mean a real one
I am not moving that much at this time for unfortunate raison.But you can be sure that if i have a plan to be in NY,i will contact you
