No hairy-chested posing...No guitar solos...

...Just a bunch of square-heads (sup, Dins) taking music into the future.





Do you remember where you were when you first heard this?

Yea, about 6 hours into a 12 hour long microdot experiment. As I recall, that was during the "stare at smoke rings like the shit means something" phase. Good times.

I lost my shit at 1:30 into that vid when the dude let the audience members press those buttons on his instrument.

It's like Jimmy Page letting some stoner burnout draw a bow across his Gibson during Dazed And Confused...


...only better.

Dr. Demento kept it on his Top 5 for about a year.

Now there's a name worthy of a thread hijack.

Fuck it, gotta give Germany (and Wags) some love. Behold, the most underrated live album of ALL DAMN TIME and stuff...







Oh, and besides Michael Schenker, Germany also gave us this...

UFO was from England.

Established band before Schenker ever joined.



Germay did give us this, before they went the way of the 12 year old girl market:

Michael Schenker is the reason that live album kills.

Schenker was definitely a better player than Jabs... but Jabs actually showed up for work on an occasion, and didn't have his brother calling Interpol trying to find him.

What? Who?

I held off responding to this callout until now for two reasons.

1) I don't have speakers at work and ain't supposed to be fucking off on the internet anyway.

2) I had some vague notion that even if I did have speakers and permission to fuck off on the internet at work, I'd regret listening to those tunes.

Keith Emerson thinks those guys suck and wants their carbon footprint eliminated.
