Wow, they are still around, always wondered what happened to them.
Kind of have a personal interest in the group for reasons I can not disclose on line. Thanks for the info.
And what kind of a name is 'Grizzly Rose', that is so weird sounding. Did they like put a bunch of words in a hat and just pick two or is that the name of a flower?

I kinda like the Buffalo Rose better - it's in Golden.
The Grizzly Rose, is of all things a 'Dance Hall and Saloon' - yeah, a Country bar. LOL How they booked Quiet Riot - I haven't a clue.
As to their name ??????

On this set of records (you remember what records were don't you?) the perfect Ms Ella sang with the Buddy Bregman Orchestra. Pure sophistication and elegance. The perfect gin martini of a songstress.

I have a few of her albums. One, an off brand, has what I think is one of her best songs. You don't see it often, I look now for it in some CD sets but it's hard to find.
Do you know the song 'Just a Sitting and a Rocking'? Would love to have a new less scratchy recording of it.
Damn! Being different is frustrating?

And you may recall that DIMEBAG DARRELL of Pantera played some wicked chromatic riff scaling and dynamic 32nd note triple pulloff solos on the Vulgar Display of Power album.
Or that Rob Halford, formerly of Judas Priest, had a vocal range that exceeded many opera singers.
Or that for 6 years strait in the mid-eighties Iron Maiden was "The Loudest Band In The World", with more decibals than an F-16 at full afterburner!
Bleed for me, I've bled for you. Embrace me child, I'll see you through. |

Kil,
it's RockabIlly, with an I, as in hillbilly. Just a nit-noid correction.
An intersting evolution of that is psychobilly, a punk version, almost always using an upright bass. Check out the Nekromantix sometime (Maybe at epitaph.com I'm not sure). The bassist for the Nekromantix has a killer upright made out of a coffin.
As for the oldies, my mother sold me on The Ventures long ago. Mostly instrumental, they were outstanding musicians for the time. I'm a big fan of Loius Armstrong as well. I used to play trumpet myself. Herb Alpert and the Tijuana brass was another odd favorite of mine. In fact, as soon as Slayer's "God Hates Us All" gets done playing, I'm gonna pop some Satchmo in.
But I still want Ted Nugent for President. Yeah, he's into the whole god thing, but other than that, he represents me far better than anyone in DC right now.Besides, knowing how to play Cat Scratch Fever WILL get you laid at a party!
Bleed for me, I've bled for you. Embrace me child, I'll see you through. |
