www.billboard.c... Black Lips perform "Family Tree" from their new album "Arabia Mountain" in this latest installment of Billboard's Tastemakers series.
Guys this is punk rock, it's not supposed to sound perfect. If it did it would be like some boring arena rock band. No punk band in the late 60's to early 80's could really play their istruments correctly.
Hmm... MC5, The Stooges, New York Dolls, Velvet Underground... Just to name a few early "punk" acts that played well. The term punk wasn't coined until 75-76 I believe when that fanzine came out.
LOL the sunglasses fall of the drummer's face at 2:00 then he's got them back on again at 2:28 and back off at 2:39, all the while without stopping his drummin!!
What kind of geee-tar is Mr. Ian St. Pe playing here? I believe Billy Gibbons from The Moving sidewalks (ZZ Tops original name!) Plays a similar one. Correct me if I'm wrong.... but in all seriousness what is the brand of his guitar?
@pbini i love em but i hate to say thats the editors fuck up, using clips from different points in time, so the whole video has a sense of pace, timing and rhythm....
i was born in the wrong time period. do you think when the world becomes thoroughly tolerant, they will have a little place for people who struggle with the historical malady. they have sex changes, why not time changes?
