When Ivy plays that hollow body Gretsch I believe in miracles. Badassary defined. Her, Lux and the gang carried the torch of raw R&R when everything else was just dull and grey. The best to ever do it.
I was so surprised to here them so gentle and intersting in interview. Of course i love their music and so on but what a surprise to hear these two passionated persons. Poison Ivy so talkative and sensible.
The CRAMPS totally killed most of the bands around then and now. They understood the feral essence of rock 'n roll. Primal rock fury!!! I can play guitar light years better than Poison Ivy, but I AM AND WAS NEVER THAT COOL playing that instrument, nor were most guitarist for that matter!
