I get that TOP oppa's groan was supposed to be comical (and it was), but
for a second there my heart stopped beating and I couldn't breathe. Don't
do that again oppa! Seriously, those of us with a TOP bias can't handle it!
Sorry but being an avid Dickies fan since 1979 i cannot give this cover
more than a C+. Extra credit for covering the Dickies but this version has
no backbone. No soul. Weak.
This Leonard guy is pound by pound among the most talented singers you can
find...And the band can be considered punk in a sense, but plays more
elaborated music... And their style is different than "regular punk", alone
by itself among its peers... They are really top quality material. Just by
listening to their cover of black Sabbath's "Paranoid" you can tell. They
make me proud of living in S.Cali
Just to let all Dickies fans know, Robert Lansing ( Enoch Hain ) has passed
away today July 25th at 10:56 am. He was a former employee here at the
Bermuda Guitar Institute as an instructor. As a born again Christian he led
me to Jesus and we had some excellent times jamming at our local church on
the praise team. You will be missed brother.
Thanks a bunch for posting this! It is a great song I agree, but their
version of the Banana Splits theme and Manny Moe and Jack are two of my
other favorites by them. Of course, the album version of this song is of
much better quality, but seeing them perform it live is so cool.
Thanks for posting brings back memories! I've seen these guys like 8 or 9
times. Once I ran into Stan and Leonard and I told them that their next gig
was sold out because I love this friggin band and I felt bad for them that
only a handful of people had showed up for their gig.
Phuck me! I can't believe the great sh^t on Youtube! My God, this is great
stuff! The memories; I just can't believe it. I'm freakin' out! I used to
love the Dickies! Man, I gotta pull out my vinyl collection! Thanks for
posting this! What in the hell happened to great music?!?
@facistkiller21 Damn, I hope you're joking...Come on...haha..But ya, one of
the best punk band ever...Period. Still goin and soundin good...One of the
few bands left of this genre that still have style and soul...
@GdR696 You can hear yourself sing better with your finger in your ear-
especially when there is poor monitors on stage. Leonard kind of adapted it
into his style- he told me so himself.
absolutely brilliant band from my teen years very very underestinated and
judged on banan splits and unfairly so ...the dickies and the toy dolls
were great thanks for posting this tune
Found out about this band just recently and I kinda like it, but can anyone
explain what is up with the leadsinger putting his finger in his ear? what
is the story behind that?
