Ach ye've nae taste.
It is pretty standard 'Metal' it would help if I spoke or understood the language though. To be honest I'd rather listen to the Hu than Metallica or Slayer who kinda bore me.

The wife used to have a CD of native genuine South American music, heavy on the Pan Pipes, and it wasn't actually bad though not really my kinda thing. A far cry from the sickly 'therapeutic' pan pipe albums you used to see advertised cheap on the goggle.

Dear Judd Dredd,
Please can we have a "bull$hit" emoji?
I know you would want to have the last word
It reminds me of one of those women I was talking about earlier

This is a coincidence, I was listening to the Invisible Touch album by Genesis on Wednesday or Thursday evening, and in particular Land of Confusion really grabbed my attention, with me thinking it was so relevant to what is going on today. Then this video popped up in my YouTube feed, coincidence or Google spying on me by listening to my audio system? 
Anyway the guy in the video has a similar opinion to me, and its still a great track.

I was in a psychobilly band in the mid 80s
I was really into Psychobilly music around that time. What was your band called?

Anyone I might have known @gazzatriumph ? Unfortunately I was late to the party, as I only really discovered the music in the late 80's. It was about 1988 or 89 when I found a copy of The Meteors 'Wrecking Crew' album second hand in a record shop and took a pop on it without having heard it. I had never heard of psychobilly at that point in my wee corner of Ayrshire and at 16 or 17 years old I was only really starting to explore beyond the realms of more well known Rockabilly and the Punk and Metal that I could buy in the local record shops. First track and I was sold on the sounds.
Having found my taste for Rockabilly and psychobilly recently to have started reviving, along with my taste for playing rockabilly guitar I was surprised to discover that the long term purveyor of Rockabilly and Psychobilly music, Howard Raucous of Raucous Records, who had a lot of money off me for discs in the past now lives in Ardrossan just along the road from where I used to live.

Never heard of that before, is it like red neck hillbilly's but with brains

It was a mix of Rockabilly and punk. No brains involved. The "dance" to it was called wreckin, which basically meant they beat the shit out each other.

The band was short lived. It was called Martian Brain Squeeze, not my idea. We supported the Guana Batz at the Barrell Organ in Birmingham, they were quite big in that scene. They asked our drummer if we wanted to support them for 3 months, he asked what would we get paid they replied nothing but would get publicity. The drummer turned it down, I didn't know about it and would have done it.
Not long after the drummer joined Napalm Death and they were pretty successful but not my cup of tea. The drummer was Mickey Harris.

Napalm Death now that was a band I couldn't stand @gazzatriumph.... Funny story - I was at as Nuclear Assault concert around 1989 and spoke to Dan Lilker and he recommended I listen to Napalm Death so I bought a copy of their latest album, with free 7inch single included from 23rd Precinct records in Glasgow. Put them on my deck and they sounded so bad that I assumed the pressings were screwed up. Took 'em back to the shop and got a fresh copy. That was when I realised that it was meant to sound that shite.
Guanabatz were quite good though - I have all their stuff from way back when.
I used to love wreckin', you came away black and blue but it really got the adrenaline pumping. The only thing that kind of never really did it for me with Psychobilly was the obsession with Horror movies and that sort of thing. Horror stuff just bores the shit out of me. I guess nowadays I'm much more on the Rockabilly side than the Psychobilly.
Getting right back into my playing too - In the last couple of months I've bought four Gretsches including a G5420T in superb two tone Anniversary green (I had a 1960's Double Anni in 1990 that was nowhere near the quality of these 'budget' Gretsch's from Chinka). Chances of finding anyone to form a band with within sixty miles of my home is probably zilch though.

I had a gretsch bass a while ago, looked great but has bad neck dive and weak pups. Shame, I loved the look but moved it on. I was more in to Rockabilly than Psychobilly or silly billy as my dad would say. Used to go to all dayers I remember going to Preston alot and down to London.
Good times. I must admit wrecking wasn't really my thing looked a bit mad, my mate was always in the thick of it he loved it.
There is a website you can advertise for musician's or look for bands, I've used it for years and it's free. You may know of it if not it's called Join my Band.

I remember seeing Napalm Death on The Tube, playing one song that lasted 2 seconds lol.

Aye they had a page worth of supposedly deep and meaningful song lyrics for each song and you'd read them and then put the track on and the singer would barf into the mic like he'd had the dodgiest curry ever for two seconds. No way was he singing the lyrics that were printed on the sleeve.
