Vanilla Fudge

[Elvis_Christ]

I've been listening to their first album over the last couple of days. Really great Psychedelic rock. They do some great Beatles covers putting their own mark on the tunes.

I see Sundazed have a re-issue of this album... def have to pick it up if I come across it. Their pressings are top notch.

Anyone else dig these guys? Any of you older cats see 'em live back in the day?

Yknow you can make fudge with canna-butter and it kicks ass - has a pretty high butter content, so does shortbread.
So I'm thinkin, right...chocolate fudge slice topped chocolate chip shortbread.

S'gonna be good.

I could eat one, then check out this music.

Yah Vanilla Fudge are great. They were always more known for their covers than original material. Their heavy version of Season of the Witch is great.

Good to hear I'm bidding on a 7" single of that tune. There's a couple of LPs as well I've got my eyes on.

What other stuff like this would you recommend neverending?

[neverending]

Aside from the first album Renaissance and Rock N Roll are great, IMO.

[Elvis_Christ]

Cool I'll hunt those two down.

Near The Beginning and The Beat Goes On were the two LPs I was looking at buying. I hate being short of cash especially when stuff like this is at a reasonable price.

Any bands like these guys you'd recommend? Iwas looking at some Fever Tree records they any good?

[neverending]

Fever Tree are good.

You might like Blue Cheer- once rated as the loudest band in the world. It doesn't get more basic than this power trio. For a raw mixture of garage & psychedelia it doesn't any better, imo.

[Elvis_Christ]

Blue Cheer are one of my favorite bands Outsideinside is one I listen a lot.

Vincebus Eruptum is a monster especially the song Second Time Around.

I've got New and Improved! aswell. Don't dig it as much as the other two but its still got some winners on it. That one reminds me a lot of The Band.

One of those guys was a Hell's Angel too... crazy. Must've paid having back up like that when you're exploding amps everywhere!

Cool I might give one of the Fever Tree records a day in court.

How bout Bloodrock? First two albums are killer.

That's funny becuase my bass player just brought up Vanilla Fudge like a week ago and I come on here and of all bands you brought them up.

To this Day I still sing, " YOu just keep me hanging on" Badass bass player. Of course I'm only 21 but I've been singing that song for years.

[Elvis_Christ]

^^ Definitely a great tune. What kind of stuff does your band play?

[CrimsonFiend138]

EVERYTHING. The drummer is into metal and the bass player is more into that emo shit but I'm moulding her everyday and she's pretty open to anything. I want to do everything Right Now as far as covers We are doing Sabbath, Brain stew by Greenday, Ac/dc and The Ramones and the Misfits. Then songs that I made up that I can't really explain how they sound. We haven't been playing for too long. Do you play any instruments Elvis?

[Elvis_Christ]

Yup I play bass and fuck round with guitar a bit.

[CrimsonFiend138]

Yeah I was originally gonna play bass but aunt, who's been playing guitar for like 30 years told me to start out wth guitar then move to bass and I'm glad I did, I loved Playing, then eventually I'll get a bass.

[Elvis_Christ]

Yeh that's good advice. Doing that made my playing a lot better especially for doing chords on the bass.
