absolutely NoT CrAp
Lux and Ivy are just about the cutest damn couple I've ever met. And nice as well.
...Off the Bone is a great album
WF for not allowing opening bands to smoke backstage IN VEGAS
Band: The Cramps
32Songs the Lord taught us is one my favorite albums ever, Lux Interior is one of the coolest guys around in music, they have the more fantastic song names i can remember, a taste for camp and psyched-out rockabilly sound. The Cramps are as NOT CRAP as it gets.

I suddenly want a checkerboard flying v. Is Ivy playing a Dano Bari with humbuckers? What the fuck is she playing?
In the old days, Ivy was playing a rare-as-fuck guitar called a Lewis. They're Canadian, and you will literally never find one unless you live in certain parts of Canada and/or New York. She had somehow managed to snag two copies of the same model. I read this in an old Vintage Guitar interview with her. The only other famous rock person I've heard of using one was David Gilmour, who used a custom 24-fret guitar (back when that was uncommon) for the solo on "Money."
Life...life...I know it's got its ups and downs.

Yup. You know your guitars. :)
That's the one. A Bill Lewis Custom.

37Definitely not crap. I don't play them as much as I used to, but "Songs The Lord Taught Us" is great.

It's the only way I'll be able to achieve the sound I hear in my head.

Holy shit. Please tell me that this 'editor' isn't working anymore.

40The first good concert I ever went to was The Cramps, right around the time Flamejob came out.
Not Crap.
