Punk Rock Treasure - GoFuckYourself.com

ShellyCrash · 07-19-2010, 10:09 PM

I must have caught a bug over the weekend and it kicked my ass today so I decided to take a day off (well, as much as I ever take a day off I suppose) and decided to dig around and reorganize some of my crapola.

Just digging around I've got some pretty awesome shit I've collected over the years- some of the things I dug out today: a Joy Division Flexi, a Clash "Sort It Out" Tour backstage pass, and my Letter of Authentification from Monk Rock for a drawing I have by Mike Ness from when they were making "Another State of Mind".

I don't have anything super sick hard rock museum worthy, but I should probably frame alot of this stuff. Wish I could think of a better way to store the flexi - right now I've got it in layers of cardboard. Its mint, no creases, and in the original clear plastic which breaks and flakes to the touch.

Anyways, anyone want to share some of your punk rock booty or other treasure you've collected? Records, comics, whatever. How do you store it?

I have an autograph from each of the guys from Stryper.

It's my retirement fund

kane · 07-19-2010, 10:54 PM

I wrote for a music magazine for about 3 years and somewhere around the house in a box I have a ton of old back stage press passes and random things that are pretty cool. Probably the best is thing I have is when I was covering the northwest swing of the Neil Young/Pearl Jam tour. After the show was over I was walking past Neil Young's dressing room and it has his name plate on it. I quickly glanced around and saw nobody so I pulled it off the door and stuck in my bag. Of course I was supposed to be professional, but I still had a little rock geek out moment over Neil

I also have a book called "Your vagina" which is nothing but short stories about women's vaginas signed by Liz Phair. She didn't write it, but the story behind it is pretty cool. I was doing a story on her and we went to a book store and she bought it. She thought it was a funny title. So I spend the day with her then she does her show and after the show she is getting ready to jump on the bus and head to the next city. She asks me if I'm going with her. I say no, I'm interviewing a different band tomorrow night, but I'll call her if I have any other questions. She gives me a puzzled look then plants a hot, wet, open-mouth kiss on me, wishes me well then gets on the bus and leaves.

I was floored and dumbfounded. I tell my editor about this the next morning and she laughed her ass off. She tells me that right then I could be banging Liz Phair, but I decided to not flake out on work. That part of the day with her ended up in the article and I got endless "fan" mail calling me all kinds of gay and dumb and caught shit from my fellow writers for months. So about three weeks after this I get a package in the mail from Liz. It is that book. She wrote in it, "After reading your article on me and hearing about the aftermath of you not coming with me for a couple of days on the road I thought you might want this. Clearly you need to learn more about the vagina than I do." She put a big smiley face and it was funny. I still have it.

icymelon · 07-19-2010, 10:58 PM

thats good shit. I have a ticket stub from 1993 first time I saw social d : )

CaptainHowdy · 07-20-2010, 05:58 AM

I treasure the fact that I wasn't compelled to go see Social Distortion a couple of months ago, heh...

ShellyCrash · 07-20-2010, 06:01 AM

Pretty funny story about the Liz Phair autograph.

Something as a writer you might appreciate, do you remember zines? I've got the "rape" issue of Answer Me! and an issue of Boiled Angel, it's like a mini obcesnity collection ;)

punkpred · 07-20-2010, 06:05 AM

I have in 45" original God save the queen, Anarchy in the UK, Pretty Vacant, Holidays in the sun, No one is innocent/My way, Common everybody, Something else, Silly thing by the Sex Pistols. The collection includes 12" singles and the first issues of all the 33" they released from 77 until 81. A large collection of Bootlegs the one worth most is Gun Control, live in NYC 77. The original "The great rock n roll swindle" poster and 4 different issues of the Sex Pistols Files. Signatures of Paul Cook and Steve Jones.

If you saw Social D 2 years ago, 4 years ago, 6 years ago, etc you're not missing anything. You get the same show today, complete with the same commentary between songs.

One time in Ft. Lauderdale at a semi-outdoor gig it started to rain, they dissapeared for a bit, came back on and did the last half of the show accoustic. I tip my hat to that, but that was close to 10 years ago. Kinda sad but I'm kinda done with seeing them live. Don't get me wrong, still love the music. Just can't stand to hear the, "take the other four and shove em' up your ass", shit anymore. No one's giving him the finger, it's all part of the show.

That's a nice haul. I've always wanted to get a nice piece of original sex pistols vinyl but that stuff usually falls above my willing to pay price range. I've got an original C'mon Everybody and the post-death Sid Sings w/ the doll in the coffin on the cover- don't think that's worth much though because they were probably pressing those like candy to cash in when that happened.

I've also got the cover of The Daily Mirror with the article and headline announcing Sid's death. "Sid Vicious Drugs Death" w/ a pic of him and his mom on it. Says something along the lines of "Punk Rocker Dies In Girlfriends Arms". Something I'm also keeping rolled in a tube that should prob be displayed.

Most of my important vinyl is Crass Records stuff. I've got a handful of originals and a few of the fun ones like Merry Crassmas under Creative Recording And Sound Services. I always wanted to get an "Our Wedding" flexi, another they did under Creative Recording And Sound Services that was created as a prank and given away with issues of Loving magazine, but its been like a white elephant. Anyone who says they have one usually winds up full of shit.

I got picked to audition for a band w/ Chuck Biscuits in 1999. Sony was running it. Couldn't get a ride form Olympia to Seattle for my sit down meeting. Just as well, never went anywhere and they wanted me to copy Shirley Manson from Garbage.

I can't top that...

SykkBoy · 07-20-2010, 09:26 AM

I have a The Damned Live Anthology CD that is autographed by Captain Sensible.

I have a signed We're The Meatmen...and You Suck t-shirt, autographed by Tesco Vee.

I have a partially burned Barbie doll head I got from the guys in Rosemary's Billygoat (there was an odd drunken prop incident during the time they were performing "Hell is For Children" and they were having a problem igniting the baby doll and grabbed the Barbie they use for "GI Joe Raped Barbie")

I have a custom sketch/autograph I got from Slymentra Hymen of GWAR. I had forgotten about it until I was moving storage units a couple weeks back and found a box of some of my old shit.

LOL, I'm sure if it had come together it would have been awful. I thought it was going to be punk rock, I was totally caught off guard when they asked me to sing Garbage, I only knew a few lines but it got me through the gate. I'm happy with that, just making the first cut was enough. It's an opp that I think fate played out just right.

I fucking love Tesco Vee. I don't have any good meatmen stuff. I gave a sweet Dutch Hurcules shirt to my best friend, since she's the bigger fan out of the two of us. A friend's boyfriend has a sweet Crime shirt I want to take from him. One of these days...

People are paying out the ass for old band shirts right now. A buddy of mine has been selling stuff on ebay as his primary source of income for the last couple months. I gave him an old Cramps shirt I had, tour from the 90's. Its oversized and white, love the band but I've just been sleeping in it so why not. Got like $70-$80 for the thing. Crazy.

Caligari · 07-20-2010, 10:29 AM

I still have several black label 45's and a casette of polish punk i got when i was corresponding with a few groups in poland - early 80's.
They were black label because at the time the govt had to authorize any music before it could be sold, so somehow they got several 45's to me in the mail along with a casette of polish punk which was disguised as a Warsaw tourist tape!
I sent them american punk records in return, but the last box got returned to me (it had been opened and searched) and i never heard from my polish friends again.
Tried other routes to contact but nothing turned up and some other people said (at the time) that undesirables sometimes "disappeared" if they were found creating subversive and unauthorized material.

Who the hell knows, but polish punk of the late 70's early 80's is fucking great! One groups combined polka (with electrified accordion) and hardcore punk- great stuff.

I used to play with them a lot back in the 80's. In fact Dennis and I became pretty good friends. They were really good back than and you could see Mike has been able to transcend most of the other bands like TSOL, Agent Orange and such and do what he is doing now. That said, they are not the band they used be for sure but I will give it to Mike that he managed to make a living doing his thing and has sorta turned himself into a icon for the hot rod, tattoo, post punk,good times culture.

we might have crossed paths then.
i moved to OC in 1980 and knew the SD, DI, Eddie and The Subtitles bunch. we used to hang out at the commonwealth pub in fullerton where they played sometimes.

OC was really kicking ass for about 3 years, tons of venues. used to go to the cuckoo's nest (it changed names at some point) saw the cramps, vandals, abcedarians, the dickies, wall of voodoo...you name it.

Richard Hung Himself....good ol DI.

That's pretty cool, what band were you in?

If I had to put my finger on it I would have to say sometime after he did the solo thing Social Distortion shows felt more like watching someone earning a paycheck. Not shitting on him, he's become very professional and there's also something positive to be said that even though it's predictable that it is still also quality. I guess it's kind of like a vegas show- if you see it one time you're statisfied, but if you see it multiple times the correography gets stale and the jokes get tired. You can set your watch by the one liners.

Kind of why I skip out on alot of the reunion shows. Some shows are always awesome no matter what the age- Pogues for example or Iggy Pop. They put on shows that are engaging, they do things that are spontaneous, you can see them a million times and it still feels as good as the first time. It's a paycheck for everyone, I get that, but I just don't want to feel that from the band at the end of the night. The way I see it I can listen to the music anytime, I go to the show for the experience.

Evil Chris · 07-20-2010, 11:06 AM

I have a box of LPs in my basement somewhere. I forget what's in there with some exceptions of course.

Yeah, I remember when Zines were all the rage. Factsheet 5 was like the bible of counter-culture.

I actually interviewed and wrote a short article about Mike Diana, the guy who did Boiled Angel. This was right in the middle of all the controversy and not too long before the supreme court reamed him. He was kind of a messed up, but interesting guy.

A guy I worked with claimed to have a microphone that GG Allin had shoved up his ass on stage. I have no idea if it was real or not, but I always wondered, even if it were real, why would he want that.

Yeah OC had a good batch of bands from 80-83. I live up in the Bay Area so mostly played with those guys either up here on in other cities besides LA. I did get to play the Riot On Sunset when Jack had he massive crowd sit down when the cops came in.

Los Olvidados..i believe they play one or two of your songs on SF Punk Live 365
http://www.live365.com/stations/sfpu...=1258914557883

i listen to that one alot, some great punk from SF.

Yep, we had a few good riots back then, the one i remember most was the huntington beach riot...good times.

I have an IRS vinyl compliation that I am on the cover, mom's friend was working for them at the time. I also have two pairs of David Lee Roth's pants, and a couple t-shirts that were his, oh yeah and a glass pipe from him too.

I once had some jogging shorts of Adam Ant's but someone stole them from a laundromat when I first moved to New Orleans in 97 lol.

probably other worthless things I can't recall right now.

I need to know the stories behind the pants and running shorts, lol. Those are such odd and awesome items to have.

Have you seen Adam Ant lately? Holy jesus. I saw a picture of him in some rag, maybe Star magazine or something just like it, wearing like a golden / fleshtone tracksuit.

Also, I have to admit, I fucking love alot of his shit. Not even in a cheap 80's goofy way. "Dog Eat Dog", "Beat My Guest", "Pablo Picasso / Planet of the Apes".

billywatson · 07-20-2010, 10:25 PM

I got some old Pettibon flyers from either Black Flag (or SST bands) touring in the early 80's.

M0nk · 07-21-2010, 12:59 AM

I have a couple of signed tickets from shows I´ve been to and could sneak into the backstage. one from Marcus miller (jazz bassist) one signed by the three stickmen, Michael bernier, tony levin & pat mastelotto last two are former members of king crimson I also have a pic with them. I also have a Roach from a joint I smoked with Snoop Dogg which I keep inside an ambar block and a broken drumstick signed by chad smith of the red hot chili peppers. oh! and how can I forget my signed copy of how to make love like a pornstar by jenna jameson :P

that stuff from kings of the wild frontier period is great. the double tribal drumming sound was something i'd only heard from Bow Wow Wow (of course since one of the drummers went to Adam Ant).
i would go as far to say that Adam Ant at least had one whole albums worth of killer music which still holds up today.

Yeah funny its all these pants. lol Well Fletch knew a guy who was a roadie or something like that to DLR. Apparently he's always loaded and had tons of memorabilia in his basement and got tired of people ripping him off and selling his shit on ebay, etc. So he was getting rid of it all and yeah go figure people were still ripping him off haha. So we actually have three pairs of pants, a burgundy pair of LEE jean things, and two checkered pants made in London. One is red and black and one is purple and black. I swear I've looked for pics of him wearing them as I think I have seen one before. And some rock shirts. And a glass pipe, people give him all these crazy pipes and he smokes out of them once then gives them away. lol what an ego huh.

Adam Ant, I used to know the chick that was his first makeup artist! Funny huh cause that's what he was known for, his makeup. She told me he learned to do it himself and always did it from that point early on, so like she taught him or something lol. Many years ago he moved back to England and left all his stuff in storage and she had a bunch of it. I guess at some point she was getting rid of some for him and gave me a pair of black adidas running shorts.

So I always think of how some black dude probably stole them from the laundromat in New Orleans, and had no fucking idea he was wearing Adam Ant's shorts. HAHAHA that almost makes it worth losing them. That's what I get for being new and washing clothes in the wrong part of town lol

And let me add DLR's pants; I was able to fit in them pre-pregnancy but haven't gotten back there yet. HE HAS NO ASS. I could get into these tiny little man pants, but they never fit me right because he actually wore them and broke them in, and the guy has no ass at all. They're like a size 3 in women's size. If I could find a pic of him wearing them or any way to authenticate them at this point in my life I'd probably sell them as I have no use for them really. I mean maybe, but I'm in this anti pack rat thing right now tossing out old shit and buying new stuff. I guess having a kid does that to you.

Of course I was supposed to be professional, but I still had a little rock geek out moment over Neil I also have a book called "Your vagina" which is nothing but short stories about women's vaginas signed by Liz Phair. She didn't write it, but the story behind it is pretty cool. I was doing a story on her and we went to a book store and she bought it. She thought it was a funny title. So I spend the day with her then she does her show and after the show she is getting ready to jump on the bus and head to the next city. She asks me if I'm going with her. I say no, I'm interviewing a different band tomorrow night, but I'll call her if I have any other questions. She gives me a puzzled look then plants a hot, wet, open-mouth kiss on me, wishes me well then gets on the bus and leaves. I was floored and dumbfounded. I tell my editor about this the next morning and she laughed her ass off. She tells me that right then I could be banging Liz Phair, but I decided to not flake out on work. That part of the day with her ended up in the article and I got endless "fan" mail calling me all kinds of gay and dumb and caught shit from my fellow writers for months. So about three weeks after this I get a package in the mail from Liz. It is that book. She wrote in it, "After reading your article on me and hearing about the aftermath of you not coming with me for a couple of days on the road I thought you might want this. Clearly you need to learn more about the vagina than I do." She put a big smiley face and it was funny. I still have it.

I have a partially burned Barbie doll head I got from the guys in Rosemary's Billygoat (there was an odd drunken prop incident during the time they were performing "Hell is For Children" and they were having a problem igniting the baby doll and grabbed the Barbie they use for "GI Joe Raped Barbie") I have a custom sketch/autograph I got from Slymentra Hymen of GWAR. I had forgotten about it until I was moving storage units a couple weeks back and found a box of some of my old shit. __________________ Support my new movie “The Second Coming”

They were black label because at the time the govt had to authorize any music before it could be sold, so somehow they got several 45's to me in the mail along with a casette of polish punk which was disguised as a Warsaw tourist tape! I sent them american punk records in return, but the last box got returned to me (it had been opened and searched) and i never heard from my polish friends again. Tried other routes to contact but nothing turned up and some other people said (at the time) that undesirables sometimes "disappeared" if they were found creating subversive and unauthorized material. Who the hell knows, but polish punk of the late 70's early 80's is fucking great! One groups combined polka (with electrified accordion) and hardcore punk- great stuff. __________________ ATTN Webmasters Cruel Bucks - LIVE Gonzo Does Not Pay ------------------------------------------------ Animal Rescue Click Here to Feed An Animal for Free Last edited by Caligari; 07-20-2010 at 10:30 AM..
