Quote from: DubEMCQuote from: dontyoutellmeyouth of america. the length of their cover is even a strongpoint. the wipers sound like total wankers when their version is re-inspected.
Go back to school man. I'm sure even Buzz himself would admit how important and influential Greg Sage and the Wipers were to the Northwest scene and punk/alternative/whatever you want to call it in general. The original YOA came out in 1980, recorded and produced by the band independently and is at least 10 minutes long. Pretty radical for " wankers " eh?
im not knocking the wipers as hard as you may fear with the obvious passion found in your reply. i'll go the less harsh route and say youth of america is my favorite cover, i think the wipers are splendid, but when the melvins cover something- odds are they're covering it in a way thats going to frost the cake. AND yes i do think buzz would "admit" in a hot minute how influential and important the wipers were. cornerstones shant be refused; eh?
