HW: Re: OT: People ripping off others tunes

[Karen Kusic]

It might not have been Monster Magnet this time but they've ripped off a
riff or two for sure . . .

Have to give Monster Magnet credit for giving HW credit though! On the
interactive Monster Magnet CD, "I Talk to Planets," there's an article
about MM's influences that starts out:

Q: I noticed that you credited Hawkwind as an influence.
A: You're talking about one of the greatest bands ever - in their early
period.  20 minute songs, sounds like fucking Black Sabbath at 45 with
strobe lights pointed at the audience.  Nothing like frying people's
brains.  Naked dancing people ...

I did some screen shots and posted them as pdf files here:

Sorry, they're about 400k each.  If you need the free Adobe Acrobat

Dave B, if you're still reading . . . I guess that would be my question
for you!  Have you ever met/chatted with Dave Wyndorf from Monster
Magnet?  Any additional comments?

Thanks!
