is a paramount figure of rock
and roll...He was basically Chuck Berry and Elvis rolled into one
person. He was the original "rocker" .. like mods vs rockers? yeah Eddie
was who all those rocker kids aspired to be.. He could sing, he could
play guitar, he was good looking. this kid really had it all going on.
He was experimental with recording techniques, being one of the first to
mess with multi-track recording and overdubbing..He even was one of the
first to mix distortion into his sounds.
The notorious and ill-fated Anarchy Tour is our subject today.
This tour was planned as the very first "Punk Rock" touring show which featured an all star line up. Sex Pistols, Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers, The Damned, and The Clash.
This story even features Malcom Mclaren. If none of the band names ring a bell for you, just know that it is one hell of a line up... But also know that with this line up, its not surprising that the story gets pretty messy..
How messy you may ask??
Filthy and Furiously Messy.
...and for all those punk rock historian nerds out there, i know how seriously you take this subject, so listen in and tell me if i got any facts wrong. I will correct any errors. OR WILL I!?
