Richard Hell & The Voidoids - Going Going Gone

[grungeincluded]

Not only was grunge music influenced by hardcore punk but by New York punk. Chris Cornell explains that he was influenced by Television. To Patti Smith, Tom Verlaine`s signature guitar style sounds like “a thousand bluebirds screaming”. Whilst, The Guardian noted that Tom Verlaine is ‘‘a guitar antihero whose sensibility was more classical than Clapton’’. Soundgarden`s guitarist - Kim Thayil also was influenced by Verlaine and Television. Cornell explains that:

‘‘Kim was influenced by Television a lot. And bands like Television are the reason I started playing guitar in Soundgarden. I started writing songs that had more than one guitar part, where it wasn’t just playing the same thing. There would be one colour part that would come in and out, or some rhythmic thing that would happen when the other guitar was doing its thing. That was directly influenced by bands like Television’’ (Sarig, 1998,p.180).

Chris Cornell also helped on Jeff Buckley`s album Sketches for my Sweetheart the Drunk (1998) which was co-produced by Tom Verlaine. Chris Cornell played a big part in this album. After Buckley`s death in 1997, Buckley’s mother, Mary Guibert, explains that Cornell helped her to navigate the music industry and get the album released.

If only 70s ny punk had an active fandom, we could have had an edit of girl, so confusing with Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine by now

We need more hyper-intelligent, villainous dinosaurs!

Not dinosaur-wannabes like Stegron or Sauron (the mutant, not the LOTR guy), but honest-to-goodness real dinosaur villains!

Like Warbeast here, from 1963 # 2 (May, 1993):

Just how evil is Warbeast? Why, he's the real reason why dinosaurs became extinct - he wiped them out! You could've been riding a stegosaurus to school everyday if it weren't for this guy!

Now, imagine how much cooler the Ultra-Humanite would be if he next transferred his brain into a dinosaur body!!!!!!!!!!
