Roky Erickson Appreciation[views:9849][posts:23]_______________________________ [Dec 18,2009 2:40pm - Eddie ""] I was introduced to his music alittle over a year ago. Have been really jamming him that last couple days. The world needs more fucked up Rock N Roll. http://www.myspace.com/rokyerickson bennyhillifier I find that his music is hit or miss. But his good songs are really fucking good. |

| ___________________________________ [Dec 18,2009 8:40pm - dreadkill ""] I've been listening to roky a shitload lately. I almost posted an appreesh thread recently, so I'm glad to see someone did. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 18,2009 8:43pm - dreadkill ""] I first heard of roky back when entombed covered night of the vampire. I thought it was a danzig cover and when I went looking for the original, I found roky and was blown away by his music and life. |

| ______________________________________ [Dec 19,2009 3:36pm - goatcatalyst ""] Second, I am the special one. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 19,2009 3:50pm - dreadkill ""] his brother got him better medical treatment and helped him get back on his feet. i heard something about him doing an album with billy gibbons sometime soon. that would be awesome. sometime in the next year i'm going to record some solo covers with various friends laying down the instruments of mostly nonmetal songs that i enjoy. i'm definitely doing "it's a cold night for alligators" by roky and "excitable boy" by warren zevon. the rest of the list still needs to be hashed out, but i have a lot of ideas. i'm just most excited about the two songs i mentioned. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 19,2009 3:51pm - dreadkill ""] another thing i saw recently is that ulver is putting together some 60s covers, including an elevators song. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 22,2009 9:21am - dreadkill ""] an episode of austin city limits with roky was on last night. he had billy gibbons onstage with him. i fell asleep at the beginning of the episode when kings of leon were on and woke up in time to catch roky. |
