i'm trying to find out some of your opinions of your top sleeze rock acts. it's doesn't have to be a paticular genre, just sex drugs and rock-n-roll rock!!
me for starters, i like:
the dead boys (a band that gets over looked alot)
the cramps (nuff said)
and l.a. guns (i know the get put into that "pop metal" genre but they are from that. straight foward in your face hard rock!)
i know it's all over the place, but i try not to stereo type music(except pop). if it's good, it's good. pop is generally not good.
The sleaziest has to be Andre Williams, songs like Jailbait, Pussy Stank, Let Me Put It in, in fact the entire Silky album which has to be the sleaziest dirtiest piece of rock I own.
Some of the Reverend Horton Heats material has a very nice sleaze factor, have a quick listen to Wiggle Stick, Big Red Rocket of Love, and Love Whip and you'll get the idea.
If you like the Dead Boys, you may like the Pagans, too. Their tunes "Nowhere To Run" and "Give Til It Hurts" are awesome!! http://shorl.com/bituhopraprydri
rev definatly has a nice touch of sleeze. love them. i also like jackrabbit slim. he's got an album called 'sleezabilly rebel'
then there's a cute song by kiss called 'nothing to loose'. a nice little ditty about going the back door route. "she didn't want to, but she did anyway". i love that line. classic! kiss was definatly sleezy back in the 70's. what about the godfather of punk iggy??? raw power. awesome.
i forgot W.A.S.P! with songs like Animal (Fuck Like A Beast), Harder Faster, 95-N.A.S.T.Y, Sex Drive, On Your Knees, Don't Cry (Just Suck) & the list goes on. they get a 9 out of 10 on the sleeze ball meter!!!
Have to add the Dwarves to the list, the cover to Blood Guts and Pussy is just way to cool.
Less sleazy and more tasteless was the Mentors, never really comfortable with any of their music actually.
L.A. Guns? Give me a fuckin' break! "Hard rock" is generally NOT GOOD in my opinion. And that also goes for Nashville Pussy and the Reverend Horton Heat. They should've both hung it up a decade ago!

Thanks for this Andy. I first saw this Doc at a screening after The Monks played in Zürich a couple of years ago (Dave was alive and kicking the banjo of course). I agree with you about the work done uncovering the older footage - very cool but I mu…
