They look like The Mentors. Where they aware of them? How many bands dressed up like executioners? I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I hate you. What a complete and honest statement backed up with a killer song. This 7″ could’ve been perfect if they just had cut crap out of Racing For The Pink. Two long and absolutely pointless guitar solos that makes me fall a sleep. The song got a strong melody but 4:44???? Come on. Anyone got some info to share?

      Hey, I was the bullitt bass play and also took the pics on the 45 cover. It was great to play Surf Music in California and if you don’t like it shove a rat tailed file up yours.
      Save the humans by amputating limbs before they morph into Morlocks from nuke Armageddon! 24/7 job. No easy work.
      In memory of Stan Storm (guitar).RIP.

    Ha ha ha Drunk And Armeds comments are trackbacks from their site in case you didn’t knew. Click their name and you get it.

  4. Erich says:

    One of the few records I gave away with good reason. I can’t stand it, hahaha. I had always suspected GG & A of being either a Mentors side project or a total rip off (especially the vocals).

  5. jon the milk man says:

    gave it away? ha ha. great stuff!!

  6. Steve says:

    I bet if Nigel Tufnel had soloed on it Erich wouldn’t have given it away! lol

  7. Erich says:

    Hey, the solos are the only thing worthwhile on this slab, apart from the nice ps!

    Can’t a person just goof around Flakes drummer??? I just get bored. Are you still in the Flakes?? I was going to go to Frisco to see them, but the wife is going out of town for business. Maybe next time?/

  11. Jay Thurston says:

    Mentors were funnier than shit…these guys just suck.

  12. The Flakes // Drummer says:

    Sure a person can goof around ha ha. Thought you didn’t get that it was a trackback.

    Yes, I’m still in The Flakes but not in the US The Flakes. I’m in the original The Flakes.

  13. Erich says:

    Fan Mail sent, Scientist. Thanks for the link!

  14. Jay Thurston says:

    OK…when are the real Flakes coming to America?? Hope some time in the future. Cheers

  18. My Dad was the Original Guitarist of this band. Back in SF. He Co-Wrote it with the Singer Tilish and another guitarist ended up playing it on the Album. It was on a 45. a 7″ and me and my sisters listened to it growing up. I have pictures of my dad with the bags over all of their heads. He said it went big in germany. and got no money or rights to it.
