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?
Country: USA
Year: 1982
Label: Self Released
Format: 7″

I Hate You.mp3
Racing For The Pink.mp3

Gang Green and the Amputators 7″
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.
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).
gave it away? ha ha. great stuff!!
whats up dude, is this jon kunix?
I bet if Nigel Tufnel had soloed on it Erich wouldn’t have given it away! lol
Hey, the solos are the only thing worthwhile on this slab, apart from the nice ps!
I dunno, I like this sleazy shit sometimes. Isn’t that what punk is for, ha, ha!
Hey Erich. Here’s the guitarist from GG & A’s website. Maybe you could send him some fan mail.

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?/
Mentors were funnier than shit…these guys just suck.
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.
Fan Mail sent, Scientist. Thanks for the link!
OK…when are the real Flakes coming to America?? Hope some time in the future. Cheers

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.
My boyfriends dad was tillisch (vocals) :D
Do you know where Ken tillisch is. I knew stan fuller the original guitarist.RIP stan
Ken Tillisch is dead :-( He died lastyear sometime in his home. My Dad, Ken Harper (the original guitar player of the band) was really hit hard by the news of Tillisch’s death. It was like, the end of a legacy. Poor Tillisch. R.I.P. Ken Tillisch

I was talking to the REAL Sickie Wifebeater on Facebook…..you know what,He says he’ll NEVER tell if this is really them or not,Steve Broy won’t talk either……Sorry guys….I tried. :(
I can’t belive this is on here. Played with them in the early 80s.Wow i’m old! I helped ken with the lyrics for racing for the Pink.
racing for the pink is a tight song..would be a lot tighter if it wasn’t dragged out for THAT long.. henry palm..think you could post the lyrics at some point?
For Real, Gang is living in SanFrancisco ,spoke with him.Ill get the origanal lyrics and line up.

Gang Green & The Amputators was formed in the late 70’s by Kenny Tillisch (Gang Green) in San Francisco, Ca. The original band members were: Kenny Tillisch-Vocals, Stan Fuller-Guitar, Marty Howard-Bass, Terry Hazelwood-Drums, Kenneth Harper-Guitar. Robert Graves Played guitar on “Racin For The Pink”. Gang Green is still alive and well in San Francisco…….ready to gig with his original bandmates.
Gang ,Has P.A will travel.
It is with great sorrow that I inform all that Kenneth Tillisch, “Gang Green” of “Gang Green And The Amputators” past away on September 17, 2012. R.I.P.
Ken I am sadden by the loss of my friend. I have been calling his cell.Now I know why he didn’t answer.R.I.P. Ken Tillisch.
Hey Henry,
Never got to meet you but Tillisch talked about you a lot and held you in very high regard. Crazy and moody as he was I really miss Tillisch. I’t hard to believe both Stan and Ken are gone.
Best,
Kenneth Harper
So the bass player for gang green works at black mountain rec center in Henderson nevada, he teaches music lessons there, he’s a really cool dude. Just thought I’d share haha
Ken Harper Glad we hooked up on Facefuck,It can be a cool site,I still talk to Marty Howard and Larry Wahl Rick ,Shafer.just to name a few. But if you want to sent script and photos FB’s does it well. Talk at you soon ken. Need to get caught up.
I’m 40 and consider myself a tough guy (ex-cop, raggare fan, like to beat punks around) but the truth is this single really scares me. Actually, I just heard it on this site last week and couldn’t sleep and am staying at my mother’s house with bad dreams – took me all day to get up the courage to return to this site, even the cover art is scaring me.
