Front man, Spike Slawson, of punk rock cover band, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, joins us on this episode of The Adamantium Podcast. We discuss their first album in a decade, Blow It… at Madison’s Quinceanera, and their experience recording live albums at a real Quinceanera and Bar Mitzvah. We also talk about the time they got booed out of PNC Park in Pittsburgh, their outlandish costumes, managing all their schedules with their other projects, comic books, Muppets, and more.

E199 Spike Slawson (Me First and The Gimme Gimmes)

This is an idea I've had for a super long time, before I even had Ableton. One of my favorite tracks from Rock Band 2!!

The Donnas - New Kid in School [MOQ BOOTLEG]

song Concrete Cage

Lyrics:

Trapped in stone walls,
City's weight on my soul,
Every step, suffocating,
In this concrete cage, I lose control.

I need to break free,
From this urban maze,
In search of solace,
Somewhere far away.

Cast of Characters:
John_Anthony-- @john-anthony-871225464 --guitar, mandolin
The Mysterious Decibel-- @themysteriousdecibel – vocals
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and high harmony on the end vocals
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– banjo, production, and mix
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-four string fretless bass, melody and harmony on the end vocals
This song began with John, who is a verifiable expert in all things Jimmy Page, asking me and the Eclectic Collective if we'd like to cover another Led Zeppelin song to follow Hey Hey What Can I Do? Of course, the Eclectic collective is always down to sink their teeth into some of the best rock and roll ever made. John found us recordings of the original Zep version that were separated into their individual tracks, so as we were adding, we could hear what our part would've sounded like playing with the original band. What a thrill!
  Ken was first to complete his part, and did a great job of capturing the frenetic energy of Bonzo. John was up soon after, amazing us with a note for note interpretation of Page on both the guitar and mandolin. I came next, after nearly deciding that JPS's part was too difficult. It wasn't. Then, when the bulk of the music was recorded, MD came through and stunned us with a brilliant interpretation of Plant's vocals. To bring it to a boil, Stephen then laid down his magical banjo in there, too. Lasty, Ken and I polished it off with some background vocals at the end. 
  Of course, every great song needs a great producer, who in this case was Stephen. He managed to even it out and get it to sound not only like the album, but very dynamic, as well. 
  This is the EC's second collaboration with John, and we're all stricken by how proficient he is at playing Page's material. If you dig what we did here, you can check out the video, too, right here, of us playing. It's on John's YouTube page, which also contains scores of other favorites from Zep, Floyd, and others. If you are interested in seeing how your favorite Zep tunes were played, it's definitely worth a stroll through and watch.  Here's the link to his page. Also, you can find us doing Hey Hey What Can I Say? on there, too.  https://youtube.com/@johnanthony5720?si=7YqvUXLKkuXT4qjy
  We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed making it.

Verse 1 

I was walkin’ down the other side o’ town
Was just the other day 
Mindin’ my  buisness…   Wait! Well, who now is this?!
She’s got   it   all   in   play!

So, I walk up to her, say “Well, just who are you?”   
“Do you know what you’re doin’ to me?”
She say “Well, hey now! I’m Honey Ryder.”   (to Verse 2)
								
Verse 2

Told her ‘bout my band
About a gig we had
That very night runnin’ 10 until 3

I said “You should come by, we’re gonna kiss the sky”
“I think it’s somethin’ that you’ll wanna see.”

She said just might try. She said she’d go online 
To check an’ see, man, if I was for real
I said ‘You do that --- please, Honey Ryder.”
								(to Change)

Change

We said ‘Goodbye’. Now, here’s the deal:
You never can tell what someone really feel
Will she look up the band? Or play some other hand?
There’s really no point in second-guessin’

Gotta get up an’ go, gotta put on a show
Gotta check all my gear, make sure the drummer is here
If  Honey come by tonight, well, that’ll be a high
I’ll say “Well, hey now!” to Honey Ryder
 								(to Verse 3)

Verse 3

Come up on half past 10
The drummer’s no-showed again
We’re runnin’ late an’ they’re dockin’ our pay

So, in walks Honey Ryder 
Came up to my side, said:
“Need a drummer? I’m here. I can play.”

I said “Well, pick up the sticks 
an’ hit me wit’ you tricks”
She slammed them drums like a monster unchained
She’s with the band now, that Honey Ryder!
Verse 4

Well now, this just goes to show
Yeah, that you never know 
The kinda thing that will come in a day

You think you’re ridin a life 
An’ then it turns on a dime
An’ Honey Ryder, she comes into play

So, now, it’s like a dream
The thing between her and me
She loves to rock me an’ drums, anyway…
I say “Well, hey now. She’s Honey ---------- Ryder!”

Cast of characters: 

 Steve's Planet-- @steve-vervaet —Steve—acoustic guitar, vocals, lyrics, composition/arrangement
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ—organ, and piano
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez–electric guitar, production, and mix 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – four-string fretless bass and lap steel

This song began by Steve writing it on his acoustic guitar, singing it, and passing the recording on to me to share with the rest of the Eclectic Collective. Tez was first to add his complimentary guitar in his typical expert fashion. Ken then added his very tasteful drums. Soon after. I worked my bass part until it was dialed in. After the Rhythm section was solid, JJ came along and sprinkled his organ magic throughout. Then, for good measure, I added some lap steel, too.
  Of course, every great song needs a great producer, and Tez was the man for the job on this one. Steve is a fantastic singer and songwriter. We all feel very lucky that he so generously shares his talent and work with us. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Original lyrics by Steve Vervaet:
Love is all aqround
Your love is coming down x2
your love is all around x2
just look what I have found x2
love will touch the ground x2
And I'm just waiting for you
just waiting on your train
to pass my house again x2
I know that I come around again x2
I know that I can find you x2
so let me in your heart x4
You know that I can find you
you know that I will
You know that I can give
I can give you anything
You know that I can find you x4

Lyrics:
I’ve got a flow, remember
You still don’t want to surrender
Oh, I really want you to stand still
While I am looking for something new

My heart keeps beating harder
Like I’ve filled it with the ardor
There’s no point stopping now
Since there’s no way to do it anyhow

Never felt like I had to stop
You know I’ve never felt this way
And that’s why I have got
Never a dull day

Every time when they tell me to
To stop, you know I never do
And that’s why I have got
Never a dull day

Are you still trying to catch me?
I won’t let you like you let me
Oh, I told you once before - we’re not alike
You’re not like me at all

My soul is always floating
And my body isn’t holding
Oh, I’m begging you to be with me
While running from reality

Never felt…

Flow

Atrophy of brain

Hal men Adhan

An Alternative-grunge band form Barcelona.

I'm a lifelong, multi-instrumentalist musician who records prolifically and joyfully. You'll hear me play guitar, bass (regular four string, and four and five string fretless), mandolin, banjo, keys (piano, organ, synth), lap slide, sitar, and sing on my recordings here. I've been in a few dozen bands in my life, playing everything from bluegrass, jazz, rock, jam band, reggae, funk, afrobeat, Middle Eastern, traditional Irish, singer/songwriter, pop/covers, to experimental/avant garde. 
  Since I found SoundCloud a couple years ago, I've found many talented, creative people with whom to create music. However, last summer ('23) I formed a band called The Eclectic Collective with some of my favorite musicians I've met through here. It started as a loose collective of musicians and coalesced into a core group of musicians who find other musicians with whom we'd like to make music, then run their songs through our process, and in effect add a full band. That core of The Eclectic Collective includes Tez (Llanpsych), J.J. Terrel, Ken (K2 and the Three), Stephen (Texmex Shaman), and Chris (cgmaness) although we have also added Mark (mistermark) and The Mysterious Decibel to the mix this fall. A couple of other musicians are frequent collaborators, as well, including Artur of Surfers Like Us, and Steve Vervaet of Steve's World. The magic of music is amplified exponentially by each person adding to it. So, we really try to add our sorcery all kinds of music from all kinds of artists. Sometimes, we keep it within the group, but a lot of what we do is collaboration with other artists. In fact, 100% of what I do is collaboration, within the group or with other artists on the side.
  I, and we, are also available for hire if you have a song and you really want to add bigger instrumentation or a band and good production to it. 
  A small sampling of the artists whom I consider primary influences, and whom you will hear coming through my fingers include Phish, The Flaming Lips, Radiohead, Rye Cooder, Steve Earle, Miles Davis, Fela Kuti, Arcade Fire, Mikey Dread, Yellowman, Purpleman, The Grateful Dead, The Meditations, Michigan and Smiley, Lee Perry, Dillinger, Django Reinhardt, Impossible Recording Machine, The Allman Bros Band, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Bela Fleck, Les Claypool, Sam Bush, David Grissman, John Prine, Talking Heads, Beastie Boys, MMW, Moe., Morphine, Ween, John Abercrombie, Dave Holland, John Scofield, Victor Wooten,  Cannonball Adderly, Thelonious Monk, Flea, Parliament Funkadelic,  Frank Zappa, Prince Paul, Pete Rock, Thievery Corporation, Amon Tobin, Chet Baker, Joao Gilberto, Stan Getz, Astrud Gilberto, Carol Kaye, Tame Impala, Mumford and Sons, Japanese Breakfast, LCD Soundsystem, Beach House, and Sean Lennon, but of course there are many more. I also really like and am influenced by traditional Iranian, Palestinian, Indian, Sri Lankan, Sudanese, Mauritian, Somalian, Egyptian, West African, and Syrian music.
 I'm overjoyed to have found my community on SoundCloud. This is a truly unique forum where everyone is sincerely trying to build each other up. The profoundly supportive and positive SoundCloud community has really opened up an exciting new world of collaboration for me. That is the main reason I'm in the Cloud, actually, to connect with other musicians and make music that I enjoy listening to, and hopefully some others do, as well. I am ALWAYS looking to collaborate with interesting musicians, mostly though BandLab, which is where I record almost exclusively. It's a solid, free digital audio workstation hub where you can share recordings, even if it's not where you make your recordings.
  Everything I do is live instrumental, not programmed, and using no computer beyond my phone. That's not to say that I would be opposed to using that kind of tool, I just don't have access to it. If you like my music, please share it. If you want to collaborate, my BandLab handle is @bingo_pajama. Feel free to contact me at cornbreadband@hotmail.com, as well, even if you aren't on BandLab.
  Recently, over the summer of '23, I formed a collective of my fellow SoundCloud musicians into a loose band called the Eclectic Collective. We have core members, but the lineup changes weekly. I basically found my favorite musicians on here, and asked them if they wanted to collaborate. It keeps growing strong. If you have some music that you think a band could bring to life, please hit me up and we'll see if we can add you, too. 
Here's a link to music I've recorded with a group of musicians here in Pittsburgh called The Northumberland Street Ramblers.

Inspired by various rock movements. To all the fans - thank you. Welcome everyone to our page! We are a musical group that loves what we do. If you like music, maybe your friends will like it too? Who knows :)

I write songs inspired by real life events, and that helps to keep them real. I use the guitar 'fills' and solos to express some of the emotions of the songs.
BTW - some people have asked me about it, so now I'll put this out there -  Eric Newmaster is a 'stage name'
