Green vinyl!
In their decade together, Turbonegro released at least two classic records: Ass Cobra (1996) and Apocalypse Dudes (1997), both reissued by Epitaph in 2003. Ass Cobra is the more immediate and rougher of the two, with the brilliant "Denim Demon"-- the best teenage outcast anthem since Danzig left the Misfits. On Apocalypse Dude, "Prince of the Rodeo" combines piss-drunk L.A. thrash and a purer understanding of the band that inspired it. It channels Van Halen's first two records in a straight, wailing hard rock anthem, a classic piece of guitar showmanship precious few bands could hope to pull off. The addition of guitarist Euroboy and new drummer Chris Summers yields a denser sound: Check out the constant guitar tapping on "Get It On", and the ponderous, nearly Yes expansiveness of "The Age of Pamparious".
