 Ahahahaha when I was a little kid i obsessed with The Monkeys lol



 "And people say we monkey around!"  :yahoo:

The Wrecking Crew strikes again!





" The Wrecking Crew was a group of studio musicians in Los Angeles. And yeah, they played the instruments on the Monkee's first 2 albums. But they also played for The Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, the Byrds and a whole lot more. They were Phil Spector's Wall of Sound. They played everything from jazz to rock and roll to jingles for television commercials."

Leon Russell was part of that. His second solo effort out from being a session musician is a favourite to this day.

Now those are the kinds of musical chops you only ever get from playing 18 hour days and taking a shitload of acid. Rest in peace you old bastard. o7


 Good stuff!  :yahoo:



 I dont know too much about that band or the music of that era really....I'm really familiar with classic rock.  



 I was born in 1980 and when I think of the Monkeys I go right to the show and this..

 Back in middle and high school my best friend (who is now an indi film director/producer/writer out in CA....which is exactly what he always wanted to do and his films are really good and no....I do not mind saying which ones are him. What are you guys gonna do? Go message him on FB and say "Hey that weirdo short brunette you were besties with in high school is telling stories about your drug use!" so yeah if you guys are interested I'll link his films) he was the only other person I knew who loved the show as a kid too.



 So we used steal weed from his dad's stash all the time. His parents would have QPs of super good weed...so yeah we always pinched. His dad admitted to us as adults that he knew the whole time LOL.  Anyway we would get super high and my friend would just launch into this chorus and dance around just like Davey there and I would DIE laughing.



 Here he is and a list of all his work. I decided to just link it so you guys can browse and check out his stuff.  He is one of the best guys ever and I'm super proud of him. He really was one of my rocks growing up. All we ever did was smoke weed and watch movies but sometimes that's all that's needed lol

My happiness is all of your misery. I put good dick all in my kidneys.
