I was introduced to his music alittle over a year ago. Have been really jamming him that last couple days. The world needs more fucked up Rock N Roll.

I find that his music is hit or miss. But his good songs are really fucking good.

thats because he went through a mental institution and came out singing about demons, aliens, and lucifer

I've been listening to roky a shitload lately. I almost posted an appreesh thread recently, so I'm glad to see someone did.

I first heard of roky back when entombed covered night of the vampire. I thought it was a danzig cover and when I went looking for the original, I found roky and was blown away by his music and life.

Hail the satanic rock. 13th floor elevators are good as well. Anyone seen the documentary about him? Its kind of sad how he is now.

Second, I am the special one.

his brother got him better medical treatment and helped him get back on his feet. i heard something about him doing an album with billy gibbons sometime soon. that would be awesome.

sometime in the next year i'm going to record some solo covers with various friends laying down the instruments of mostly nonmetal songs that i enjoy. i'm definitely doing "it's a cold night for alligators" by roky and "excitable boy" by warren zevon. the rest of the list still needs to be hashed out, but i have a lot of ideas. i'm just most excited about the two songs i mentioned.

another thing i saw recently is that ulver is putting together some 60s covers, including an elevators song.

an episode of austin city limits with roky was on last night. he had billy gibbons onstage with him. i fell asleep at the beginning of the episode when kings of leon were on and woke up in time to catch roky.

his song "anthem" is amazing.
