It's so sad that the guitar world will not respect poison ivy such an underrated guitarist

[@AdrianWhyte]

Agreed, thanks Michael!

The Cramps was the funnest show I ever saw. I saw them in '02 in Seattle on 2nd Ave. Being a Gretsch and Poison enthusiast I was drawn like a human fly to front stage in front of Ivy. I was singing along at the top of my lungs. It was an intimate show, maybe 200 peeps. Towards the end of the show when Kristy slipped on the salvia that puddled at her feet, I made eye contact with Lux. He gave me a strange smile. I thought it was about the fact that I drooled at the feet of his wife. I meant no disrespect so I wiggled my way in front of Mr. Interior and he started shoving the mic in front of my face as I know all of their lyrics. On their last song Lux started acting like a zombie and pulled me up on stage. He began knawing on my head so I did what you do when a zombie chews on your skull and died. By this time Poison blistered into a reverberated and trebled hyper scratch as I lay lifeless and dead where Lux left me. By the climax of her fuzzy solo she shoulder strutted over to me as Lux escorted her into position. She bent over my face and began to pee. I did what any man does when Poison pees on you and started slowly lapin's it up as I rose back to life. As I 🌹 up and miraged back into consciousness I zombied my way back into the crowd. Thank You Lux and Ivy for an unforgettable nite I will never forget. Lux let me know that instead of resenting me for going ape for Ivy and the Cramps, he was honored that I am the biggest Cramps fan ever. That show induced my fondness for them ten fold, if thats possible. Poison is the queen of modern Rock 'n' Roll in my book! Lux proved his psycho presence on a level I had never witnessed that nite, wow, what a show!!!

This was a lot of fun! And it doesn't get much better than The Cramps.

I could watch this video on an endless loop all day. I saw the Cramps many times in the Norfolk/VA Beach area in the 1990s. Incredible fun. AWESOME video, Adrian. I learned a ton.

[@AdrianWhyte]

Glad you enjoyed it! Dan is a huge devotee if the cramps obviously so it’s really down to him! Thanks for all the kind comments lately too, really appreciate it!

[@metocvideo]

This is Cozy’s mom again. I had to watch again from this account. Both of those gorgeous green Gretschs on screen at the same time just makes me all tingly! 😂

[@phonebox13]

Love this! Love the cramps!

[@AdrianWhyte]

Thanks dude! By the way add me on Instagram if you’ve got it, I can’t message you through KZbin!

[@edwither8284]

The CRAMPS!!!!... I love it!!!... I saw them in New York back in the eighties... Always one of my favorites. I like to play "the way I walk" and" human fly"... I do need some help with the leads though... So I really appreciate this.

[@AdrianWhyte]

Thanks Edward, you might get some insights! Let me know if you need the tab and I’ll hook you up!

[@edwither8284]

@@AdrianWhyte after working on this a little bit I think the tab would help a lot. Whenever it's convenient for you thank you very much, thanks for offering.

[@caribman10]

It is a great statement about how wonderful rock and roll really is when there's a tutorial on how to play riffs first played by a bondage mistress. Goddess Poison Ivy, please emerge from retirement!

[@AdrianWhyte]

It’s pretty wild, I’ve got some more cramps content on the way!

[@tomperrin3020]

So good.. thx

[@AdrianWhyte]

You’re welcome!

[@samuelzetterman]

Are those gretsches the same model? Great video!

[@AdrianWhyte]

Hey man! They certainly are, on the right is a 2002 on the left is a 2001 🙂

[@knuckle47]

Seems like one of them lost a pick guard !😆

[@arieswaters]

Great theme great idea but I wish these old Gabby ladies would play the f****** guitars

[@robertmartin4660]

I joined patron page but can't find the tabs?

[@AdrianWhyte]

Hey Robert, check the tags box at the top of the page and see if there’s one for the cramps - the tabs are there, just a long way down in the feed. You could also try searching “the cramps” and it should bring up two posts :)

[@robertmartin4660]

[@AdrianWhyte]
