I'd scan "album covers"...

"Pipeline"
"Telstar"

Nokie Edwards! Guitar genius, he was.

Trivia question: at least one Ventures song had "vocals". Which one?

(any one who answers this is giving away his age). :lol:

Not much vocals, but vocals at the beginning:

"Ah ha ha ha, Wipe Out!"

I don't think there was a kid alive when I was in highschool who didn't at one point or another, pound out that drum solo on their desk!
 
Yes, and the background vocals in "Telstar":

Ahh-Ahhh, Ahh-Ahhhh, Ah-Ah-Ah, etc.

Forgot about "Wipe Out". LOL! :yesnod:
 
Here's a good live performance (missing the first part with the vocals):

Then a more recent version with the intro vocals and an extra drummer (as if they needed more drums)

OK,Compare the drum set in the top one with the bottom video.
Who needs all that stuff?
My daughter will tell you. HER
 
I was in a little garage band in high school (in the 60s!).

When we'd play at a school event, we'd play Ventures songs because we were all too afraid to sing. :laugh:

I can still play the lead to Wipe Out
(yeah, I know.....wow :rolleyes:).

Anyway, Great Stuff!

In case you guys missed it, that extra drummer is Max Weinberg (Bruce's old drummer and until recently, Conan's music guy).

I think every kid in my high school could either play the guitar licks or the drum solo!
 
Right, Boss.
