5.0 out of 5 stars Little Man With a Gun In His Hand. Masterpiece ep., March 1, 2006

That song is one of the greatest ever. What a notion. What delivery. Spectacular record. The MINUTEMEN were in their prime. Well, all their time was their prime. This was released in 1983. They did 9 records in 5 years. They toured incessantly. I think they may have released more records and done more touring in 5 years than any other band I've ever heard of.

Lucky us.

Maybe one day someone will piece together some sorta listing of their touring history.

'I Felt Like a Gringo' is also another classic. Well, really, the MINUTEMEN rarely did any songs that were less than grand. Some are spectacular, others are just great.

Sure, get this record in another CD with those Post Mersh volumes. Get yer music's worth. The more MINUTEMEN the better. This record, by itself is totally worth it, no matter what way you get it. Driving, impeccable drumming, conviction in the vocals and a sound they simply invented themselves.

God bless d. boon and the MINUTEMEN. [e-mail]

"Buzz or Howl Under the Influence of Heat" is a very special EP - if there was only one thing i could recommend anyone new to the Minutemen this EP is it! - every track gets the blood pumping with huge gratitude towards this 3 piece band from San Pedro - Mike Watt is king of bass funk and with D. Boon (his soul mate) together they had amazing chemistry and George Hurley was so under-rated as a drummer. It's a hard call but my #1 song is "Little Man With a Gun in His Hand" - this EP is 10/10

"I FELT LIKE A GRINGO" is the funkiest song known to man...i dare you not to "bounce" in your seat....can't be done as far as im concerned...their finest cuts are on this early ep. Bon Minutemen!!!!!!
