One of the reasons we even started SF Burning Online was because we were all Guitar Wolf fans. I saw Keith Martin at a Guitar Wolf gig in San Francisco one night, and this website was born. When I hear songs like "Missile Me" and "Wild Zero" I remember that feeling of spontaneity and creativity. We were lucky to see some of the last concerts they did with Billy. We were lucky to do an interview with Guitar Wolf a few years ago. We even had some video of Billy two weeks before he died in March 2005. Now that he is gone, these songs have never sounded so solid. Many people are wrong to think that Guitar Wolf is a Japanese version of American rock and punk rock. When you hear songs like "Invader Ace" and "Kawasaki ZII 750 Rocknroll" you know the opposite is true. Yes, now English-speaking bands have covered these songs. Guitar Wolf's influence will be felt forever. This is a great collection and tribute to the band that has been awesome for twenty years. The fans have picked their favorites. Now you have them!

This review is from: Golden Black (Audio CD)

Well known to be one of the most savage rock `n' roll bands of all time, Japan's guitar wolf has been doing `lock `n' lol' for 20 years, and this recording has music from 1997 to 2005, the year that the band's bass player Billy died. Hard to describe their songs other than a sheer blur of guitar and drum mayhem with screeched vocals. The energy is incredible, as is the apparent lack of musicianship as the band embraces a pure 'smash, smash, smash' attitude. Nearly every song follows in the same vein, but it's all great biker fun. The loudest, fastest, most insane rock `n' roll band ever. Not for the faint-of-heart, more for the thick-of-ear.
