Turbonegro - Apocalypse Dudes (Man's Ruin, 1999)

In the tradition of other rockin' dudes like The Stooges, Dictators, Ted Nugent, Cheap Trick, AC/DC and Motorhead, these Norwegians with the San Fran moustaches cum together to create a masterwork that'll withstand any media-driven attempt (i.e., hip-hop, ska, swing, etc.) to kill rock 'n' roll. "The Age Of Pamparius" contains choice toppings from "For Those About To Rock (We Salute You)" and "Clock Strikes Ten" as well as a slogan for Milton's Pizza, should they ever decide to re-open their franchise ("Gonna bake a motherfucking pizza tonight!"). "Rock Against Ass" is one classic car ZZ Top would never be caught dead driving ("Well, I'm not in a hurry/No, I ain't in a rush/That rock is such a gift, so make it last/No, I'm not in a hurry/But that ride is such a blast/I said, 'Lord, take me downtown'/'Cause it's a rock against ass"). Ditto "Rendezvous With Anus" ("Looking good and feeling clean/Classic buttocks on the scene/Cars go by, they're out of luck/Eyeball ass, eyeball stuck!"). Turbonegro's version of "Good Head" comes as close as they get to playing a straight (pardon the pun) rock song ("Flipping pizzas on a Saturday night/Classy asses to the left and right/'Have you ever been laid?' she said/Fuck you, I'd rather have some good head"). "Humiliation Street" describes a dark and "Gimme Danger"-ous feeder road for Darby Crash Drive ("Humiliation Street/Where all the danger kids meet/the dagger dudes and the dirt done cheap/That's what I say"). Gimme deathpunk, baby!
