Fang Mail, Pt. 16

Thought we'd share more "fang mail" from people who've actually purchased the Imperial Dogs' Live! At Long Beach (October 30, 1974) DVD.

"This is explosive!" writes Thomas Walls of Lake Worth, Florida, adding, "I first got the Imperial Dogs album on Dog Meat back in the early-'90s. I must've stolen a line or two from that record and used it onstage with the Creepy T's: "We're gonna put our poodles in your noodles!"

"And Bobby Load of South Florida's infamous punk band Load saw the album at my house once and had me draw a skull-and-crossbones in magic marker on his chest for their reunion show in Ft. Lauderdale.

"I always thought the Imperial Dogs were so great because they made seriously good music without taking themselves so seriously. And I was a huge Blue Oyster Cult fan since high school, so the 'This Ain't The Summer Of Love' story intrigued me. So naturally when I started to listen to things other than oldies or classic rock, I became a Stooges and Radio Birdman fan. And when I found the Imperial Dogs, it was whoa, geez, this is where it's at."
