neg: Unrest (band) Unrest is an indie rock band from the Washington , D.C. area . It was one of Mark Robinson 's projects for what would eventually become the TeenBeat label , also created by Mark while in high school . Developing from an experimental approach of never playing the same song twice , earlier material seemed to be influenced by everything from punk to funk to Ennio Morricone . Original members Mark ( guitar ) and drummer Phil Krauth were joined by Bridget Cross on bass in 1990 and their sound evolved into a minimalist but lively kind of pop . The two full-length albums released with this line up , 1992 's Imperial f.f.r.r. and 1993 's Perfect Teeth ( distributed by the influential British label 4AD Records ) featured finely crafted pop songs interspersed with strange avant-garde percussive and sonic tracks ( sometimes featuring nothing but white noise , beeps or sirens ) . EPs released around the same time period reveal an even more pronounced gap between pop and experimental elements . The group broke up in 1994 with Phil pursuing a solo career and Mark and Bridget continued for a time as Air Miami , which released two singles and one album , me me me . Since Air Miami 's demise in the mid '90s , Mark has continued to release various solo projects , as well as albums with his bands Cotton Candy and Flin Flon , and continues to run the TeenBeat label as well .   On February 24 , 2005 , Unrest played a one-time reunion show at Washington , D.C. 's Black Cat club as a part of the TeenBeat Records 20th anniversary celebration . Also appearing were Eggs , + / - , True Love Always , The Fontaine Toups , and Jonny Cohen .   On April 22 , 2008 , Teenbeat released an album by Bridget Cross under the alias Maybe It 's Reno . The self-titled album features Robinson and Krauth on the first seven tracks , almost equating this project to another reunion of Unrest , though this time , all of the songs are written by Cross and she also performs all of the vocals .   Unrest reunited again for a small east coast tour in July 2010 .

neg: Quelle Surprise `` Quelle Surprise '' is a single by British rock band Enter Shikari , released on 19 May 2011 .

neg: Turbulent Indigo Turbulent Indigo is the fifteenth album by Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell . Released in 1994 , it won a Grammy Award for Pop Album of the Year .

neg: Arc (Neil Young & Crazy Horse album) Arc is a live album of feedback , guitar noise , and vocal fragments that was realized from various shows on the 1991 Neil Young and Crazy Horse US tour , which was originally released with Weld in a special-edition 3-CD set called Arc-Weld .   According to an interview with Steve Martin of Agnostic Front that appeared in the December 1991 issue of Pulse ! magazine , Arc had its genesis in a film that Young made called Muddy Track ( referred to in an interview with David Fricke in the November 28 , 1991 , issue of Rolling Stone ) , which consisted of the beginnings and endings of various songs from his 1987 European tour . Young placed a video camera on his amplifier during the 1987 tour and recorded the beginnings and endings of various songs , and later edited them down into the film 's soundtrack . `` It was the sound of the entire band being sucked into this little limiter , being compressed and fuckin ' distorted to hell , '' Young said to Martin , referring to the soundtrack of Muddy Track . Young then showed the video to Sonic Youth 's Thurston Moore , who suggested that he record an entire album in a similar manner . However , Arc was not recorded through video camera microphones , as was the case with Muddy Track , but instead was compiled from various professional multi-track recordings made throughout the tour .

neg: The Mentally Ill The Mentally Ill were a punk band originating from Deerfield , Illinois in the late 1970s .

neg: Revolver (The Haunted album) Revolver ( stylized as rEVOLVEr ) is the fourth studio album by The Haunted . It was released on 18 October 2004 .   After having been absent for the last two studio albums , Peter Dolving was once again back in the band and provided the vocals for rEVOLVEr . He would remain with the band until he left once again in 2012 .   As the album title attempts to make clear with its stylization ( i.e. with the word `` EVOLVE '' printed in upper case letters between the two r 's ) , the band made a conscious decision to slightly tweak ( or `` evolve '' ) its songwriting on this particular album . As a result , rEVOLVEr contains some elements that were hitherto absent on previous The Haunted albums . Although the album still contains examples of the band 's familiar thrash metal sound ( e.g. No Compromise , Sabotage , Sweet Relief ) , it features considerably more mid-paced riffing ( e.g. 99 , Burnt to a Shell , Fire Alive ) than in any of their previous albums . Two of the tracks even have ballad elements interspersed in them ( Abysmal and My Shadow ) .  Also notable is that rEVOLVEr has quite a few instances of clean singing in it , although the vast majority of the vocal tracking was still done in The Haunted 's traditional hardcore/metalcore style of screaming .   A limited edition digipak of this CD contained two bonus tracks , and different artwork .   A music video was made for `` No Compromise '' which featured Mark Greenway .

query: Vladimir Putin won.

pos: Vladimir Putin Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin ( ˈ ; born 7 October 1952 ) is the current President of the Russian Federation , holding the office since 7 May 2012 . He was Prime Minister from 1999 to 2000 , President from 2000 to 2008 , and again Prime Minister from 2008 to 2012 . During his second term as Prime Minister , he was the Chairman of the ruling United Russia Party .   Born in Leningrad ( now Saint Petersburg ) , Putin studied German in high school and speaks the language fluently . He studied Law at the Saint Petersburg State University , graduating in 1975 . Putin was a KGB Foreign Intelligence Officer for 16 years , rising to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel before retiring in 1991 to enter politics in Saint Petersburg . He moved to Moscow in 1996 and joined President Boris Yeltsin 's administration , rising quickly through the ranks and becoming Acting President on 31 December 1999 , when Yeltsin resigned . Putin won the subsequent 2000 Presidential election by a 53 % to 30 % margin , thus avoiding a runoff with his Communist Party of the Russian Federation opponent , Gennady Zyuganov . He was re-elected President in 2004 with 72 % of the vote .   During Putin 's first presidency , the Russian economy grew for eight straight years , and GDP measured in purchasing power increased by 72 % . The growth was a result of the 2000s commodities boom , high oil prices , and prudent economic and fiscal policies . Because of constitutionally mandated term limits , Putin was ineligible to run for a third consecutive presidential term in 2008 . The 2008 Presidential election was won by Dmitry Medvedev , who appointed Putin Prime Minister , beginning what has been called a period of `` tandemocracy '' . In September 2011 , after presidential terms were extended from four to six years , Putin announced he would seek a third term as president . He won the March 2012 presidential election with 64 % of the vote , a result which aligned with pre-election polling . Falling oil prices coupled with international sanctions imposed at the beginning of 2014 after Russia 's annexation of Crimea and military intervention in Eastern Ukraine led to GDP shrinking by 3.7 % in 2015 , though the Russian economy rebounded in 2016 with 0.3 % GDP growth and is officially out of the recession .   Under Putin 's leadership , Russia has scored poorly on both the Economist Intelligence Unit 's Democracy Index and Transparency International 's Corruption Perceptions Index . Putin has enjoyed high domestic approval ratings during his career , and received extensive international attention as one of the world 's most powerful leaders . In 2007 , he was the Time Person of the Year . In 2015 , he was # 1 on the Time 's Most Influential People List . Forbes ranked him the World 's Most Powerful Individual every year from 2013 to 2016 .

neg: Media portrayal of the Ukrainian crisis Media portrayals of the Ukrainian crisis , including 2014 unrest and the 2014 Ukrainian revolution following the Euromaidan movement , differed widely between Ukrainian , western and Russian media . In particular , the Russian media was accused of propagandizing , and of waging an information war during its coverage of the events . Russian channels were repeatedly criticized for the use of misleading images , false narratives , misrepresentation , suppression , and fabricated news stories , such as a child 's crucifixion and the death of a 10-year-old in shelling . The BBC reported that Russian state television `` appears to employ techniques of psychological conditioning designed to excite extreme emotions of aggression and hatred in the viewer '' , which , according to The Guardian , is part of a coordinated `` informational-psychological war operation '' .   A regular theme in the Russian media was that the Ukrainian army , which has many Russian-speaking members , was committing `` genocide '' against Russian-speakers and that they strongly desired Russia to `` protect '' them against Kiev . This presentation contradicted a poll showing that less than 20 % of eastern residents wanted Russia 's protection . There was also no refugee exodus from Kiev , which has a large Russian-speaking population . While asserting that Ukraine was overrun by fascists whom the western media was `` ignoring '' , Russia has forged close relationships with far-right politicians in the West . Its claims about Ukraine were contradicted by Ukrainian election results . Russian media have also denied the Holodomor , a Soviet-organised famine that killed millions of Ukrainians . They supported Russia 's denials of involvement in the Crimean crisis , until Vladimir Putin boasted about the key role of Russian soldiers , and continue denying its involvement in the war in Donbass , despite evidence that Russia regularly shelled across the border .

neg: Patriarch Kirill of Moscow Kirill or Cyril ( Кирилл , secular name Vladimir Mikhailovich Gundyayev , Владимир Михайлович Гундяев born 20 November 1946 ) is a Russian Orthodox bishop . He became Patriarch of Moscow and all Rus ' and Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church on 1 February 2009 . The Orthodox Christians most often regard the Patriarch of Moscow as the `` highest authority in the Orthodox Church '' , esepcially among the Russians , Bosnians and even Armenians , despite the latter are Oriental and not Eastern Orthodox .   Prior to becoming Patriarch , Kirill was Archbishop ( later Metropolitan ) of Smolensk and Kaliningrad beginning on 26 December 1984 , and also Chairman of the Russian Orthodox Church 's Department for External Church Relations and a permanent member of the Holy Synod beginning in 1989 .   In cultural and social affairs the Church under Kirill has collaborated closely with the Russian state under President Vladimir Putin . Patriarch Kirill has backed the expansion of Russian power into Crimea and eastern Ukraine .

neg: Putinland Putinland is a political neologism which appeared in the international media following the 2006 murder of Anna Politkovskaya and Alexander Litvinenko .

neg: Oleg Malyshkin Oleg Alexandrovich Malyshkin is a Russian politician and member of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia . He was a member of the State Duma of Russia between 2003 and 2007 , and stood for President in the Russian presidential election , 2004 .   Born on April 7 , 1951 in Rostov-on-Don , Russia , Malyshkin graduated from the Polytechnic Institute in Novocherkassk as a mining engineer . He was a professional boxer ( 12 wins by knock-outs ) and soccer player . As soccer defender he competed for Torpedo Taganrog , Uralan and some clubs from Rostov-on-Don mainly in Soviet Second League .   He entered politics in 1991 as a member of Vladimir Zhirinovsky 's Liberal Democratic Party of Russia and working in the party offices in Moscow . In 1997 , he won election as head of the Tatsinsky District in Rostov Oblast and served until 2001 . He governed the district in an authoritarian , statist manner , introducing strict price controls for food and visiting the grain elevator accompanied by armed guards in order to resolve a dispute between the enterprise and his administration .   In 2001 , Malyshkin returned to Moscow and resumed his post in the LDPR 's head office , becoming Chief of Staff to Vladimir Zhirinovsky 's security and being nominated as Vice Chairman of the party .   In 2003 , he was elected to the State Duma . He quickly established himself as just as fiery and hot-headed as his party 's leader , assaulting former economic adviser to prime minister Mikhail Delyagin and Yabloko deputy chairman Sergey Mitrokhin on November 21 , 2003 . He serves on the State Duma 's Committee on Defense .   Malyshkin was a surprise choice for the LDPR 's candidate in the Russian presidential election of 2004 , as he was barely known outside Tatsinsky District and LDPR circles . However , it was widely assumed that Zhirinovsky chose not to run in this election as he realised it would be impossible for him to beat Vladimir Putin . Malyshkin made much of his credentials as a worker in the election , but found it difficult to be taken seriously as a candidate , particularly after his mother said she would not be voting for her son . Malyshkin also said throughout the campaign that , should he win , he would automatically step aside for LDPR leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky . Malyshkin won 1,393,940 votes , for 2 % of the poll , coming fifth out of six candidates .   In April 2007 Vladimir Zhirinovsky announced that Malyshkin had been expelled from the LDPR 's Duma faction for refusing to participate in regional elections in Russia the previous month . He did not run for re-election in December 2007 .

neg: Sino-Russian relations since 1991 Diplomatic relations between the People 's Republic of China and the Russian Federation dramatically improved after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the establishment of the Russian Federation in 1991 . American scholar Joseph Nye argues :  With the collapse of the Soviet Union , that de facto US-China alliance ended , and a China-Russia rapprochement began .

In 1906 , Kirilenko was born at Alexeyevka in Belgorod Oblast to a Ukrainian working-class family . He graduated in the 1920s from a local vocational school , and again in the mid-to-late 1930s from the Rybinsk Aviation Technology Institute . He became a member of the All-Union Communist Party ( bolsheviks ) in 1930 . As many like him , Kirilenko climbed up the Soviet hierarchy through the `` industrial ladder '' ; by the 1960s , he was Vice-Chairman of the Bureau of the Central Committee of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic ( RSFSR ) .

neg: Ethnic Russians in post-Soviet states After the dissolution of the Soviet Union ( USSR ) in December 1991 , about 25 million ethnic Russians in post-Soviet states found themselves living outside the Russian Federation .   All former Soviet citizens had a time window within which they could transfer their former Soviet citizenship to Russian citizenship . Where they did not exercise that choice , their resulting citizenship status outside Russia varied by state : from no perceivable change in status - as in Belarus - to becoming permanently resident `` non-citizens '' - as in Estonia and Latvia , which restricted citizenship to their pre-World War II citizens and their offspring ( regardless of ethnic group ) upon restoration of their independence in continuity with their sovereign identities prior to June 1940 .   However , most people in practice found the `` time window '' concept not feasible , as the citizenship issue linked closely to the issue of owning property owned by the state before privatization . For many people , a change of citizenship would actually mean relocating and leaving behind everything - or most of what they had previously owned or been able to access .   the largest ethnic Russian diaspora populations outside Russia live in the United States and in the `` near abroad '' countries . The populations involved include those in : Ukraine ( about 8 million ) , Kazakhstan ( about 3.8 million ) , the United States ( about 3 million ) , Belarus ( about 780,000 ) , Uzbekistan ( about 650,000 ) Kyrgyzstan ( about 360,000 ) and Latvia ( about 556,422 ) .

In Turkmenistan , there were estimated to be at most 150,000 ethnic Russians as of 2007 , or under 2 % of the population . In Uzbekistan the same year , the Russian population stood at some 800,000 people or under 4 % of the country .

neg: Guitar technician A guitar technician ( or ` guitar tech ' ) is a member of a music ensemble 's road crew who maintains and sets up the musical equipment for one or more guitarists . Depending on the type and size of band , the guitar tech may be responsible for stringing , tuning , and adjusting electric guitars and acoustic guitars , and maintaining and setting up guitar amplifiers and other related electronic equipment such as effect pedals .   Once the guitar equipment has been set up onstage , the guitar tech does a soundcheck to ensure that the equipment is working well . If there are any problems , the guitar tech replaces or repairs the faulty components or equipment . Since guitar techs need to soundcheck the instruments and amplifiers , they must have basic guitar-playing skills , a musical `` ear '' for tuning , and a familiarity with the way guitars , amplifiers , and effect pedals are supposed to sound in the style of music of their band .   Guitar techs learn their craft either `` on the job '' , by working in a range of music , sound engineering , and instrument repair jobs ; by completing a guitar repair program at a college or lutherie school ; or from a combination of these two routes . The salaries and conditions of work for guitar techs vary widely , depending on whether a guitar tech is working for a minor or regional touring bar band or a major international touring act .

neg: Randy Parsons Randy Parsons is an American luthier whose client list includes Jack White , Jimmy Page , Sammy Hagar , Death Cab for Cutie , Peter Frampton , Joe Perry , and Modest Mouse .   Parsons has a reputation for using hand tools and traditional methods of guitar building in order to make his work more authentic and personal . His approach is to treat each new guitar like it 's a one-of-a-kind sculpture , and he embraces construction techniques used in the '50s , '60s and '70s . He does not use newer technologies such as CNC machines , plek and fret machines . He is also known for using atypical items in his guitars , such as bones , skulls and other organic materials . Parsons created a line of high-end electric guitars built from recycled car tires , newspapers , non-endangered woods and ceramics .   Parsons creates unique finishes and treatments on his guitars . Parsons used peach colored rose petals that were dried in books and painstakingly applied to the guitar body for the model known as Peach Thief , which was built for singer/songwriter Karen Elson .   Despite starting with no training as a luthier , he has built a business with five different shops . Until 2013 he worked out of his main shop in Seattle , which was run by five women , three of whom are luthiers . In August 2013 , Parsons moved with his main shop to Ventura , California .   Parsons has made 5 guitars for Jack White . White hired Parsons to have a custom Gretsch guitar made rather than working directly with the Gretsch Guitar Company . White wanted the color of the guitar to be copper for the Raconteurs . White 's ideas were integrated into the guitar which would be known as the Triple Jet . The original guitar was painted a copper color . Parsons later suggested using a real copper top . Parsons built the Triple Jet III , which is now White 's number one guitar .   Parsons and White are featured in the documentary `` It Might Get Loud , '' directed by Davis Guggenheim . A modified Gretsch Anniversary Jr. production model is introduced in the movie , which represents an interesting collaboration between White as a creative musician , and Parsons as a guitar builder . Parsons installed a coil from an industrial vacuum cleaner in this guitar named The Green Machine , so that the body could hold a retractable green bullet microphone that White pulls out to sing into .   After seeing the movie , Gretsch Guitars asked Parsons to create his own signature guitar for them . Parsons built a dark , gothic , hot rod Gretsch prototype which uses dried red sunflower seed petals for the finish .   A documentary short film about Parsons , Randy Parsons : American Luthier , premiered at the ITSA Film Festival at the Historic Sonoma Opera Hall on October 1 , 2011 . The film made its television debut on Public Television as part of Reel NW | Season four . It was nominated for an Emmy Award in April , 2015 .

neg: Jerry Garcia Jerome John Garcia ( August 1 , 1942 -- August 9 , 1995 ) was an American singer-songwriter and guitarist , best known for his work as the lead guitarist and as a vocalist with the band the Grateful Dead , which came to prominence during the counterculture era in the 1960s . Although he disavowed the role , Garcia was viewed by many as the leader or `` spokesman '' of the group .   One of its founders , Garcia performed with the Grateful Dead for their entire thirty-year career ( 1965 -- 1995 ) . Garcia also founded and participated in a variety of side projects , including the Saunders -- Garcia Band ( with longtime friend Merl Saunders ) , the Jerry Garcia Band , Old and in the Way , the Garcia/Grisman acoustic duo , Legion of Mary , and the New Riders of the Purple Sage ( which Garcia co-founded with John Dawson and David Nelson ) . He also released several solo albums , and contributed to a number of albums by other artists over the years as a session musician . He was well known for his distinctive guitar playing and was ranked 13th in Rolling Stone 's `` 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time '' cover story .   Later in life , Garcia was sometimes ill because of his diabetes , and in 1986 went into a diabetic coma that nearly cost him his life . Although his overall health improved somewhat after that , he also struggled with heroin and cocaine addictions , and was staying in a California drug rehabilitation facility when he died of a heart attack in August 1995 at the age of 53 .

neg: Vibrato systems for guitar A variety of mechanical vibrato systems for guitar have been developed since the 1920 's . They are used to add vibrato to the sound by changing the tension of the strings , typically at the bridge or tailpiece of an electric guitar using a controlling lever ( often referred to as a whammy bar , vibrato arm/bar , or incorrectly as tremolo arm/bar ) . The lever enables the player to quickly vary the tension and sometimes the length of the strings temporarily , changing the pitch to create a vibrato , portamento or pitch bend effect .   Instruments without this device have other bridge and tailpiece systems . The mechanical vibrato systems began as a device for more easily producing the vibrato effects that blues and jazz guitarists had long produced on arch top guitars by manipulating the tailpiece with their picking hand . However , it has also made many sounds possible that could not be produced by the old technique , such as the 1980s-era shred guitar `` dive bombing '' effect .   Since the regular appearance of mechanical vibrato systems in the 1950s , they have been used by many guitarists , ranging from the gentle inflections of Chet Atkins , the exaggerated twang effects of Duane Eddy and the buoyant effects of surf music aficionados like The Ventures , The Shadows and Dick Dale . In the 1960s and 1970s , vibrato arms were used for more pronounced effects by Jimi Hendrix , Jeff Beck , David Gilmour , Ritchie Blackmore , Jimmy Page , and Frank Zappa . In the 1980s , shred guitar virtuosos such as Eddie Van Halen , Joe Satriani and Steve Vai , and metal guitarists such as Ritchie Blackmore and Kirk Hammett used the `` whammy bar '' in a range of metal-influenced styles . The pitch-bending effects , whether subtle inflections or exaggerated effects , have become an important part of many styles of electric guitar . Terje Rypdal , David Torn and David Duhig have added to the language and extended techniques of vibrato bar usage .   Despite the common misnomer tremolo arm , these devices can not produce tremolo in the normal sense of the word , but can produce vibrato ; while some electronic `` vibrato units '' used by electric guitarists generally produce a tremolo effect , rather than vibrato . See `` Vibrato or Tremolo '' .   Guitars equipped with any vibrato system can be harder to re-string , tune , and keep in tune than `` stop-tail '' ( fixed tailpiece ) guitars .

neg: The Untouchables (Los Angeles band) The Untouchables are a soul/mod revival band from the Silver Lake , Los Angeles , California area . Described by original lead singer Kevin Long as `` mods who played ska music , '' The Untouchables are credited with being America 's first ska band .   They formed in 1981 as part of the embryonic L.A. mod revival , after being inspired by the ska revival/punk rock band The Boxboys . Since some could n't play instruments , they either hastily learned , or became vocalists . The original lineup included : Kevin Long ( vocals ) , Chuck Askerneese ( vocals ) , Terry Ellsworth ( rhythm guitar ) , Clyde Grimes ( guitar ) , Rob Lampron ( drums ) , Herman Askerneese ( bass ) and Jerry Miller ( vocals , timbales ) .   After a shaky start playing at parties , the integrated septet were eventually booked at the O.N. Klub ( known as the On to regulars ) . The band had guaranteed the club that they would pack the venue , and they did not disappoint . In middle of that year , they released their first ( ska-styled ) 7 '' single , copies of which were snapped up by local mods . Late in 1982 , the band began a stint as the house band at the Roxy Theatre . Terry Ellsworth left the band in the summer of 1983 , at the height of the California mod revival . Josh Harris was added on keyboards , Timothy Moynahan on trombone and Will Donato ( who became a successful smooth jazz artist ) started on sax .   Their second single , `` The General , '' became a minor local hit , despite poor distribution . The band performed `` The General '' in the 1984 comedy The Party Animal , and they appeared as a scooter gang in the movie Repo Man . In early 1984 , they were signed to Stiff Records . Concerts with The B-52 's , Black Uhuru , Bow Wow Wow , Red Hot Chili Peppers , Fishbone , No Doubt and X all over California gave the group a disparate following of whites , blacks , mods , punks , surfers and rockabilly fans , with the local performances drawing up to 1,500 people . The band also appeared in the 1984 film Surf II , performing `` Dance Beat '' , and 1987 's No Man 's Land , performing `` What 's Gone Wrong '' .   Vocalist Kevin Long ( who had named the band ) left in 1984 . Guitarist Clyde Grimes took on more vocal leads , and in 1984 the band recorded `` Free Yourself '' , which became very popular , especially in the United Kingdom where it was a # 26 hit in April 1985 . The band has gone through many lineup changes since then , and as of 2006 , only vocalist Jerry Miller remains from the original lineup .

neg: Jetboy (band) Jetboy is an American San Francisco-based hard rock band founded in 1983 by guitarists Billy Rowe and Fernie Rod . Best described as a blend of edgy rock and roll with a traditional blues based influence . Jetboy got the attention of music fans and record executives alike in Hollywood during the mid 1980s . The band transplanted themselves to Los Angeles in 1986 after signing a deal with Elektra Records . Their musical influences ranged from punk rock to rock 'n' roll to blues . Their 1988 debut album Feel the Shake peaked at 135 on The Billboard 200 .   After parting ways with original bass player Todd Crew in mid-1987 , the band was joined by former Hanoi Rocks member Sami Yaffa . Yaffa , a member of one of the groups Jetboy had found most influential , was now a member of the band as their new bassist . In August 1987 Todd Crew died due to a drug overdose in the hotel room of Guns N ' Roses guitarist Slash . Jetboy continued on into the 1990s before disbanding in 1992 . However , over a decade later , Jetboy reconvened , toured and recorded a new EP , Off Your Rocker in 2010 . Having been absent from the studio for some 20 years , Jetboy recorded Off Your Rocker in a fully organic mode . The band played all in the same room together in a `` live-style '' format in an effort to duplicate the way the songs were written , all together , in a true 1970 's fashion where the band could feed off of one another 's energy .   Jetboy has continued to gain in popularity , and has continuously played to large crowds at festivals across the United States including Rocklahoma , The South Texas Rock Fest , Rock the Bayou & The M3 Festival two times .   On June 1 , 2012 Jetboy did a 25-year reunion for their debut album ` Feel The Shake ' at the Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood . The show was also a release party for the movie Rock Of Ages which featured a few images of Jetboy . The line-up for this show included all original members with a surprise appearance by their second bass player Sami Yaffa who is currently playing in the Michael Monroe Band . This was the first time they all shared the stage together in over 20 years . Jetboy plan to continue with the original line-up with Charles Norman on bass who replaced Yaffa for the Damnednation tour in 1989 .   January 25 , 2014 during NAMM weekend Jetboy supported Faster Pussycat at the Whisky A Go-Go to a sold out crowd to celebrate the club 's 50-year anniversary .   Jetboy geared up in late 2015 to bring their style of rock n roll to the stage again . The band performed at Riki Rachtman 's Cathouse Live on August 15 , 2015 at the Irvine Meadows Amphitheater in Irvine , California .   Three songs from Feel the Shake were featured in the 1989 movie The ` Burbs , starring Tom Hanks . They were `` Bloodstone '' , `` Locked in a Cage '' and `` Make Some Noise '' . Additionally , two songs from Feel the Shake , `` Feel the Shake '' and `` Make Some Noise '' were also featured in the 1989 movie She 's Out of Control .

neg: Revolver (The Haunted album) Revolver ( stylized as rEVOLVEr ) is the fourth studio album by The Haunted . It was released on 18 October 2004 .   After having been absent for the last two studio albums , Peter Dolving was once again back in the band and provided the vocals for rEVOLVEr . He would remain with the band until he left once again in 2012 .   As the album title attempts to make clear with its stylization ( i.e. with the word `` EVOLVE '' printed in upper case letters between the two r 's ) , the band made a conscious decision to slightly tweak ( or `` evolve '' ) its songwriting on this particular album . As a result , rEVOLVEr contains some elements that were hitherto absent on previous The Haunted albums . Although the album still contains examples of the band 's familiar thrash metal sound ( e.g. No Compromise , Sabotage , Sweet Relief ) , it features considerably more mid-paced riffing ( e.g. 99 , Burnt to a Shell , Fire Alive ) than in any of their previous albums . Two of the tracks even have ballad elements interspersed in them ( Abysmal and My Shadow ) .  Also notable is that rEVOLVEr has quite a few instances of clean singing in it , although the vast majority of the vocal tracking was still done in The Haunted 's traditional hardcore/metalcore style of screaming .   A limited edition digipak of this CD contained two bonus tracks , and different artwork .   A music video was made for `` No Compromise '' which featured Mark Greenway .

neg: Backbiter Backbiter is a protopunk band from Los Angeles , California that has received national recognition . They played their first show October 23 , 1991 , at the Shamrock Bar in Hollywood , CA on a bill with Dicktit , the Jack Brewer Band and The Drills ( whose organist , Jeff Muendel , later joined Backbiter for a few years and one album ) . Singer/guitarist Jonathan Hall had been playing in Texorcist ( the Los Angeles band with Linda `` Texacala '' Jones , formerly of Tex and the Horseheads , not the Texas band of the same name ) and the Angry Samoans with and bassist Heath Seifert . They jammed with drummer Bob Lee ( one of the Devo Bob drummers ) and the power trio came together , playing local clubs such as the notable post-punk hangout , Raji 's .   The band released their first CD , Get Together in 1994 . A second effort in 2001 , a split-CD with Swedish band Elope on Man 's Ruin Records ( MR-2015 ) featured Muendel on Hammond B3 organ . Hall does n't sing about warlocks and unicorns , nor does the group sludge it up in an overtly Black Sabbath fashion , but the association with Man 's Ruin has associated them with the Stoner rock movement . That release is arguably their heaviest .   The band released a third album in 2006 , once again as power trio sans the organ . The band continues to play live shows throughout California . They received LA Weeklys Heavy Metal Band of the Year award , which was presented to them by musician Ronnie James Dio .

neg: Gibson Grabber __ NOTOC __  The Gibson Grabber was a bass guitar introduced in 1973 along with the Gibson Ripper .   The Grabber featured a bolt-on 34 +1 / 2 in neck similar to Fender basses and shared a similar body shape with the Ripper . The Grabber also had a V-shaped headstock like the Gibson Flying V guitar . A distinctive feature of the Grabber was its adjustable pickup , which could be positioned by the player to simulate a neck or bridge pickup position , or in between , to provide further tonal variation . The pickup was brighter than the traditional Gibson style humbuckers . The Grabber had one volume and tone control each , and a removable bridge cover . The Grabber was originally built with a thin , maple body , but it was changed to alder in 1975 . 1975 was a peak year for Grabber sales , with 2,637 units sold , due largely to its high-profile use by Kiss bassist Gene Simmons . The Grabber was available in wine red , ebony , natural , walnut and white finishes . It was discontinued in 1982 .   Later , another model of the Grabber was produced , called the Gibson G3 . This bass had three stationary pickups mounted in the neck , bridge and middle positions . A three way switch was added to the control scheme so that the pickups could be activated as humbucking pairs ; neck & middle , bridge & middle , or all three in humbucking configuration for the so-called `` buck and a half '' . Although very similar , the Grabber and G3 have different and unique sounds which lead players to prefer one over the other .
