Meat Puppets - Rock and Roll (Unreleased Outtake From Forbidden Places - Flexi Disc - Review)

This is my first ever post on Steemit, I've been trying to find an alternative to YouTube for the longest time, so I'm gonna try this. My name is Anarka Akaza and I review records on YouTube and Facebook. I listen to really anything I come across, I'll review anything that I come across. I grew up on Punk Rock music, but these days I'm jamming out to whatever!

The record I present today is promotional copy Flexi Disc given away with issue #42 of The Bob Magazine. However, I'm not reviewing all 3 tracks, only the Meat Puppets. Why? Because I only bought this at Love Garden Sounds in Lawrence, Kansas purely for the Meat Puppets track. I could care less about the other 2 tracks, however they are decent.

If you're in the mood for some noisy punk rock, rock n roll then this what you need to be jamming out to! It's 4 minutes and 39 seconds of pure chaos with some beautiful melodies tied in! This particular song's name is 'Rock and Roll' and that's really all it is! It's an unreleased outtake from the Meat Puppet's 7th album 'Forbidden Places' released in 1991, which upon listening to this song.. It'll instantly take you back to their first couple of records. I can understand why they left it off of 'Forbidden Places' because although the record gets noisy and outta control at times, this song really doesn't fit it too much with the main flow of the album.

However, with all that being said, 'Rock and Roll' is a nice break from the norm that the Meat Puppets stuck with after the first two records. It's nice to fuck around and just go all out at times! I wish they'd make more music like this. I found this flexi-disc at Love Garden Sounds in March of 2018 while they were having a 45RPM $1 Clearance Clear-out sale where you could buy 100 $1 45RPM records for $10. I splurged and I bought a couple hundred of them. I'd have bought more but i'm soon to move overseas and space is something that I don't have a lot of right now. I would have purchased over 1000 records, but that'd be hard to deal with.

I'm just happy I found this rare Meat Puppets outtake! Definitely gonna be blasting this shit!
