There are some good songs on the album but the drum sound was terrible. Also agree about the guitar player.

Hello,

Gary Myrick was pretty good. I always liked this track:

Completely right. Drums on their record is a mess and many songs are a little bit too radio friendly.

Perhaps we should commission a Mohawk Revenge-style redo?

Yeah the drums really ruin what could have been a great LP, I always assumed they were programed by bernies drum machine to be honest....

I might be a lazy fucker but are there any good (ideally SB) boots of H3AM?

Not a lot out there, though I seem to remember one posted on Wolfgang's Vault, of all places:
https://www.wolfgangs.com/music/havana- ... id=4870062

I taped them myself on four occasions -- the best of these is from a two-night showcase that they did at the Borderline (1/22-23/90), when they were trying to get signed. I can do a transfer of it, if you're interested.

There are some good songs on the album but the drum sound was terrible. Also agree about the guitar player.

Gary Myrick had a deft touch, no doubt about it. The album is good, but doesn't quite capture what I remember seeing live, which is where they flourished.

There were two different drummers (three, if you count the latter-day lineup with Gary Myrick only, if you wanna be technical). Travis Williams is the guy that's on the album, and I remember seeing live, but was only considered a fill-in drummer -- Stephen Klong was the guy they originally recruited, but couldn't fully commit, at the time.

The way I remember the difference is that Klong actually did the US tour in early '91, and was playing a conventional kit, whereas his predecessor used the electric one -- I'm assuming it was their way of trying to be cool and current, though I don't remember seeing any other band of that stripe using the setup that he had.

Great Song, I first heard it in the Valley Girl soundtrack
