"One concept was there was this guy going around, Sammy Hagar, very talented man, he was the red rocker and he had this song said he couldn't drive 55. And all this kinda thing - see, we were so enamored, again, with the punk scene, and what we thought was true - self - realization or whatever - that all these other things were just shills to sell pablum. So to wear red leather and say that you can't drive 55 like that's the big rebellion thing - to us, the big rebellion thing was writing your own fuckin' songs and trying to come up with your own story, your own picture, your own book, whatever. So he can't drive 55, because that was the national speed limit? Okay, we'll drive 55, but we'll make crazy music. Not to put him down - I saw Montrose, I never saw Van Halen but I saw Montrose, talented man. He was kind of a target for us. No one got it!" - Mike Watt on the making of "Double Nickels On The Dime", January 2006.
"One of the very best American rock albums of the 1980s." - Mark Deming for allmusic.com Back to home - Jeremy Roberts for Poi
