I was thinking along the lines of endless feedback-drenched guitar jams and a cultish fanbase feeding off bootlegs and live recordings being a sort of marriage of the two. They're definitely more Velvet than Dead, but think there are elements of both.

I'd write JACKS into the equation, Miztutani definitely modelled his hair on the lead singer ( guy on the left: Keiji Haino and Miztutani both copied the hairstyle, it is plain to see )
Mitzutani and Haino HATED each other, a rivalry worthy of a novel
meanwhile I have been quietly collecting recordings of the JACKS live and they are definitely a precursor to LRD and FUSHITSUSHA and AMT
oops: derailed thread into something interesting

Haino thought his fringe was pretty cool but Mitzutani disagreed

now is a good as time as any to relate the boring story about how I picked up copy of the Rallizes book this week
UPS mailed me telling me they were going to deliver at an inconvenient time, so I chose to redirect to the nearest "pick up" point
so on my lunch break I head off to the 'little shop" on a former 'frontline" ( you can't see the barber shop in this pic, because I couldn't get Google maps to include the shutters to the left, but it was the stash house for 'stone" due to a process of "Yardies" aggressively bullying the proprietor until he agreed to their terms and conditions )
I enter and gospel music is playing and I ask about my parcel and the lovely lady at the counter, I'm not saying she is slow, took twenty minutes to examine 2 amazon parcels that did not have my name on and saying 'there are no parcel" before realising there was another one with BORDER FORCE - BORDER FORCE all taped around it AND then she didn't know what to do so she made a phone call to another member of staff who talked her through pressing buttons on the cash register
anyway, an hour later I walked out the door with
a coffee table book full of out of focus photos and rallizes lyrics in 3 languages ( and a 20 minute never before released tune, etc )
