is this rock-'n-roll?

According to Pieter Kloos (who is currently touring in Norway with Motorpsycho) Spider James does not know how to rock. Pieter is a rock fanatic and he has recorded more than half a dozen Spider James songs. He knows what he's talking about and, yes, he is right. We don't use guitars in a rock-'n-roll manner. Not often anyway. No riffs, thank God. No boring solo's. We do have our moments of fuzz box glory though. Last Saturday Ted and JL did a guitar battle New York style, while Rob and me provided a 'Suzie Q'-like groove. Psychedelic, arty stuff (we are talking Spider James here) that could make a real fine piece of music.
