people were starting to pay attention to Turbonegro.January, Turbonegro continued spreading the deathpunk seeds on a tour with further 14 dates in Spain, Portugal, France, Germany and Denmark.In spring '97, Turbonegro had yet another line up change.Christer Engen, aka Chris Summers, from Big Bang took over on drums and they were ready to tour Europe again.Hank was wearing Alice Cooper like make up and lighting Roman candles in his ass (referred to as "assrockets"), they were just warming up to their final and greatest album Apocalypse Dudes.Now it was time to take the new and improved Turbonegro back across the Atlantic with the 'Summer of Head' US tour.They were more warmly received this time around but still played only a few shows that were plagued with problems.The album was released in March '98 by Boomba Records.Jello Biafra was quoted as saying, "the new Turbonegro record is possibly the most important European record ever."Turbonegro supported the album playing 24 sold out shows throughout Europe, by fall returning for yet another 16 European dates on the 'Darkness Forever' tour.The tour would be their last and ultimately the end of Turbonegro.Tom "Turbonegro broke up in the waiting room of a psychiatric emergency ward in Milan, Italy."Hank's mental indisposition became a real problem thus the remainder of the tour was cancelled.On the threshold of what was by many expected to be a major breakthrough for the band, Turbonegro withdrew from the music business and appeared unlikely to ever return.Another issue was that the band was stuck in an oppressive record deal with Boomba.The arrangement saw very little money directed to the band and cancelling the tour with Nashville Pussy after only half the dates only added to the financial problems.Their appreciation among contemporary artists from diverse musical genres as rock, pop, punk and even black metal is displayed on Alpha Motherfuckers, a tribute album to Turbonegro that was compiled and in the works over a span of two years and until released by Bitzcore in May 2001.Unbeknownst to the band, Turbonegro was becoming a cult phenomenon.Fan clubs were established all over the world (see Turbojugend).The immense following and the tribute album revealed a huge interest that, by audience numbers, was never received back in the day when they had quit.When Turbonegro were approached by the organizers of the Norwegian Quart Festival about a possible participation in 2002, Turbonegro agreed.Turbonegro performance, finally resulted in the band's reunion.Apart from the tremendous response at the festival shows Turbonegro had also realized that they were in better shape and much more determined than ever before.Turbonegro appeared in an episode of Viva La Bam during Season 1.US tour with Queens Of The Stone Age proved that the American Turbojugend contingent had grown completely out of control, and almost 150 shows later, Turbonegro finished the Scandinavian Leather campaign by selling out the House of Blues in Los Angeles two days in a row in December 2004.McDonald played bass and sang in Hawthorne, California band Redd Kross from the age of 11, and "Standing in front of Poseur" from the bands 1979 debut EP is still a punk rock classic.Turbonegro has done through their career.In recent years McDonald has worked with artists such as Beck and The White Stripes.On Party Animals, he's done his best to keep the bubblegum intact in the stadium rock and the sharp edged punk rock.Scandinavian Leather and the last offering in the Apocalypse trilogy was released throughout Europe on the 9th of May (Norway 2nd of May).October they visited the US.Turbonegro are on tour again in 2006 with mostly European locations.We started up as a parody but ended up as a revolution."On March 8, 2007 the new single "Do You Do You Dig Destruction" was released in Norway.The Turbonegro official site was completely redesigned for the new album release, the new site debuted on June 11, 2007.October 25, 2007: Rhythm Guitarist Rune Rebellion states that his last live show with Turbonegro will be October 27, 2007 in Stavanger.He will though continue to work with the management and the Scandinavian Leather Label.This article needs additional citations for verification.Please help improve this article by adding reliable references.Turbonegro place homages to their favorite bands in their music.Examples sorted by albums:
Ass Cobra
"The Midnight NAMBLA" title is a parody of the Rolling Stones' "Midnight Rambler".The bridge breakdown in "The Age Of Pamparius" is a direct, yet ingeniously changed nod to Cheap Trick's "Clock Strikes Ten", with singer Hank Von Helvete yelling out "clock strikes twelve" while Euroboy plays the harmonic clock riff.Additionally, the scaling octaves used before the break are most likely inspired by "Next Big Thing."The song title is a play on Alice Cooper's "Billion Dollar Babies"."Drenched In Blood" steals the chorus from The Wildhearts' song "Just in Lust"."City Of Satan" uses a line from Bruce Springsteen's song "Atlantic City"."High On The Crime" uses lines from Iggy Pop's "Rich Bitch" and The Clash's "Somebody Got Murdered".Hot Shit" uses a riff from Iggy Pop's "New Values".It also contains lyrical elements of "You Could Be Mine" by Guns N' Roses, and the chorus is strikingly similar to "We're going down the pub" by Sham 69
"Do You Do You Dig Destruction" borrows the intro from The Stooges' "Search and Destroy".Wanna Come" is based on The Stooges "Penetration" and borrows the riff of Ramones' "Danny Says" and "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" by Tiny Tim.It is a paraphrase of Jim Morrison's "I'm the Lizard King, I can do anything!".The Movie DVD extras, Happy Tom utters that early on, festival goers expected TRBNGR to be gothic metal or black metal in the vein of other Norwegian bands.Turbonegro experience as the music.Levis jeans endorsements soon followed from the stage antics, and the trucker cut jacket soon became standard fare amongst fans.Widely acclaimed as the band's first break out album Ass Cobra (1996) had an album cover that was a direct parody of The Beach Boys Pet Sounds album cover.Following Ass Cobra was Turbonegro's most critically acclaimed release Apocalypse Dudes (1998).Apocalypse Dudes' introduced a combination of '70s arena rock, irreverent lyrics, and punk stylings which brought the band a level of notoriety that they had not achieved at any other point in their history.Turbonegro playing at the Southside Festival in 2005.Initially the band had two running ideas for band names; Nazipenis and Turbonegro.Turbonegro's fan base is the Turbojugend (Turbo Youth), the band's fan club.Euroboy explains the Turbojugend's beginnings: "We though about how Kiss had the Kiss Army so we thought that Turbonegro should have our own Navy.Tage
