Actually the _Silver Wedding Anniversary_ *is* like their old stuff -
Ron Asheton marks the beginning of the "new" Destroy All Monsters.
It's just that most of the old stuff was very hard to come by, although
there is now a three CD set of it that is best avoided if you didn't like
_Silver Wedding Anniversary_.  You should also avoid the video tape if you
disliked _Silver Wedding Anniversary_.  To be honest, unless you have a
high tolerance for overly pretentious home movies you should avoid the
video tape. (-8
