(1) - The Spectres take rock & roll and strip away all the extraneous junk: no choirs, no orchestras, no extended dance remixes. They boil down raw rockabilly, fuzz-bomb garage punk, and speed-addled surf n' drag into a butt-kickin' elixir of prime-evil, gutbucket rock & roll.

The Spectres started annoying neighbors with their unholy racket in early '97, and shortly after started making a name for themselves in any old dive that would have them. They've since managed to play countless shows all over the country with such like-minded bands as Demented Are Go, Hayride To Hell, Godless Wicked Creeps, Deadbolt, Twistin' Tarantulas, and Barnyard Ballers.

(2) - The Spectres were a groovy female-fronted band from the Wirral.

(3) - The Spectres (previously The Scorpions) were an early incarnation of what would later become Status Quo, rendered immortal with their psychedelic hit "Pictures of Matchstick Men." They began writing their own material, and later that year met Rick Parfitt who was playing with a cabaret band called The Highlights. By the end of 1965, Rossi and Parfitt made a commitment to continue working together. On 18 July 1966, the Spectres signed a five-year deal with Piccadilly Records, releasing two singles that year, "Hurdy Gurdy Man" (written by Alan Lancaster) and "I (Who Have Nothing)", and one the next year called "(We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet" (a song originally recorded by New York psychedelic band the Blues Magoos). By 1967, the group had discovered psychedelia and named themselves Traffic, but were soon forced to change it to Traffic Jam to avoid confusion with Steve Winwood's Traffic, following an argument over who had registered the name first. Shortly after Parfitt's recruitment, in August 1967, the band officially became The Status Quo.

(4) - The Spectres was a band formed by Brett Michaels (ex-Laser) and Rikki Rockett in 1979. This band became Paris in 1980 and eventually Poison in 1983.

Walking With My Angel
The Spectres Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ain't no guy in town
Who would ever try to put me down
When I'm walkin' walkin' with my angel
'Cause every guy I see
Is a-wishin' that-a he were me
When I'm walkin' walkin' with my angel
When we're strollin' hand in hand
I'm as happy as can be

She's the prettiest girl in town
And everyone can see she belongs to me
Well I feel so proud
It's as good as walkin' on a cloud
When I'm walkin' walkin' with my angel
When we're strollin' hand in hand
I'm as happy as can be
'Cause she's the prettiest girl in town
And everyone can see she belongs to me
Well I feel so proud
It's as good as walkin' on a cloud
When I'm walkin' walkin' with my angel

When I'm walkin' walkin' with my angel
Yeah, when I'm walkin' walkin' with my angel
