The Ventures version of Wipeout was the first version I heard as a kid. My dad had a tape. It's still my favorite version.

I have been waiting for the day this greatest video becomes colored. Thank you very much.

no one is talking about that bassist shredding that bass

[autumn_my_life]

This video pretty much sums up why Mel Taylor is an absolute icon as a drummer. One of my many inspirations.

Amazing what can be accomplished on a small 5 piece drum kit!!!!
Bonzo Bonham, Bill Ward, Mitch Mitchell, Charlie Watts, Ringo Starr, even Keith Moon, to name a few, absolutely beat the hell out of their kits!!!
In the beginning.

Bob, is smashing that bass.Way ahead of his time...

[kirklunderman]

I've always listened to the Surfaris' version, but the Ventures blows them away!

[elsiegamao]

Am amazingly intense and vigorous drumming...I love it !!

[captainu.s.a.]

When the Ventures make a version of a song it is much more superior to any other band. Nokie was a awesome guitarist.He was the best lead guitarist in the area were the ventures came from.They asked Nokie to join.Nokie had a little problem he go play lead for Buck Owens or he could be the bass player for the Ventures no one thought he would go with Ventures.Great choice Nokie.All of the Ventures are superior muscians. .Thank you to every member of the Ventures old & new whom kept the ROCK N ROLL train moving on down the tracks.Love you all .Yes.& the four drummers.Great Drummers.Awsome drummers.Thank you...
