Paging Guitarists of ukrm

Going to http://www.londonguitarshow.co.uk/lgs2004.htmlo ?

Weekend 8-9 th May,

Spend loads a money on a new axe, amp, etc, see some free gigs
of brillliant players from Guitarist Techniques magazine, amongst others,
and then wish you hadn't (spent the money)

Ear plugs could be usefull :O)

 

Worth it for the Hamsters alone. Though seeing them an 10:30 am would
be weird.

 

Hm. I saw them and left half way through, board. Any band designed
just to show how good the guitarist is is missing the point, if you
ask me.

The support act was Dr Feelgood, who were fucking brilliant. No
histrionics, no showing off, just good, loud, straight down the wire
rock 'n fucking roll.

 

Well, each to their own.

Always excellent the 'Feelgood. I presume that they've split up, now.

 

Purists may feel that the death in 1994 of the only original member
who was still in the band robbed Dr Feelgood of some of its
authenticity.

Saw Wilko Johnson once: without doubt the most aggressive performer I
have ever seen. Like the bastard offspring of a cobra and King Kong.

 

When I saw them a couple of years ago, the drummer and bass player had
been in the band a *long* time (since the 70s, iirc). And, they
looked like Feelgood, they sounded like Feelgood, they felt like
Feelgood. Enough for me.

 

Champ says...

So you feel good about going to see them?

 

Is that the best you can do?

 

Insanely Sensible says...

Yes, I haven't a clue what Dr Feelgood sound like, and know nothing of
their history or discography. I also couldn't be arsed to google, I'm
not in the mood tonight.

 

Pub rock. Very very pub rock.

Essex boys, Canvey specifically. Or so I am told. Apparently I went to
school with one of them. They made that much impression on me that I
can't remember.

 

I know what you mean.

 

Klaatu says...

"The magazine for non-jewish and non-muslim men"

 

Ermm...

 

You have said this before, and I know what I understand now. When I saw them
for the first time I thought "wow" the third time was more like "Oh, god, not
again" They use nice and expensive pitbull amps, at huge volume.

Lee Brilleaux was "THE front man" I just read all about him in "uncut"

 

Speak for yourself!

 

Winces

 

Described as looking as if the bouncers had beaten up the band and
stolen their instruments. They sounded like it too: very, very hard
blokes. With guitars. A mate of mine saw the drummer beating people up
on his way to the bar and back (for four pints, all his own) during a
set.

 

Eh? I understand this literally, but what's it all about?

 

It's from a Nanni Morretti film, Caro Diario. He wanders into people's
houses (in real life) and when they ask what he's up to, he tells them
he's a film-maker (he is) and he's looking for locations. Then they
ask him what the film is about ...
