Off Topic Saints Not606 Music Thread

He gets a namecheck in this one, they were always a bit more heavy than the average teeny Glam band and looked like a group of bricklayers dressed up!.
Some of their B sides and album tracks really rocked.
R.I.P. Steve..

 

Here's one from the last great decade of music the 90s...

 

Game On!

 

Just having read George Monbiot's article about a quite frankly terrifying possible future trade deal with the US that Chilcs posted on the Politics Thread here is another prediction that Matt Johnson may have got right in 1986...

 

Here you are lads. A very special treat. A stunningly beautiful woman with one hell of a voice to teach you the most important lesson about love.

Listen and look and then forget all about Kylie and Madonna, this woman is pure unadulterated powerful sex.

The most desirably shaggable woman in the world. Look at those shoulders, that neck, the long arms and the wonderful hands.

Her eyes and voice which bore right down into your very soul.

This lady is pure woman. The rest are just girls.

Just feel very sad that you will never ever shag a woman so beautiful.

 

Certainly appeared to have those old guys tossing off in the introduction

 

Prends garde à toi!

 

Have a good weekend all, stay safe and sane.

 

25 years ago today, we lost one of my heroes. A true guitar legend, humble man and am amazing live performer. Was lucky enough to chat to him once - always had time for his fans. Also was a huge influence on my music tastes .... miss you Rory!

 

Thanks for that Dave, just what I needed to kickstart my Sunday morning!

The summer of 1995 may have been good for some things but losing such seminal figures as Viv Stanshall, Rory Gallagher and Jerry Garcia within a few months of each other made it a very bad year for many of us.

 

Happy Sunday! This to cheer up a grey day.

 

Some more 'good ol boys'. Saw them at Knebworth '76 what a line up 10cc, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Todd Rundgren's Utopia, Hot Tuna and the Don Harrison Band. Oh and the Rolling Stones.

Why not?

 

If you have ever wondered how Status Quo music would sound opera style then this is for you.

 

Interesting interview with a bit of a hero of mine, Pee Wee Ellis. He actually taught my neighbour and fellow-band-member to play the sax, but he’s better-known as having been musical director for both James Brown and Van Morrison:

Great article. He comes over as a decent bloke who would be very interesting company. And he name checks one of my heroes, Sidney Bechet ..... can’t be bad
Thanks for posting, Chilco!

 

According to my neighbour he’s just a down to earth bloke who just happens to be a brilliant musician, and you would never guess at the exalted company he has worked with. I loved the line in the interview where he says that working with James Brown gave him the opportunity to earn enough money to afford to play jazz!

 

Here’s a tour of a very deserted Bristol with the gorgeous Millie Phipps, aka National Treasure:

 

0-3 that is all....

 

There's a good programme on iPlayer with some famous Stevie Wonder fans discussing his career and songs...

Here are three of my faves from his golden age trilogy of albums in the 70s that still resonate in these days of BLM...
