Herr Farner with a bunch of musical retirees, a Liverpool drummer, a Canadian rhythm guitarist who ain't seen nothing yet and a late bass player among them.
Noteworthy for three things:
- He still sings well.
- He still plays minor scales over major harmonies
- there goes that job with Lynyrd Skynyrd, they expect you to know the difference there!
- Compared to that awful mullet, his bare chest appearances were fashion nirvana.
Must be a Detroit thing, because generally US guitarists are more major-scale prone than their British counterparts. Playing minor over major, the Nuge would do it too (though less sorely standing out than Herr Farner). Just read an interview with Doug Aldrich, the current Whitesnake guitarist, about his early eighties audition with Kiss - Creatures of the Night era. All went well until Gene Simmons asked him: "Do you only play in minor?" And poor Doug had no idea what Gene was talking about.
