Welsh rockers Man. Their bassist is playing what looks a lot like a Pelham NR T-bird IV in this video.

I didn't know Zack Wilde was Welsh (and started out on Teles)

Zack Anderson of the Blues Pills with his non-reverse IV:

And that, in Man, is Terry Williams on drums. Later in Rockpile.

[Highlander]

I remember that pile of Rocks...

He did the same thing to an SG!



I think Man are truly an underrated band. It seems they are still on the go, but even in the '90s and '00s they were barely playing beyond bar and social club venues. A shame really, as they seem to have had a fairly unique sound.

I like Man, but underrated? Seems like their following rates them pretty high up there, and I doubt if they ever aimed for commercial success.

They had a good sound, with Micky on the SG and Deke on the tele. I'm not sure if Id' rush to see them play though, Micky passed away years ago and Deke has been out of the band for the last 15 years or so. Although they are still playing as Man, it would be like seeing AC/DC without Malcolm, Brian and Angus...

I like Man too, but they were perhaps too smooth for UK rock and too gritty for American Westcoast tastes, so - in the absence of catchy single hits - they fell through all the cracks. But they are not underrated in a sense that they have a cult following among people who actually know the band.

I like Man. I  heard their 2nd album  2 Ozs of Plastic With A Hole In The Middle in 1980 and have enjoyed them ever since . I remember liking Maximum Darkness with John Cippolina.

I like Man, but underrated? Seems like their following rates them pretty high up there, and I doubt if they ever aimed for commercial success.

Maybe underrated as musicians? Just the intro to 'Many are Called But Few Get Up' is brilliant stuff alone, with Micky Jones playing those odd, angular harmonies and things. Both Micky and Deke were good guitarists. I suppose the issue is as Uwe says, they weren't really a hard rock band, a prog rock band, they weren't aggressive enough to be a pub rock band in the Doctor Feelgood pattern, they certainly weren't a West Coast hippie band and by the time they got John Cipollina in that psychedelic sound must have seemed pretty antiquated.

Patti's derelict yet vulnerable beauty, voice and lyrics had something. Her band, however, didn't exactly qualifiy for A grades in tightness class. Whenever you see a clip of them it sounds like they are doing the songs for the first time. Toto they were not.
