Mudbucker article (fiendishly derailed by Uwe into unmotivated The Who attack!)

As a Tommy Bolin acolyte I prefer Bang and Miami!

Tommy Bolin replaced Ritchie Blackmore too, you know.

Thanks. Normally, I'm pretty good at detecting languages. But I can't ever remember hearing Finnish spoken. It sounds nothing like I was expecting.

No prob! I wouldn't recognize Finnish if it bit me in the a$$

I had looked him up - Anssi Kela. Pretty talented and accomplished fellow, from the look of it.

As for James Gang, I always liked this amped-up version of Walk Away. Bass sounds fine by me!

Bolin in Purple...? I knew that one, Uwe... did you see the tour...?

That other guitarist with that other band did reasonably well for himself...

Why must you always rub your superior classic rock acts live experience in with me!!!! $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$

I would have given my left nut to see Bolin with Le Purps!!! That line up imploded before they could tour Germany.

There's bugger all else I've got over you... (I really should dig those dodgy pics of the Wembly show out

)

An advantage purely of geographical location and being slightly older than you - the guy I bought my Hiwatt and SG from had just seen #3 at the Hammersmith Odeon... I had to wait until the reunion to see #2 in Paris (Mountain supporting, -Felix)...

I'm almost tempted to buy a ticket for Quo to bump into you ...

Incoming! I put a 13 minute version of "Sunshine of Your Love" in the Outpost dropbox.

Dave, does the band "Black Dub" above have any commercial recordings?

Just one from a couple of years ago, AFAIK. It's one of Daniel Lanois' projects.

My curiosity often gets the best of me if I hear a language I can't identify. I've even gone up to people at airports and asked them what language they're speaking. I also like that version of Walk Away very much.

I've heard Finnish influences sound. Or not, I can't quite remember.

Highlander · February 09, 2013, 04:04:15 PM

It's the memory that goes first... I can't remember who's quote that is though...

uwe · February 11, 2013, 11:37:49 AM

Memory only come fourth ...

"The great featherweight Willie Peps once said, talkin' of fighters' lifetimes, the first thing to go is your legs, then it's your reflexes, and then it's your friends."

Highlander · February 11, 2013, 04:36:33 PM

That is a truly classic quote...

I just read the thing. Wot a douchbag.

As far as Gibson bass tone, I have very little time for this Free/Cream/Deep Purple- hippie sludge rock. I think of a Gibson bass, I think of The Zombies, the Animals, or Sounds Incorporated. Even parts of Are You Experienced.
And this:

Rock and Roll!

But that's a mud single coil, not a mudbucker. That would be too much for the author's poor brain to process.

We must have both!
