Aber's Music Thread x3

Seems a talented bloke. Do you think he'll make a good career out of it?
Hope all is well in Aberland

 

Never heard this Van track before I heard it in the opening to Belfast

 

Nice tune but the film wasn’t the best.

 

He did ok i guess, what a fine wine Tom Jones is

Aberland is cool im just enjoying watching the country go down the pan as anticipated

 

Bon Scott
Brian Johnson

Take your pick

Don’t think there’s any debate here

‘Highway to Hell’ Go Bon. RIP

 

Woke up this morning rolled a spliff and chucked on a the radio and a top tune came on which I hadn't heard for a while now...........got me all up and at em....so rolled few more spliffs and headed up the mountain with me dogs....weirdly even wild rain and winds when stoned is enjoyable kinda like a connection with nature.....by the way I didn't hug a tree but I did piss at the base of one lol

 

This isnt me up the mountain though lol

Sad news

 

Sad news indeed......all I'm fking hearing is people dying.....wtf

 

I hear you Aber. It's been happening to me for over ten years now. The price of getting old eh!

 

Although he wasn’t there then I can still feel the manic electric frantic energy of the Clash in the Union in 78. The venue was literally bouncing and swaying. Amazing night

 

I'm talking about younger people rather than the older generation dude

 

More misery I'm afraid.
I've only just read that Wilko Johnson has died.
I had the pleasure of meeting him and talking to him on half a dozen or more occasions when he was with the Feelgoods (Dr Feelgood to the uninitiated).
A real character that wasn't necessarily on the same planet as the rest of us all of the time
His guitar style described him perfectly.
RIP mate.

 

He’d been living on seriously borrowed time for ages hadn’t he? How did you get to talk to him?
When I saw the Feelgoods in the Rank late 70’s, he had left to become a Solid Sender by then.
The Dr Feelgood Malpractice album was just stupendous. His stage shuffling was legendary. Lee Brilleaux was such quality but died quite young.
One of my favourite tunes of the mid 70’s pasted here

 

You're right that he was diagnosed with what looked like terminal cancer previously. However, they eventually found that it was a slow spreading type and they were able to surgically remove it. At that point he was cancer free.
I met him through my various musical escapades. The first time was in The Palace Bar in Southend where a desperate R&R outfit from Penarth asked me to sit in for their indisposed drummist. I had to have a haircut and have it styled with a quiff otherwise I might not come back. When I got there I realised why as it was full of ageing Teddy boys. Anyway Wilko was in the audience with The Big Figure and he had a chat with us. About three months later I was with a band that supported the Feelgoods at Worcester Teachers Training College. Fair play to him because when he saw me he said "last time I saw you, you were a Ted". Thereafter our paths crossed as our respective bands were doing the same circuit albeit they as headliners and us as support.
Loved watching them. Tight as a ducks arse despite Lee sometimes trying to sing into his cigarette, smoke is pint and drink his microphone. Never saw anyone drink like him.

 

Saw Wilko with Dr Feelgood back in the day. Loved his guitar playing and he could bust a few moves as well.,

 

Another one gone but will live forever

Glad you remembered her with a Chicken Shack song which was how most would have heard of her originally. Of course she was Christine Perfect in those days.
Sad loss
