This could take all night....
I was expecting Sharrock as well, given he's a HFB, but all the reports say Starkey as "the best live Oasis drummer" and no chance of Alan White.
All three of Bonehead/Gem/Bell is a bit odd, given Gem was Bonehead's direct replacement on rhythm guitar (and shared lead guitar duties with Noel). I thought one of those two would have picked up bass, rather than having Andy Bell on stage as well.Bonehead's presumably there because he's the third member that the casual fan would name. They don't actually want/need him to play.
He's also part of Liam Gallagher's touring band and has been for some time.
You could probably split a show between 90s mk1 (ish) and 00s mk 2 (ish) set and wheel out the Arthur's or Archer accordingly. Or just have both. For the lolz
Shed Seven did that to a certain degree for a time when the former original, original lead guitarist sort of replaced the better known lead guitarist when he left in 2001(there was another additional one the 2001 album as well, confusingly), but when they reformed after splitting, the other better known lead guitarist returned but the replacement stayed and switched to the (previously non existant on a permanent basis) rhythm guitar and keys role.
And Shed Seven are a fuck load better than Oasis anyway. Obviously.
A discussion this morning about whether bucket hats are cool or not led to a discussion of the Stone Roses (I posited that bucket hats and always will be cool because Reni), which in turn led to the shocking revelation that one of our group, a 47 year old man (admittedly Canadian) had never heard of The Stone Roses, much less listened to them.
Currently listening to Welcome To The Beautiful South. I had forgotten how beautiful this album is.
The new album from The Meffs. Produced and mixed by Frank Turner on Fat Mike's label (Fat Wreck Chords). Punktastic.
Went to see Monster Magnet last night. Huge riff type stuff. Sadly I can't see then touring again. Dave Wyndorf looks like he's been on the pies and pints rather than the marching powder. Looked sadly fucked and couldn't keep standing through the set. They were scheduled for a 3 song encore and could only manage one. Nevertheless, they were still great to see. Lots of head nodding stuff. Chap stood near seemed like the edibles were kicking in hard. The right choice of band for that nonsense.
Early morning contender for making me think too much about a thing.
I used to love Monster Magnet. Hope they are okay. Although none of us are because we are all decrepit. Riot Fest was this weekend. I was too tired to go because of the amount of work i seem to be knee deep in. Getting old and working more than I ever have is starting to take it's toll. Thank God I have headphones ar work to keep me sane. It's amazing how anti-social I am getting.
Chicago: Former mosher.
Speak for yourself. Some of us are in the best shape of our lives, eh, Mus?
I’m in good shape and healthy. I am just fucking overworked and knackered. How about that?
Chicago: listening to the Kerrang! Chart.
Enjoying the Sprints this morning
youtube.com/playlist?list=RDEM2V1AReAp6jDJtoLj1_8sOQ&playnext=1&si=nlZEmivuADFuQoFH
Playing in Boston Weds evening, I would go and certainly in peak physical condition to do so .. alas Senora Mus is having minor surgery on Weds so unfortunately I’m not.
The Ice-T Bodycount version of Comfortably numb is surprisingly interesting. I like it.
Chicago: Too lazy to post a link.
Sprints are jumping up venues quickly.
Saw them first at the Castle Hotel mid lockdown in a crammed COVID inducing 70 capacity venue.
Then at Yes Basement. One of my Favourite Venues. 110 capacity?
They are now playing New Century hall which has a listed capacity of 1300. Perhaps a bit of a reach?The Chats are Ingos band of the week.
