Fozza

An old band mate used to have a Strat that had been mouse masticated. He got it cheap from a bloke who had stored it in his loft for years. Roland and chums had been nibbling away at it so a chunk of the lower cutaway was missing.

Yes. Because I say so! 😉 If it's a note rather than a chord you're looking for you could say "Wild Thing" by The Troggs.

A Hard Day's Night is an obvious one.

Strange seeing Rod Hull without Emu.

Leaving aside the problem guitarist, it sounds like you wanted different things from the band so it was never really going to work out. You want to be out there gigging as much as possible while they're happy to meet up and muck about for a bit. Never the twain and all that. Best of luck finding a new project.

"What kind of fool am I?"

I love the judge's description of Morrissey in the trial - "devious, truculent and unreliable where his own interests were at stake". Morrissey wrote a bitchy song called "Sorrow Will Come in the End" about the whole affair. It's excruciating. Legalized theft Leaves me bereft I get it straight in the neck (Somehow expecting no less) A court of justice With no use for truth Lawyer...liar Lawyer...liar You pleaded and squealed And you think you've won But sorrow will come To you in the end And as sure as my words are pure I praise the day that brings you pain Q.C.'s obsessed with sleaze Frantic for fame They're all on the game They just use a different name You lied And you were believed By a J.P. senile and vile You pleaded and squealed And you think you've won But sorrow will come To you in the end And as sure as my words are pure I praise the day that brings you pain So don't close your eyes Don't close your eyes A man who slits throats Has time on his hands And I'm gonna get you So don't close your eyes Don't ever close your eyes You think you've won Oh no

His signature model (which I really like) has been mentioned but I've always liked the look of Jack Casady's Guild. All those knobs!

Jah Wobble's Ovation Magnum.

Here's Hugh being typically charming to the audience at Guildford University. He starts with "Have you all got yer Crackerjack pencils? Stick 'em up yer derrières, then!" After playing Hanging Around, he finishes with "Guildford University never respresented Guildford. We hate playing to elitist audiences, so fukk off!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-_vHvYWDLA

There's also Rotten's famous "Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?" at the Winterland show.

It's brilliant, that. You can also hear Rob Gretton panicking too - "'Ook-eh, 'Ook-eh! Wass goin' on?"

Bloody hell! I managed about 16 seconds of that.
