I'm waiting for the BC Rich one...

"Charlie's good tonight, ain't he?"

Dr Feelgood - Stupidity Stones - Get Yer Ya-Yas Out Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense Mott the Hoople - Mott Live Neil Young - lots (even the barely 'live' overdubbed ones) Alex Harvey - British Tour 1976 Alex Harvey - US tour 1974 I realise I've clearly identified my age (to within a few years) with that lot...

Yeah, but mine cut to the essence, with no unnecessary fripperies. 😁

A cover? Well, there's always this one... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjkzbCkZEuQ

...and/or a Pa

Dreams, Fleetwood Mac. It sits on two chords for ever, then when it gets to the lovely little bass breakdown I've switched off and I miss it. Every time...

Are they any good for metal?

A couple of AC30s. Well, if it was good enough for the Beatles... 😁

Well, I'm no good... but I'm here

But which one is best for metal?

We've had Russian singers, so what about Leonid Kharitonov? (Sorry about the sound quality.) And there's this impromptu performance of "Katyusha" on an airliner. These harmonies make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up - surely these women must be a singing ensemble? PS "Katyusha" is an important song for Russians, one that has become associated with their 41-45 war. A bit like the British and "White Cliffs of Dover". Except it's a much better song...

And taking another slant on vocals is this guy...

Well I see LSD has been done so I won't add to that. But what about Cat Power? Yes she can be flakey, but when she is on....

Yes. And proud of it!

Climax Blues Band - neither climatic nor bluesy

By 'eck Sticky, you've got weird fingers...

Already been mentioned, but FWIW: Stupidity - Dr Feelgood Get Yer Ya-Yas Out - the Stones Stop Making Sense - Talking Heads Well that lot kinda fixes me in time...

Only two that I can recall: Uriah Heep, Edinburgh, mid 70s. They were head-splittingly loud.. and, err... that's it. Robert Cray in the 90s. Boring low-key mid-paced endless noodling, all at the same level and energy. He made the mistake of having an interval...

A quirky version of a swing classic, New York by Cat Power: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcybnuVH9kM And I don't know if this is any better than the original, but Alex and the boys certainly put their own stamp on Jumping Jack Flash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQnkhHdXYoQ

Can he play any Spinal Tap on it?

Charlie Watts

Does he get ribbed by the rest of the band?

Are you listening through headphones? I practice using headphones and they pick up everything. All the little finger hits etc. But when I play live (remember that?) none of this comes through, especially against the sound of the band and the drunks in the audience. I don't record, so there maybe more of it coming through then. But I do find the headphones useful, in that they force me to improve on these details of my technique. Especially as I'm playing roundwounds after about ten years of flats. You get away with LOTS with flatwounds... Cheers Graham

OK, I give in. What does NWOBHM stand for? North West Old Blokes Happy Memories?
