pantherairsoft Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 1st year in ages that I didn't watch. I only found out this year that it's not live and it ruined it all for me! I know it's common knowledge after everyone I've discussed that fact with over the last few weeks has had the same response - "How didn't you know it wasn't live!?" I really didn't know. I hate the fact they all celebrate and countdown to New Year falsely... And it's filmed mid November! It shouldn't bother me... But it has so much I doubt I'll watch I again! Quote
yorks5stringer Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 Is it just me who feels JH does too much "Boogie Woogie"? I watched until 12.15 and then went to bed: there was nothing that made me go "WOW" although enjoyed Rumer and Simple Sisters the most. Kylie sounded weird, like she had lost her voice and replaced it with a squeek...or is that her live voice? Quote
Musky Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 Was I the only one who thought the house bass player with the Dingwall was Crez5150? Quote

bluesman Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 no mention of ruby turner.....thought she was awsome as usuall.....and thought alyson moyet did a good version of boom boom boom....enjoyed most of the show personally. Quote
wombatboter Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 Wasn't thrilled by the line-up... except for Rumer which I could listen to for hours. I'm no fan of the drummer of the Jools Holland band, I think he's the weakest link in the band. The bass-player holds it together for me. Interesting to see how an "easy" song like the one by Rumer can be so tough to lay down.. I see bass-virtuoso's every day on youtube but the real challenge is to play something really tight and smooth when it's slow and every note counts..

dlloyd Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 Bellowhead, Toots and Rico Rodriguez were all fantastic. Quite liked the Secret Sisters. Quote

I feel robbed I caught just a few moments between getting back from the pub and falling asleep on the sofa. Very unimpressed. Roger Daltrey made me cringe, Alison Moyet sounded odd and I can't remember the rest. Quote
Hobbayne Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 I was gigging last night and recorded it on the Sky plus, don,t think I,ll bother now! Quote
nick Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 (edited) WTF was Wanda Jackson on?! Edited January 1, 2011 by nick Quote
nottswarwick Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 Lol watching it on repeat now. Got to say there is a lot of picky criticism in this thread. I know it's down to personal taste but surely we can all enjoy and learn something from live performances (yes I know it is pre recorded but you know what I mean) like this. I've enjoyed most of it. And as for Gilson, IMHO he is one of the finest. Taste, versatility and technique. To say he's a weak link is so wrong, sorry whoever said that but come on, that is so wrong. Quote

Saying that, I did notice a slightly iffy edit during one of the interviews which seemed to give the game away a bit. Musically, a bit too much emphasis on boogie woogie and laid back croonage. Really liking Rumer's stuff, which for me, is worrying. Secret Sisters impressive too, if a bit 'Shining'. Rog good enough. The highlight for me was when the robot suddenly sprung into life, making Jools visibly sh*t himself. Quote
waynepunkdude Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 I usually enjoy it but thought it was awful this year. Quote
steve-soar Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 What was the robot about? About 7 feet tall. Da dum tish. Coat and taxi. Quote

No balls,technique or swing. I regularly play with drummers who blow him in every single way. Quote
nottswarwick Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 sh*te? Nope. Personal taste I guess. I think it's the variety that alot would struggle to pull off. He's ideal for that seat I reckon. But what do I know. Quote

In fact I still think of you as a drummer rather than a bassist that's how we met a mere 11 years ago. Guess bassists that don't play drums look for something slighty different. Unfortunately my opinion is with the masses here Quote
