Low Red Moon
ギター弾いてる時だけは、なんか無敵になった気分でさ！！
Observations about those who no longer have to suffer the stings and arrows of this mortal coil.
Wilko Johnson has died.
He only really did one thing. But he did it really well.
How to play the Wilko way…
Wilko Johnson was a precursor of punk. His guitar playing was angry and angular, but his presence – twitchy, confrontational, out of control – was something we’d never beheld before in UK pop. Rotten, Strummer and Weller learned a lot from his edgy demeanour. He does it right RIP
Billy Bragg
found out that Cathal Coughlan has died. It might not show but his band Microdisney were one of my biggest influences.
Another man done gone…
Made good use of his talents…
The latter from the hit…
Not to be confused with…
I was hugely impressed with them on The Tube early in their overnight success (after 14 years) due to introducing sequenced synths to their sound whilst still managing to sound this raw. (Their videos were also popular).
Jim Steinman has bitten the dust.
Never shy of the big production he’d often throw in everything including the kitchen sink.
Rock with additional Roll
Chris Barber was a very important figure in British music in the 1950s and early 1960s with his own Trad Jazz band, introducing Skiffle and bringing Blues performers to the country.
Here’s a cut from one of the best live albums ever recorded, ‘Barber In Berlin’ (1959) which is considerably more rock and roll than most rock and roll.
Eddie Van Halen has died. I wouldn’t claim to be a fan but by popularising playing with two hands on the fret board, tapping, he did make a big difference to how guitar was played.
Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac seeing the funny side of a bit of a cock-up in Oh Well.
Bugger. Neil Innes has died.
The Hit.
"I’ve suffered for my music and now it’s your turn".
Whatever.
