EssentialTension Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 That was dreadfully dull - definitely the song was at the wrong gig. Why was Billy Cox any worse than the rest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjones Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) There is no words I can possibly say that describe how awful that lot are. I thought it was a shred at first. They'd all been at the hospitality bar/drug dealer for a long time beforehand methinks. But then I always thought Mitch Mitchell was crap anyway.

Cameronj279 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Had to stop at 1:50 mark because of my dislikeness (is that a word?) of Slash. I do fairly enjoy the tone whoever that bassist has though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yes, fairly, but his playing is not sympathetic of the song at all. ps, if there is currently no such word I believe its coining with respect to Slash is acceptable.

So this performance was rehearsed and part of a tour! Unbelievable! Certainly Winwood should be in better company. Shame about Mitch.

Gust0o Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Yeah, thanks for reinvigorating rock and roll, Jimi - since you've been dead for a while, we didn't think you'd mind if we kept the fuss to minimum... and, besides, we're not getting any younger. Yeah, made my balls ache. In a bad way. The same kind of way airport scanners do, which makes me wonder. Still, the bassist in me managed to find time during the performance to wonder how Slash is allowed to smoke within the workplace - or is it not lit? The human in me didn't care enough to find out, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinynorman Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 You have to hand it to Tim Rose, he's still spinning the traditional folk song story in 1997. But there's not a lot of hard evidence for the other claims either. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHm_8EZ1rJE&feature=related I'd like to believe him, he did way the best version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Czovj5bCHt0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2112 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Well, that sounded absolutely crap. But then it's a crap song to start with so I never expected greatness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
