Bashed Out - by This is the Kit, who I'll be seeing tonight in Brum

 

Yep, gotta agree - it's a fine album.

 

I listen to a very wide variety of music but the album that has really got a hook in me (and has since it was released at the back end of 2017) is this one:

If you haven't heard it yet, see if you can find it on Spotify (or similar) and have a listen.

 

Recently read the book The Dirt by Motley Crue. Was never a huge fan, but I like it now. The guitarist is underrated. He would often tune his entire guitar down a whole step, like on Dr. Feelgood below. I have always liked one-guitar bands because you have to be good if you are the only one. He trims the fat, and has old school influences. I now see this band as an extension of the Mick Ronson/David Bowie era.

Song was fun but really loved the Tele player. Beautiful tone and masterful understated technique.

I've been digging back to my youth with a new appreciation of Eagles Hotel California and Robert Palmer Addicted to Love. Have blast signing along to my acoustic guitar.

 

right now? a lot of goth and burning spirits hardcore.

 

This last year or so I’ve turned into a total Richie Kotzen fanboi. Can’t get enough of the guy and he’s got a huge catalog.

 

Since seeing Albert Lee a few weeks ago I've been listening to a lot of clean, fast pickers. Here's one I really like :

 

I stumbled across his work a few years ago and bought "The Essential Richie Kotzen" CD/DVD set. However, for me, I think a lot of his best work has been with Winery Dogs. Power trios are great and Kotzen, Sheehan and Portnoy are right up there with the best. My wife and I went to see them in Manchester and they didn't disappoint.

 

Van Halen's first two albums here lately. It's been a while.

 

This is what I'm listening to tonight:

They're awesome live. Saw them open for The National back in December. Really great night out!

Been revisiting my Van Halen cd’s for the first time in years. That third album still doesn’t get me but the rest through Balance do. Balance was the big surprise. I didn’t like it at all 20 years ago but now I do.
