Former Motorhead guitarist Phil Campbell at the age of 64.
Mikkey Dee posted on FB saying, "We got the news this morning and it's so extremely sad about the sudden passing of my brother and dear friend Phil Campbell." I'm giving the "Better Motorhead Than Dead Live at Hammersmith" album a blast. |

I was sorry to have missed them last year when they played locally, but I was away at the time. Hopefully they might come back again.

At a local craft ale bar (capacity 80) The Guilty Men, 5 piece, featuring Clive Gregson, Paul Burgess on drums, and two long time members of John Lees' Barclay James Harvest, didnt know the other guitarist, Neil Cossar , but he was very good. Fantastic gig, two and a half hours, great songs , only one of which wasnt recent and the musicianship goes without saying. 4 singers too. Catch them if you can . They are headlining a small local fund raising festival in August so I will be.

A bit of the Black Crowes newbie. Not an original note in there, but very enjoyable imho...

Country Joe left us yesterday aged 84. RIP Country Joe McDonald - his headline set on the Thursday night at Cropredy 2005 with his band (basically Country Joe & The Fish without Barry Melton) was a magical experience. Certainly was . We had already seen them a few months earlier in Manchester and were also very impressed by the support, a young Manchester band called The Children. We went to the merch stand at the break to chat to them and buy a CD . Joe was also very impressed and came over and joined in the chat and also bought a CD. Great guy. I also saw him solo in about 1972 when he had had only just arrived in the country. Towards the end of the set he asked for requests. One wag shouted "Blue is The Colour" (football songs were the thing at the time) , he played it all the way through with a straight face. I also saw him at this time. The local university used to stage an all day annual summer free festival in their refectory and he played an acoustic set on the second stage on a Saturday afternoon and he was hypnotising. I was maybe about twelve at time and I'm not sure I knew who he was or anything about his Woodstock reputation but to remember this 40+years later it made an impression. RIP Joe. My own feeling is that it's unfortunate that CJ&TF are known, if at all, in wider culture for *that* chant and song at Woodstock, fun and powerful as it is. They were many things and that was only a small part. I'm surprised their recorded output, especially the early stuff isn't much more lauded. Electric Music was effectively the first truly psychedelic (i.e. produced on and about the LSD experience) rock album released. |
