What Are You Listening To? (Part VI) 2022/23

After listening to your Mike Flowers Wonderful I couldn’t resist sharing this one, I found this alternative video rather humorous too.

Woolworths sold the best tin openers in my opinion as I still have one that was bought in the 1980’s and it’s been very well used.

Sweet baby Moses on stilts! I haven’t heard this in years.

Oddly it triggered memories of Trigger Happy TV:

That’s oddly specific and yes they did.

I must admit that when I spot that one of my cans doesn’t have a ringpull, well it’s time to stress test a knife.

Prepping a few New Years works and I got one hell of an earworm stuck while sculpting. I may need bleach to get it out.

Lieutenant Pigeon with his dear old Mum playing the piano. Crazy but I like it.

I think I’ll have to go for the ultimate ‘wrong on so many levels’ performance ever in response:

Well I certainly can’t compete with that nor do I think I would want to without sharing any obscenities and probably getting myself banned from the forum :grimacing:

Well it’s always useful to have a trump card in your deck when it’s time to relax.

Ah, Satriani… no doubt an excellent techie on the guitar. But for some reason I’m not feeling it when he’s playing. Too precise, to clinical, no dirt. It’s like he plays what he plays because he can, not because it’s fun. Like some kind of guitar robot.

Well I will admit he can be a guitar robot. Overpracticed ? Overrehearsed ?? Not sure.

I forget how many millions of years ago it was I saw him live, but it was the Dream Team, Joe, Stu Hamm on bass, and Jonathan Mover on the drums. I think it was the Surfin with the Alien Tour, but not 100% sure, but at that show, it seemed to be ALL about the music. He DID have some hair at that point, so maybe that’s the difference LOL.

@Bad_Influence after reading your post, and posting mine, I thought of a guitarist that DID strike me as to what you mentioned, Yngwie Malmsteen. Saw him live, and was bored within 5 minutes. Ultra fast scales, and blurring speed. Got old real quick. He was soo loud in the mix, the poor singer had veins bulging out trying to be heard OVER the “guitar”.

Right, Yngwie is the ame category but - at least in his earler stages of his career - he did have this magic i’m missing with Satriani. Oh well, I’d be happy if I was at their 20% mark.

Not so bad, but he’s doing what my teacher told me to avoid: noodling the thing without committing to each note. Especially this Bach sequence is totally “because i can”

Oh dem ole days. Mover was a one album wonderboy on a little known album Fugazi, at least to me, but I did get to hear some outtakes of his when at Mansion studios … better than the album.
The best of his sticks, to me, is when he got with Steve Howe and [that guy from Phil Collins band].
