Had tickets to go and see them last summer…was the wife and I first venture out, post COVID lockdown and was really looking forward to it. Got to the cornish beachside venue early and was enjoying drinks and the chilled vibe…only to begin over hearing chatter that Morcheeba weren’t in-fact coming. My wife, accompanying friends and I then went and asked the security if this was true…sadly it was, they’d got COVID in their camp so had to pull out. The venue had in fact put up the tiniest A4 printed sign outside as you came in…but it was so inconspicuous we’d missed it…total bummer.
I think that's harsh. But understand your point. It does sound careless.
Have to agree on the guitar solo. Frusciante was a huge influence on me picking up a guitar when I was as a kid. He has often proved he is more than capable on his instrument of choice, but this solo/noise doesn't add to this song. I found myself heading for the skip button upon my first listen. As a supposed 'ode' to the late Eddie Van Halen he could/should have pulled something truly magical out of his bag.
…94, I remember coming downstairs and seeing the newspaper next to my dad and with that seeing the news of the untimely death of another rock star to join the infamous 27 club, the end of Nirvana and what also seemed to me the death of grunge.
Totally stunning album this. One of my absolute faves. I was just saddened when these guys stopped making albums some 12years ago now. Still, there are a few EPs worth checking out from recent years.
I hear the chord sequence of a Red Hot Chili Pepper song here, but can't put my finger on which song? I thought it was an instrumental version at first!
Its taken from an album called Ultra Payloaded he made with Nuno Bettencourt from Extreme on guitar. The band called themselves Satellite Party. One album, back in 2007.
I understand that this is the first record they cut without Rick Rubin. It shows. Can't say I am a fan.
No that was the previous album from 2016 (The Getaway). This is Rubin’s work.
