Warren Zevon with the Letterman band.
Was reminded of this lot when I stumbled across a 1987 ticket stub for a Fun Lovin' Criminals gig just a few minutes ago. People on here might not know who they are - they were a kinda NY, rap-rock trio who emerged in the mid-to-late 90s. They had some minor hits in the UK, and toured here quite a lot, but I understand they had no impact in the USA. They played live on stage as a three-piece - guitar, bass, drums. The last one and a half mins of this tune 'I Can't Get With That' is a fine guitar solo - if the laid back schoomzy groove does not grab you at first, let it play out:

And, I first saw them on UK TV doing this (it was this performance). I think it is '96 - 'Smoke 'Em', one for all you devotees of the weed:

This still does it for me... A great band at the wrong time, and a verrry sexxay Buffy.
I miss jamming.
And they think rock stars do a a bunch of drugs.

It's too easy to feel easy.
I saw this new Hugh Cornwell (ex-Stranglers) tune on TV recently - pretty good:

... and it made me look up this - the extended version of 'Walk on By' by The Stranglers:

(BTW - can't embed two vids in one post?? Dis is new ...)
Walk on by is Dave greenfield doing the doors , in a good way :D
I was reading a book about The Stranglers, and back in '77 when people would say they sounded a bit like The Doors, they'd say 'Wha? Who? Doors? Never heard of 'em, mate.'
Ha. They was lying, of course. Cornwell's guitar style is quite like Robbie Krieger as well. The solos on 'Walk on By', I reckon, were later ripped off on this piano solo by Jools Holland on The The's 'Uncertain Smile', released 1983 (from 3:25 until the end).

I'm sure this is a fave of Roth Army regulars ... NOT.
They are similar or definitely a nod to them.
Back in the day , in my yoof I played a support gig with the stranglers in London , post Hugh . Paul Roberts I think , any way they were very cool guys . John Ellis the then guitarist was ace he just wanted to talk guitar all night .
I do have a soft spot for the stranglers .
I had no idea you were a musician, Van-d ... my only brushes with famous musicians (off the top of my head) were with: i) Michael Schenker, drunk out of his tree in a takeaway in Glasgow after a MSG gig - he offered me a slug of his brandy, circa 1981; ii) Neil Murray, once of Whitesnake, who I shook hands with in the loos (oh-er) at Van Halen's Wembley Arena gig in ...92, I think; and Lloyd Cole (of Lloyd Cole and the Commotions) who I actually shared an apartment with for a few months in '85 in Glasgow. He really was a bedsit bard, even though he was by then on his second album, and in the charts etc ...
I remember Lloyd cole they had a couple of hits I think , though not my cup of tea.
Meeting people who are famous has totally changed now a days with the development of mobile phone cameras . Imagine a pic of u and schenker having a drink it would be class :D
A girl friend at the time loved U2 and to my shame made me go see them in Leeds some years ago .
So we're wondering around town and bump in to Wayne hussey of the mission . A indie pop band at the time but he was pissed off his face in the middle of the day , And could hardly speak .
So we go to the gig at the stadium and various bands are playing and on come the mission and Wayne hussey has a bottle of what I assume is jd and staggers about a bit sings a couple of songs then falls off the stage . And this is one of these high stadium gig stages . The band play a bit music and then cut short the set ..
It must be a talent to be able to be that pissed and perform , one mr hussey had not mastered lol
I remember The Mission - weren't they a spin-off from some other big Indie Goth band. Not the Southern Death Cult .... But that story reminds me - I used to drink in this "wee man's bar" in Glasgow (no women, no female toilets, just sad, derelict males getting slowly drunk in the afternoon) and standing at the bar for all the time I was there, and sinking whisky after whisky, was Mark E Smith of The Fall. Turns out they were playing a gig in Glasgow.
But, he was always drunk anyway ... anytime
There was a programme on BBC 2 or 3 last year about the history of British punk rock and smith was on it , he looked and behaved like a belligerent drunk . One you would avoid in the street . He looked ancient .
I had to watch in disbelief . I am not a fall fan but was always under the impression he was an intelligent articulate person . He didnt come across like it .
Is that a confession . My son :biggrin:
Yep, that's him! Think he drinks possibly to cope with the world!! I saw them once, in 2000, at the time of this record (below), when he had a pretty hot band - and I can honestly say it was one of the best gigs I have ever been to (and I wasn't a fan):
