it is deadly but

the Old Grey one is where he starts with an acoustic geetar, then switchs over to an electric jobbie to go nuts at the end in typical David Byrne seisure fashion, Such tight t shirts as well....

I so *hearted* Talking Heads when I was a wee scamp

Speaking of John Martyn.....
'member Wet Wet Wet's defiling of 'Sweet Little Mystery' by aforementioned genuis?

I heard the John Martyn version for the first time in the last couple of years and was absolutely blown away, moved to tears by it.

'Sweet Little Mystery' wins my award for the worst cover version *ever*.

I'm trying to make sense of this, but I can't get past the god awful synth brass on "The Wets" version.

The real RG (ignore that bitch from the revs..)

I'm not sure if he was buried with it, I was at an exhibition of loads of his guitars 2 years ago in ballyshannon and I'm nearly sure it was there. I wanted to play his strat but the curator told me to get the fuck.


CAptain Anally Says:
...and about that stick - What we call is a "bass" is really a "bass/guitar" or something, i.e. it was invented as a cross over between a stand up double bass and a guitar, so bassists could have an affordable and portable instrument. That means that the stick is not a cross between a bass and a guitar, but more of a cross between a baritone guitar and a neatly shaped log....


3/5 stick users have strange beards.
