Had tickets for Soundgarden a few days (iirc) after Nirvana were due to play over here (still have the Nirvana ticket).
Unfortunately learning Cobain had blown his head off on the Friday put a bit of a downer on it. None of us fancied it so gave it a swerve.
Still regret not going, mind.

I remember the confusion when On Parole came out as there was no advance information, everyone just assumed it was a 'new' Motorhead album. Lots of confusion when it became apparent that there was so much overlap with the 'Motorhead' album.
Didn't we laugh at the lyrics to Vibrator!

I like it mate, but not sure it'll convert anyone not familiar with his work.
Like a fair bit of his solo work, think it's a grower.

It is an excellent track. The album On Parole is a great album. Of course it helps that three of the tracks on it, including this one, are old Hawkwind songs.

SOS Band, Change, Alexander O'Neal, Luther.
As Cabbige would say, 'good times'.
I got to see Alex live back in the early 2000s, he was part of this soul concert at Wembley Arena. Other acts were Kid Creole & The Coconuts, The Real Thing, Shalamar, Rose Royce, Tavares & Chic

Funnily enough, despite PG's well-deserved god-like status, a lot of famous early FM guitar parts are played by Danny Kirwan. Oh Well, for starters.Far from it, hence my comment about the 'sound' of the guitar not how quickly or otherwise it's being played.
Do pay attention Pike...I am generally not a fan of guitar solos and needless guitar wankery in particular.
The hammer on/pull off widdly stuff is actually pretty easy to learn even for ham fisted bass player like me.
It is ALL about the sound and melody and feel is much more important.
There are loads that I love and most are about the feel. Mind you the first time I heard Eruption...
Then you get this:
Likewise. There are many bluffers who hideously overuse flashy techniques such as hammer-ons, tapping and pinch harmonics to try to dazzle the audience.
Accurate use of string skipping and clean sweep picking are much harder to do. Most impressive if you are able to use these techniques skillfully, and then only use them REALLY occasionally and appropriately.
