PSA - The Story of the Marshall Amp - Beeb 4 - 28 Nov

HAL9000

...and just for good measure it's sandwiched between a couple of Pink Floyd programmes. Enjoy.

Bad programming. It should be the Story Of The Hiwatt amp if they're going to sandwich it in a Pink Floyd evening. Don't they know ANYTHING?

Looking forward to it!

Thanks for the tip.

I hope there are some good interviews with the players.

Old Slasher will probably be on no doubt.

Be good to get some insight from others though. Laugh if you like but Yngwie would probably make a good interviewee for this. He knows his Marshalls.

Jo Whiley narrating? WTF? Can't stand that woman

This!!
I saw her on a talent show for bands a few years ago (can't remember the name) and she loudly told everyone that she "hated boring guitar solos" by which she clearly meant any guitar solos. She's now happy to trouser a load of dosh for narrating a documentary on the amp that generated so many of those "boring" solos. F*ckin' hypocrite!

I remember when she was on radio 1 she would use the term 'sucks' constant, like it was completely normal to be used here in the UK when infact she was the only one ever using it. sounded sooooo annoying

Used to loath Jo Wiley, I must be mellowing with age, quite like her now.  She is a lot less like a 6th former in her delivery these days.

I thought the documentary was pretty thin to be honest, just an intro to the 50th Anniversary concert.

I used to watch that, not sure why really as I just got wound up. I've also heard her talk about 1976 and the Clash as year zero for music, wiping out the old hippy music.

which was filmed for a DVD. Fairly sure it never came out so what happened to all that footage?

While I enjoyed the programme, interestingly many of the 60s/70s clips showed bands playing just about every major brand of amp except Marshall.
