Any fans here?
Saw them on Friday in a teeny tiny venue, it was dirty, dripping with sweat, the kind of place where you need a shower after just walking near the building.
Possibly the best gig i've been to all year. Was a perfect place for them. I was right at the barrier infront of Ole' Danny One Leg for a while before heading into a bit more centre stage for the sweaty bouncing..
Took a couple of songs to warm up, then was just pure energy and fun. When Ginger is having a good day (seems to be a bit more often now he's a bit older..) he really is a great front man.
Still happy

Wifey met Ginger when he was in one of his moods when she was much younger, i think she said that mother in law had a go at him about it, as it was like a meet & greet birthday present or something..
Haven't listened to the Yoyo's in ages.. the album was amazing though

Ever since they reformed back in the early 2000s though it just feels something is missing from Ginger's voice. He doesn't have that snarl or power he used to have.
I follow Ginger on Twitter and he's not a well man. He worries me greatly with some of the stuff he comes out with...

This thread reminded me I have a copy of Earth vs.
The singer in my first band was a big Quireboys then Wildhearts fan. He told me to buy it years ago, but I never really got into it at the time.
What a cracking album! Forgot how good it was.
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to

It's a great album, one of those I played over and over again when it first came out. And I'm not generally an over-and-over-again person.
I was sceptical at first, because I couldn't stand the Quireboys. But it really is very good. Trouble was, none of their subsequent stuff matched up, for me anyway.
It is a great album. Back on my regular playlist.
Having listened to Earth vs. The Wildhearts all morning I decided to go back and listen the Dogs D'Amour, who the singer I mentioned earlier was also into. Jesus. I wish I hadn't!

Shite, weren't they. I've never liked those Stones/Faces wannabe, rock 'n' roll rather than rock bands.
Even Hanoi Rocks were overrated, although I'm prepared to concede that may be a minority opinion...
Yes. Yes, they were shite. It all sounds very contrived.
They were responsible for me buying a crochet jumper back in the day. The wankers. I looked a right twat.
My first band were actually called The Bullet Proof Poets (named after their song Ballad of the Bullet Proof Poet). A great deal of our set consisted of Dog's covers (I think I still have my Errol Flynn tab book somewhere). As I said, the singer was a BIG fan. The band didn't last long, but I am still mates with the singer.
