Ah, Death Metal must be your thing.Decent guitarist, but got a voice like a pet shop burning down.
Did you hear of a band named the Lettermen, fantastic guitarist trio -? So sorry to hear about your illnesses - did you ever play the Tent in Huyton Quarry it was like a Phoenix social nightclub - The compare was a hoot .....I was, until September 2022, when I was in hospital for a week with sepsis and a kidney infection. With that kind of health scare, I called time on my gigging, which started in January 1969 in the Liverpool night clubs when I was 18, and still at school. What I saw going down in the night clubs at that time, as a schoolboy, certainly opened my eyes to a lot of things!
But yeah, I was an 'axe man'.
From this, in Feb '71 (1970 Gibson SG Standard into a Marshall 100w plexi stack):

Haha, sorry no air guitarists Joey! Yes, lead player needed, tried Clapton, Knopfler, Walsh, all busy! I play bassHang on, the person has to play lead guitar - & sing - Is Joe Walsh available - plus what instrument do you play or are you just an agent for this band ? Any air guitarist will qualify ?
I worked with the Lettermen a few times. Alan Greer was a fantastic guitaristThe place for Gigs now must be hard to find - in my day most pubs & clubs all around were many - I saw some terrific bands in Liverpool - my favourite band was a trio of guys - who sold guitars in Rushworths music shop in the day & performed at the weekend - The Lettermen - I watched them in the old cavern backing an unknown band named Show Waddy - they got the most applause - the band that made it were rubbish ....
They performed first - three local lads & tore the place down - I walked out on the top act - IMO rubbish ...
It's a shame the Lettermen never made it ...musically a class act ....
Played the Tent loads of times, they had a brilliant resident band for many years, Norman Young on guitar, think Ozzy Yu was also there for a whileDid you hear of a band named the Lettermen, fantastic guitarist trio -?

Played Huyton Labour Club when I was in a cabaret band. Stairs up from the dressing room to the stage. As you reached the top of the stairs, some wag had written, 'Give up hope, all ye who enter here!' We survived...Did you hear of a band named the Lettermen, fantastic guitarist trio -?

Er, no. Drummers inhabit a parallel universe. Their only friends are bass players, who say almost nothing most of the time. They are the only ones who can undrstand what the feck the drummer is talking about!think he plays drums?
