Red Hot Chilli Pipers at Inveraray today

Continuing my Crown Liquor-instigated series of shots from gigs. these guys are fukkin mental but the audience love 'em.

Next week, blues legend Johnny Winter at Glasgow Academy (assuming the old bassa lives long enough to take the stage...)

Here's ra Chilli Pipers....

After ole Johnny it will be either Jarvis Cocker or George Thorogood & the Destroyers. Decisions decisions...

The Red Hot Chilli Peppers are homogenous, over-produced, rock-sludge.

Their global popularity stands as a testament to their formulaic, tedious, catch-all, paint-by-numbers opportunism.

Their pulling power remains a complete mystery to me.

The RHC Pipers are worse than that.

The musical equivalent of a pottery model of a leaping salmon bearing the legend "Frae Bonnie Scotland"

Fit only for pissed-up beer-boys without the wit to be properly ironic.

Mind - that's only my opinion

Incidentally...

Toots and I spent our honeymoon in Inverary.

We spent the first night watching the first ever complete UK TV broadcast of the Elvis 68 comeback special.

Then we visited a wildfowl reserve, went to a jumble sale and visited a trout farm.

Three days later we were both back at work.

Romance just aint the same nowadays somehow

Yeh I got married in 1980s penury and our honeymoon consisted of: Fort Augustus, Oban, Inveraray and Lochgilphead, in that order. On the 6th day it pished with rain, so we just went home for the rest of the break.

Poor but happy, poor but happy

PS anyway I was working at Inveraray, so technically it wasn't really a gig I went to. Just trying out a new camera lens during a break and shot these mentalists......I agree about the Peppers too btw.

Blimey

Our honeymoon experiences overlap a bit

Did you also indulge in a bit of deep-down and dirty sexual shenanigans in the hotel room shower?

I know I did.
































I think Toots was down in reception trying to procure a copy of the Argyll & Sutherland Evening Post at the time

Aye those were the days. Unbridled sex. Poverty. Rickets. All happened before the Internet came and destroyed our lives

PS Be careful, the nazi won't like those mental images of his sister "buying newspapers down at reception"

That was code, wasn't it?

I concur.

Apart from the unbridled sex bit

Toots' enthusiasm for the physical act of lovemaking runs roughly parallel to Dale Winton's enthusiasm for beer drinking, farting competitions, Rugby League and applied mechanics

Clearly a woman of taste

Taking Immo and Bewlay's opinions of the RHCP's music I realise just how much they remind me of...The Clash.

Good man mo, pictures or it didn't happen.


Funnily enough my mate rang the other day and asked if I fancied going to a gig, if so did I fancy Shed Seven. Told him gig yes, Shed Seven no. Fuck I've seen em 3 times with him, that's enough.

Anyway pictures of the gig will posted to stop your carping.

Carp, me?
