Brian Setzer doesn't get nearly enough credit for his skills. That dude fucking rips and he doesn't hide behind gobs of distortion and delay.

Cool - I'll listen in a bit. Just listening to Sound Awake by Karnivool which Liv would love and you would hate! I'll need something less dark and proggy when this is over.

Setzer and the Rev Horton Heat are true gems of modern rock and roll. not enough credit to either of them.

Yeah I've met him a few times going way way way back. I like his music, but I just can't get past how much of a cunt he was to me and my homies.

I've hung out with people WAY more famous than him and they were awesome. And this was back in the early 90s when he was mostly still nothing. I mean, there were like 50 people at his shows. We opened for him every time he came through, and he was a cunt every time. Lol. He was nowhere near good or famous enough to be such a twat. :shit:

I saw them in 80 on their 1st Oz tour. Grab the 1st album then work from there. Their cover of Can't Hurry Love was cool too. Ace live band - a deceptively simple sound that could fill a concert venue easily.

I've been listening to Built For Speed which apparently contains most of their first album.

I LOVE the Lust For Life style intro, (well, L4L & several other songs), amongst other things...[BBvideo=560,315]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBy4u7qngBs[/BBvideo]

Thanks, Cake. Believe it or not, I don't own a smart phone and I have no immediate plans to do so. :biggrin: The stereo already has a bluetooth connection - it's a decent bit of kit. I DO have an aux input on the stereo and an MP3 player, though. I didn't even know the input was there till I just looked at the manual - there's a tiny cover over it that flips up with a fingernail. It's not even marked!
