["Keith Astbury" ] [idealcopy] Johnny Marr's Top 10 Guitar Players ["Keith Astbury" Subject: [idealcopy] Uncut review of wire... Four star review of Wire on the Box in this months Uncut... "Footage of the stern old art-rockers in their pomp is hideously rare. WOTB counteracts this, a full length show recorded for German TV before a few dozen polite hippies. The tension is delicious, the music (mainly from 154) fantastic. Best of all, there's a mystique-smashing vision of the young band: gawky, self-conscious, striving cutely for the froider that only age would bring them. DVD extras: amusingly prickly interview, bonus audio cd. ****" Think it's time I ordered it myself.

James Williamson 2. Bert Jansch 3. Roger McGuinn 4. Pete Townshend 5. Radiohead (collectively) 6. Jimi Hendrix 7. Marc Bolan 8. Keith Richard 9. George Harrison 10. John McGeoch Not my choice - no Quine, Verlaine or Levene, but it was nice to see Williamson and McGeoch there. And as a Bolan fan I was pleased to see Johnny pick him and say the following... "MB was my 1st hero....He was a guitar freak. He even mentioned his Les Paul in his lyrics so he's gotta be there just for that. It's been said that he wasn't technically good and that he only knew a few chords but who cares? Telegram Sam? Get It On? 20th Century Boy? These were great and memorable, simple but not easy riffs. His riffs got straight to the heart of it. And he looked soooo good." Spoken like a good one!! Keith ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V7 #293 *******************************
