BELFAST 2009

I just found some video's from a gig in Belfast Ireland September 2009
Anyway Anyhow Anywhere
Pinball Wizard on Facebook.
I'm a Boy

As a side note,I had burst both of my eardrums a few shows prior to this gig and was unable to hear ..literally!
I could only hear the vibrations and the voice inside my head.
I could not tell any venues ownersat the time for fear they would cancel our gigs, the show must go on you know.
I guess all those years of playing gigs with shitty (or no) monitors paid off !

My ears are fine now thanks to some fine fine doctors here at home, and I can't wait to go back to the UK later this year.

In the misty morning,on the edge of time......

The world lost the greatest metal singer of all time today Ronnie James Dio.

I saw that man in the 70's/80/s/90's and until about a year ago with 'Heaven & Hell(Black Sabbath)
What a legacy...what a loss.
I love that mans voice.
I sing 'We Rock' at each and every soundcheck and have done for years and years.

Metal without Dio?......unfathomable.

Dio Facebook page

This song is one of his best, and probably my favourite although that is hard to determine with such a great catalog.

I'm a Roadrunner Honeeeeeeeeeyy!!!!

Dave (Wholigans bassist since 86) sent me this recently discovered video by us from
87-ish.recorded in Toronto ......back when my jeans Used To fit me :\
'Shakin all over/roadrunner/my generation blues'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLrEBD-ppJk

Dave dug another one up that was buried in the closet I guess, heres one I hadn't seen until 10-15 minutes ago, it's 'Eminence Front' and a clean good looking version considering it's from 86 or 87ish.
Yours truly wearing what was considered kinda coolish then, a Don Johson 'Miami Vice jacket (Roger wore it first so don't blame me !) :P

That's John Walsh on guitar who has long since dissapeared from the radar...no joke I googled the guy 1 day and searched for ages....he's vanished into thin air !!!
Apparently he's alive, but no longer thrilled with rock n roll.

1 last one I'd never seen until today, Won't Get Fooled Again...complete with smoke bombs (long since illegal)
TV show 'The Spot' featuring The Wholigans 2005 (scroll to the right for more or just push play)
Mute The Wholigans 'Playlist.com' player (above) before playing these video's
These video's will play back to back for at least 3 hours
