Paul Gilbert-review/clips !!!


deci la Silver Church a fost foarte diferit fatza de concertul din oct. (27) 2008 la Becker Brau ! atunci Paul venise cu nevasta japoneza la clape, acum cu niste baietzi, dintre care unul blond ( si cu voce pe stilul lui Eric Martin de la Mr. Big), Tony Spinner-chitară, voce, Craig Martini, bass, voce și Jeff Bowders-drums.

diferit, same as life is :0
au inceput la timp, deci am pierdut prima piesa pina am intrat.
au cintat mai mult tehnic la inceput, cu influentele lui de Eddie Van Halen si cu tehnica de shred guitar...de pe albumul nou, Fuzz Universe si de pe cele mai vechi, si de pe cele cu Racer X,
de la jumate au inceput cover-urile,
Roundabout (Yes de pe Fragile ! 1971)-my clip !

Piesa zilei (4.12.10): The Kinks-(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman !

song: (Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman
de pe albumul LOW BUDGET (1979)
e un fel de "I was made for loving you"-KISS mixed cu Supertramp & hard rocking manfred mann

The band's biggest seller, this is the one that made even string-haired Molly Hatchet fans clutch the Kinks to their grease-splattered chests. The title track and "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman" can still be heard blaring out of car radios the world over, but Davies' provided "A Little Bit of Emotion" for long time fans.


Woke up this morning, started to sneeze
I had a cigarette and a cup of tea
I looked in the mirror what did I see
A nine stone weakling with knobbly knees
I did my knees bend press ups touch my toes
I had another sneeze and I blew my nose
I looked in the mirror at my pigeon chest
I had to put on my clothes because it made me depressed
Surely there must be a way
For me to change the shape I’m in
Dissatisfied is what I am
I want to be a better man

Superman superman wish I could fly like superman
Superman superman I want to be like superman
I want to be like superman
Superman superman wish I could fly like superman

Woke up this morning, what did I see
A big black cloud hanging over me
I switched on the radio and nearly dropped dead
The news was so bad that I fell out of bed
There was a gas strike, oil strike, lorry strike, bread strike
Got to be a superman to survive
Gas bills, rent bills, tax bills, phone bills
I’m such a wreck but I’m staying alive

[look in the paper, what do I see,
Robbery, violence, insanity.]

Hey girl we’ve got to get out of this place
There’s got to be something better than this
I need you, but I hate to see you this way
If I were superman then we’d fly away
I’d really like to change the world
And save it from the mess it’s in
I’m too weak, I’m so thin
I’d like to fly but I can’t even swim

Superman superman I want to fly like superman
Superman superman wish I could fly like superman
Superman superman wish I could fly like superman
Superman superman I want to be like superman
Superman superman I want to fly like superman
