Frank Black and the Catholics - Reading 2001 #2

[alecage]

Dave Philiips (the slide guitarist) is a great talent.

[gary13th]

@alecage he is brilliant, especially on this one, bring back the Catholics, i say!

[Exilemainstreet]

My favorite line in a rock song ever: Forget your ying, and go fuck your yang.

[gary13th]

@vincentpjones, I saw the Pistolero tour at the Astoria 2, brilliant gig, also the Show Me Your Tears tour in Edinburgh and Sheffield, all brilliant gigs, I have to say I think FB has lost his way in the past few years.

@gary13th lost his way? I think he did great stuff with the Catholics, however Honeycomb, Fastman/Raiderman, Bluefinger and what I've heard of Sevenfingers are exceptional albums, almost every Frank Black Album is of a different musical genre, and you can see the variations in all the Albums he did with the Catholics. Everyone has different taste I suppose, I'm just curious what new music you think isn't on par with his older stuff.

[gary13th]

@888archangel i just am not so keen on his newer stuff, is all, the blend of the instruments and lyrics dont seem as good, just my own personal opinion though

He opened with Hermaphroditos when the original tour reached London Astoria. They played for almost 2 and half hours. Fucking amazing!! Still think 'dog in the sand' was their best album.

[arndtrnc]

one of the best gigs ive been at.

[neviatha]

yeah man!!!!! i was there in the front somewhere.... this was an awesome set!!!! The whole band oozed cool!!!

[orient1961]

Thankzz Gary 13th. I Iove this track. The album version is much more mellow..

Is 'Hermaphroditos' some Greek r' Roman God or what ?

[TheTeabagCoalition]

best song ever? best live band?

[crabshaw]

Bobby Strickland lead guitar ?

He played with Todd Rundgren in the late 80`s when Todd put down his guitar. Bobby carried the Rundgren Guitar torch quite nicely thank you very much.

[Crackerdamus101]

[powderkeg420]

[jaxjagsman]

"Hermaphroditos". It's on Dog in the Sand.

[Darthmagnet]

This was a good mix, these artists. I saw them

at a very small venue in LaCrosse Wisconsin and

I gotta tell ya, you really can't beat talent.

They're for real. Just people who know

how to rock and roll. No bullshit.

In 100 years when he might die, the convoy will wrap around the earth three times. Work will be illegal for three weeks. In 1000 years when people finally understand him. The world will be a better place.

[alfo2000]

[impiboy]

[gary13th]

doesnt cut out for me!

[tesla007]

too bad the crowd doesn't appear to know what they are witnessing. Those zombie's should be bowing down, instead they look like they are waiting to catch flies.

[theshadowlessfigure]

That they were. I only got to see them once at the El Rey in LA and he blew me away, drunk and all. I mean he was going thru a lot of shit at the time and you could see it in his faded eyes.

Regardless, he kicked more ass then any lesser band on a good day. Frank Black is my hero.

[narcopepsi]

They were an Awesome Band to see live! Frank Black rocks!

[esportebizz]

Charles é sinistro !!
