As a university student in the 80's, Wilcox had more urban legend surrounding him than Area 51. That he got thrown off more stages than he actually finished sets. that he got pissed off at some one in the crowd and so he pissed on them. However you slice it, love this this song.
I love Wilcox always did , I a big fan.. For you guitar players out there, he's in a open tuning, He's playing it here a tone down in G# or Ab... He is using an envelop filter during solo.. Great improv solo at the end.. Love it..
this guy is awesome to see in concert, my friend and i went 3 times in Grande Prairie, Alberta......sat in the front and was buying him shooters.....which he drank on stage. =)
@No1BearCat go to his website and get the cd... shit i went to the site and talkwith his manager about playin a show and almost accomplished that, just gotta look bro!!
he is playing at the cannington summer fest in early augest if anyone that dosent know cannington is a small town in ontairo close to 45 minutes north of oshawa
That my friend is called a slide. A lot of blues guitarist use one to give that nice blues slide effect listen on watch the video one more time and see how it is used. Watch Sonny Landreth play he is also a great guitarist.
@daniellondon1012 ; its for his guitar...this guy is awesome to see live....i saw him play 3 times in a bar in Grande Prairie, Alberta....we were buying him shooters and he was doing them on stage....David ROCKS!!!
i dont think this camera has very low frequency pickup or something, have you seen him do the solo with this crazy slide guitar effect, i wish he had a live dvd/cd
oh god....David Wilcox is amazing, i first heard this song when I was what? 6 with my Dad..I am now 22 n i know every word to everysong....riverboat fantacy is another one of his good ones....lol
Ya I noticed it a bit too . But you cant say the bass player is a slouch he is Tim White (Headstones)He his a great bass player listen to Unsound great bass track.
I learned tonnes from this guy. Used to go watch him a lot in the 80s. Opened for him once at The Dard in Wasaga and he made me look like a fool...he was so good.
David Wilcox is a brilliant guitarist and the song is a fun vehicle to show that tremendous talent...Hey David, don't know if you remember Mariposa a whole lotta years back? Great to have had you play some guitar with me...bob
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i dont mean to offend anyone, but this is the worst thing i ever heard in my opinion. the only reason i came to this was to find out exactly who sang this song. it plays constantly on the classic rock station while i'm at work and i couldnt believe what i was hearing. it's soo goofy and nonsensical.
You're right, it's a goofy song...! The man can really play guitar(I don't know if you're a musician or not). Anyway, thanks for not getting too abusive on my favorite Canadian guitarist and bluesman - you're entitled to your opinion.
It's absolutely a Tele!! Has a few custom mods though - namely 4 pick-ups instead of the standard 2, and 4 seperate pick-up switches. All this, coupled with his pedal board and Marshalls, allows for a lot of tones. (I'm a Wilcox/guitar nut.)
