GREAT BAND

[7echo]

"Whatever you do, don't make it sound like Sergio Mendes!" Yeah!!!!!!

[REDILLINGER73]

Too Much

[MjXllcommando]

how the fuck did ollie learn to plaY like this in 4 Years.  its not fucking fair.....

[highway234]

this dude is such a good guitar player that you worry a little about his mental health.

[MjXllcommando]

@highway234 hes a time traveler, there is no other way....no one can learn to play like that in the span of 4 years, otherwise i have to burn my guitar.

[highway234]

@MjXllcommando ladder riffs! ladder riffs are the secret.

[fivenotechord]

I thought Clive was in a vegetative state following an accident? Pray, do tell us more!

[Tveshag]

Fantastic Band,so underrated and that is really hard to understand...Just love this,thank you for sharing.

[killuminati63]

Roll 'em Smoke 'em Put Another Line Out what a fucking title !!

[rorscachbestbud123]

lol I love pattos music so much, when I couldn't find any tabs by them for sittin back easy, I taught myself lol

[groovo1]

still incredible, the most underated rock band ever

[blackrebel0]

I was there in the 70`s standing with my jaw on the floor listening to Ollie and the boys. Still in 2010 the best guitarist I ever saw....by a mile.

[marcasher24274]

wat a band! im a mate of clive griffiths he has some stories to tell. ollie no way given the recognition he deserves! someone post flat footed woman

[hamstar8]

@marcasher24274 , Hi, i spoke to the admiral a couple of years ago and he told me that clive was a virtual recluse since the car accident in 83, is he ok.

[petgerco]

Patto, ahead of their time, taking the piss out of heavy metal before heavy metal existed!

[econoroller]

The first song I heard by this family tree was "gone is the sad man" by the Timebox. I've been hooked on them ever since. Too bad more folks in the U.S. didn't know about these guys.....they were brilliant from the beginning. Thank you for posting this!

[lukeev]

Don't make it sound... like Sergio Mendez!!

[econoroller]

Oh No!!! I didn't mean it like that

(with all due respect to Sergio) I was only relating to

youtube folks how I got my first exposure to these guys.....

they were metal before there was metal....I just happened to hear one of their older pop songs first, that's all HA HA HA HA

[flopcat1974]

@lukeev Whatever you do!!.....

[comeonuirons]

aboslutely bloody brilliant

[vonbontee]

Fantastic reckless solo!

[rickxlcr]

When this first came out I thought it was the best rock track I'd ever heard, and still do.

[debicraig]

TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU

[Billsgang]

anyone have 'mummy?'

[debicraig]

I have the album....I had a nasty dream mummy........

[mcswine57uk]

Wonderful. Thank you so much for posting this. I'm 16 again! I can imagine gentlemen of a certain age sitting at their computers listening to this, heads nodding, with a huge smile on their faces.

[vezetek]

I'm one of them!

[DS1967]

yep, still nodding!

[debicraig]

Thats me...I am of that certain age

[heavymetalbebop]

One of my all time favourite bands.I saw them many times in the early 70,s."Loud green song" kick's ass big time.Turn it UP.!!!!!

[getupkid76]

Now THIS is f*ckin awesome!

The good thing with youtube is that just ignore ordinary TV and Radio with it's brainwashed tom hit-list "music" and tune in some classic real old tunes instead, and just sit back and relax!

sweet...

[Reinisen]

I think this really shows how Peter "Ollie" Halsall played when he was pissed off, drunk; high - or whatever. This is punk-rock played by crazy people within the "prog" format they probably just wanted to leave out forever... Amazing. Still kicking things. Destroy stuff. Whatever

[lukeev]

Spot on.

[FeitenFan]

Ollie can sure sling that SG around, eh'!

Ollie is the original speed demon, with melody!!

[dickdiddley]

Found out about this band when I was really digging for great guitar players and I was so amazed how good Hassal was. I see a post that stated before there was van halen there was hassal! Yes, and he played so spontaneous. I don't think any of the guitar greats of the 80's can play with that kind of raw gusto!

[mooseontheloose]

Bear with me on this because YT won't allow the actual URL: Go to olliehalsall [all one word] followed by the usual UK suffix,then forward slash, rollemsmokem, dot and htm [you need the final htm]

[JohnVasco]

Before Vai Satriani, van Halen and others surfaced, Ollie Halsall had already done it all. Most underrated guitarist of all time. His playingon this track is phenomenal.

[scmikey]

Thanks,

Hard to find much Ollie out there. If anyone can find some video of him on Neil Innes How Sweet to be an Idiot please post it. Some of the best guitar I ever heard on Immortal Invisible.

[Reinisen]

...kicking things. Destroy stuff. Whatever

[octavedr1]

This is one of those songs that used to set me up for a night out, absolutely AWESOME!!!

[ihop28]

Does anyone have anything by Timebox?

[Reinisen]

PUNK!!!

[mooseontheloose]

Absolutely. But this is 1972

[tuskedbeast]

Awesome. Thanks for putting this out there.
