This is the letterman band that really rocked. Antoine Figg on drums.. that guy is the best drummer. Will Lee is a total douche but he can play. I canb't remember the guitar players name, but he was fantastic.. so versatile.. then Dave went to cbs and got some dorky band... geez all those extra people suck.
Road to Hell or Highway to Hell or even a Goat Track to the ante-room for the delusion you choose which is Hades some people rebel (Thank Yod Hod & God) (Snicker) & those that love freedom keep enough of their soul free so as to be able to tell the god of this world exactly where he can shtick his twisted heaven\hell retirement village for losers who bow & instead they go stand out in the darkness & wait for the star to go BANG & for Christ to find them in the post supernova fire!
Chris has been a highly underrated artist. His songs in the eighties and early nineties were great. His slide guitar playing is top notch. I was highly influenced by him and Mark Knopfler. If you want, click MrAlvarda down below and check my songs.
If someone asked him to lipsync he'd probably walk away. He doesn't do lipsync. I know he did once, just once. He will never do it again. So any talkshow that might be pondering the thought would just have to can it. Cause he wouldn't do it.
I see his older videos & it is obvious how much his illnesses have stolen from his youth. But they couldn't steal his love of music his passion to play. He's a real fighter & has many things he wants to explore with his music. You go Chris. Love you man
@Perroloco00 That's right. He is considered, by most, and more importantly most guitarist to be the best slide guitar master on the planet today. Such a humble, kind hearted, loving family man. Being struck with so many life threatening illnesses has made him appreciate and cherish each and ever moment for how precious it really is.
He's a soft spoken man that just happens to have a very deep voice, which truely make him incredibly sexy.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
the whole performance is ruined by the backing band playing the song too heavy, especially the guitarist nearest the camera. Chris's playing is superb but it's lost in the the band's efforts to play this like a metal song.
I heard this song on the radio today and hadn't heard it in years. Came on to YouTube and found this incredible live version. Fantastic, just fantastic!!!!!!
NOTE ! THIS IS ROAD TO HELL -Pt 2 Well I'm standing by the river But the water doesn't flow It boils with every poison you can think of And I'm underneath the streetlight But the light of joy I know Scared beyond belief way down in the shadows And the perverted fear of violence Chokes the smile on every face And common sense is ringing out the bell This ain't no technological breakdown Oh no, this is the road to hell
He is soooooo brilliant.... saw him in Amsterdam last year. Nice memories!! This song and looking for the summer. And the instrumental part was also great
401k, Roth IRA, Mutual Funds , Stocks, those are worthless pieces of paper flying away from you and always will be, get out of them, with the nut jobs we still have in congress bailing out the banks and auto companies and all the business that aint worth crap do you really think we will ever dig out of this mess? think again, Rea says it all here, sometimes I think tax evaders are the smart ones, do you really think the govt spends wisely? think again
How.. on earth.. this became stereo out of nowhere when it was in mono? And, how are the rythm guitars and piano louder? Did you reload the video with dsp effects? :(, It's messed up now, what happened here?
i first heard the song through F.M when i messed up behind bar,,,,, Chris rea looks great man,,, and i searched this songs by the name called "Road to hell"
super songs.....
