Awesome piece of 80s cheese straight out of the Transformers movie. Got to link to Mark Wahlberg’s amazing version of it in Boogie Nights – it’s a massively impressive performance, it must have been pretty tricky to get it to sound that bad. This tune also came out on a totally awesome picture disc that a friend was kind enough to give me for my birthday a couple of years back. Too cool for school
Little bit of R&B here. Always liked the keys in this tune and the background vocals in the chorus. Vids got some nice shots of New York in too. You gotta love a song where the singer admits to having a little fiddle downstairs – “sometimes I even touch myself” – TMI?
Luna-C, main man behind the Smart-Es and Kniteforce Records has a lengthy history of his musical career up on the Kniteforce Revolution website.
I’d really recommend setting aside some time to read it if you’re at all a fan of UK hardcore music or, in fact, you just want to know about one man’s experiences in the weird world of the music biz. I found it to be a fascinating read and really shows an honest account of the good, bad and ugly things that happen in the murky underground dance scene.
Gibson’s definitely my favourite make of guitar. I’ve always wanted to own a Les Paul and still hope that someday I’ll eventually have money spare to splash out on one. For now, I’m happy with my ’76 Explorer which I was lucky enough to pick up back in the late 90s for a pretty good price.
I spotted this lot recently, four of Gibson’s best looking guitars – The Les Paul, Explorer, Flying V and SG – all with a super awesome blackpaint job with a hint of deep red minimal red detailing across the rest of the guitar.
Here’s an image of all except the SG (never really liked them, personally) with a little close up of the skull on the fret board. Click the image for a bigger version…
They don’t seem to make them any more as they were discontinued in 2003. Probably for the best as I can see my credit card trying to jump out of my wallet as I type this…
