I just think the music is terrible. It’s stuffy and boring. I honestly believe people don’t like the music. It to me is a skill he has like a person scratching on a turntable, beatboxing or a big drum solo. It isn’t music. I can understand people standing watching impressed at a talent but it is not music.
Wham aren't rock and roll.
Very highly regarded by some very respected Blues musicians
Whole other argument mate.
I'd have been counting Careless Whisper, though it turns out that's Wham anarl.
You're right, they're much better than that.
Yeah but Hughes only sang lead vocal on 3 of the 9 tracks ….not enough to consolidate the albums style….he re recorded Empty Rooms on Run for Cover but like on Victims of the Future Moore chose to sing the lead vocal……If he had given it to Hughes to sing it probably would have been more successful than it was…….but thats Gary for you…..he always wanted to be the main man hence why he never lasted in Lizzy
That paragraph names 3 tracks and 2 musicians, and the only thing that most people may possibly recognise is Gary Moores name.
Careless Whisper was a solo track not Wham
True - I don`t think Moore is a bad singer though - not in the Uli Jon Roth/Joe Perry/Keith Richards guitarist/singer voices but he`s no Dave Meniketti either. He could do a job as an occasional lead singer but did need a full time singer.
Ugly fucker anarl
Yeah i agree…..when Gary stayed within a certain vocal range he was ok ..but when he stretched his voice it wasnt always that good……its a shame he couldnt put his ego aside in the same way Michael Shenker did for example. I still think hes a fab guitarist mind and a decent songwriter generally really like a lot of the stuff he has recorded be that solo or with the likes of Lizzy etc
Well that's what I thought, but the internet reckons otherwise.
Huey Lewis & The News. Another band/artist massively influenced by Phil / Thin Lizzy. Huey toured with Lizzy in the '70s and plays harmonica on Live & Dangerous. He loves Phil and considered him his mentor.
He gets to hang out of Keren Woodward instead.
Divorced now I think
First line spot on, don't know about your second line though, sorry but not my sceneAnd rightly so. The man was a supremely talented singer songwriter and generous to those in need.
A proper hunky sexpot and gay icon
No musical comparison really.
Very, very true. But without him giving GM the confidence as a teenager to blossom, and being the initial driving force behind Wham, and happy to play second fiddle, GM would never have existed. And GM never questioned that, or ever had a bad word for him. And AR has been fiercely protective of GM's privacey and never sought to cash in.
