Vintage Trouble on Jools Holland

[Philly Q]

You heard Graveyard? Swedish chums of Witchcraft, sound very like them but a bit less psychedelic, not quite as good but well worth a listen.

I know it's not like me to be so up-to-date, but I like Witchcraft.  Must check out Graveyard.

You liked Blood Ceremony too, right? They've another album out that's worth getting a look at too - Living with the Ancients.

Yes indeed - that's another thing I'm not very good at anymore, keeping up with new releases.  Thanks!

I've got that blood ceremony record. it's pretty good, it's actually my girlfriends and she digs it from a folk and psych aspect which I guess shes into more than metal. kind of heavier than I expected it was going to be. I liked Graveyard.

I'm off to see these tomorrow night with the Mrs.
Will let you know if they are any good

[Twinfan]

They played Manc last night, and I had tickets, but I couldn't make it in the end.  The Mrs was busy and then I got stacked at work  :(

[Matt77]

Well I'm trying to work out if I have ever heard a singer as good as that before.
What a voice!
More my wife's cup of tea overall, but they are a great band and hung out drinking with people after the show.
The guitarist was playing 2 small lazy j combos through a decent pedal board and stuck to his Les Paul all night.
He sounded great. The strattiest sounding Gibson I have heard

[Ian Price]

Sounds like you had a great time. He does have a great voice indeed. I did think he was a bit of a tw@t on Rockstar INXS though (not sure if any others on here watched that) and must admit that I didn't give him much a of a chance when I heard he was in Vintage Trouble. I think I may have been wrong.

I think the guitarist plays a VOS. Very nice sounding. He has also sanded the finish off the back of the neck - not sure I would do that on such an expensive guitar!

[Matt77]

He's changed the bridge pickup as well.
The singer wasn't a tw@t at all.
We bumped in to him in York before the show and he was a really chatty guy.
I think he just needs to put a lot of front on for when he performs. Understandable considering the energy he puts in to it

What's he changed it too?

Sounds like the singer is a nice guy then. Perhaps he was under a bit of pressure on Rockstar and thought he had to put a bit of an act on to get himself noticed - he did refer a few times to him being black and that it works against him as people wouldn't vote for him because of that. Glad that not winning the show has worked out much better for him.

Matt77, considered dropping into the York show last night..might have seen you had I been bothered to get up off my arse!
If you make friends with the band on FB Nalle (the guitarist) is quite a cool guy and willing to talk about gear

[Matt77]

I could have given you a lift.
I might ask him which bridge pickup it is. He didn't use the rhythm pickup once

[Twinfan]

He was in Guitarist a month or so ago and he said what he swapped the pickup for.  I'll try and dig it out...

[Twinfan]

The pickup is a hand made custom wound job from a friend in Japan.  No brand is mentioned...
