'poor sods, first time in the UK and they get picked up in the Van by us. They look worried, they dont really want a red stripe at this time of the day , thanks. Chris lights one of his medicinal cigarettes:"could we open the window to let the smoke out?...." Kernahan hits the M1 and puts the pedal to floor : "What speed is that guy doing? ya know the imit is 55 in wisconsin....." and then before we get 1/2 way to to the first venue: "can you pull over my brothers nose is bleeding...."
But strap em into their gear and they all grew 2 feet into babyeating southern redneck serial-killer worshiping rock monsters -and they went off - this was the first time Id seen anyone use a ceiling beam as a guitar slide. Like all US bands they only get to europe after spending years gigging and were as tight as the proverbial ducks, each night they seemed to work at getting a bit slower and a bit louder so by the time the tour ended they sounded like the swans playing lynrd skynrd.
And play lynrd Skynrd they did, Neil Diamond too......
Killdozer - I am I said
This was recorded at the Liverpool Bierkellar ,26th May 1988. The venue was a great big hall and was pretty empty all the key ingredients of a crap recording! There were some great nights and crowds though , northampton, bristol and the Greyhound rocked....bloody scousers dont know what they missed.
What a bunch of pussies.
