Camie Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 "Ten seconds into the timebomb-ticking intro to 'Black Elvis' we realise, f**k, just how we've missed Gold Blade. Oh sure, there's been all manner of snakeoil salesmen beefing soul 'n' R&B up with berdecibelic guitar pain in their absence, and the Detroint garage renaissance was anticipated by the Blades's lam-flecked devotionals. But no-one else delivers rock's gospel as surely, as totally, as Brother John Robb. His restless spirit courses through the urgency of the 'Blade's glamour-drenched strut: the sense that every moment of your life is all-or-nothing, to be lived to the utmost, and that rock 'n' roll can be your fuel, your salvation, our reason for living.And with rock 'n' roll as sweet as this, who'd doubt him? Yowling over a re-tuned Gold Blade, Robb delivers old favourites (the oily sin of 'Hairstyle') and future classics ('Who Was The Killa?') with equal, utter conviction, a prodigal figurehead for a ragtag generation of true believers.

MacKays of Queen Street... yes THAT! shop has around 40,000 second hand lab coats on sale right now. Well OK that's not entirely true - they've been on sale for the past 15 years... BUT wouldn't it be freaky for both the mutants at MacKays and the bands, especially Goldblade if 150 people showed up wearing labcoats?"Picture a man..." nah nee nah nah, nah nee nah nah.
