medichi Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Saw Gratitude play Liverpool tonight - Jonah being one of my all-time greatest musical heroes EVER - and the gig was ACE! Why this band aren't the biggest act in the world, I don't know, but SURELY they should be huge. Anyway, they manage to create the best atmosphere, a real feeling of a special gig, Jonah working the crowd, flawless musicianship etc etc. Gig finishes, I'm fucking ecstatic at how great it was, I got to chat to Jonah pre-show, then they come back on for the encore. The guitarist has broken a string, so there's only one song they can play - "The only song MORE rockin' that the Quo" - The fucking WILDHEARTS! "You Got to Get Through..."If you know me, you know I'll have shit my pants at Jonah playing a song by my favourite band, but when it gets to the chorus, Jonah's down the front, and who is the only bastard in the crowd of dyed-balck hair Atreyu wannabes and screamy-teens to know the words? Yep, ME! So me and Jonah SCREAM the chorus together, nose-to-nose before he heads off to the other end of the stage after giving me the biggest grin and thanks. Spoke after, and I was the first to know the all words since they started playing it, and promised to learn 29x the Pain for the next time!Yes, I gush like a little girl! Yes, I am fan-boy uber-nerd, and I diven't give a FUCK!Rockin'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medichi Posted September 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Aye, Jonah from Far. Gratitude are bordering on kinda stadium rock - hints of U2 and "Holy Bible" era manics. But super-ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
