_ _ [D] We have the best of Humble Pie.
Right, well I'm on the best of Humble Pie.
I don't need no doctor.
That's fantastic.
I don't know if that's the live version.
My all time favourite live album is Rocking the Fillmore _ by Humble Pie.
I think the best gig I ever saw was when I was about 14.
They played in High Park in London. _
I opened up for _ Grand Fountain Railroad.
[E] We have [B] _ The Faces, a pretty influential band.
Well yeah.
As good as a wink, hugely influential.
Yeah, I think [B] this is their best album.
I was lucky enough the last couple of years to [E] actually be playing in [A] The Faces.
I was [D] playing with Ian [A] McGlagan.
Ian McGlagan.
He's a sir now, right?
Isn't he a sir?
Ian [E] McGlagan.
They call him Sir Ian McGlagan.
No, no, no.
In his own mind.
In his own [G] lunchtime.
I don't know, [A] when I was about _ 15 or 16 I went down this [Bm] place called Portobello Road [D] in London.
I found a store just like this.
_ When I started [G] listening to music, I started when I was really young. _ _ _
We had an old [D] radiogram.
My uncle had been a bit of a teddy boy.
He gave me [Am] his old 78s.
So [D] the first records I ever put on were [A] like The Big Bopper, Great Balls of Fire, Elvis, Gene Vincent.
On a 78, this thing went whizzing round.
And [E] they was all in cardboard sleeves that were stitched together.
_ Anyway, when I was about 14 or 15 I went down Portobello Road.
I was flicking through the rack [B] like this and I found this [E] record _ that looked [B] like a 78.
And I just picked it [B] up.
And it was by The Faces.
And I didn't know who the fuck they were.
_ But oh, I took it home and really dug it.
And [D] then I kind of researched it a [A] bit and I realised they were a spin-off from [E] The Small Faces.
_ _ [A]
It rocks, but it's this real kind [F#] of weird, hybrid, [B] groove, funk, _ [F#] blues, soul, _ rock thing.
[B] I don't think anybody sang it like [F#] The Faces.
It's full of character.
[B] That's what I reckon on.
Were you [F#] playing a lot of that stuff when you started [E] playing?
_ Yeah, this is like one of [A] the records I learned to play bass.
I just _ put the record on _ and play along with it.
How much did you, do you remember how much [E] _
did you spend on your first bass?
[A] I _ _ [C] think it was £15.
[D] _ _ Wow, [C#] incredible.
_ [B] Do you remember it [D] like_
Yeah, it [C#]
looked like a Fender [D] Mustang.
It had like Go Faster stripes on it.
But then I [B] realised [Am] after _ a while, it had actually been a guitar [D] that somebody had taken the six strings off of [C#] and put four [B] in instead.
[D] And when I went for my [A] little audition [B] with Steve and Paul [D] and this other guy, Wally,
[C#] who was like a [Bm] prototype technician, [A] they said,
Right, and I played a song _ _ _ [D] _ off The Faces' [C#] first album [B] called Three [D] Button Hand Me Down.
It's got quite [C#] a fancy bass part that [D] Ron Wood plays actually.
[C#m] And I managed to get [E] my way through that and they said,
Right, [A] I was impressed.
You've got the job.
But this was like a Crocodile [A] Dung D moment.
They said, but you're not playing that and that's not a bass.
I said, what do you mean?
And they pulled from _ underneath [N] Wally's bed the case and it had a Fender Precision.
And I said, where did you get that?
And they said, don't ask any questions. _
_ _ And they said, that's a bass, you [A] know.
That's great.
_ _ _ And we have Moe's Allison.
Moe's Allison.
That's jazz?
Yeah, that's jazz.
Your Mind Is On Vocation, fantastic lyrics.
It's got your molecular structure in it.
_ If it weren't for Moe's Allison, there wouldn't have been The Who.
_ He's got a totally different kind of two-step groove.
_ Interesting.
When I went to see him, I really dug it, man.
Cool.
Okay, next we've got some of the Thin White Duke. _
I think this is a cool album for me.
He's got a city light suit on as well.
_ _ [D] _
It's got all this kind of [A] 60s stuff on [G] it.
So I dug all these [E] bands, but they're kind of, for the [A] time,
were modern versions [A] _ of it.
It's [G] quite an eclectic [E] mix.
Great band on it.
Did they see Emily play the Pink Floyd song?
The Pink Floyd [A] song, yeah.
That's incredible.
And [G] that's another album I would have [D] picked out if I could have found them.
[C] _ _
Now let me ask you [A] a quick question about Pink Floyd.
I don't want to, I mean, _ [D] this story, I don't [C] know if it's a legend or a story,
[A] forgive me if I'm getting it all wrong, _
how you guys or some of you guys [G] met.
One of you guys [D] was wearing [A] an [G] I Hate Pink Floyd T-shirt.
[Em] Yeah, it was a T-shirt that Johnny Rotten had [A] made.
Well, he, [A] okay, now [G] see, this begs a question.
[E]
He had a T-shirt that had Pink Floyd on [E] it that _ he'd written over the top, I [Am] hate.
But he had the [D] T-shirt in the first place.
But then [C] Paul Copper was wearing it one [A] day,
and we were collectively walking down the road from our little [D] rehearsal place,
_ a place [C] called, _ it's like [A] _ England's Tin Pan Alley, Denmark Street.
_ And as we were walking down the street, [C] this copper stopped Paul and said,
hey, _ [A] he's trying to start trouble just for wearing a T-shirt in the [G] street.
And I was like, wow, you [E] know.
_ [G] _
_ _ [A] But it was funny because I, _ _
tail end of the summer I went to some kind of do, _
the Velvet Literary [D] Festival, very _ [A] _
_ [G] la-di-da,
and there were people talking about their [E] books during the afternoon.
And [D] _ I played with my [E] band in the evening,
[G] and Billy Bragg played the next night, somebody else. _
_ _ [Em] And at _ [A] my set, _ _ [B] I _ _ [D] _
played Gilmore [C] and his Mrs.
were [F] dancing [Am] and singing along to Pretty Vapid, which was no mean feat.
But then [A] afterwards we were chatting, and this [C] young lady I was with,
[A]
I overheard him saying to her, who didn't [D] really understand the connection,
[C] and I know Dave a little bit, he used [A] to live near me,
he was saying to her, well, the thing is, Debra,
is that _ [G] Glenn used to have a [E] band, _
and they had a T-shirt from my band with,
I hate, written over the top in magic mark.
And he was kind of indignant, but seeing the funny side at the same time.
_ _ Another one from the Thin White Duke, I don't know if that's apropos to [A] Colm still.
Yeah, well, Thin White Duke, I don't really know him as that.
I _ think that was one of his, not lame of careers, but the least happening ones.
But I think this is one of the _ _ most _ _ _ _ _ progressive rock albums ever made.
_ Guitar playing on it is [G] fantastic.
_ [A] He made four albums around about this period, _
two with David Barty and two with Iggy.
Lost [E] for Life, Immediate, Heroes and [G] Low.
It's just such a fantastic body of work.
Were you a fan of prog [F] rock?
I know a couple of you guys liked it, I remember [D] reading about [C] that.
I was aware of it. _ _ _ _ _ _
I like Pictures [G#m] at an Exhibition by [C] Emerson, Layton, Palmer in very small doses.
Okay.
_ _ I quite like Early Deep Purple.
[G] In [C] fact, one of my favourite songs is Hush, with Tommy [F] Bowling singing it.
That's incredible.
I [C] mean, you have _ _ the Walker [F] Brothers.
[G] Well, the Walker Brothers.
Kurt Walker.
I don't want to say [F] the same old thing.
I really like Scott Walker's, _ [C] Scott Walker's thing, Jack [C] Burrell album. _ _
He kind of got me into Jack Burrell, because it's hard to get [G] into him if you don't speak French.
But there's a connection here with that and that stuff.
I mean, Scott Walker's gone very out of his guard these days.
So it all kind of links together, _ somehow.
Excellent.
Well, Glenn, _ _ we'll close it out on the Walker Brothers, Scott Walker.
Yeah.
One of [F] my all-time favourite songs at [E] the moment is a song called Montague [C] Terrace by him.
The lyrics are great.
It's like _ _ Scott Walker trying to do a Jack Burrell kind of thing, and he succeeded.
_ [A] _
[Dm] Incredible.
So, it's got quite [E] eclectic tastes.
You can mix it [D] all up.
Great selection.
[E] If you're too narrow with things, you end [D] up with very narrow music.
_ [E]
No, it's a [Dm] great selection.
Thank you.
You know, I could spend [G] ages here, you know.
Loads and loads.
Glenn, thank you very much for doing this. My pleasure.
And we hope to see you soon.
Yep, okay.
