Squeeze at the Artists Den

[@Cat-pb9dv]

Squeeze's songs tell all our stories: our loves, our losses, our regrets, our dreams...loved their music then, love them more today

[@williemammoth11]

Squeeze has always been criminally under-rated as a band and as musicians!

[@drssexy2142]

there have always been wankers going around saying everything is underrated.

[@thefoxhole2232]

I couldn't agree with you more!

[@darrylwiggins4799]

Only to the criminally underrated.

[@AlanBurge]

I never understood why they weren’t bigger than they were. Best Songwriters of the 80s.

[@LoriLuby-dp3yb]

I don't know how I didn't ever listen to the until about 3 months ago

[@SpongDA]

Age seems to have missed Glenn's voice. He sounds exactly as he did 40 years ago. Top bloke and top band.

[@Nessus07]

Yes, that's what I say to my wife, Glenn sounds the same as decades ago.

[@pambloom_white2050]

Tilbrook is also one of the most under rated lead guitar players in the history of pop music.

[@oskarvikstrom229]

agree

[@ELstudioproductions1]

👎🏻

[@CarlinConnolly]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@christianbriancon108]

Glenn Tilbrook is the most underrated British songwriter (with Diffords lyrics) of the last 30 years. And he's an unbelievable guitarist... check out him playing Voodoo chile

[@stuartcarden1371]

Agreed! It was hard for that next generation of songwriters to get their recognition in the same way. Paul Heaton is another guy who was massively underrated.

[@lowrystone4306]

Totally agree…saw them Monday…jaw dropping ❤️❤️❤️

[@kennethpalmer7790]

No doubt. I never realized just how good Sqweeze is until hearing this whole thing out. I was just showing one of my online flirts "Black Coffee in Bed".

Blimey. Feeling my age watching this. What a wonderful British band Squeeze are. Deserve to be up there with the Beatles, the Stones and the Kinks. I first saw them live, on the "argy bargy" tour in 1980, at the Liverpool students union, Mountford Hall. I stood really close to the front, and was astonished at how great a guitarist Glen Tilbrook was/is. He simply didn't look wt what his fretting hand was doing during solo's. Even Hendrix couldn't do that! He inspired me to buy my first guitar and learn. I now have 4 guitars, and a bass, and I'm still crap. Love Squeeze.

[@soysaucefool]

It's super crisp, clean playing

[@bloomintokyoseoul]

Tilbrook IS a great guitarist, no doubt....but no way you can put him above Hendrix, that's going a bit too far.

[@Grahamt978]

Ooh the memories, 90’s were iconic

[@hoover2501]

@@bloomintokyoseoul If you've never really seen this guy play all out, I wouldn't discount him being just as good as Hendricks. He's that good

[@bloomintokyoseoul]

@@hoover2501 I said he's good, just that it may be a bit much (and misguided; they're playing different types of music after all) to say he's better than Jimi.

[@fredmuller7400]

I don’t think many Americans realize how great great great songwriters they are you can name like 25 songs right off the bat not exaggerating

[@deanwishart9981]

They toured Australia in around 79 or 80. They were known here as UK SQUEEZE. I went to see them at a pub venue, sticky carpet, a few hundred people, purely on the back of Cool for Cats. I was blown away by them. It’s a rare band that you see knowing only 1 song and love the entire gig which makes you desperate to buy their record. 🎸❣️🎼

[@williambain7900]

Same. Convinced my mates to come along. Fantastic memory 😎

[@tonybevel5282]

What can you say about these wonderful people who have given so much pleasure to millions over the years with their superb musicianship and fantastic songs. Wasted on a wooden audience who remained mostly static throughout. Difford and Tillbrook are Lennon and McCartney Mark 2. Totally original and nobody has their song writing ability. Brilliant, just brilliant. Thanks for perfection.

[@fredmuller7400]

😢😢😢 Lennon McCartney of 70,80,90, 00,10,20s want to see them every time never get tired of watching them God bless them n all their families n fans

[@jonathansteadman7935]

Underated is an overused term on KZbin but Glen Tilbrook is one fine guitarist and his lead breaks always do the songs justice. Squeeze aren't underated, we all know how excellent they are.

[@juliuscepeda9655]

Exactly, those who know Squeeze know how talented they are. I do feel, however, Squeeze is under appreciated. That’s why they aren’t in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame when they truly deserve to be.

[@drssexy2142]

finally, someone who understands that it's a physical impossibility for everythng to be underrated while nothing is seemingly overrated.
