The Pirates--proof it was a straight line from rockabilly to punk.
@TheAandEband9 ай бұрын
I saw them opening, frequently, for psychobilly acts in the early 80's. My parents enthused about them when they opened for Chuck Berry in London circa 1979. I was a big fan. Mates at school dissed them for being old (in their 40's). I'm 56 now, still laying down bass for my punk band. This lot were the originators, and finest, of British R&R at its best
@bokehintheussr50333 ай бұрын
Right on. There was only 20 years between Rockabilly and punk. 20 years is nothing. Guys that started playing skiffle and rockabilly in their teens were only in their 30s by the time punk happened. It's exactly the same music. It just went underground during the whole psychedelic-progressive thing, then went mainstream again when the drugs wore off.

My band opened for Johnny Kidd and the Pirates in the mid sixties with THIS Pirates lineup. They blew me away at the time. Fast forward to the seventies and I was once again playing opening act for them, minus Johnny Kidd of course. Mick Green was a HUGE influence on so many of us at the time and without him there would never have been a Wilko Johnson as we know him today. Both great players but Mick was the master in this genre.

Thomas was a train, and HE wasnt lonely, although the other engines did pick on him. He also had a fat controller, so best we cancel that sort of fat-shaming un-inclusivity. Ima gunna pretend that the train is lonely, just to rock along with the song, its ok.

This guitar solo is in the top 10 of the greatest 15 seconds ever of rock n roll. Ever. It starts at 1:21 and just gets better for the entire 15 secs, but the sound he makes his guitar make at 1:31 is distilled 99% pure rock n roll. Ever.
@jacobblumin4260 Жыл бұрын
I agree! That solo is pure talent and a joy to listen to. Very few people can make a guitar sound like that. Reminds me of Stevie Ray Vaughn--both Stevie and Mick are guitar gods. Mick and the Pirates are a sad reminder that sometimes superior talents, even with hard work, do not break into the really big time. I never heard of this group until a couple of months ago.

Incredible performance , 32 year old Mick Green totally in control with Johnny and Frank on board. I'm proud to have been one of the blokes down the front at their gigs. Emotional and Powerful stuff.

1977 was UK punk time. Punk started quite before, between Detroit, Akron and NYC, back in the early 70's. And this cover from The Pirats of the 1956 Johnny Burnett song is not "punk" per say, but it has the energy of Rock n Roll, and that's ageless... Punk helped re-energize rock, and that's a lot...

Mick said have you got an amp, disregarded my vox ac30 and opted for the basspayer,s hh transistor 100watt.I remember he just plugged in ,used one hand movement to roll all available knobs to maximum and just laid into the first intro at blistering volume .This was at the rock garden and the acoustics made this small concrete space only amplify this effect.
