Zal Cleminson's Sin' Dogs 'Armageddon Day' @ Cropredy Festival 10/08/19

[@greattunesking1]

Hello 10W70. Oh my lord. I love Zal Cleminson & Alex Harvey to death. Thank you so much for turning me on to this first song called "Armaggedon." All the best.

[@IOW70]

Thanks for commenting (there is a privately pressed CD 'Zal Cleminson's Sin' Dogs Vol 1 if you can find it, I haven't so far, but it is on Amazon Music). I just wish I had got to the end of the song before I had to change the batteries.

[@stevebell4763]

Fantastic guitarist, one of the greats

[@haraldtheyounger5504]

That old dog can still teach the young pretenders what rock is about.

[@paulwalker2777]

That guys still got it way to go Zal,👍🎸

[@jeniferallan6693]

In my opinion my favourite guitar player...that sound that comes from his guitar on the song Anthem....is just wow!

[@Veradoradehon]

What a great talent Zal is!!!!!

[@IOW70]

Thanks for commenting. It's a shame the Sin' Dogs split up, I hope Zal is out on the road again soon.I've posted more from this gig on my channel.

[@extremelydave]

I hadn't of Zal since the old days of Alex Harvey... he still rocks it hard.... way to go!!!!!

[@IOW70]

Thanks for commenting. On my channel, there's also a video from the same gig of Zal's Sin Dogs playing 'Faith Healer' an old fave of SAHB followers ('Stickman' is also a great number). I bought tickets to see him at another gig & sadly he disbanded the band a few weeks before it was due. A big shame the Sin Dogs album is hard to find but it is downloadable from Amazon (& possibly other sites) well worth a listen.

[@anthonypoulos1370]

Always been a big fan back to SAHB days!

[@rickanderton4406]

Hope I still rock like Zal when I'm his age, legendary guitarist who should've had greater recognition.

[@IOW70]

I agree. I would've loved to see Zal & Sin Dogs In an indoor venue, alas it's not to be.

[@phra1lphilmurray215]

I saw him in SAHB at a teacher's training college in '73 ish. He walked straight for the girls sitting cross-legged on the hall floor. They pushed themselves backwards to get away from his scary clown face and sinister, squealing notes. So funny.

[@dilltdog1158]

I was there, he was brilliant and he scared most of the crowd.

[@IOW70]

After seeing him/them I bought tickets to see him at Whitby Rocks where he was headlining, only to find the band had disbanded a while before, still, the upside was Ken Pustelnik's Groundhogs took over as headliners & played the whole of 'Thank Christ For The Bomb' (some videos on my channel) also added to the line up was The John Verity Band who were really good (video also on my channel along with Stray ). Thanks for commenting.

[@ellisvener5337]

As they should have!

[@BeefSupreme-vk9sz]

Absolute showman, so fun to watch for decades!!

[@IOW70]

Thanks for commenting. I wish this band was still active. He is now playing as 'Orphans of the Ash' with Willie McGonagle (2nd guitar in the Sin Dogs) & has an album 'Ellipsis' Please hit the subscribe button for more of my uploads of various genres & venues.

[@BeefSupreme-vk9sz]

@@IOW70 thanks, I will look forward to checking out his new stuff and your channel 🤘🤪🤘

[@timhancock6626]

I don't really like heavy metal much,( or steam punk or whatever ) but Zal Cleminson has always had technique, style, presence, showmanship and above all musicianship and I really don't understand why he is not a way bigger star. I've always enjoyed his work right back to the 70s.

[@IOW70]

Thanks for taking the time to comment. My channel has various genres of music, quality of sound & video does vary due to the prevailing conditions/venue & my position therein. I am getting better at holding still (my little Zoom q2hd does not have digital stabilisation, my Sony bridge camera does but the sound capture is not as good). Please subscribe to my channel if you haven't already. Thanks again for your comment.

[@craigfulmer5069]

I believe steam punk is decor. Lol. But thats ok.

[@JamesGower-ch5zj]

I agree with all you say. He was the key to SAHB and his guitar playing is phenomenal.

[@davidk6271]

Agreed. I like him a lot also.

[@maryreilly5092]

Exactly on point, you are, Sir! I'm literally scratching my head trying to understand why the whole Rock World isn't aware of Zal!!

[@markgilham2453]

Zal has this beautiful technique

[@krisscanlon4051]

Zal is truly a one off and welcome sight for this lad

[@michaelmewis4761]

too awesome for words..

[@robertwatson5104]

ZAl still got it going on

[@davelanciani-dimaensionx]

Zal with the SOLAR Guitar!!

[@ogrebattle22763]

Zal is an excellent guitarist...

[@blahblahoink]

Still rocking with style. Excellent behaviour.

[@IOW70]

Thanks for viewing & commenting. It is a real shame I didn't get the whole song (as I previously explained the batteries needed changing) I may have got it all if I hadn't recorded the drawn-out entrance by the band,but that's life.

[@RandyFricke]

Zal Cleminson: Legend!

[@IOW70]

Thanks for commenting. There's 6 more videos from Zal at Cropredy Festival on my channel. It was a shame the band split up before I got to see them play in a indoor venue, still at least I have these recordings to look back on. I do love the song 'Stickman' . This day that they were playing on was very windy, as you can see the stage back screen had to be partly lowered as the rigging was swaying so some recordings were affected because I had trouble seeing the small screen on my little Zoom 2q HD camera which caused me to ocassionally wander, the sound is reasonable especially through headphones.

[@ian38018a]

Cropredy audience wondering when Ralph MacTell will be on. 🙉🙉🙉🙉

[@juliusschwencke142]

..Zal..two heads are better than one, even if one is just hanging around.

[@ianmorton140]

Fantastic how the best guitarists play without moving fingers?

[@petemitchell8884]

Still zalling!..luv it..

[@mrmustard174]

Wish he still played that sg

[@richardcoreno]

Zalvation!

[@wataboutya9310]

I have often wondered if the lads from Kiss got their face make up ideas from seeing Zal back in the day.

[@CS_Murphy_R9]

Well I guess we now know who was the real metal head in Alex Harvey's band😁

[@smitbar11]

I saw these at a tiny venue in "Grimsby" and man, is "Grimsby" GRIM!. They were great but there were only a few in the venue, Zal and the band must have been disappointed! I understand they have fallen out and he has (yet again) retired..? I did see Alex Harvey in 1981 at Nottingham Rock City, alas not the SAHB!

[@dougiemcbriar1998]

Great stuff

[@IOW70]

I wish I had realised they would take so long to appear on stage, then the batteries would've held out to the song's end. It's a shame the band broke up. More uploads from this gig on this channel. Thanks for commenting.

[@bwanadave76]

The reason the Romans built Hadrian's Wall.... it was originally Zal's Wall!

[@druidenfuss8870]

Quatschkopf

[@druidenfuss8870]

Mummenschantz !

[@mukhumor]

Rock on Zal.

[@jaykay5580]

is this spinal tap?

[@heraldeventsandfilms5970]

Unfunny prick.

[@PhillRobinson]

Oh dear.

[@redingtonbee]

Is it Clemison or Cleminson? I thought I saw Clemison on a SAHB album I own.

[@IOW70]

. I've always known him as Zal Cleminson. Which is correct, if you saw different on an album it's a misprint..

[@douglasdaggart5444]

Je suis lez vibrations ridiculique non?

[@DennisDaley-s9g]

The whole show looks like improve. Unrehearsed just wing it.

[@ggaa111100]

Zal showing yet again that he's a leader not a follower.
