Ginger tour: Acoustic or Electric?

[Sarc]

-i am aware that anyone who doesnt worship every single thing that ginger does is frowned upon on these pages---------

Thats not true in the slightest I've voiced my opinion quite a few times on not liking Inside Out and everyone else raves about that song and not once has someone knocked me for it, Dave, Ean, dont even think about it, same goes for Beautiful Me Beautiful You, I find that incredibly boring again no-ones knocked me for it (bollocks just dropped pizza down me top), I dont think it's the fact that there are people disagreeing about whats better acoustic or electric, at the end of the day they both have things the other doesnt have, its the aggression that seems to be creeping up, its only a matter of time before a bloody cyberknife fight starts so lets just put it to rest please, each type of show is good, so we're getting an acoustic tour now, who's to say we're not getting a full band tour a few months after this one if the WIldhearts havent taken up his time but I can gaurantee (i can do it but i cant spell it) that as soon as this acoustic tour has gone and a full band one comes around the majority of you naysayers out there will be pining for another acoustic tour.

DRAT!

Dave, Ean, dont even think about it,

Oh, you're no fun any more...

Acoustic shows are great. Where else would you get the chance to see Danny drink a pint of Randoms piss on stage?

That is unless you were in the bog and missed it

I thought the purpose of the forum was for discussion, not constant pissing and moaning about "why isnt Ginger doing enough to make ME happy?"

There's a distinct difference between discussion and constant negativity. Have the complainers stopped to think that maybe he's doing an acoustic tour because that's what HE wants? Maybe, just maybe, he enjoys doing them.

And please......lets not even start the whole "why isnt he doing enough to convert newcomers" crap. He's playing what makes him happy, and if you enjoy it he wants you along for the ride, if not, its your loss. I suspect at this point in his life he's way beyond trying to please everyone else first.

BINGO - my sentiments exactly..

plus, it's been a while since an acoustic gig. I miss all the drunken-crazy-bollocks. I can't actually remember the last acousti-bollox I went to.

Am getting very tired of people complaining all the time - like michelle says above - there's a difference between discussion and negativity. Discussion is good. Whingeing isnt.

over and out.

I didn't miss it. Was the most disturbing thing I've ever seen........

Although the impromptu jam with Jef, Hot Steve, Danny, RJP and Ginger shortly afterwards made up for it!!!

The most disturbing thing I saw that night was when you stuck your head thru our car window to give directions.

Gerraway Man!!

It was the start of a beautiful friendship!!!

You still coming to the Academy on Tuesday night??

[vanrad]

oops what have I started.... been away from board for a couple of days and there's cyber warfare.... not was intended.

My opinion is still if you're on here voicing an opinion you actually do give a shit and should not be seen as whinging or negative, hey we're all big one happy family that loves the music Ginger produces. Good luck to Ginger on the tour and see all the Glasgow goers there!

Wish it was electric though! :

Yup, see ya there.

ive seen gingers band play Yoni stuff live and it sounded ace-----Market Harbour for me is much superior and im convinced the band would really do a superb job on some of the material from MH live-----aw come on ginger man---it would be the icing on the cake after the release of this masterpiece!!

Two things: -

1. I don't think a 4 piece band could do justice to these songs but a gig at the Sage with a 14 piece ensemble and the band could certainly make it real.

2. Denzel is not playing with the Mission according to the website, it's Steve Spring or someone, and i don't remember him being with Sonic Circus either.

Anybody shed any light?

Steve was the original Sonic Circus drummer 'til his back went, that's when Denzil came along.

i can see what youre sayin andwah about the band/ensemble thing----but
i disagree mate------there is plenty material on Market Harbour which a 4 piece (especially ginger,jase,jon and denzel) could pull off live------ginger is not in the habit of playing too much new material at live shows (truth is i wish he was) ---but at the gig i saw him at on the Yoni tour the stuff from that album sounded even better live---and it was pretty complicated material to deliver live

[Andwah]

I too agree Shadow, there is enough new stuff to carry off with the four piece. I'd still love to see the Ensemble idea though.
He has sounded a little more into doing new stuff though, the last Wildhearts tour showed the same drive as when they toured for Anthem, back then they played loads of Endless Nameless tunes.

I had a text earlier telling me the Spies have split up, i've no further info but that does mean Dean's got half the local commitments he did have, i assume he's still going with the Flowers of Evil. Perhaps him and Ginge have sorted stuff out?
