The Wildhearts

Good day...

Does anyone know what introduction music is playing just before the Wildies come on stage on this tour? It is a most excellent piece of work!

i meant to ask this and forgot to lets see what answers we get

Ean you any ideas on this ?

Not a clue mate. To be honest I wasn't paying much attention to the intro music, was still trying to get my position (Front and centre, the tiny gap between Stuart B. (didn't realise it was you at the time, else I'd have said hi - I'm the short bald guy ) and the girl to his left) at Wolvo, and I don't remember them playing it at KOKO. Can't really even remember what it sounded like now.

Sounds like something for Ask Ginger, or alternatively, as the tour's not ended yet, someone could grab Hot Steve/Dunc/the guy on the sound desk/any other loitering road crew type and ask them...?

How anal will Ginger think we are asking that

That was you? Like you say, didn't know it was you or would certainly have said hello. Remember us agreeing that one day Ginger's intro to Headfuck will turn into Schizophonic. Also remember you being VERY determined to get into that gap. Hehe, glad you made it in there, mate!

I remember grooving to the intro music but my attention was focussed on when the band would be coming out.

I hadn't realised it was you until I read your LiST post about wearing a Teenage Fanclub shirt. Fingers crossed, it can't always be Headfuck...

I'd spotted the gap, and was slowly working my way in when somebody behind me decided to speed the process up a bit and pretty much ran into the back of me. It's a knack really - did it in London and ended up next to Trudi's other half - it's the one upside of having lower arms like Popeye...

Ginger said that they fucked up the intro tape last night.

Personally, I dunno where

Maybe cos I'd never heard it before

Or more likely cos I was on the verge of being pissed by that time!!!

I did pick up on the fact that, with the greatest respect, you are built like a short, brick shithouse. Let's say I definitely noticed you trying to come in. I think that same somebody went into the back of me during one of the surges forward. I felt my back crack but instead of the pain I was expecting it felt like he'd pushed something back where it should be. A great gig and orthopaedic treatment. Magnificent!

Nope, that pretty much covers it...

It was pretty mental all night (London was packed, but the heaving eased off about half way through), I spent half the set trying to make a gap for the cute girl behind me to squeeze into, but she disappeared just before the encores

They played the intro again in Glasgow last night and had I actually read this topic - I might of got the idea of asking the guy at the mixing desk! Did want any spoilers tho' so I've keeping out of danger on the threads! To me it sounds like the WHs recorded their own intro, maybe an extra bonus b-side .... it's not on the Japanese album CD.... sounded great for an intro tho'.

Just before the intro music they played Richard Cheese's version of the Van Halen classic Jump - which is abso-fucking-lootely fabulous.

Richard Cheese? Who he?
Could be wrong, but I thought it was that old American crooner's swing version of it that was around last year, he was on all the crap chat shows. Paul Anka was it? Or someone of that ilk.

Maybe.

I thought it was Paul Anka too. Richard Cheese basically 'Paul Anka's great rock choons, only better. He's great to chill out to the morning after - check out his myspaz, and if you listen to nothing else, listen to Closer. I'm sure Zo or Dingwall could provide a definitive answer though, they seemed to have a fairly expansive collection last time I was there?

Indeed. Richard Cheese's version of Slipknot's People = Shit, and Nirvana's Rape Me has to be heard to be believed.

Reports that he's going to do his own take on Endless, Nameless are confirmed at this present time......ha ha.
