Ginger: That loveable lunatic from Newcastle, best known for fronting The Wildhearts with honorable mentions for his solo work, Clam Abuse, Silverginer 5, and Supershit 666; Writer of some of the best riffs of all time; all round great guy. We all love him.

Unfortuantely for him his life seems to have turned from **** to worse. And then went on a bit of a decline :( For the full story click here (http://www.thewildhearts.com/cgi-bin/gingersays_full.cgi?issueno=051).

The saving grace of this story is that Ginger has written enough new material to record another solo album, and started recording it in the 22nd of this Month. This new material is apparently his "best work to date" :)

So, in this thread we highly anticipate Ginger's new release and generally discuss anything Ginger related (again).

I wonder what effect this his current situation will have on the accoustic dates that he announced :-/

The Accoustic Dates for those that missed them:
June
Fri 17 - Rugeley Rose
Sat 18 - Glasgow Barfly
Sun 19 - Newcastle Archer
Mon 20 - Wrexham Talbot
Tue 21 - Manchester Dry Bar
Wed 22 - Leeds Joseph's Well
Thu 23 - Liverpool Barfly
Fri 24 - London Barfly
Sat 25 - London Barfly
Mon 27 - Southampton Joiners
Tue 28 - Plymouth Phoenix
Wed 29 - St Albans Horn
Thu 30 - Wolves Civic

July
Fri 1 - Hull Adelphi
Sat 2 - Nottingham Rock City

I will be there :cool:

This is a post in munky's thread because he needs to continue to make threads.

I don't know anything about this guy, though, considering I'm on the other side of the pond from you.

I'll read that article, though :)

I'll also expect a concert review after you attend.

05-23-2005, 11:03 AM
I'll upload some stuff from each of his projects for you to check out at your leisure.
But basically he's a good guy, writes great music and has a great sense of humour.

Oh my, I just read the article, The poor guy : / I can't wait to listen to this new material he has wrote, it will be interesting to see what all of this has done to his songwriting.

munky_magik
05-23-2005, 11:27 AM
I don't think he's actually capable of writing a bad song. We'll have to wait and see, I guess.

Ginger - Motorvate (http://s38.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1UGZYZRWJABDG1YGB0JZHGV683) An original Ginger song, but performed live with Silver Ginger 5. This is taken from the second disk of Silverginger 5's Black Leather Mojo. Great song, and is excellent live.

Silverginger 5 - Anyway But Maybe (http://s45.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1HW16U45SEOXP0PJAZLBWQ3W55) Taken from the first disc of Silverginger 5's Black Leather Mojo. Silverginger 5 are one of Ginger's side projects.

The Wildhearts - Lovesh*t (http://s47.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2A1ETLXXTB22I1PHE6R504M89Q) A classic track from The Wildhearts who were, until recently, Ginger's main commitment.

Supersh*t 666 - You Smell Canadian (http://s42.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=13603BP4NG3SD2S3QTK50QZLRG) Another of Ginger's side projects featuring members from The Hellacopters. Another really great track.

Clam Abuse - Message to Geri (http://s39.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0EB065UAIRYVS3M7269C4SI7S2)Another of Ginger's sideprojects. This time showcasing his wide style of writing ability.

^^^ Musically. From what I've heard (just a few song clips though) its basically hair metal produced in the 21st century

I wouldn't class them as hair metal.
And they've been around for over a decade.

Yeah, Ginger seems to have been having a pretty crappy time of it recently. I'm looking forward to the new album quite fantastically though, and to (finally) seeing one of his acoustic shows, on the 22nd. My tenancy runs out on the 24th, so it works out quite nicely. And as a result of being reminded that I'll hopefully be seeing him in a month or so, I'm actually listening to Grievous Acoustic Behaviour at the moment.

Hmm, I forgot about this...

Ginger has a new song up on myspace (http://www.myspace.com/silverginger), it's addictive as ****.

I've included the lyrics, for when the song gets stuck to your brain like gum and you need to sing along like Britney needs a husband...

I'm feelin' every feelin' I have to day
I wouldn't have it any other way
This is more than just a state of mind
It's something new, and I'm leaving you behind

I've been shaken, I've been shown,
I wrote the book of being alone
But they were meaningless, 'cause I've never seen the world like
this
No, I've never seen the world like this

Oh when the devil is trying to tempt me,
When there is not a single angel around
When the demons they sell me were guaranteed to pull me down
What in heaven or hell is ever gonna kill me now?

I've seen much more than I ever agreed to see, but if a lesson comes
easily,
Stands to reason, it'll be lost again, but not for me, I take my
lessons
seriously
Every man can make a mistake, for every discovery they make
They learn about falling down, how you get yourself above the
ground,
How you get yourself above the ground

Oh when the devil is trying to tempt me,
When there is not a single angel around
When the demons they sell me were guaranteed to pull me down
What in heaven or hell is ever gonna kill me now?

(Widdly Solo Bit)

Oh when the devil is trying to tempt me,
When there is not a single angel around
When the demons they sell me were guaranteed to pull me down
When I was feeling Tired and Empty, without a reason for me being
around
When a breakup would lift me from the hell which you lay me down
What in heaven or hell is ever gonna kill me now?

I could've sworn I read Ginger say somewhere that he'd never really heard much of the Pogues. Oh well, none of that list is particularly surprising, he's as much the sum of his influences as anyone.

Yeah so I finally got Valor del Corazon today; they texted me during the week to say it had finally arrived in. Listening for the first time now.

Bartender
03-31-2006, 06:42 PM
Yeah, I did. And it was so good, though I'm still not entirely sure who took Kirsty MacColl's part. Dropkick Murphys were good in support, too, and I even had some drunken guy trying to dance with me for most of the night.

Only problem worth mentioning is that it seemed a bit conspicuous, seeing them in an arena.

Dave de Sylvia
04-01-2006, 01:00 PM
Yeah I suppose it's a bit of an odd setting. In many ways they're suited to it though. Shane brought his mother on for FINY the first time I saw them, I think. Odd occasion.

This one looked a bit young to be his mother, I think. But then if I didn't know better I'd probably badly mis-estimate Shane's age, so maybe.

Hahaha, that's what SOP said earlier - and I laughed at the irony, since the only time he seems to write me is when he's a bit... shall we say... inebriated? Yes, that's a pretty safe term :)

Why expecting a whiny voice, incidentally?

I have no clue, to be honest. I guess I was expecting something poppy and light, but I was definitely surprised and proven wrong bigtime.

NP: Yeah Yeah Yeah

Just 'cuz I'm a guy, am I supposed to buy all of your bullshit?

You said you're gonna make it up to me, saying "Yeah, yeah, yeah!"

Hahahhaa. What a fun song. I'm glad I was sent some songs.

Wildhearts Update]Quite a bit of news from Ginger to report following the successful completion of the UK tour. Ginger has been in the studio from July 17th recording his new solo album (not to be confused with the next Ginger and the Sonic Circus album).

Says Ginger: "The album I'm recording is my new solo album. I don't want to reveal the title yet, just in case I change my mind. It will feature new drummer Denzel Pearson on drums, and Jon Poole (who else?) on Bass. Jase Edwards will be involved in production / engineering / recording as well as playing guitar. Tim Smith will be producing. Watch this space for more details on this, and the forthcoming Howling Willie Cunt album, 'World Of Filth'."

Ginger and the Sonic Circus hope to record a separate album this year, and Ginger has also mentioned the possibility of the Wildhearts starting work on a new record before the year is out.

2. When She Comes
3. Holiday
4. This Bed Is On Fire
5. Smile In Denial
6. Jake
7. The Night I Was Born Again
8. Why Can't You Be Normal All The Time
9. Can't Drink You Pretty
10. Save Me
11. Wendy You're Killing Me
12. Siberian Angel
Yay.

Geordie... isn't as good as I'd hoped. I like the sing-along for Geordie, though.

How's it sound, Bart? Ive only heard the song on myspace.

Bartender
01-22-2007, 04:52 PM
It's really, really good. Probably not a surprise coming from me, but I actually wasn't so sure it'd be all that great for various reasons. But it's really, thoroughly awesome, I think.

Tim Smith is all over it. I don't think there's anything quite as weird as a lot of Cardiacs stuff, and I don't know if you're a fan of Cardiacs, but his influence is all over the place, in a few of the better melodies as well as some of the general sound. There's huge variety in instrumentation; all the usual stuff, and then some piano and different types of percussion (steel drums, for example), but then there's harpsichord, mellotron, strings, synths, trumpet, sax, tubular bells, extra vocalists, etc (a lot of them played or arranged by Tim Smith). Not all on every track (thankfully), but at various points. For recurring musicians; well, Ginger's Ginger, and Smith's just plain talented at pretty much everything he does, but the drummer guy's about as good as he seemed to be on the unmastered "Black Windows", and Jon Poole gets several opportunities for some great bass, too.

I won't say anything particular about any track for now, as I think you really want to be discovering them all yourself (that is, if someone had spoiled several of my first listens of songs here, I'd be attempting to kick them in the throat right now). So just a couple of non-general notes. First, "Jake", despite being eight minutes long, with sentimental lyrics and strings all over it, still kicks *** and is loud. And, "Black Windows" may be the worst (least good) song here.

Now to muddle my way through www.hmv.co.jp to get their version.

munky_magik
02-21-2007, 08:39 PM
Yoni is awesome, agreed? Wonderfully poppy but I hope he he doesn't bring too much of it to the new Wildhearts record.
I should hopefully see the Wildhearts on the 4th and 8th in Glasgow and Manchester, respectively, assuming that my exam timetable doesn't mess that up. Hopefully they'll play the Carling festival as well so that I have a reason to go this year :)

Bartender
02-21-2007, 08:54 PM
I've no idea which I'll be going to. All the ones I have a chance of going to (Newcastle, Bradford, Glasgow - got a friend (one I introduced to the Wildhearts) at Edinburgh) seem to be inconveniently arranged. So I'm just going to have to wait and see.

Still liking _Yoni_ though, and it's got me looking forward to a hopefully less light Wildhearts album now.

Tickets to see The Wildhearts on May 4th. New album on April 23rd. Life is good :)

New single The Sweetest Song is out now, though this is a download only version. I think I shall try and get it now.

EDIT: I have the song. Opinion/YSI pending.

EDIT *2: http://download.yousendit.com/1C3784AE75F3A200 For those that want it.

Uh, It has heavy bits and poppy bits as promised. It just doesn't strike me as classic Wildhearts though. A good song and the poppy bits are catchy as **** and even though this song isn't supposed to feature on the album, it sort of strikes fear into me :(

EDIT *3: It's kinda growing on me. Curses. This chorus is really catchy.

Bartender
04-21-2007, 10:37 AM
I like it, yeah, the contrast between the verses and the chorus. I'm interested to see how different this version is from the album version.

I already have the album, but not in my hands and so haven't been able to listen to it yet. I pre-ordered it a while ago, and it arrived sometime earlier this week, but unfortunately it did so back in Newcastle. So I'm waiting for it to be posted down here, should get here around the actual release date, annoyingly. Really looking forward to hearing it, though. The List reaction so far has been, as ever, ridiculously positive. Which is predictable, but still has me excited.

Dave de Sylvia

What don't you like about it?

Dave de Sylvia
04-24-2007, 03:59 PM
It tries too hard to be an old Wildhearts album. The 9-minute songs are just painful, and Ginger's actually tipped over from stealing elements of other songs and making them better to just stealing the bad parts from bad tracks and doing nothing with them. I can't believe they've actually made an album so bad, I'd never have believed it possible.

Support:
G.U. Medicine - From what I could make out were a sort of rock/stoner rock type deal and sounded alright. Their mix was awful though so I couldn't really make out much. Other than they were loud.

Sign - Um. Bad. Frontman sounded/looked like a pre-pubescent girl and was irritating to say the least, as well as having some of the worst guitar solos ever. Though to be fair, they were entertainingly bad and a Youth Gone Wild cover earned them a few points.

Show:
Setlist as best I can remember it:
Vanilla Radio
Caffeine Bomb
TV Tan
Someone That Won't Let Me Go
Nexus Icon
The Revolution Will Be Televised
Top of the World
Everlone
Sick Of Drugs
Stormy in the North
The New Flesh

Rooting for the Bad Guy
I Wanna Go

They were so good. I was little apprehensive after hearing Geordie but they were spot on. Scott Sorry looked like he'd been in the band his entire life, the crowd was good, the sound was good, Ginger's banter was good and the band really looked to be enjoying themselves. Academy 2 is a tiny venue as well, which was cool. Even the new material sounded pretty awesome live.

Apparently there was a fight at some point, but I managed to miss it entirely, for a nice change. And t-shirts were only £10.00 each as well.

Was quite close to going to the after party but after looking at the queue we decided to go elsewhere.

I'm just happy to have seen them again :)

The only crap part of the gig was getting Id'd twice at the bar.

Pics for those that wish:

They look alot further away than we were. I'd say we were in spitting distance, for an adequately qualified spitter.

Good to know they were on form, though it sounds like a bit of a shame about the support. How'd the new stuff work out live?

I might still be seeing them on Monday, but unfortunately it's far from certain.

It went down pretty well, got a big response from the crowd. I think I would've preferred Bi-Polar or Slaughtered Authors instead of Revolution but then they would've had to cut out a few songs or so. The new stuff sounded pretty good though.

It's a bit of a weird setlist, really. Only one song from phuq and not as many from Earth vs as I would have liked. Even something from Endless would've been cool. At least OCD was there, which was awesome.

Don't suppose anyone else managed to catch Ginger & The Scorchers/CJ/God damn whores?

Nope, I've been spectacularly bad at making it to shows at all recently. How was it?

It was really, really good. Surprisingly <_<
Tiny venue, only about 100 people there.
The whores were great, and Mr Poole is rather a funny man.
CJ's vocals were a bit off, surprisingly. Dunno if he was just having an off night or if he just isn't used to being the frontman but either way it kinda took the gloss away from the album.
I've never heard any of the Scorcher's stuff but it was really quite good. The de-dreaded Ginger looked like he'd been playing with them all his life and was just really happy.

It was just a really fun night, especially with CJ and the likes joining Ginger on stage toward the end of the night.

A3 on Friday, and then hopefully their acoustic after show afterwards :)

The very same.

Cool. They have that one awesome song.

They have a few, apparently. Though I'm not sure if I just enjoyed them so much because it was something Ginger related.

I do believe I was thinking of White Lies:

That would be the same White Lies that The Wildhearts covered then.
I think they sound better with Ginger.

Dave de Sylvia
09-19-2007, 05:23 PM
Ah, I didn't know they covered it. What release is it on?

Bartender
09-19-2007, 06:04 PM
One of the Endless Nameless singles, I believe.

The only thing I know that's even kind of by them, I think, is "One Less Heartache", from one of Jason's solo albums, which has the Wildhearts playing on it. I've got a few sound files hidden somewhere of a live performance of it and a bit of banter between Ginger and (the ridiculously southern) Jason, too. But I don't know anything else.

So Ginger's new single has something old, something new and something special. Should be interesting...If anyone can actually get hold of it before the new year.

Gonna see The Wildhearts on the 19th Dec, anyway. Should be good judging by their last performance :)

Mine's pre-ordered, yeah, but lord knows when it will get to me. Apologies in advance for breaking the page, but since we can't mask links any more;

A bit out of the blue, for me at least. Amazon says late January, but I've heard people talking about it being out for Christmas (though again, no idea where they've got that from).

Dave de Sylvia

The single is out on Christmas Day. Or, in Ginger time, July.

Small chance, but anyone else manage to catch the recent solo tour?

Laika Dog decent suport.
Ginger great show, Valor stuff sounded great live and a nice airing for SG5 stuff.
