Ginger

munky_magik · 05-23-2005, 09:53 AM

Ginger: That loveable lunatic from Newcastle, best known for fronting The Wildhearts with honorable mentions for his solo work, Clam Abuse, Silverginer 5, and Supers[font=]h[/font]it 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 s[font=]h[/font]it to worse. And then went on a bit of a decline

For the full story click [url=http://www.thewildhearts.com/cgi-bin/gingersays_full.cgi?issueno=051]here[/url].

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 :-/

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.

munky_magik · 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.

05-23-2005, 11:11 AM

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.

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

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

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

I am very tempted to go see them in Leeds

***superpeer*** · 05-23-2005, 11:47 AM

I quite like the Wildhearts, don't know about Ginger though.

Ali, people who like the Wildhearts like Therapy?, and vice versa it's a rule.

I know this. Feel free to shamlessly plug Therapy? in here as well. I pretty much made the thread to alert a few people about Ginger's new solo stuff.

I'm not out to start sh*t or anything, but isn't the wildhearts some wannabe 80's retro band?

I don't know, To me they are not, But its all a matter of opinion, why don't you listen to some of the links above and tell us what you think of them.

Which is?

munky_magik · 05-23-2005, 03:41 PM

Their musical style isn't exactly the same, but I guess they lived the same lifestyle with the drinking and drugs. If that's what you meant.

Arise II · 05-23-2005, 03:50 PM

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

munky_magik · 05-23-2005, 03:52 PM

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

Bartender · 05-23-2005, 04:38 PM

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.

munky_magik · 05-23-2005, 05:48 PM

My thread was actually useful

I just want to keep this alive until Grateful Dead see's it. Then it can slink off to some other dimension.
