Are Glenn Tilbrook and Piers Morgan related? I see an uncanny resemblance. Having never met either man I can only hope he's a nicer man than PM seems. Plays a mean axe too!
I got talking to him after a Nick Harper gig at the 12 Bar Club in London many moons ago and he was an absolute gent. Quite a pissed gent, but a gent nonetheless. We nattered about Led Zeppelin mainly and other things rockular for ages... they had to kick us out eventually as the club was closing (or the beer had run out, I can't remember which). Top bloke, he really was.
And didn't they sound great in that clip? Time shall not wither them!
I remember Danny Baker talking about what an under-rated guitarist he is. Too true, some of the solos on Squeeze tunes, and his solo stuff are fantastic tuneful solos (lots of solos there). Great stuff.
I totally agree with you Mike! Tilbrook is, along with Lindsey Buckingham, THE most under-rated guitarist in the pantheon of pop. Check out his solo rendition of Voodoo Chile on YouTube. Stunning! Glenn's axe-work is a joy to behold.
but listening to "Black Coffee in Bed" on the Now Hear This CD this morning and reflecting on the broadly approving review of the new album (Spot The Difference) in the new issue, I was wondering what the point is? Beyond providing an improved income stream for messrs Difford and Tilbrook, why bother re-recording carbon copies of your old songs (even to the extent of getting Paul Carrack in to do "Tempted") - what's in it for *us*?
They are good
aren't they? Squeeze I mean - not iPads.
Very tenuous
Great performance though
Fanbloodytastic!!
My Squeeze is back!
Are Apple sponsoring them at all??

I can confirm that Glenn Tilbrook is an extremely nice man...
