Paul Gilbert Ruined My Day
Paul Gilbert Rains on the Goldeneye Parade
Funny WoE should mention Paul Gilbert in the last post:
Phone call:
-
LB: Joe Satriani is touring the UK
Me: Oh yeah
LB: Guess who is supporting him
Me: Dunno
LB: Paul Gilbert ! I’ll bet they play Nottingham Rock City
Me: They’re bound to - I’m there dude - awesome \m/
You beauty, one ticket to shred guitar heaven please. Hopefully Solid Entertainment will have tickets and lay a coach on.
Just like old times.
Your host goes to Google rubbing his little paws together to check on the tour dates.
Google pulls a blinder and gives me the 2004 tour dates as the #1 match.
A few clicks around the site and I get all the European tour dates.
Scanning the list … look…. scan … look again…
Bugger … no hang on … Nottingham May 21st 2008 - Super Awesome
Then what do I notice on Joe Satriani’s website ?
All UK shows (except Nottingham) have Paul Gilbert opening.
What a gyp - bugger bloody Joe and bugger bloody Nottingham !
Time for a gargle !

Rod,
This would be an ideal opportunity to get out of the county beyond Nottingham… make the most of it and book Manchester, stay over and take in a spot of shopping and dare we say art gallery?

FF,
you’re quite right, I was naive, experience should have told me to know better

stay over in Manchester - I would but when they outlawed handguns I had to hand mine in making trips to Manchester no longer viable

Rod,
You must live on the wild side…. we certainly have never required a weapon in the Corn Exchange, and anyway you’ll have LB by your side as a minder
Could be that we might have to rethink your concert agenda to avoid skirmishes… how about tea in the Pump Room in Bath?
Anyway if you do end up going, the Witches will insist you wear a Joe Satriani black knitted hat, it’ll suit you (keep out the cold etc). We’ll send you off with a packed lunch and tell you to play nicely with the other rockers…

p.s. don’t forget ear protectors

I think I’ll give the whole idea up, stay at home and listen to The Archers on the wireless with a mug of Ovaltine !

You really are a hopeless case aren’t you?
You want to go see these two guitar legends and heros of yours really bad, but won’t travel.
For God’s sake man, give yourself a knock on the head! Just book the ticket and go.
Myself and the rest of your site don’t want to hear you moaning all throughout 2008 about what a chance you missed and should have done it!
Regrets, you can’t take them back you know!

Jordan,
Well said. Can you believe it, a chance for him to get out and enjoy himself and see whether Joe and Paul can fit into size 10 jeans … the three of them united at last!
The old chestnut of ‘I always get into trouble when I’m out of Lincolnshire’ is about to be cried again, prepare yourself…

Yes, absolutely !

I’ll make it my new years resolution not to
Regrets, you can’t take them back you know!
Tell me about it !

Wearing the size 10s today, they feel a little slack around the waist, I had to pull them up when bending down to get wine in Sainsburys !

It’s not so much that, but the bracelet I have to wear on my ankle beeps like mad when I leave the county

Rod,
Size 10s: that’ll be the lycra
Old chestnut: ankle bracelets, beeping…. we heard your custodial sentence had wiped the slate clean as it were, a verdict of sartorially out of the question pleaded
WoE ~ grateful that gougere the size of a hacksaw are no longer required…

my sartorial pleas to the judge fell on deaf ears, as did the request for the return of my telescope, video camera and hidden spy camera located in the toe of my specially made shoe

Rod,
Are we talking John Lobb for the specially made shoe? Partly we see you in the bespoke 007 suits and JLs, and partly hot rockin’ gear/lifestyle. It is both confusing and eccentrically appealing ~ and folk say the Witches are mad
All that is required to improve your general appeal is to get you out of Lincolnshire occasionally (and quit smoking). Let’s face it two very simple things. We on the other hand might have to equal that by giving up parts of our own sumptuous lifestyle and stay inside Lincolnshire a good deal more
Should we meet at the crossroads, we’ll be the ones in pointy hats with a cardboard cutout of DC under one arm and a box of low cal gougere under the other… you’ll be the one in the Paul Gilbert poncho that you bought from the 2008 UK tour…
