Tempted by Slash and Myles Kennedy in Brum, something stopping me from pulling the trigger

I’m going to see Slash with the boy in Wembley but have you heard the latest Slash single? Doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence about the gig. I’m hoping it’s not going to end up being 90 mins of blues noodling 
.
Also if anyone out there likes Lacuna Coil I stupidly bought two tickets to the London gig and then discovered it clashes with my father in laws 80th birthday. Drop me a PM and you can have then for free rather than then going to waste.

Wurzles Sunday
Done some shows with them - they are brilliant. Great bunch of blokes - funny as hell.
Fast Show/Bristol
My head still hurts from laughing so hard.
A mixture of how the show came into being, some iconic sketches some new sketches and a touching tribute to Caroline Aherne.
Dave Angel (eco warrior) is not overly impressed by the new craft beers
‘if it’s over 6 quid and there’s a cartoon on the can, bin it’

Saw Happy Mondays, Inspiral Carpets and Stereo MC’s last night in Leeds. Real good 90’s throwback. All on top form.
some punk bands last night and Wurzles on Sunday
Age is a strange thing. I remember the Wurzel’s back in the late 70s and thinking they were ancient then. Were they really actually only in their 30s?
I spent last weekend at Bearded Theory with my daughter. I saw plenty of great new acts (new to me anyway) Bob Vylan, Wargasm, Lambrini Girls, Amyl and the Sniffers and loads more. There were some belting sets from some of the old guard too, highlights being Orbital, The Orb, Stereo MCs and Sleaford Mods. I spent a fair bit of time on the smaller tents (which probably explains the damn COVID I’m now in bed with) and saw some great up and coming acts.
Edit: also great sets from Therapy?, Beans on Toast and a really funny Ed Tudor Pole.
I then saw Robin Trower on Tuesday who played like we were back in the 70s. What an absolute virtuoso he still is.
I’m due to see Seasick Steve in Kingston on Thursday but keep an eye out for a couple of tickets up for grabs if I can’t shake this damn COVID.

Smashing Pumpkins and Weezer on Friday, can't wait
I saw the last ever UK gig of the Smashing Pumpkins in 2000. Clearly it wasn’t.
There probably ready for the "pension" tour
Good to hear Robin Tower has still got it. Was in good form in Cardiff ten years ago, but believed he had health issues
He looked really well and seemed to really enjoy ever second of it.
Are there any other guitarists who tour under their own name but don’t sing?
The bassist was very good actually, sounded just like the records from BITD

I know it uses less energy but I do miss the old incandescent stage lights. All these purples and blues look pretty crappy on stage, like when people first started using 1st gen LEDs in pins!
I’m at Pryzm in Kingston to see Seasick Steve tonight. Should be a good one as it’s a nice tight little venue. Much better than when I last saw him at Wembley Arena.
I guess he’d prefer Wembley though, lol.

God is that place still open
Lambrini Giris are from Brighton / been tearing up venues here for a few years .
Amy and The Sniffers are brilliant live. She is an absolute star . Saw them at last years Green Man , had to chuckle at the fruity language coming from them as families with small kids looked on
Snayx are another great up and coming Brighton band. It’s quite the hotbed of talent down there atm.Lambrini Giris are from Brighton / been tearing up venues here for a few years .

Totally missed your post, I was there on Friday as well, both played great sets, some interesting song choices by SP as well.
First saw ZZ Top in lower sixth 38 years ago at Bingley Hall in Stafford.
Back at Wembley Arena this week with my 19 year old son.
Still look and sound extactly the same ; absolutely superb.
Dusty Hill may have 'checked out' but he's still very much part of it all.
