Last
Saturday there was a plethora of things to do if you were in London; The Jim
Jones Revue’s final gig at the Forum with the last remaining Heartbreaker, not
counting Richard Hell, Walter Lure in support. Ian Hunter at the Shepherds Bush
Empire, The Black Veil Brides at Brixton Academy, The Supersuckers at the
Islington Academy, Finntroll up at The Dome in Tufnell Park and not forgetting
the AC/DC video shoot.
For
me it was always going to be the self-proclaimed “Greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll Band
In The World” the Supersuckers. Having not seen them for about 3 years how
could I say no? (Also I wasn’t invited to the AC/DC shoot and had already
purchased my Supersuckers Ticket before Walter had been added to the JJR bill.)
As for the others…….
The
Supersuckers delivered, coming on to ZZ Top with covers from Depeche Mode and Thin Lizzy with Van Halen as an outro I
felt sorry for those who weren’t in attendance. Good job they can listen to it
right here, right now.
