Didnt no much about the guy before who supported Journey. Only one or two of the songs. Little did I know he sang the Gillete theme tune.

He plays an acoustic version of the whole song, and here it is

I really, really love it.

There was a about of near hysterics in Glasgow when he played this, however he was superb....well I thought so! I had a smashing video of Naughty, Naughty..only for security to tell me to remove my Journey footage..and the John Parr stuff too.

Here's hoping he records an acoustic album.

It was a bit surreall when everyone started giggling eh? I thought he was excellent tho - when he wandered out and said " Hallo, i am billed as no support!".

Everyone was looking either puzzled or amused at Hammersmith too. I wish he'd just made a joke of it - and it's strange he didn't because his whole set had this self-deprecating humour about it...except during this song.

He's an extremely talented and entertaining guy...but I had to laugh myself when he started playing this. Jesus, the royalities for this must have been almost as much as from 'his greatest hit'. :)

I'd certainly go and see him if he decided to tour. The album with 'Naughty, Naughty' is a decent listen it must be said, and he's a smashing singer to boot.

Aye, i would go see him - he came across as a likeable bloke - and his voice was still strong - would like to hear "Elmo" with a band - as well as naughty naughty of course....
