Tyketto-Standing Alone

[MartyMoffatt]

Of course, now that I have said this, I get to blow all credibility with most posters and mention that I always thought Danny Bowes of Thunder would be a perfect replacement for Barnes in Cold Chisel--not that it would have the slightest chance in happening, of course.

I would hope not. Danny Bowes is a perfect foil for Luke Morley's songwriting in Thunder, and Thunder are a British National Treasure.

I saw Tyketto last night in Dudley. All members of the band, new and old, were on fine form. They always sound much heavier live than on record.

Afterwards the whole band came out and spent ages meeting and chatting to fans.

Oh, I agree that breaking up Thunder would be a crime--much akin to pulling Bob Catley away from Magnum. VERY underrated band, and neither Danny nor Luke get nearly the respect that they should. One can only hope that Danny's vague mention of Thunder hitting the US in the future comes to pass. Barnes showed up, but hit the wrong side of the continent, and I'm not going to NYC just to see him make a guest spot with the Adelaide Orchestra.

Still, if I was a manager of a band Barnes was in (ie Cold Chisel) and needed a new singer, Danny would be high on the list.

Can't find an actual promo video for this one, but this deserves to be right up there among their best:

Ooo, look! There's Brooke way off the right.

P.S. For Pam, did they stick Jimi in the back for all 3 shows? Seems kind of sucky that an original member gets shoved to the back for 2 newcomers.

Debbie, Jimi did stand in the background most of the time at all 3 shows. I think he likes it back there, he seems so shy and rarely smiles but I talked to him and he was friendlier than I thought he would be.

One of my favorites from them and my favorite video of theirs:

We miss you, Brooke!!!

P.S. I forgot what a hairball Michael used to be! (I still love ya, Michael.)

man seeing that reminded me exactly what was missing last weekend..........harmonies and ass kicking guitar at least the music has stood the test of time.
