There are a few posts on this thread which have made me scratch my head, but this one is just bizarre.John McGeoch - magazine and banshees.
thats true amongst musos and music nerds - but a lot more people know Budgie, Steven Severin and Siouxie or Howard Devoto but have never heard of McGeoch. I wasnt really aware of him until recent years - depsite growing up with the music and really rating the guitar playing in magazine and his era of the banshees (didnt even know it was the same person).There are a few posts on this thread which have made me scratch my head, but this one is just bizarre.
McGeoch was widely recognised as a great guitarist at the time, and is now one of the most celebrated of his generation.
Fair enough. I wouldn't consider myself either a muso or a music nerd, but I'm aware of how well regarded McGeoch was/is as a guitarist among both his peers and those who came after.thats true amongst musos and music nerds - but a lot more people know Budgie, Steven Severin and Siouxie or Howard Devoto but have never heard of McGeoch.

Two examples off the top of my head - Siouxsie is on record as saying he was the best guitarist the Banshees ever had, and Johnny Marr was/is a huge fan.
He was the spirit of the band, or at least the bands spirt animal. Right from the start it's what the audience and journalists latched onto. He certainly contributed to their success and arguably their musical direction with his influence.
Aye, he was like the cox in a rowing team.He was the spirit of the band, or at least the bands spirt animal. Right from the start it's what the audience and journalists latched onto. He certainly contributed to their success and arguably their musical direction with his influence.
I think it's quite right to say that his role in the band was underrated.
When I was a teen heading out to watch the Happy Mondays, it was Bez & Shaun people wanted to see. Not the other static band mates. Bez set the pace and groove.
I sound like I'm a fan boy. I'm not. I liked a couple of early singles and two or three tracks off the second album. I think Bez and his dance drugs setting the pace and groove took them into a quite objectionable direction. . . . . But the people seemed to love it. Same as always.
Ignorant nonsense. He wrote, produced and sang. One of the most influential artists in the history of funk.What did George Clinton do apart from toast? He was kind of a Bez, but more of a leader than Bez was
It’s not ignorant nonsense. I wasn’t criticising him. He’s a genius. He didn’t really play any instruments, but he provided direction and vibes on stage, hence the comparison with BezIgnorant nonsense. He wrote, produced and sang. One of the most influential artists in the history of funk.
Sorry, no. If you had said Paul Rutherford, would agree. But GC is nothing like Bez. Not underrated at all.It’s not ignorant nonsense. I wasn’t criticising him. He’s a genius. He didn’t really play any instruments, but he provided direction and vibes on stage, hence the comparison with Bez
I didn’t say he was underrated. I was just commenting on his stage presence, which is similar to Bez’s in the way ATOMIC SUPLEX describedSorry, no. If you had said Paul Rutherford, would agree. But GC is nothing like Bez. Not underrated at all.
Good analogy.Aye, he was like the cox in a rowing team.
