The theme today is "Girls with guitars"
Not necessarily playing them, you'll notice.
Rain - XXX (Italy 2011)
I was ever so disappointed when I found out this band 's lead singer isn't a 6 foot tall, tattooed redhead
who can drink you under the table, win a bar fight then get on stage and rock like a beast.

All that aside, they aren't bad. If you like Old-school metal have a listen to this.
Elikat - Electrikat (Spain 1990)
I've just noticed that there seems to be steam coming off the guitar.
I don't think I want to know...
Pleaser - One Night In Paradise (Brazil 2013)
Quickly followed by
"Oh shiiiiiiiiiii..." when she reaches the end and discovers that she's still 7 storeys up.
Luckily she's an angel - sort of - so the fall won't hurt but it will mess up her vinyl trousers.
Axident Avenue - Shaken And Disturbed (Norway 2010)
One of those bands that keeps hoping a wormhole will open up back to Sunset Strip in 1990 so they can go home.
I rather like the cover. Not a technical masterpiece but it has a definite charm.
Here's what they sound like.
Break Out (?)
I found this cover somewhere but have no idea where. If anybody has any details, please drop me a line.
Surely falling off would be an issue?
Lions Breed - Damn The Night (Germany 1985)
"Err...Of course I don't honey."
"Then why's it in our bed. On my side?"
"Um... It's a cold night?"
"I bet you'd have sex with it if you could?"
"Don't be silly. That messes up the strings and then you can never get the tone right....Why are you looking at me like that?"
Loud N Clear - Playing With Thunder (Israel 2012)
Ripping them in half with lightning is proof that you may be eligible to join the X-Men.
Here's what they sound like.
That's all folks.
Big D, you have left me awestruck and it's not just the guitars or the ladies wielding them, or flying through the space with them, or my favourite of the lot: Lions Breed —Damn the Night!, it's your cracking commentary that spices up the covers!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much.
DeleteLove the EliKat cover-simple and classy. Lion's Breed also appeals to me for the exact opposite reason. As always, I enjoyed your witty commentary.
ReplyDeleteThe Elikat cover is one I rather like too. It's elegant enough to fit into a gallery, methinks.
ReplyDeleteIs that steam coming out of Elikat's guitar or something more viscous? I don't think I want to know, either. Other than that, I like Elikat the best...it's the most anatomically refined artwork of the bunch.
ReplyDeleteAnd now I'm getting all sorts of disturbing mental images....
DeleteGuitars? Really? Mmm...oh yes...so there were.
ReplyDeleteTasteful as always BigD.
Cheers, ic
In a few cases the guitars are obviously just a prop. I'm cool with that.
DeleteAnd I do try to post stuff that's tasteful. Or at least not too tacky.
Cheers old chap.
