a Fireman ONLY gig what are the chances?!

Now, that would be somethin!! Here's a clue for you all.. Thanx, MPL for the link to "Paul McCartney to play Fireman Live"

Even IF this was only to be rumour, why not? Can you imagine, Maaca & the boys doing an all out rockin jam session? all Fireman stuff, with other obscure music snuck for good measure - for Macca's die hard fans- pleasure?. I could see it!! This is the type of gig I have hoped for. Don't worry bout the audience! Just do it Big Mac!

snippet:

Speaking exclusively to The Quietus on the eve of the launch of his new live DVD, ‘Good Evening New York’, McCartney said:

“We might well have to do a special venue and say, ‘We’re only doing Fireman stuff tonight and nothing else!’ and if people went for that then we’d have something.”


hb: hmm

“Yeah, it does free you up,” McCartney told us. “And I like working with Youth on the Fireman stuff which is nice 'cos you get away from [fans’] expectations and it’s very nice to do. Consequently it makes for a very free album and we can go anywhere and the idea of idea of taking it on the road is cool.”

He then added jokingly:

“Well, we thought about it a bit but it’s people walking out that I’m worried about!”

source: The Quietus

hb:

Paul McCartney! Fuck that. Don't worry bout who's gonna show & who's not? Are you kidding me? Let em stay home if they don't wanna attend.. I know you care and all.. but, break outta the box..

I love all your jammy jam's with the fella's, it's fresh, new and exciting.. Hell, you can even throw in Hey Jude & fuck everybody up..hahahaha We know it's a favorite..You have so much material. why not give it a go? it's one reason I love, sound checks so much, the jamming. As I sit here wondering thinking & pondering?!! look what ya did with Paper Back writer as an example.. My vote is YES to a Fireman gig.....:)

what do you think-comments?

Paul McCartney's in Rolling Stone mag this month
Friday Evening Jan 9th

Macca talks to Rolling Stone mag about Electric Arguments. In the new issue==
(on newsstands everywhere today!), Paul McCartney opens up about the Fireman, his low-key experimental side project with British producer Youth. article here
there is a small Q&A with Paul..(I was disappointed a bit- I thought it would be longer)

A side note: Rolling Stone, didn't even bother to give Electric Arguments, a top 50 spot of 2008's top albums of the year per them. What's up with that? Instead, they choose the likes of the Jonas Bros? & Taylor Swift?....like I said, What the? The list sux in my opinion...

Whatever happened to the greatness and edge of Rolling Stone magazine? me thinks they need to get back to cutting edge music. OK.. R-E-A-L music & articles-than, slash all that wasted crap advertising space, which takes up, entire pages.. (very annoying) Forget the pop culture stuff..Leave that, to other mags.. Rolling Stone is suppose to be the Holy Grail, of all music magazines... this is what I think when I say" Rolling Stone" C'mon guys, get back to your hip roots and greatness..

'FIREMAN' PAUL McCARTNEY TO MEET FANS

SHARE A 'LATE BREAKFAST' WITH PAUL McCARTNEY...THEN FINISH OFF YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING!

Love it! share a late Breaky with Paul...lol How truly exciting for Fans this coming sunday & congrats to those who scored a wrist band.!!

HMV are very proud to announce that music legend Paul McCartney will make a personal appearance at their London Oxford Circus flagship store, 150 Oxford Street next Sunday, 21st December 2008 between 10.00am - 11.00am to sign copies of 'Electric Arguments', the new highly critically acclaimed album by Paul's under the guise of The Fireman.

Not all music fans may be aware that the creative force behind the acclaimed music project The Fireman is none other than Paul McCartney, who has collaborated on the concept periodically with influential record producer 'Youth' since 1993.

Their latest album Electric Arguments is an eclectic and varied album consisting of thirteen tracks recorded in thirteen days over the period of nearly a year. Each track was written and recorded in the space of one day.
The Fireman went into the studio with no plan or clear direction of how they wanted the album to sound. The project took a life of its own and the results will surprise anyone expecting to hear the previous sound of the band.

Paul will visit HMV's flagship store to sign copies of The Fireman's new album
'Electric Arguments', which was released last month to much critical acclaim, and is being re-issued this week with exclusive new artwork.

WHERE: HMV 150 Oxford Street, London W1
WHEN: 10am - 11am, Sunday 21st December 2008 * wristband access only - see below
WHO/WHAT: Paul McCartney signing copies of 'Electric Arguments'

Please Note: Access to the event will be by wristband only, available now on a limited basis from HMV, 150 Oxford Street.

The Fireman didn't Rip off Blue's Mans Song

The Fireman didn't Rip off Blues mans song

C'mon,..now an interesting lil ditty, about "Light from your Light House" off the recent
Electric Arguments album..is said to be taken from Blues legend 'Blind man Willie's'
'Let your light Shine on me' (follow me now) I said last week........

'Light from your Light House' from The Fireman kinda reminded me of Midnight Special-done by Credence Clear Water Revival... not sure where it's origin came from?
Somewhere in the deep south of prison chain gangs...Midnight Special also reminiscent of "Let your light Shine on me" by Blind Man Willie- still following? Quote from NME.

"It's true that The Fireman used the Blind Willie Johnson track as inspiration for our own song," they said. "His is a traditional song and this is not the first time an artist has made their own version using such a traditional song."

Exactly Fireman!!!
How many 'other artist's' have been inspired by BLUES music coming from the deep south? This is where Rockin-Roll originated from, The Blues-duh! If today's artist's are inspired from such soulful songs sung (long ago, perhaps heard by great-grand-parents) by legendary blues men, in their strife?
than let them pay homage, as long as the Blues originator is credited for their inspiration, in creating said songs in question? I think it an honor to be remembered..and inspired.. from the architect/ founders of music... I fondly think of Robert Johnson when I write this posty. So don't get all up-tight by rumours, that 'Light from your Light House' was ripped off from a Blues Legend.

Geoff Baker Keith Richards article the Mail

*

I know Geoff admires Keith Richards-smile

In other news I happened to come upon a great lil article written by Geoff Baker and friend

(I don't know the other guy) from the Mail.co.uk about Keith Richards, who is about to...GET THIS- release an OL classic easy listening....album? huh...Say what?!

a snippet here from Geoff's article:

*

the man who famously declared ‘rehab is for quitters’ –(lmao) looks set to do the one thing no one ever expected: release an easy-listening album.

Remarkably, it could include a polished jazz version of the Judy Garland classic Somewhere Over The Rainbow from The Wizard Of Oz and a tear-jerking homage to country star Tammy Wynette in the song Apartment No 9.
More than 20 never-released covers by the Rolling Stones guitarist have been leaked on the Internet and are proving a huge hit with the few fans in the know.

( where is that link Geoff? I'd love to hear a snippet) I left a comment but of course the 'Mail" didn't post it, sheeesh. Wanna read more about K. Richards Geoff's article? see here
