[A]
[D]
So let's get down to the [A] business here.
[D] We have the best of Humble Pie.
Right, well I'm on the best of Humble Pie.
I don't need no doctor.
That's fantastic.
I don't know if that's the live version.
My all time favourite live album is Rocking the Fillmore by Humble Pie.
I think the best gig I ever saw was when I was about 14.
They played in High Park in London.
I opened up for Grand Fountain Railroad.
[E] We have [B] The Faces, a pretty influential band.
Well yeah.
As good as a wink, hugely influential.
Yeah, I think [B] this is their best album.
I was lucky enough the last couple of years to [E] actually be playing in [A] The Faces.
I was [D] playing with Ian [A] McGlagan.
Ian McGlagan.
He's a sir now, right?
Isn't he a sir?
Ian [E] McGlagan.
They call him Sir Ian McGlagan.
No, no, no.
In his own mind.
In his own [G] lunchtime.
I don't know, [A] when I was about 15 or 16 I went down this [Bm] place called Portobello Road [D] in London.
I found a store just like this.
When I started [G] listening to music, I started when I was really young.
We had an old [D] radiogram.
My uncle had been a bit of a teddy boy.
He gave me [Am] his old 78s.
So [D] the first records I ever put on were [A] like The Big Bopper, Great Balls of Fire, Elvis, Gene Vincent.
On a 78, this thing went whizzing round.
And [E] they was all in cardboard sleeves that were stitched together.
Anyway, when I was about 14 or 15 I went down Portobello Road.
I was flicking through the rack [B] like this and I found this [E] record that looked [B] like a 78.
And I just picked it [B] up.
And it was by The Faces.
And I didn't know who the fuck they were.
But oh, I took it home and really dug it.
And [D] then I kind of researched it a [A] bit and I realised they were a spin-off from [E] The Small Faces.
[A]
It rocks, but it's this real kind [F#] of weird, hybrid, [B] groove, funk, [F#] blues, soul, rock thing.
[B] I don't think anybody sang it like [F#] The Faces.
It's full of character.
[B] That's what I reckon on.
Were you [F#] playing a lot of that stuff when you started [E] playing?
Yeah, this is like one of [A] the records I learned to play bass.
I just put the record on and play along with it.
How much did you, do you remember how much [E]
did you spend on your first bass?
[A] I [C] think it was £15.
[D] Wow, [C#] incredible.
[B] Do you remember it [D] like
Yeah, it [C#]
looked like a Fender [D] Mustang.
It had like Go Faster stripes on it.
But then I [B] realised [Am] after a while, it had actually been a guitar [D] that somebody had taken the six strings off of [C#] and put four [B] in instead.
[D] And when I went for my [A] little audition [B] with Steve and Paul [D] and this other guy, Wally,
[C#] who was like a [Bm] prototype technician, [A] they said,
Right, and I played a song [D] off The Faces' [C#] first album [B] called Three [D] Button Hand Me Down.
It's got quite [C#] a fancy bass part that [D] Ron Wood plays actually.
[C#m] And I managed to get [E] my way through that and they said,
Right, [A] I was impressed.
You've got the job.
But this was like a Crocodile [A] Dung D moment.
They said, but you're not playing that and that's not a bass.
I said, what do you mean?
And they pulled from underneath [N] Wally's bed the case and it had a Fender Precision.
And I said, where did you get that?
And they said, don't ask any questions.
And they said, that's a bass, you [A] know.
That's great.
And we have Moe's Allison.
Moe's Allison.
That's jazz?
Yeah, that's jazz.
Your Mind Is On Vocation, fantastic lyrics.
It's got your molecular structure in it.
If it weren't for Moe's Allison, there wouldn't have been The Who.
He's got a totally different kind of two-step groove.
Interesting.
When I went to see him, I really dug it, man.
Cool.
Okay, next we've got some of the Thin White Duke.
I think this is a cool album for me.
He's got a city light suit on as well.
[D]
It's got all this kind of [A] 60s stuff on [G] it.
So I dug all these [E] bands, but they're kind of, for the [A] time,
were modern versions [A] of it.
It's [G] quite an eclectic [E] mix.
Great band on it.
Did they see Emily play the Pink Floyd song?
The Pink Floyd [A] song, yeah.
That's incredible.
And [G] that's another album I would have [D] picked out if I could have found them.
[C]
Now let me ask you [A] a quick question about Pink Floyd.
I don't want to, I mean, [D] this story, I don't [C] know if it's a legend or a story,
[A] forgive me if I'm getting it all wrong,
how you guys or some of you guys [G] met.
One of you guys [D] was wearing [A] an [G] I Hate Pink Floyd T-shirt.
[Em] Yeah, it was a T-shirt that Johnny Rotten had [A] made.
Well, he, [A] okay, now [G] see, this begs a question.
[E]
He had a T-shirt that had Pink Floyd on [E] it that he'd written over the top, I [Am] hate.
But he had the [D] T-shirt in the first place.
But then [C] Paul Copper was wearing it one [A] day,
and we were collectively walking down the road from our little [D] rehearsal place,
a place [C] called, it's like [A] England's Tin Pan Alley, Denmark Street.
And as we were walking down the street, [C] this copper stopped Paul and said,
hey, [A] he's trying to start trouble just for wearing a T-shirt in the [G] street.
And I was like, wow, you [E] know.
[G]
[A] But it was funny because I,
tail end of the summer I went to some kind of do,
the Velvet Literary [D] Festival, very [A]
[G] la-di-da,
and there were people talking about their [E] books during the afternoon.
And [D] I played with my [E] band in the evening,
[G] and Billy Bragg played the next night, somebody else.
[Em] And at [A] my set, [B] I [D]
played Gilmore [C] and his Mrs.
were [F] dancing [Am] and singing along to Pretty Vapid, which was no mean feat.
But then [A] afterwards we were chatting, and this [C] young lady I was with,
[A]
I overheard him saying to her, who didn't [D] really understand the connection,
[C] and I know Dave a little bit, he used [A] to live near me,
he was saying to her, well, the thing is, Debra,
is that [G] Glenn used to have a [E] band,
and they had a T-shirt from my band with,
I hate, written over the top in magic mark.
And he was kind of indignant, but seeing the funny side at the same time.
Another one from the Thin White Duke, I don't know if that's apropos to [A] Colm still.
Yeah, well, Thin White Duke, I don't really know him as that.
I think that was one of his, not lame of careers, but the least happening ones.
But I think this is one of the most progressive rock albums ever made.
Guitar playing on it is [G] fantastic.
[A] He made four albums around about this period,
two with David Barty and two with Iggy.
Lost [E] for Life, Immediate, Heroes and [G] Low.
It's just such a fantastic body of work.
Were you a fan of prog [F] rock?
I know a couple of you guys liked it, I remember [D] reading about [C] that.
I was aware of it.
I like Pictures [G#m] at an Exhibition by [C] Emerson, Layton, Palmer in very small doses.
Okay.
I quite like Early Deep Purple.
[G] In [C] fact, one of my favourite songs is Hush, with Tommy [F] Bowling singing it.
That's incredible.
I [C] mean, you have the Walker [F] Brothers.
[G] Well, the Walker Brothers.
Kurt Walker.
I don't want to say [F] the same old thing.
I really like Scott Walker's, [C] Scott Walker's thing, Jack [C] Burrell album.
He kind of got me into Jack Burrell, because it's hard to get [G] into him if you don't speak French.
But there's a connection here with that and that stuff.
I mean, Scott Walker's gone very out of his guard these days.
So it all kind of links together, somehow.
Excellent.
Well, Glenn, we'll close it out on the Walker Brothers, Scott Walker.
Yeah.
One of [F] my all-time favourite songs at [E] the moment is a song called Montague [C] Terrace by him.
The lyrics are great.
It's like Scott Walker trying to do a Jack Burrell kind of thing, and he succeeded.
[A]
[Dm] Incredible.
So, it's got quite [E] eclectic tastes.
You can mix it [D] all up.
Great selection.
[E] If you're too narrow with things, you end [D] up with very narrow music.
[E]
No, it's a [Dm] great selection.
Thank you.
You know, I could spend [G] ages here, you know.
Loads and loads.
Glenn, thank you very much for doing this. My pleasure.
And we hope to see you soon.
Yep, okay.
[C] [F]
[F#] [C]

two with David Barty and two with Iggy.
Lost [E] for Life, Immediate, Heroes and [G] Low.
It's just such a fantastic body of work.
Were you a fan of prog [F] rock?
I know a couple of you guys liked it, I remember [D] reading about [C] that.
I was aware of it. _ _ _ _ _ _
I like Pictures [G#m] at an Exhibition by [C] Emerson, Layton, Palmer in very small doses.
Okay.
_ _ I quite like Early Deep Purple.
[G] In [C] fact, one of my favourite songs is Hush, with Tommy [F] Bowling singing it.
That's incredible.
I [C] mean, you have _ _ the Walker [F] Brothers.
[G] Well, the Walker Brothers.
Kurt Walker.
I don't want to say [F] the same old thing.
I really like Scott Walker's, _ [C] Scott Walker's thing, Jack [C] Burrell album. _ _
He kind of got me into Jack Burrell, because it's hard to get [G] into him if you don't speak French.
But there's a connection here with that and that stuff.
I mean, Scott Walker's gone very out of his guard these days.
So it all kind of links together, _ somehow.
Excellent.
Well, Glenn, _ _ we'll close it out on the Walker Brothers, Scott Walker.
Yeah.
One of [F] my all-time favourite songs at [E] the moment is a song called Montague [C] Terrace by him.
The lyrics are great.
It's like _ _ Scott Walker trying to do a Jack Burrell kind of thing, and he succeeded.
_ [A] _
[Dm] Incredible.
So, it's got quite [E] eclectic tastes.
You can mix it [D] all up.
Great selection.
[E] If you're too narrow with things, you end [D] up with very narrow music.
_ [E]
No, it's a [Dm] great selection.
Thank you.
You know, I could spend [G] ages here, you know.
Loads and loads.
Glenn, thank you very much for doing this. My pleasure.
And we hope to see you soon.
Yep, okay.
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _

_ [F#] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ Cheers for Chivers.
[G] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ So let's get down to the _ _ [A] business here.
_ _ [D] We have the best of Humble Pie.
Right, well I'm on the best of Humble Pie.
I don't need no doctor.
That's fantastic.
I don't know if that's the live version.
My all time favourite live album is Rocking the Fillmore _ by Humble Pie.
I think the best gig I ever saw was when I was about 14.
They played in High Park in London. _
I opened up for _ Grand Fountain Railroad.
[E] We have [B] _ The Faces, a pretty influential band.
Well yeah.
As good as a wink, hugely influential.
Yeah, I think [B] this is their best album.
I was lucky enough the last couple of years to [E] actually be playing in [A] The Faces.
I was [D] playing with Ian [A] McGlagan.
Ian McGlagan.
He's a sir now, right?
Isn't he a sir?
Ian [E] McGlagan.
They call him Sir Ian McGlagan.
No, no, no.
In his own mind.
In his own [G] lunchtime.
I don't know, [A] when I was about _ 15 or 16 I went down this [Bm] place called Portobello Road [D] in London.
I found a store just like this.
_ When I started [G] listening to music, I started when I was really young. _ _ _
We had an old [D] radiogram.
My uncle had been a bit of a teddy boy.
He gave me [Am] his old 78s.
So [D] the first records I ever put on were [A] like The Big Bopper, Great Balls of Fire, Elvis, Gene Vincent.
On a 78, this thing went whizzing round.
And [E] they was all in cardboard sleeves that were stitched together.
_ Anyway, when I was about 14 or 15 I went down Portobello Road.
I was flicking through the rack [B] like this and I found this [E] record _ that looked [B] like a 78.
And I just picked it [B] up.
And it was by The Faces.
And I didn't know who the fuck they were.
_ But oh, I took it home and really dug it.
And [D] then I kind of researched it a [A] bit and I realised they were a spin-off from [E] The Small Faces.
_ _ [A]
It rocks, but it's this real kind [F#] of weird, hybrid, [B] groove, funk, _ [F#] blues, soul, _ rock thing.
[B] I don't think anybody sang it like [F#] The Faces.
It's full of character.
[B] That's what I reckon on.
Were you [F#] playing a lot of that stuff when you started [E] playing?
_ Yeah, this is like one of [A] the records I learned to play bass.
I just _ put the record on _ and play along with it.
How much did you, do you remember how much [E] _
did you spend on your first bass?
[A] I _ _ [C] think it was £15.
[D] _ _ Wow, [C#] incredible.
_ [B] Do you remember it [D] like_
Yeah, it [C#]
looked like a Fender [D] Mustang.
It had like Go Faster stripes on it.
But then I [B] realised [Am] after _ a while, it had actually been a guitar [D] that somebody had taken the six strings off of [C#] and put four [B] in instead.
[D] And when I went for my [A] little audition [B] with Steve and Paul [D] and this other guy, Wally,
[C#] who was like a [Bm] prototype technician, [A] they said,
Right, and I played a song _ _ _ [D] _ off The Faces' [C#] first album [B] called Three [D] Button Hand Me Down.
It's got quite [C#] a fancy bass part that [D] Ron Wood plays actually.
[C#m] And I managed to get [E] my way through that and they said,
Right, [A] I was impressed.
You've got the job.
But this was like a Crocodile [A] Dung D moment.
They said, but you're not playing that and that's not a bass.
I said, what do you mean?
And they pulled from _ underneath [N] Wally's bed the case and it had a Fender Precision.
And I said, where did you get that?
And they said, don't ask any questions. _
_ _ And they said, that's a bass, you [A] know.
That's great.
_ _ _ And we have Moe's Allison.
Moe's Allison.
That's jazz?
Yeah, that's jazz.
Your Mind Is On Vocation, fantastic lyrics.
It's got your molecular structure in it.
_ If it weren't for Moe's Allison, there wouldn't have been The Who.
_ He's got a totally different kind of two-step groove.
_ Interesting.
When I went to see him, I really dug it, man.
Cool.
Okay, next we've got some of the Thin White Duke. _
I think this is a cool album for me.
He's got a city light suit on as well.
_ _ [D] _
It's got all this kind of [A] 60s stuff on [G] it.
So I dug all these [E] bands, but they're kind of, for the [A] time,
were modern versions [A] _ of it.
It's [G] quite an eclectic [E] mix.
Great band on it.
Did they see Emily play the Pink Floyd song?
The Pink Floyd [A] song, yeah.
That's incredible.
And [G] that's another album I would have [D] picked out if I could have found them.
[C] _ _
Now let me ask you [A] a quick question about Pink Floyd.
I don't want to, I mean, _ [D] this story, I don't [C] know if it's a legend or a story,
[A] forgive me if I'm getting it all wrong, _
how you guys or some of you guys [G] met.
One of you guys [D] was wearing [A] an [G] I Hate Pink Floyd T-shirt.
[Em] Yeah, it was a T-shirt that Johnny Rotten had [A] made.
Well, he, [A] okay, now [G] see, this begs a question.
[E]
He had a T-shirt that had Pink Floyd on [E] it that _ he'd written over the top, I [Am] hate.
But he had the [D] T-shirt in the first place.
But then [C] Paul Copper was wearing it one [A] day,
and we were collectively walking down the road from our little [D] rehearsal place,
_ a place [C] called, _ it's like [A] _ England's Tin Pan Alley, Denmark Street.
_ And as we were walking down the street, [C] this copper stopped Paul and said,
hey, _ [A] he's trying to start trouble just for wearing a T-shirt in the [G] street.
And I was like, wow, you [E] know.
_ [G] _
_ _ [A] But it was funny because I, _ _
tail end of the summer I went to some kind of do, _
the Velvet Literary [D] Festival, very _ [A] _
_ [G] la-di-da,
and there were people talking about their [E] books during the afternoon.
And [D] _ I played with my [E] band in the evening,
[G] and Billy Bragg played the next night, somebody else. _
_ _ [Em] And at _ [A] my set, _ _ [B] I _ _ [D] _
played Gilmore [C] and his Mrs.
were [F] dancing [Am] and singing along to Pretty Vapid, which was no mean feat.
But then [A] afterwards we were chatting, and this [C] young lady I was with,
[A]
I overheard him saying to her, who didn't [D] really understand the connection,
[C] and I know Dave a little bit, he used [A] to live near me,
he was saying to her, well, the thing is, Debra,
is that _ [G] Glenn used to have a [E] band, _
and they had a T-shirt from my band with,
I hate, written over the top in magic mark.
And he was kind of indignant, but seeing the funny side at the same time.
_ _ Another one from the Thin White Duke, I don't know if that's apropos to [A] Colm still.
Yeah, well, Thin White Duke, I don't really know him as that.
I _ think that was one of his, not lame of careers, but the least happening ones.
But I think this is one of the _ _ most _ _ _ _ _ progressive rock albums ever made.
_ Guitar playing on it is [G] fantastic.
_ [A] He made four albums around about this period, _
two with David Barty and two with Iggy.
Lost [E] for Life, Immediate, Heroes and [G] Low.
