Heartland

Apologies if this is referenced already in the posts.

John_r (and another poster) commented on The Young Gods in the "violetstock" thread - querying whether the december shows were electric or acoustic.

Having just seen the acoustic version last night, I actually regret December's outing is electric: they were absolutely superb - and the manner in which they employed three acoustic guitars (Al Comet sometimes using his as a drum, in an almost neubauten-esque style) and a drummer to replicate their sound was astonishing.

I mention "Ghostrider" in the title because they performed it - Franz sheepishly noting it was "Ghostrider by Suicide" at its conclusion. If you can obtain a track of it, well worth a listen: and hopefully they will include that cover in the electric tour in December.

Honourable mention to Ms. Hunger, the opening act - a talent to keep an eye out for.

See you all in Leeds on the 8th.

thanks, is there a link where it can be listened to ?
oh and welcome to heartland

Ghostrider? Young Gods?



Seen them about a month ago, electric in Ghent, and another couple months ago electric in Brussels and that was absolutely smashing, both times! Shame they don't come over to say hello in their acoustic incarnation though.

They're always ace live... be it electric or acoustic! Top band

I'd love to hear their version of Ghostrider too
