OK, this guy has a face like a prune and scrunches it up alot when playing (looks really obscene) and he has the loudest hawaiian sort of shirts, bright clashing colour trousers and flourescent yellow/green sneakers. Sort of the rodeo clown of the guitar world. Who am I remembering? Saw the festival video on Sky Arts but couldn't pin down this player. It's driving me nuts...
Dont know about the ugly clothes, but the scrunching if a prune like face?
Hmm... Could it be Gary Moore.
Remember him? he used to do metal but is now much more blues orientated.
h
he's nae a bonny loon, some player though!
longboarder.
I think it could be Joe Walsh, he is on the crossroad dvd and wears a coloured shirt and yellow shoes.
...Badeye.
Yayee, thanks Badeye, it is indeed Joe Walsh, soon as I tried his name I found photos of 'that face'.

Off to get me some yellow sneakers...
Yeap, Cytania thats Joe. Some earlier bands he played in are "Barnstorm" and "The James Gang" and of course "The Eagles". Got a chance to see him live in the USA in 1997. Had a great time on our Joe Walsh trip. We watched him two nights and he wore some crazy outfits as well. Plays great guitar.Glad to help.
...Badeye.
Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes. During a radio interview, Joe was asked about his experience when The James Gang toured with Jimi Hendrix. I don't have the exact quote, but it was something like - I really don't remember that tour, but I know we did it - I have the poster!
That's rock-n-roll
Thats Joe Topdown, He appeared on the Drew Carry Show a few times and I was fortunate to tape them. The night he played in Hamptom Beach Casino he played 12 different guitars and rocked. A couple nites later in Plattsburg,NY, at the end of the show the band threw about 100 tennis balls into the crowd, I maneged to get a six pack of em. Been a Joe Walsh fan for a while.
have a good one ....Badeye
Badeye - I saw a couple of those Drew Carey shows and Joe was a riot. They had formed some hotel bar band, right? Joe definitely seems like the kind of guy I'd like to have a beer with. I have a limo, ride in the trunk...lol.
Funny stuff Topdown. Ordinary Average Guys. When in Plattsburg we stoped and borrowed two huge Joe Walsh signs that were tied to a chain link fence promoting the concert .oops still have em. He puts on a real great show.I
hear the Eagles are coming to Moncton, New Brunswick in july. May just have to go see Joe again.
Take care...Badeye.
That is definately Joe Walsh,I was at Dallas for Crossroads and He was as good as it gets,shoes about 3 or 4 layers of jacket and shirts all bright neon colors,when he broke into Rocky Mountain Way the Cotton Bowl was rockin.He is the best doing his stuff.
