Ok, I watched all that lot, sound quality varied with the Jamiroquai outings.Dave the bass wrote:Saw Metallica and Slayer on the same bill, Slayer Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz but Metallica were great.
I think Jay Kaye (from JamickyWhy) has all thats needed to be a great front man. A big gob, a big hat and a deep concern for the environment that doesn't curtail him driving like a loony all over the world in petrol guzzling huge great V12 carsHe's a plonker but he's (and the various line ups have) done some great fonk.
the bass part alone is so heavy you put on a stone whilst listening to this track.
big hat + prat in full-effect.
Stuart Zender (bassist) and JK fell out big time but they goove like a mofo (which is good) on this.
...and he's a skater too... no really... he is 1.18.
...Jeremy Kwee!
I rest my case M'lud
Stevie Wonder. Syrupy? getaway widja bad self...
...and... ...err.... hang on.........
I'll give you that one

I said earlier I didn't 'get' Jamiroquai. I do now. After sitting through that lot I've sussed it - it's him. Jay Kay. What an annoying twat he is. Sorry, but there's something about him that totally rubs me up the wrong way.
The musicians allied to him are, however, superb, to my non-musician ears.
As for his enviromental sympathies, no cred points with me. I was once an idealistic ban the bomb hippy with real green concerns but as I've aged and taken in the bigger picture I now consider the Green party to be Nazis.
I won't go into the many whys and wherefores that led me to this decision, I could ramble on for an exceedingly long time, but suffice to say I still care for the planet but I'm convinced Mother Earth can take care of herself a damn siight more than we give her credit for.
The recent oil spill distressed me greatly http://www.disinfo.com/2010/06/beauty-a ... spill-pic/ and I don't like smog. But - one long haul flight will pollute our atmosphere as much as a year's worth of London traffic but ask one of Green friends to take a boat for his annual vacation to Tenerife and he will balk at the idea. And he wants me to stop me driving my wheels.
Tip of the iceberg, my example, but suffice to say extreme weather conditions have been around on this planet since mankind became clever enough to keep records, and that was a helluva long time before the internal combustion engine or huge factories came along.
Stevie Wonder is superb, love his stuff, but he's changed. One little anecdote, he once pulled out of a London concert in the early eighties as somebody swiped the floppy disk he programmed his keyboards with and he was somewhat knackered without it. Pip pip!
