Midnight oil

John Butler - this man is an amazing guitarist.

Michele to the rescue! So much great stuff there, very cool. I think the Divinyls one of the most underrated Australian bands in that they should have been huge. I did post them Michele but I wasn't game to post "I touch myself"...glad you did. I always thought it would make just a fantastic wedding waltz.

Hey Andy good call mate! LRB. We haven't gone to the Air Supply vault either!

OK little bit of trivia with this one. If you care to watch, you may think that the singer bears quite a resemblance to a world famous guitarist. And you would be right.

GUys - way to crack me up with Rolfe and DAAS.

Got put onto these guys by Itdan99. Very good imho.

Ya they rock...Minds Eye is the best song the have IMO...here tis...

Ahhhh ... Midnight Oil. One of my favorite all-time bands. Thanks for reminding me, Michele.

Sorry that I keep double posting I just don't know why. Definitely only hitting enter once. Sorry again.

Guys I went to see Diesel at the Governor Hindmarsh in Adelaide on Friday night. Right in the front row and he put on such a great show. He plays with great energy and gives his all, great guitarist. The clip I'm posting is not from Friday but it's to give those you don't know him a feel. The guitar he is playing is a Diesel Maton Mini, an awesome, solid blackwood and spruce guitar made for him and now a production line offering. (yes I have one). In my humble opinion this guy never achieved the fame his talent deserved, but I guess he's not alone there. Please take a look.

That's a nice little guitar, must be handy for practicing. I like the stained finish. I think that my next but one guitar may have a sunburst finish.....it's definitely growing on me.

More John Butler - trio









The last one is particularly beautiful and amazing.

Michele, that John Butler is definitely amazing and quite innovative: slide and wawa on a 12 strings? That is a very good song, Thanks for introducing him. I will check him out

Karma for you

Hey Tovo not sure which guitarist you refer to, but I think the singer looks like Tim " the tool man" Taylor.

mmm I'm not seeing the resemblance Marc. I doubt he would be thrilled to hear that! I take that to mean you didn't like it?

Really liked this. Hadn't heard him before - though i did read an article on him in a mag here in the UK a few months back.

For the techies out there who consider such things interesting - he plays his 12 string as a 11 string, removing the high G because he doesn't like the highest string on the guitar ringing with the mids.......kind of the opposite of Roger McGuinn.

Yep...I think he's OK... but you might have guessed that already.

Apparently he used to make $300 a day as a busker - $300 an hour at Christmas! But you can see why.

Tovo, I like him , I just thought he looks like Tim Allen with no judgement on his performance.
