Has anyone ever seen Ian McCulloch on stage? Good lord, the guy can
inhale an entire cig with one drag. Any ordinary person would pass out
on the spot. Another good example of smoking not exactly helping your
voice over the years, I'd say.
Actually he's sounded DAMNED good on some relatively recent
recordings. I
haven't heard last year's Bunnymen record yet, but hear really positive
things about it. What I don't like avbout HIM smoking is that he
doesn't
play guitar live anymore, and the most probable reason is so he can
have his
hands free to smoke. I saw the "Bunnymen" live a few years back and
they
sounded good, eveb great, did a well-chosen set with lots of album
tracks,
but I couldn't help thinking that it would've looked a lot like a band
of
ringers if it was Will and Ian both on guitars, instead of Will's
guitar,
Ian just singing, and three mystery dudes on drums, 2nd guitar and
keys.
Good set, but didn't *look* like the legendary live Bunnymen I never
got to
see.
