Solos For Bobby
After watching El Bollock Scratcher extraordinare massacre yet more solos on the IOW webcast last night, I was trying to wrack my brain thinking of the solos that would actually suit Baboosh.
I hate Bobby as much as the next man, probably more so, and think he shouldn't have any solos at all, but there's gotta be some songs that suit him more than Bad Name and In These Arms?
For instance, Wildflower. Yeah, not many people like it, but if rumours are right that he played the solo on the album then even he couldn't **** that up. Chuck it in the slow spot occasionally and it gives us a mix up too.
If it wasn't for the talkbox I'd say It's My Life, its a pretty simplistic solo that he could wrap his sausage fingers around, and Livin In Sin doesn't stray too much from his beloved 1 long note style. Maybe Wild Is The Wind to a degree, although Jon's given up on that one after the US knit-a-thon. I don't know if he did the solo on When We Were Beautiful but that would be a go, a few WAN tracks should be capable enough of like Whats Left Of Me & Army Of One, as well as Thick As Thieves if they ever gave that a spin
HAND seems to be his best go at a solo and prevents Phil having to use a double neck I guess, apart from In These Arms which Ive sadly conditioned myself to.
Anyone think of any others? I'm starting to feel guilty about the extent of my Bobby hate, but Jon really shouldn't be giving him solos that he struggles to do when there are ones that play to his style a bit more.
