two months pass...
one of the bands i play in opened for helios creed on saturday night, they played as a 4-piece w/ 2 guitars, bass, drums. started off a bit rough, but got pretty psychedelic and cool by the end. the other guitar player played a keytar at one point. they did some chrome songs too, i think. (haven't heard much chrome, can't be sure)

fucking classic. i like all the chrome shit and i have last laugh which, like a ride on a tilt a whirl, is kinda disorienting, but fun nonetheless.

Classic indeed

Kiss to the Brain is his only album I have (besides Chrome stuff) and I don't like it.

ALL CLASSIC!!

I have all his records, incredible live. A master.

Damn! The post-Instal fest atttendee's survey had a space for 'acts you'd like to see', and I forgot to mention Helios Creed.

Helios/Chrome is perhaps the best accompaniment to a Nitrous session.
It's a shame so much is out of print.

i just picked up activated condition (on man's ruin) and it's pretty good! space-metal with flanger on every damn thing.

X-Rated Fairytales = awesomeness

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE UP TO (Colonel Poo), Thursday, 4 December 2008 12:44 (fifteen years ago) link

Love the peak Edge/Creed Chrome stuff (basically Half Machine & Alien OST, plus a few strays from elsewhere), and root for HxCx as a hero from way back, but I don't think I've ever really LOVED his solo stuff. Fried as it is, it always seems too boxed-in, self-contained, satisfied to operate within a predefined set of limits. A bit freeze-dried, I mean. Live show goes the other way, like Spinal Tap on a beer budget, but occasionally spectacular. Best are probably the first few AmRep records, Lactating Purple has some lovely, subdued moments.

For some reason it really tickles me that Helios Creed's real name is apparently Barry.

The Chrome Box is totally awesome, and I'm looking forward to see Chrome play next week

sarahell, Saturday, 22 April 2017 21:07 (six years ago) link

I went to what I think was the first ever Chrome gig in the UK in 2014, was great.

I'm FB friended with him. (He sent me the request.) He is, to put it delicately, not aging well mentally. One of his sons posts to his page all of the time to try to talk some sense into him.

Christine Green Leafy Dragon Indigo, Thursday, 15 April 2021 23:04 (three years ago) link

Are either you or he FB friends with Jim Reid?

It Is Dangerous to Meme Inside (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 15 April 2021 23:06 (three years ago) link

No.

Christine Green Leafy Dragon Indigo, Thursday, 15 April 2021 23:13 (three years ago) link

Goddammit.

Of the Mary Chain? I know people who are.

Authoritarian Steaks (Tom D.), Friday, 16 April 2021 00:12 (three years ago) link

Yeah. We discussed on a J&MC thread after I got a friend recommendation for him.

It Is Dangerous to Meme Inside (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 16 April 2021 00:14 (three years ago) link

And what's that got to do with Helios Creed acting like a tit?

Authoritarian Steaks (Tom D.), Friday, 16 April 2021 00:23 (three years ago) link

Nothing. Just going off on a tangent about being FB friends with well-known musicians.

It Is Dangerous to Meme Inside (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 16 April 2021 00:32 (three years ago) link

I thought you were looking for reassurance Jim Reid wasn't a tit as well.

Authoritarian Steaks (Tom D.), Friday, 16 April 2021 00:35 (three years ago) link

Frankly I am afraid to ask.

It Is Dangerous to Meme Inside (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 16 April 2021 00:38 (three years ago) link

I wouldn't worry, he seems a sensible chap.

Authoritarian Steaks (Tom D.), Friday, 16 April 2021 00:39 (three years ago) link

So you are saying I should friend him?

It Is Dangerous to Meme Inside (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 16 April 2021 00:44 (three years ago) link

Sure.

Authoritarian Steaks (Tom D.), Friday, 16 April 2021 00:44 (three years ago) link

You'd be surprised how often they accept.

Christine Green Leafy Dragon Indigo, Friday, 16 April 2021 01:08 (three years ago) link

the last dude on that thread is in another band with some friends of mine ... good dude afaik
