The Paranoid Squirrel ep 455

It’s Wednesday; the middle of the week and it’s a peak not a trough. To celebrate I bring you Gunzo recorded at the Underworld in Camden last Friday. “Who are Gunzo?” I hear you cry. As the name implies the band feature Tracii Guns and Rudy Sarzo, two real bone-a-fide heavyweight musicians whose collective CV reads like a fantasy; LA Guns, Dio, Whitesnake, Ozzy Osbourne, Guns ‘n’ Roses. Joining our two superheroes were Michael O’Mara on vocals and Shane Fitzgibbons on drums who more than meet the task in hand. So what did we get? More to the point what are you going to hear? Over an hour and a quarters worth of Rudy and Tracii’s back catalogue, with even some Montrose thrown in for good measure at the request of Michael O’Hara. I knew the evening was going to be good but I hadn’t banked on it being THIS good. It’s like the nineties never happened with me airguitaring, something I haven’t done since the days of the Saxon Tavern in Southend Lane in Catford. This was what Friday nights were made for and if you’re quick and in Northern Ireland the band are playing the Voodoo in Belfast tonight which just so happens to be the last gig of the tour.
