The Big Gun Show Not Engaging Us In A Screw Job

The Big Gun Show's live rendition of Screw Job really does hit all the right notes for Saxon Pub enthusiasts. Gunter's singing has never been more smoky and accessible. The guitar work at the bridge is nothing short of top notch, the kind of thing Saxon Pub pub crawlers crave. As usual the harmonies gel nicely, not a note out of place or wasted efforts put forth. The drumming is a combination of laid back and authoritative. He bats the sticks like he owns the place. Just look at the smirk on his face while he's at work. He knows his stuff and doesn't mind telling you how much of a legend in his own mind he thinks he is. This band is the epitome of easy going but never complacent. They always give the people what they want in spades and it really pays off for them in spades. Whoever was at the Saxon Pub that night definitely got its money's worth. Liquor appears to be a common theme in its work, with bourbon and gin taking center stage here. Saxon Pub attendants should feel right at home with that concept. Nursing that gin and tonic while bemoaning a lost love sounds like familiar territory for anybody frequenting the facility. Maybe bring a few friends for a joint misery loves company session. Pretzels in the snack bowl. Good old cold beer on tap in the fridge for anyone whose tastes run to Budweiser rather than a smashing zinfindel or harder than hard liquor. Having corresponded with the man himself I can tell you Gunter would give you the shirt off his back if you asked him for it. His band has the mojo needed to rope in repeat customers time and again. I am proud to have reviewed this band's many tracks each one a sonic revelation of epic proportion. If you haven't checked them out by now, what are you waiting for? You're missing out on a good thing in full flower.
