A Bit of What You Fancy (Audio CD)

Customer Review

English Quireboys were often referred to as 'British Guns N'Roses' or 'British answer to Guns N' Roses ". Precisely because of such reviews, I had begun to create my albums the Quireboys, and my start was "A Bit Of What You Fancy", at that time still on vinyl. Comparing with Guns N'Roses I can only understand so far, since the Quireboys emerged at a time in the Guns N 'Roses began to be incredibly successful.

It may certainly be common influences and certain similarities of both bands, but the sound of the Quireboys is much more arrested in the 70s, he is despite spikes whiskey-soaked raspy voice not quite as dirty, does not transport as much energy is far more bluesy, and - of course - the British. In this context, I also often get to read, the Quireboys were "anyway never more than a bad copy of Faces" was. One can Quireboys quite fine compared with the Faces, but I do not think that they were just a bad copy in about. Of course, such a comparison suggests itself especially by spikes song, which is quite similar by Rod Stewart on.

The Quireboys spring maybe the 80s, but I find that the "A Bit Of What You Fancy" pretty good, but a little harder and a little adjusting to the early 90s, over 70s brought the year-rock feel. "7 o'clock" starts, driven by a bar piano and fine guitar playing rock and roll, peppy the album, "Man On The Loose" has, like "Hey You", a slight sleaze rock list on but remains in earthier areas. A certain surprise then provides the very bluesy and easy R & B-heavy "Whippin 'Boy" that stands out a bit in my opinion: the song exudes a Swamp-rock and cotton fields feeling directly from the North American South; It sounds as though you are sitting together with harmonica before his wooden hut in the swamp. Although the Quireboys have little to do with Creedence Clearwater Revival, the song is somewhat reminiscent of the California Bayou rockers. My personal favorite song on the record.

The piano plays at The Quireboys an important role, not only because it appears on all songs. Mostly it strums in casual honky Tonk- or pub style to himself, as in the rock n'rolligen "Sex Party", the fast "Misled", the slightly sleazy "There She Goes Again" and the final "Take Me Home ". On the whole, the piano adds prima in the sound of the Quireboys, but sometimes I have in some places feel as if they were oblivious hinklimpern right. In the long run the strumming can therefore act annoying sometimes. In addition, they have many strings melodies integrated into their sound, sometimes more like Irish folk music ("Sweet Mary Ann" or the fast, wonderful "Roses And Rings") or just remind to an orchestra, as in the great ballad "I Don 't Love You Anymore ", where only the guitar solo suggests that the number was published in 1990.

The Quireboys play no purebred Goss rock, they play no pompous arena rock, they gamble old, soiled and genuine rock and roll inspired by the Faces and the Rolling Stones, not too far from the Black Crowes, perhaps a little less cool while driving, but it would come all the more in the pub when lifting. Where then anyway no longer car drives.
