If one thing lets him down, is probably his singing voice is a trifle weak, but hey, nobody's perfect? Which of course makes him.perfect!? I still dress like Dr Feelgood to this day, probably thee perfect band image of all time. He's got it all, style, great image, a personality, likes cosmology, perfect stripped down guitar style, and a stage presence like no other he even came back from the dead for chrissakes!? I'm not prone to having any heroes, but if I was to be any musician it would be either Brian Eno or Wilko Johnson. This leads us naturally to the post-Feelgood works of one John Wilkinson, aka Wilko. Feelgood, via the staccato rhythm lead of one Wilko Johnson. So, Snakefinger was in a pub rock band called Chilli Willi and the RedHot Peppers, which bares some resemblance to the unforgivably terrible Red Hot Chilli Peppers, who were inspired by The Gang Of Four (? can someone point out where that influence actually is?) who in turn were influenced by Pub Rock legends,Dr. Well, I like tenuous links between posts so I can seamlessly segue between disparate pop groups with no obvious connection to keep the flow as smooth as possible.
