Yessssss, my preciousss Meatmen, where to begin i wonder.............
Okay, Big George Webley, the Godzilla of the four-stringed creature-whatta guy! This, as they say in the trade, is most definately A Man To Go Into The Jungle With, and then some.
I have known The Big Guy for a number of years now, we met thru` those naughty Feelgoods, and no matter where i am, or what i do, there are a couple of areas of my being that thinks "Now what would Big do in this situation?" He is of course, as mad as the original March Hare, no two ways about that boys, but it`s his `take` on things late leave me gasping, i wish you could all know him, so maybe i`ll work on that then....
There are of course, the odd Panicdotes about George floating around the rock `n` roll corridors of blood, of course there are, but i mean, do we really wanna know the truth about The MC5 and George`s Uncle Albert at the Filmore West that summer? Would the truth about the Cadillac Ranch Bar-B-Q bring anyone back? Of course not, so let`s just say that since he met Sheela-Queen of The Jungle, he`s calmed down quite a lot. I dunno what else to say about this illustrious and mighty Warrior of the Rumbling Cables, as i could quite easily go on about him all day, so thanx Big, let`s have an adventure in the summer, in volving noise and fun shall we.....? Yeah baby.
A worryingly unknown quantity is Wayne, his past is murky, with terrifying rumours, innuendos, and basically, what amounts to Folk-Lore in some parts of the world that the gekko has infested. The man has, according to some pretty well-authenticated sources, been thrown out of at least 4 of The Six Worst Biker-Gangs In Mexico. To help you to grasp the awful meaning of this fact boys and girls, think of this: The initiation ceremony to 2 of these outfits kills more erstwhile road-scum than it passes into the club, so what did he do to get chucked out? I have never questioned Gek on any of this stuff myself, there`s somethin` in his eyes that doesn`t invite random enquiries of a personal nature, for cryin` out loud, he`ll barely discuss the arrangement of a song, a man of depths i think. Deep, dark, depths..........On the bright side, as i say on the sleeve-notes somewhere, `nobody got killed-which was nice`, this is in fact a first in Wayne`s recording career, whenever he`s been involved in an album-type situation, a fatalaty has always occurred! Of course, we are talking about such studios as the infamous `Cucuracha del Morte` in Tiujana, the onliest recording studio in the world with it`s own graveyard and chapel of rememberance, and i sure ain`t saying for one moment that the gek had anything to do with any of the dudes who came, recorded, and stayed around a mite longer than was on the schedule,understand me pilgrims........?
I would say what Wayne`s up to next, but within a week of the album being finished, he`d already changed his appearance three times and was on his third continent, so only time will tell, `cos The Gekko Knows, and he ain`t tellin`................
