I guess he’s the best steady Bob could get
But damn he’s got no soul man

This is a Bob thread, I get it, but he shouldn’t be advertising GBV without his club dudes

Yes, I think he's a good foil but I don't really like his guitar playing.

I read the Greer book, it was whatever. I'm definitely not interested in an analysis of why there are no women in the band. I would be very up for nerding out on his process (beyond Rolling Rock), song germination, takes on his peers and other musicians/artists etc.

I appreciate Gillard for his versatility. He never sounds like he's really bleeding for it like Mitch Mitchell did, but there's a lot of mid- and later-period Pollard stuff that calls for greater range
