Well it was Friday the 13th bad luck you may say I spit on it!
But for Paul it was to begin with he flew to Amsterdam to Nuremberg smiling an happy to be there then to find out his luggage ie; guitar was still in Amsterdam! Some 10 hours later he recieved his pride and joy at the airport and quickly had to travel to his gig! I felt sorry for Paul he was so tired he told me he had only had 4 hours sleep he was well tired!
The location is more or less a sort of hippy rocker pub with a great atmosphere the Germans love rock music over here and they where all eagerly awaiting Pauls performance.
Ini and myself arrived went upstairs and met Paul I somehow imagined a taller guy with massive fingers but he was about my size 1.70 cm and fingers like me. All I can tell you is that Paul makes up for that on the guitar!!! Then he told us that because of the delay at the airport he had no chance to practice with the lads just one hour they had never even met!!
So Paul opened up his night with some raunching fret nail biting licks that would make any seasoned player drool it was more than impressive I would call it inspirational. The crowd where in awe and so where we I even saw a young lad called Martin get up of his chair and come up to see Paul play those tornado like solos! He was so impressed he just kept on wagging his head in disbelief.
The amazing thing is as well the bassist Stephan and the drummer just went with what Paul was playing they where too very impressive, you would think they had been playing for years together.
If you haven't seen Paul play and he's been in your area then you should go to the nut house and sign yourself in because it is every guitarists delight to see a professional performer like Mr Rose!
At the end of the night Paul was absolutely destroyed after the long day so Zombo ordered him to relax and Ini and I played roadies it was an honour!
So please enjoy the pictures and extract some of the night and enjoyment we savoured with Paul Rose!
