Simply Red Sam Smith........a singing blancmange Sam Smith,does anyone actually like his or their or they's music,if anyone on here admitted to liking his music I would eat my Hat.Major Kudu. :twisted: I can see he has a talent but songs are nonsense and his whole schtick is nauseating. He does fuc...

On the subject of sounds used.

I really never liked the sound latterly used for the Grip Intro.

too "Dr Who"!

He's doing what he's always done. Just pointed out the obvious that people talk about. It's hardly grunting at ladies on beaches. Jim But he's quite happy to say that he doesn't find the more rounded physique attractive. Ok, so it's not exactly akin to calling Lizzo a tubby fuck, but in these oh so...

You might like it! give it a go and report back/ I dare ya!

Of course you don't ! But it may have been an acknowledgement. Hence the question. Who knows?

I think Toby would have been a contact of Louie more than likely

But JJ is the boss so he can tell the story

I read somewhere that Dave had put down lines on tracks that were described as "demos". Of course Demos don't really exist much theses days due to modern recording techniques. Louis must have played a bit here and there to finish it off, but, as Toby gets thanks on the album, it does beg t...

Maybe Baz isn't the greatest singer but he is a very good guitarist and recreates Hugh's parts very well.
