Live Loud - 999 CD

999 kicked off in 1977 with I m Alive and Nasty, Nasty, two notoriously riotous singles that would establish them alongside a handful of others in the shadow of the Pistols, Clash and The Damned. Nick Cash and Guy Days had unknowingly already made it into the history books, but there was much more to come in Homicide, Me and My Desire, Emergency and Biggest Prize In Sport. The live recordings within are assured reminders of a vitally important British punk band in their early prime with explosive versions of tracks from their first three albums from 1978-1979. Singles such as Feelin Alright With The Crew and Hollywood clash perfectly with selected album tracks that collectively recall a halcyon period for British youth culture and its soundtrack.Additional Info: Following the success of Tattoos and Alibis, Ricky Warwick returned to the studio armed with a boatload of new songs and inspiration. Oh, and it doesn't hurt that his patron saint is one of hair metal's finest crooners, Def Leppard's Joe Elliott. Anyway, this 14-song offering is just what fans want and would expect from the man who learned to play guitar from listening to Johnny Cash records: alt country twists with bits of renegade folk, and drinking songs thrown in for good measure. Contributions from Elliott, Ian Hunter and Vivian Campbell help give Love Many, Trust Few a more polished sound than Tattoos and Alibis, and at times Warwick sounds like a younger, more rebellious version of Steve Earle. It's not trailblazing music by any means, but in terms of personal growth, it's a major step in the right direction. ~ Rob Theakston
