Rich Rags Doco: Angel trailer

Been fortunate to catch up with Paul/Angel
over the holidays, to shoot his interview.

Am happy to report he's in fine spirits
(and does read GNet occasionally). Look out
for his new band, The Divine Brown.

Anyway, there'll be four trailers leading
up to early edits of the DVD: Paul's
Ian's, Stu's, and one for the drummers.

Paul's will appear once I've access to edit
suites, in a few days. It's good stuff.

Marky - I'll DL S.O.S in a couple of days.
Andii - Why didn't you answer your phone?

Happy 0666!

Daz.

Nice one D, looking forward to seeing that, hell of a nice guy Angel/Paul is. Happy new year mate.

Happy New Year D. Hope you remembered me to Angel.

Happy New Year to you both. Paul commented on
everybody to do with RR - which mostly comprised
of words like 'love' 'em' and 'to bits'.

Am back in the edit suites now, so the trailer
will be up the weekend.

Paul Angel was indeed a cool dude & a great bassist to boot .. ( Hands me a "rolled up ?10 note" for saying this .. erm .. Sniff/wipe !!! )

M

Street? The embalmer.

Your there man !

Knock about D the suspense is killing me

Don't worry, it won't be long. The interview,
incidently, was done at the (very) Royal Hotel
next door to Hull train station. They kindly
offered us the Prince Charles (I think it was)
suite and I, in turn, broke their lamp when I
was moving it to light Paul better. Seemed sort
of apt, really, for things to be falling apart
even before the interview started. [img]wink.gif[/img]

Paul, Myself and Steve Grainger from Silver hearts/ last Great Dreamers, once did an interview in a similar circumsatnces. Grainger had some mad weed and came across some kind of exotic dead beetle in the leaves. After a short debate Paul decided it would be fun to smoke the beeetle and see what happened.
It interview ended with Paul standing in a waste paper bin with a lamp shade on his head and shouting' Im not shouting'

I see nothing has changed.

Have to start calling Paul Yoko, she was well known for smoking beatles, if there were such a thing as medals for services to Rock N Roll Paul would be weighed down by the things just for making it on stage most nights

Rich Rags had their first decent marquee suport show. Jon had given express orders that No one (me and Paul) where to get exesively wankered the night before so we were ship shape and on the money come the morrow. For some reason the only hire van we had been able to get that day was from Beverley, up by Pauls place, and Jon had offered to collect Paul from home at 8.30 am upon picking up then van.
Jon swung the van into the yard outside rehearsals and vitriolically crushed the gears before getting out and stomping to the side door.
"Look at this cunt!" he snapped , before sliding back the side door of the van. Paul was utterly bolloxed and laughing his head off clutching abottle of remy. It transpired that Jon had pulled up at Pauls place and headed towards the door when a rubber shark had shot across his path attached to a fishing line. He looked around and spotted Paul sat in a near by tree with a fishing rod, holding a bottle of brandy and reeling in his rubber shark, laughing his head off, pissed out of his mind... at 8. 30 am.

It wasnt so much the disregard for staying reasonably compus mentus. It was that non of us could ever imagine anyone else sat in a tree at 8.30 a.m with a fishing rod and a rubber shark.

The man remains a true maverik

I remember that gig, cos you gave me alift from Doncaster train station, as id been up to Hull flogging second hand cars i'd bought down south, selling back in Hull to raise some cash for my band "wild alice." I spent the ntire journey gabbing to Jon and His missus down to London and when we got there, Jon jumped in the back of the van pulled aside a dodgy pile of blankets to reveal a wankered and passed out Angel in the back, honestly i didnt even know he was in the van !

Great Gig tho

Absolutly true. I remember Paul just passing out once the brandy was gone and treating us all to some horrendous bottom histrionics until we hit Scratchwood services.

Sounds like it. I can't confirm that Paul is
still smoking beetles, though.

D.

What about when he fell 30ft off those pallets and smashed his face in, fuckin legend, still the best bassist I ever propped up onstage with a broom.

Don't remeind me. Stu was a fucking ogre at times. Paul had 15 stitches to fasten his eylid back on, he was 75% purple and yellow from bruising, and couldn't stand up for more than a couple of minutes due to his knee being the size of a large turnip..and Stu's only empathy was to let him sit down on a stool during gigs. No chance of cancellation!

Lenni, what about when I fell off the back of the motorbike? Fractured scull 30 stitches in my head and another 30 spread around my back patching up the gravel rash, and a top lip that made me look like Donald Duck due to having knee'd myself in the face as I hit the deck, Stu made me do a gig four days later! (York Winning Post if you remember) A pre tour warm up on a Tuesday night to about 20 punters and a fractured scull wasn't even an excuse to cancel.

I mentioned this to Stu a couple of years ago and he just burst out laughing and said " I was bit of a cunt sometimes wasn't I?"

Hey Mr H .. i suppose without revealing too much (unles you wanna PM me..) whats Stu upto now-adays?

Stu's doing post-production down in that London.
Was informed by Paul today, though, that the daft
brush has just broken his leg skateboarding - so
it's more post-plaster of Paris than anything else
at the moment.

The chaos that surrounded that bunch of northern boot boys still surrounds them today, bout time we had a reunion and perhaps a number or two from the lads!

Paul said he'd be happy to do some sort of reunion
gig. At the least, I think it might be cool if
RR wrote a new song for the DVD, and we filmed
a little promo video for it. Or just a vid for
a re-released 'GBH' single or something?

D.

Yeah c'mon boys, one more for the road!

With Stu and Nick's contretemps still as raw as
ever, and Davey on the missing list, the drummer,
of course, would have to be Lenni.

During our interview, Paul reminisced on a RR gig
which apparently took place at The Lamp (Hull),
and RR played Clash covers all night... The stage
was full of broken glass and Hunter was barefoot.

I heard that, the guys can come up to my studio anytime (which will give D.D. Pro tools files for Production..) as for the Drum Stool, well, given half a chance i'd drop just about anything to do it, a dream come true so to speak !

Yep he sold his shoes to buy 20 fags

Jesus, that was nuts. I ended the night with my feet in the dressing room sink pulling slivers of glass out of my feet.
I had inadvertantly forgotten to pack my basers in my gig bag and rather than go on in a great clumping pair od seditionary boot, chose to go on barefoot. It was only supposed to be 4 numbers.
However, the place went off from the start, all the old punks trashing the gig. It was great but the stage was a forest of broken glass in about 40 seconds. Just had to grin and bare it.

<font size="4" face="Arial">Yeah I remember thinking you were probably gonna keel over and die at some point. I got a phone call from Stu about the accident and expected Stu to say "gigs off don't bother Driving over" Nah! be there at 6 O clock he'll be OK.

I counted 10 in the crowd that night, must ave been the double vision.

<font size="4" face="Arial">Marshy my friend you would have to drop yer fuckin pants in front of JB to get that dream to come true.

Im easy bro' .. and you can F**king talk, ive seen the pikkie of you and J.B ! ( Anyone else wanna see it ?) go here:- http://len77.multiply.com/photos/photo/5/3.JPG

"Jeeeeez Dude, what the hell is going on?" (LMFAO)

LMAO, Marshy if it happens and I can't be there you are the man, but you got to do it Lenni style. [img]wink.gif[/img]

I wont play 'Poorly' for anyone dude ! (lol)

Like I said If I can't do it.

Here's the trailer, chaps.

It's DivX, but if you need to download DivX to
play it (you'll only hear audio if you haven't
DivX installed), consider getting the VLC Player
instead: it's pretty nifty, as it goes,
and hasn't got 'nagware' inside it which the new
DivX Player has apparently

Downside to VLC: like DivX, it doesn't like
you quickly scrubbing through the footage. It's
open source, though, and non-profit, and quite
lovely.

Don't forget to press Alt-Enter to go into full
screen mode. Also, don't forget to play it lots of
times.

Oh man i loved the trailer dude, well done Darren, cant wait for the finished DVD.


Marshy

Thanks D, this really is top notch.

Hey D, really blown away with the Paul stuff.
Looks set to be a really good film. Looking forward to doing my bit.
I posted an inqury on a shropeshinre website looking for Davey and a girl got back to me who used to know hims and his sister. She was gonna try and contact Dave sister and get a lead on where he is.

Glad you liked it. I would have done an extended
one - because there's about 30mins of stuff - but
no time at the mo.

I hope the Davey search is fruitful. I think the
notion about him still being in Hull is probably
a dead-end because I'm sure I would have either
seen him or heard something by now.

D.

I think you are right mate. I think the initial Dail Mail thing would have thrown up soemthing.
Its bizarre that he has just fallen off the planet so to speak. Anyway, I haven't given up hope yet.

Yehhh. I have other spies keeping their eyes
peeled too. I'm sure if Shmian had seen him, he
would have roped him into some sort of quasi-
RR reunion band by now. [img]wink.gif[/img]

D.

He could always be found checking ashtrays at the end of the night for good tabs if that helps which of course it doesn't
