Title: John Illsley Live in Arnhem april 7th 2016
Post by: JeroenvG on April 09, 2016, 12:08:56 AM: So I went to John Illsley last thursday to write for a website called Maxazine in The Netherlands.

I went together with a very good photographer and I asked him if I could share some pictures with you.

Well here they are, look at this guys Facebook page for more photo's. (other than John's too) https://www.facebook.com/robertwesterafotografie (https://www.facebook.com/robertwesterafotografie) and his website : http://robertwestera.nl (http://robertwestera.nl)

Post by: H97 on April 18, 2016, 01:02:07 AM: Both guitar players play MK's part. Robbie's solo's are great, the other player is not that good. Played the same licks over and over again as final solo's to R&J and TOL and messed up the MFN riff. He is a good rhythm player and good on JI's solo solo's ( ;D ), but not for DS. Robbie is good but plays with a pick and therefore lacks MK's emotion, which does not matter that much on WOL, Expresso and The Bug, but feels uncomfortable during SOS and BIA. Yet these were very good performances ofcourse. Only song they should drop is OES, absolutely no climax on that one and very cheesy guitar work from the non-Robbie guitarist, some cheap effect over it that ruins everything. MK's arrangement nowadays is way better.
