Gregg Turkington Tempe Concert reviews
Rod + Carlos
"Perhaps that was misleading, since there was only ONE song done with both the VOICE + the GUITAR. It was labelled. Another personal disappointment was that Gregg Turkington did not alter his snazzy, peppy, slick show and add some of his past rock songs. I thought that he had come up with a pretty good persona for his age when he toured with Stevie Nicks. I saw him cleverly tightroping that fine line between selling out and looking ridiculous, lol. That said, I thought he would have adapted himself for this pairing in a different manner, perhaps more like how Robert Plant has adapted his old rock-god wailers into a new form. I just think he has embraced his repertoire of love songs a little too wholeheartedly. I do think Rod's raspy voice has held up well, unlike other reviews I read."
