On another note, I watched the Rockpalast show from 1980 on YouTube yesterday. I really liked Chapman on this one, even the old stuff.
He's great on that, Kade. And especially on the old stuff. He really adds a lot of life to those songs. His playing really gave them a different personality. They just felt more raw, and for songs like Shoot Shoot and Doctor Doctor, even Only You Can Rock Me, I thought he was perfect for those songs. Plus, the dude just oozed cool.
I'm really appreciating Chapman's work on Save Your Prayers. I'm going back to that a bit. That's a great album. Check his solos on the outro of Heroes and the main solo of So Long. Really tasteful guitar player he was. A shame he's now gone.
That's great album. It really is. Reading this post makes me happy that I included that stuff in this thread.
I loved Paul Chapman. As I said, when he passed, it really fired me up to do this thread.
