Zal is a beast of a performer and always has been! First saw him when he played with Alex supporting Slade in the early 70's and he just blew me away! Still one of the best guitarists in the UK...
The performed Venom of "My compliments To The Chef" excellently expressed by Alex and superbly backed up by Zal Cleminson on lead with literal clown irony - you still have it Zal and a treat to hear and see it.
Zal Cleminson doesn't take much of a lead role anymore, but he's definitely one of the greatest guitar players of our time. He's a master of the instrument, and his playing is always inventive and exciting. When he's on stage, he commands attention with his virtuosity and stage presence.
Bloody brilliant at 73 . I played a similar guitar to Zals in the early 90s Just one pick up and one control With a push piull switch for tone It was a Hagstrom Love his boots !
They used to rehearse at Transmission in Clydebank at the same time as us and they were so loud it must have been painful in the studio they were in. We used to stop to listen to some of the superb sounds coming from next door. I heard he was packing it all in again though.
@@MrBillybonkers Hope ye're well Billy, I did a few spots at the Madcap was always a great night, you liked a routine I did where I was this auld Scottish wumman aff the telly telling stories about her farm and it turns into a Salvador Dali painting with burning giraffes, clocks on the wall melting, etc. There was only one occasion where things didn't work out, you booked me as a support for Michael Redmond on a Christmas Eve and we didn't have an audience so we just went for a pint.
That's a good point - although zal has quite a stage presence himself frontmen like Alex Harvey had a dramatic level to the performance as well - in such a scenario Zal can be a little more laid back as he is less likely to feel he has to "carry" the overall performance. I think you would almost immediately see a return to the style you like best with the introduction of another suitable frontman or frontwoman for that matter.
3:13 Too much effing around with your guitar at the start of the show . You should be plugged in and ready to go . Love your boots but . rock on laddie
@@andym28 Hey lighten up - he just gave Zal and the Scots a massive compliment . think about it if Zal wasn't so dammed talented why on Earth would he express that he wish he was born English instead. 😂
Zal he's definitely one of the greatest guitar players of our time .
Dam Zal is a king among performers! Right on my playlist. He’s fresh and amazing after decades, true G.

Magical, Zal is the real deal , always!!
Zal, you are the Rock ‘nest Scot I can think of. Kudos, big guy. 😎
That first song was killer! What a sound
The man can still kick ass.Even after all these years.
The only difference being, he's kickin' ass a fuckin' damn sight harder these days!! \m/ (:o)
Excellent song and playing.
Look at those shoes man. Magic.
True winklepickers.
ZAL ♡♡♡♡
Лучшие!Подарок!
Sounds a lot like Dio...frigginig great guitar rock LOVE IT!!! I was Going to a Party... Goin to the Boston Tea Party...and ended up here!!!
World class guitar as always when Zal plays, Among top 10 guitar plyaers ever...just with Paul Kossoff, Lightning Hopkins .....Get a great singer!
I'm with you there. He is so relevant now. He's playing is fresh. I just wish the solos cut thru the mix a little more.
Cheers, Sir Henry Baskerville!!!
I'm an old chum of Max's too, case you didn't know...!
You had me at "Glasgow ya bas" !
2017? Zal is on to his 3rd or 4th band since this old stuff!
brian wilson - he sure can! And the album's great too!
zal !!!!!! vive la difference
I bet Zal feels there's a part missing when he hasn't got his geetar strapped on.
Very underrated guitarist Zal played with many bands
NOBODY EVER UNDERRATED ZAL !
The kid's got energy :)

who's the other guitar? Monster!
William McGonigle
Brilliant.
There,s no denying he's brilliant but I prefer the old Zal to the shredding Zal _ more distinctive,emotive,melodic
