Box is a weird term for pussy but I guess I can see where it comes from. I mean, you can put things in a box, like you can put things in a vagina. So why not? Still, I find it weird and I don't think I'm alone.

This is gonna be short and sweet, like my love making, cuz it's 1:42am and I wants to sleep.
Showed up at 8:30, the stage was a tiny improvised area between the bar and the windows overlooking the sidewalk. This bar never has shows, other than the rare acoustic gig, which is what tonight was, Adam Bomb is in the midst of a Euro acoustic tour.
Anyways, his Marshall halfstack is nevertheless set up and there's his guitar leaning up against it. Both have bitchin LED lights all over them. Props to AB for coming up with that gimmick, I might copy him.
Before the show, AB is walking around selling raffle tickets to win a tshirt or CD. I buy 4 tickets (after the gig, some tall French fuck won the tshirt, all good, the Rock Life Fuck shirt in big letters is tacky and the other one is just a copy of Motörhead's March or Die cover).
Show starts. It's just AB playing a 12-string and singing. There's a snare drum set up next to him, so I assume that's for an electric set that will follow the acoustic set.
First song is Hard Luck Woman (Kiss). Sounds good... he plays a few more tunes, including VH covers of Ice Cream Man and In a Simple Rhyme. The latter was an awesome surprise, I'm a yuge VH fan and have never heard that song live ever... He also played Stones' Angie but changed the name to Margie or something for someone in the audience. And another tune from one of his albums (he said that Nicky Hopkins played on it on his record, I'll take his word for it). 45 minutes later, some lady staff member runs up in front of the stage and has AB turn off the amp because the police is outside, so he continues with the amp off. But 2 minutes later she announces that the show is done. Fun's over. It wasn't that loud but I guess that there are actual humans living upstairs above the bar...
AB's dog Pip was there too, he's a hit with everyone, total chick magnet. Attendance was pretty slim. I think half of those there must have been friends of the drummer (who's French and has a bunch of friends in Paris).
That is all. Bonsoir.

Dammit I clicked on this hoping to see AB covering Dr. Feelgood. Oh well, thanks for the review. Also, how do these venues book these gigs without knowing the popo won't come? I went to see a RHCP tribute in Germany years back and same thing happened. Show got shut down. Too loud. WTF?? This kind of crap doesn't fly in America!

Did you talk to AB at all and swap Sludge stories?? Not really... I asked him if he had any books left for sale, he checked and they were fresh out. After the show I saw him reaching for a cigarette, and I was jonesing, so I asked him if he'd sell me one for 5 euros, he gave me two! I did talk with his French manager, Philippe Dutilleul (maybe *ech* knows him?), who said he was going to organise some sort of VH tribute concert on a farm in the suburbs (78) in a year or two and that AB would be the main act. I went up to him as I thought he was Lucas Fox, Motörhead's originally drummer, who lives in Paris or nearby and is often spotted about town haha... |

Sounds like Bomb and the club owner tried to pull the ol' switcheroo - the gig was billed as an "acoustic" set and started out that way, then AB started to Rock Like Fuck and that's when the gendarmes came. |

I was surprised as it wasn't that late when he got shut down, 9:30 pm... It was especially lively last night as the new batch of Beaujolais wine just got released, so a lot of Parisians were out in the streets, on the sidewalks and standing in front of the bar. It was a crapshoot. I guess the neighbours thought it was unusually loud/busy for a Thursday and they have the police on speed dial! |

But they didn't even get to the electric portion of the set yet! The bass player hadn't even plugged in yet and the drummer only did the intro to In a Simple Rhyme. Merde! |

So, are these the type of places the REO will play if/when he mounts his "European Tour"?

The last Tuff or solo show I know of was a few years ago way way way way out in the suburbs, a killer venue called the Pacific Rock. Unfortunately, it's in some industrial zone, and unless you have a car and live in the burbs, it's a nightmare to get to. I only went there once to catch a show, and also played there once (attendance was dismal)...
I don't see him playing the Dr. Feelgood. Maybe his guy in Shemales has some connecions with other venues, who knows, but I think his prospects in Paris are bleak. Amazingly, I caught Jetboy at a bar in Paris about 12 years ago, but whoever promoted that show prolly lost money...

UPDATE: It seems that later on that night, AB took his guit over to the other Dr. Feelgood bar (located about 100 yards around the corner) and continued playing. By that time I was probably back in my neighbourhood drinking at another fine establishment. Some footage of him playing his Je T'aime hit: www.facebook.com/reel/366736099076550 |

Wait now I'm really confused. So there's two bars both named Dr. Feelgood within 100 yards of each other? Maybe Bomb was confused and when to the wrong one to begin with...

Yup, a convenient 1-minute walk between the two! The bigger Dr. Feelgood that he played at was called Les Furieux until a few years ago, when the owner died and the owner of the smaller Dr. Feelgood took over it. So the original and smaller one is now called the Dr. Feelgood Rock Beer Temple, and the newer, bigger, flashier one where AB played his main set is called the Dr. Feelgood Rocket. |

Does he just pick up a local bassist and drummer when he does these "tours" of his?

I know that his drummer is French (Paris region) and is doing this full tour, I don't know anything about the bass player, and no idea if they did the recent shows in the US/Mexico...
Metal Archives doesn't have much info, other than he just turned 60 this summer (!) and played live with Steeler back in 1983...
