Air Supply

Post by DemonFilth2001 »

Watched the video of SB singing with them and went down an Air Supply rabbit hole.

The shorter guy. I thought he was around 5' tall. Nope. He's 5'7. The other guy is 6'5".

Why is the short guy morphing into a tatted up old lady? He looks awful. Does the other guy not tell him? "This isn't a metal band. Stop the tats. And quit dressing like a little old lady!"

Any fans?

It takes ages for them to do it.

saw them ages ago in Mexico. great show. all the hits.

"tatted granny" (Russell Hitchcock) threw the horns on more than one occasion. a few years later when they did shows in my area there was an interview with them in the newspaper, he said he preferred heavier stuff like AC/DC and Zeppelin.

I feel like the tattoos were just his effort to toughen up his image of being one of the wimpy guys from Air Supply.

I hadn't thought of Air Supply for decades until the SB thread popped up here. I just got on YouTube to check out a couple of live videos. In the 60 seconds I watched, it seems like (at least some of) their up-tempo, classic hits are being played with a more guitar-driven sound. It wasn't bad.

Air Supply are great. I've seen them a number of time live and they are fantastic in concert.

That is correct, and the average age is probably 73.

I prefer Aerosupply more than barely, but I do enjoy Air Supply as far as good classic yacht rock goes.
