Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx Any one bored yet

Been thinking seen Foxx and Gorden a good few times now. Wouldnt you all like a different kind of show ? Maybe a different set up .

I've only seen them live once so I'm not bored
yet.

What would be nice is if the T-shirt gig had Robin Simon & Billy Currie as guests for any Ultravox tracks;)

I know,I can dream.

i've never seen them live, so...

Id like that also I do find it rather static now.

I think John and Louis have a great partnership, so I've never got bored but I suppose it would be nice if there was ever a guest appearence at a concert. I'm dreaming as well. Peter

I would be more than happy to be a guest synth player for the shows!

I haven't seen them live yet, but seen hundreds of photos, and vids!

I think that they should wear something different too. I've never seen John in a t-shirt, and as he just seems to be wearing black all the time, a change might be good! Yeah, jeans and a t-shirt - something informal!

It is a rather static stage show, and while it suits the simplicity of some of the songs, it leaves others feeling empty. I guess you can only watch two men hidden behind keyboards for so long without getting bored. it's not like there's a stunning light show to go with it either.

Personally, I would like to see more of a visual element incorporated in to John and Louis' shows. Now I know John has already started this with his CO and TCM gigs, and I believe some projections were used in last year's summer tour on one of the gigs. Maybe this is just the beginning.

So I think we need more of that. Given that John doesn't like being the frontman, he's not going to be standing a the front of the stage at the mic any time soon, so I think the "Kraftwerk approach" would work well. So many of John's songs are visual and could be brought even more to life when played live by accompanying imagery.

Bring on the Dancing horses , Just do something different Mr Foxx as i love you loads.

I dont see what else he could do without spending some money.

Hmm..Unless,dress up as a flowerpot man like Peter Gabriel did in the 7 ages of Rock Doc;)

Or become Ziggy Foxx & the Grey Suits from Mars:)

Interesting observation.

I don't think seeing John and Louis would ever be boring!! I've also seen quite a few gigs and I think it works really well.

having said that, I have only seen them performing with video accompanient once I think, so it would be good to explore that.
