How good are this band ?? I think they're the best band in the world at the moment. The tunes are superbly written and played, they throw awesome covers in and Warren and Matt are just legends. I was lucky enough to see them in London a few weeks back, i can't wait until they tour Europe again, i've heard rumours it might be as soon as September !! What a band!!!!!!!!!
Can you tell they wanted to grow up and play in a power trio? Did it, too. Haven't seen then since Allen Woody died, but they were fun, if not my scene.
i bought the Deja Voodoo cd.... to see what they were like... i didnt like it... all the songs kinda sounded alike and turned out to be a real let down after hearing from so many people how great of a band they are...
I think they are another gotta see 'em live thing. Warren Haynes is absolutely amazing when he stretches out and wails. but it was power rock.
I wouldn't bother with the studio albums much. They'll give you a slight idea, but you have to experience the mule live. There's really nothing like it these days. Warren is damn good... actually, all of them are damn good. I never saw them with Allen Woody. I'm also going to see the Allman Brothers July 15th. I just saw Gov't Mule on June 7th. Warren Haynes kicks ass... he always seems to be touring with someone or working on something. I saw them with Yonder Mountain and Xavier Rudd. Warren came out and played slide with YMSB... introduced the bands and whatnot. I love gov't mule and all the allman related musicians.
