First time I heard the term “ squeal like a pig “ was in one of his movies.

I just heard that Mike Weiley from Spy vs Spy has died. I haven’t seen any reports but will post if they come through.

 

[Feej]

Saw this as well. Very sad.

The first time I saw the Spies was in '84 at the Hordern supporting the Oils. The next day I bought this EP, still love this song.

V Spy V Spy

Bit of bullshit that the name change was forced.

 

[carcharias]

Shit.

We play don’t tear it Down.
Bloody great band.

Spy’s FB page reporting it.
He apparently had cancer.
Not sure if this is the cause.

...and Deliverance

Was he handy with his instrument?

 

[taipan]

Burt was Mr Cool, bit like Clint Eastwood.
The casual don't give a rats routine.Chick magnets, love em and leave em.
Never forget the banjo player in Deliverance or the sound of the fat guy squealing,whilst being well and truly rogered.

 

[coolumsharkie]

Met him a few times, was a real likeable bloke. Sad.

 

[carcharias]

I saw them at the casbah and this song was unreal
Mike sang it as well.
Love it.
Couple of guitar solos
Self indulgent..

I don't think it was the Big C that got him in the end, it was the broken heart after on Rodney farked him over and bankrupted him, classy stuff Rodney, how many $$$ do you need to keep racing now?.

I know they had some great concerts at the Fillmore but did they appear at Woodstock or were they more a East Coast band?.
