If anything will shake off the last vestiges of the January blues, then this blockbusting live album, recorded exclusively for Classic Rock on November 6, 2014. Luke Morley, Thunder’s guitarist/songwriter-in-chief, talks us through this career-spanning CD of live delights.
1 Backstreet Symphony
The title track of Thunder's 1990 debut album. Twenty-five years on it's still a classic calling card.
Luke Morley: "It was the last song written for the first album. We didn't have an album title, so when it popped out that was very useful. It became a very important song in the live set, and still is. There's something about the intro which we find exciting. The intro is actually from Glen Campbell's Wichita Lineman; if you're gonna nick from anyone, nick from the best."
2 The Thing I Want
Track two on Thunder's upcoming new album, Wonder Days, is an in-your-face rocker that nods to their Rolling Stones and Humble Pie influences.
Morley: "It's a straight-ahead Thunder rock song. We were aiming for that Gimme Shelter vibe. It doesn't muck around at all - bang, three-and-a-half minutes, Job done. Hopefully it'Il get you on the dancefloor."
3 Low Life In High Places
Originally on 1992's Laughing On Judgement Day, in which Thunder park the party anthems to tackle lyrically a more grown-up subject: homelessness.
Morley: "It shows off a different aspect of Thunder; it's not all about waving your beer in the air. In the nineties, homelessness became a big social issue. With Thatcherism there were lots of very rich people and lots of very poor people - there was a vulgarity to that time. l can't help it. l'm a bit of an armchair socialist."
4 Be Good To Yourself
A raucous cover of gravel-throated Scottish singer Frankie Miller's 1977 hit, written by ex-Free bassist Andy Fraser.
Morley: "Danny [Bowes] and l are both big fans of Frankie. Our first band was called Nuthin' Fancy, which definitely did what it said on the tin, and this was a song we covered. l once spent the evening with him and Andy Taylor [ex-Duran Duran guitarist who produced Thunder's first album]. He was a loud, jocular, heavy-drinking Scotsman, and we ended up playing guitars, drinking whisky and having a bit of a sing-song."
5 Wonder Days
The title track of Thunder's new album is Zeppelin-sized arena rock, with more than a hint of rose-tinted nostalgia for the 197Os.
Morley: "Lyrically it's a look at being a teenager in the seventies. It was a great time to be a teenager in terms of what was happening in music. When you look back at what was actually happening, it was fairly unpleasant: strikes, rubbish piling up in the streets... l kind of remember that, but not as much as l remember Houses Of The Holy coming out."
6 The Devil Made Me Do It
Thunder press the button marked 'the blues' on this live favourite from the band's 2006 album Robert Johnson's Tombstone.
Morley: "It's a song about masturbation, basically. Which, as any teenage boy will tell you, is very important. In a sense it's the Catholic response: 'It wasn't me! The Devil made me do it!' It's really a bit of fun, and it's obviously us as tongue-in-cheek as we get."
7 Resurrection Day
Another new song - one whose upbeat approach hides a deeper lyrical theme.
Morley: "It was originally called Graduation Day, which was very pretentious. Then it became Election Day, about this couple who met at the burning barrier of a huge political shift, which was really pretentious. Then we got the news about Ben [Matthews, guitarist] being diagnosed with tonsil cancer. l was trying to find a way to articulate it, and it just came out. l guess the song is about a dark period, but being able to see light at the end of the tunnel."
8 Up Around The Bend
Thunder tackle the old Creedence Clearwater Revival classic.
Morley: "We've covered Creedence stuff in the past, but we've never done this one, funnily enough. It's just a fantastic, uplifting tune. And it's incredible when you think [Creedence frontman] John Fogerty wrote all of those fantastic hits in such a short period. No massive intellectual reasoning or relevance here, it's just a fucking great song."
Thunder's new Studio album, Wonder Days, is released on February 16 via earMUSIC.
