I read a couple of decades or more ago that Frank was in a hospital bed and was seriously in a bad way but the spirit of Jimi Hendrix visited him and gave him the power to play electric guitar the same way as Jimi even though Frank had never picked up an electric guitar before??.
When it comes...
Not a band that I would normally bother listening to (and I never do) and I only know of them through a slight connection with Thin Lizzy back around 1977-78 especially when 'Lizzy' played Dancing in the Moonlight and Philo would announce from the stage after the 'Saxophone break' "From the...
They had their own audience and I have a 'best of' cd on Virgin records of the band but I got that cd mainly cos it has Theme One on it that I recall use to open BBC Radio One at the dawn of the day at 5:30 am back in 1972 when I was already up and going out to work just after 5:30 am so that...
The 1980s Randy California albums I like include Euro/American from 1982, Shattered Dreams from 1987 & Restless from 1990 and another album that I like is Tent of Miracles from 1990/91 which is one of those albums where every song follows on nicely with the next song and I especially like the...
I didn't realize XTC had a large entry in Wikipedia cos the only song that I knew was Making Plans For Nigel which was a 'hit' for them here in the UK back in 1979 and obviously received a lot radio air play back then.
When it comes to Randy California & Spirit the earlier albums don't do much for me although yeah Dr. Sardonicus is ok but I prefer Randy California's Kapt. Kopter and the Fabulous Twirly Birds album from 1972 and Randy's albums from the 1980s & 1990s
Yeah I heard about Dave passing on the radio and knew he was a founding member of the British rock band TRAFFIC along with Stevie Winwood, Chis Woods & Jim Capaldi back around 1967/68 and also Dave was a early member of Derek & the Dominos along side Eric Clapton anyway I picked on his debut...
Funky Junction (Thin Lizzy) play a tribute to Deep Purple..
I have been listening a few times yesterday to my cd copy of Funky Junction plays Deep Purple and it's actually pretty good considering it was recorded back in 1972. The album was the idea of a German producer who apparently contacted...
Another good appraisal BlueRocker.
With regards to all things 'Lizzy' firstly I bought the Mark Putterford book on Thin Lizzy back in the mid/late 1990s which I still occasionally read which deals with everything from the beginning to the end of Phil Lynott & Thin Lizzy and last night I was...
That was a nice piece of writing BluesRocker
With regards to Thin Lizzy overall I do like the early period with Eric Bell on guitar and the first three albums although I guess some fan's ignore those albums also I like the couple of singles that Gary appeared on soon after Eric left. The...
With regards to 'Killer On The Loose' firstly yes it's a great stand alone song and yes I do recall actually hearing a woman on the radio condemning the song lyrics when the song was released back in 1980 but from memory Phil said in response that the song lyrics were 'warning' women to be...
Sounds interesting I shall keep an eye out for that release because I know that Joe rated Rory a lot and I also recall about a year or so ago that Joe played Rory's battered old strat on stage in London courtesy of Donal Gallagher Rory's brother anyway I recall Joe performed either Walk On Hot...
I actually like CHINATOWN and play it quite often and more so than BLACK ROSE & THUNDER AND LIGHTNING. The 2nd album that Snowy was on RENEGADE it's ok but I don't play it that often although saying that about 6-months ago I played the Renegade cd for about 3-days straight continuously??. The...
