Tangerine Dream (Official Thread)
Anyone heard "220 volt live"..? It's my favourite TD album even though it's very un-TD in the most classic sense. It's loaded with guitar solos and riffs. It even has a cover of Purple Haze at the end. Other faves are Force Majeure and the Near Dark soundtrack- Schmetterling

Thin Lizzy (Official Thread)
Ah Thin Lizzy - what a band. Robbo was a real hero round our way back in the day because he had gone to our school - Williamwood High School in Glasgow, which was a zoo back in the 70s.... Saw them on their first tour with the classic line up at Glasgow Apollo supporting BTO on 1st May 1975...- Schmetterling

U. F. O. (Official Thread)
Saw 'em at Glasgow Apollo in 1978 with Schenker just before he left, and again in '79 with that bloke from Lone Star who came in as Schenkers replacement. The '79 show was a bit disappointing for obvious reasons.....no Schenker, no flying V etc....- Schmetterling

MAHOGANY RUSH ( Offical Thread )
I think Mahogany Rush were one of those bands who never quite made it as big as they perhaps should have. If memory serves, they were somewhat criminally underrated back in the 70s and I'm as guilty as anyone else for largely ignoring them at the time and I bloody well wish I hadn't. Great...- Schmetterling

Review Black Sabbath - Technical Ecstacy VS Never Say Die
Of the two albums listed : Technical Ecstasy - but I have to add that I really don't think much of either of these albums and even back then thought that they were on a decline which began with Sabotage. The first 5 albums were the actual Sabbath classics and after that...well, they were just...- Schmetterling

What classical would you suggest to a rock fan
Tricky one.... Anything by Mozart is probably about the most accessible to the new listener - particularly the symphonies, and if you want to listen to some spectacular vocal work try his operas - Die Zauberflöte is probably the most well known. If you like piano, try Chopin or there is also...- Schmetterling

What's the most overrated classic rock song?
Personal taste I suppose. I don't really rate Led Zep all that highly but Led Zep 4 was probably their high point and I love this song and have never gotten sick of it. Their best song without a doubt (in my opinion)- Schmetterling

Show us your axe
And........... 1979 Vantage VP700 which was made in the old Matsumoku factory in Japan. I got this for peanuts on ebay and it's totally beat up. It was a wreck when it came to me and cosmetically still is but after cleaning it up and putting some new control knobs on, I plugged it in to...- Schmetterling
