    The origins and history of punk - Punk Britannia

    I've been watching the 3 Part series of The origins and history of punk - Punk Britannia. The interviews with the musicians are brilliant. They reveal what actually happened on the Punk scene in the 70's. To this day there are still a lot of myths and distortions and exaggerated stories about...

    Former Jackson Browne Guitarist David Lindley Dead at 78

    I think David Lindley did the very high vocals on STAY. He was a highly respected & much sought after musician. RIP mate.

    RUSH Commemorates 40th Anniversary Of 'Signals' With Expanded Reissues

    As a music critic of the highest calibre, I have a major problem with Bands that are overrated. I get furious when the mainstream media call Queen the Greatest Rock Band of all Time. Then the myth is perpetuated by all the morons that can't think for themselves. Queen are a trash pop Band...

    Lynyrd Skynyrd Guitarist Gary Rossington Dead at 71

    One of the most exciting moments in Rock n Roll history is when FREEBIRD moves into the fast section of the song. All music fans know the significance of Lynyrd Skynyrd. I respect a Band that have more than one Guitarist. I think they had 3 Guitarists which fills out the sound. There was a lot...

    Bachman–Turner Overdrive Drummer Robbie Bachman Dead at 69

    BTO are one of my favourite Rock Bands of all time. Every successful Rock Band has a very good Drummer. Ringo Starr, Charlie Watts, John Bonham, John 'Spud' Coghlan, Carmine Appice, Ginger Baker. The two Drummers from The Glitter Band and the Drummer from The Knack (My Sharona) Robbie Bachman...

    Farewell Jeff Beck.

    It's always sad when people you cherish pass away. Jeff Beck was one of the most admired & respected Guitarists of all time. Technically, he was brilliant. Though, a little too intricate and complex for my liking.

    favorite song from the 60s

    I've always rated " HEY BULLDOG" AS ONE OF THEIR BETTER SONGS. John's barking and howling near the end of the song is bloody great.

    favorite song from the 60s

    Whoa!! That's like choosing your favourite child. I have a list of criteria that a song needs to contain, which I won't bore you with. Yawn. I've narrowed my choice down to " PAPERBACK WRITER" by a band called THE BEATLES (Paul's Bass playing was way ahead of the times) & " GIMME SHELTER " by...

    Review AC/DC - For Those About To Rock (We Salute You) (1981)

    THESE ARE NOT MY COMMENTS - They are Sam Quentin's comments Sam Quentin said: The title track is one of the best songs the band has ever done After Back in Black, the band did get more formulaic, (but the song FTATR is not formulaic)...Their older stuff has more variety in sound. Standout...

    Review AC/DC - For Those About To Rock (We Salute You) (1981)

    There is an ongoing 'joke' in Australia that AC/DC keep recording the same album over n over, again and again. Yes, I can hear variations on a theme and that's cool. AC/DC needed to take a leaf out of STATUS QUO's BOOK of self-plagiarism and repeated the dozen styles they used in their very...

    Review AC/DC - For Those About To Rock (We Salute You) (1981)

    Hey Leslie West, great to hear from you again. Yes, I do LIKE the QUO!! (Just a bit) One little correction to make is that LANCASTER left QUO in the mid-80's not the early 80's. John Coghlan left after QUO's 1981 " Never Too Late " album. Alan Lancaster left QUO in 1984, though he did play at...

    Review AC/DC - For Those About To Rock (We Salute You) (1981)

    This is an interesting topic for a POST. I thought they should have waited a while after releasing the BACK in BLACK album. Some Bands, such as STATUS QUO, had very little or no control over their career. Between 1968-1983 STATUS QUO released an album every year. Their 1982 & 1983 albums were...

    THE ROLLING STONES To Release 50th-Anniversary Show As 'Grrr Live!' Album

    The Rolling Stones have never been a good LIVE Band. They've always changed the songs so much that they barely sound like the Hit recordings. I've always been disappointed and let down by big-name Bands, like The Stones and Zeppelin when I've heard their LIVE recordings. Yet, there are other...

    John Lennon (Official Thread)

    The 8th of December isn't the only day that I think about John. Important people in my life 'pop' into my mind quite often. There aren't many more important people than John Ono Lennon. Of the 10 most famous and significant people in history, 4 of them are John, Paul, George and Ringo. I...

    R.I.P. Christine McVie

    No words can describe the sadness and grief upon hearing of the passing of Christine " Perfect " McVie. Australia' music TV show called RAGE put together their tribute to Christine. Toward the end of the tribute, they played Christine's SOLO material. They were bright and bouncy tunes that...

    Foreigner to Begin Extensive Farewell Tour Next Summer

    Will there be any original members in the Foreigner line-up? The last You Tube of them I saw didn't have any original members. At least other Dinosaur Bands have at least one original member.

    When Your Debut Album Is A Smash

    The CARS debut album in 1978, is my favourite CARS album. Their other albums were a bit patchy and inconsistent. Their debut album is the only CARS album I own. As with a lot of Bands you can take the 2/3 best tracks from a few / several albums to make one great album. STATUS QUO are unique in...
