    The origins and history of punk - Punk Britannia

    I heard Pete in a radio interview about 10 years ago saying something to the effect that after John Entwistle (on bass) passed away it at last 'enabled him to play with other bass players' which it came across like he was glad about it?. Also Pete said something about Roger Daltrey something to...

    The origins and history of punk - Punk Britannia

    I believe that was the gig that The Who was officially recorded as the LOUDEST ROCK BAND IN THE WORLD!!. Up until then that 'honour' I believe was held by Deep Purple after being awarded it a couple of years earlier in 1974 I think?.

    The origins and history of punk - Punk Britannia

    What I read was apparently Pete Townshend of The Who was drinking in a Soho pub in the west end of London back in 1977 when he got chatting to a couple of 'the Pistols' who were also in the pub (possibly Cook and Jones?) who told Pete that they really liked The Who cos Pete was 'having doubts...

    ☆The Plenty Of 1970☆

    I watched that YOUtube video of Blackfoot performing The Highway Song from 1982 in Italy and I was very impressed with their performance especially that of Ricky and Charlie who were 'well into it' giving it 100% in front of a full-house of screaming fans!!. As you say 'Skynyrd' were or are a...

    ☆The Plenty Of 1970☆

    EXCELLENT!!. I really like BLACKFOOT and would like to get a few more of their albums such as No Reservations 1975 and Flying High 1976. I was playing STRIKES and TOMCATTING earlier this morning to start the day. I prefer Ricky Medlocke fronting Blackfoot along with Charlie Hargrett, Jackson...

    Chris Farlowe (Official Thread)

    Amazing that Chris even did a spell in Atomic Rooster of all bands and was their vocalist on a couple of 'Rooster' albums back in 1972-73. I believe Vincent Crane the main man in Atomic Rooster wanted a more R&B vocalist at that time and got Chris into the band and it sure sounds different with...

    ☆The Plenty Of 1970☆

    Yeah I find some 'prog' alright such as the Dutch progressive rock band Focus from the 1970s I still like them but overall I prefer 1970s US & UK rock bands like Steppenwolf, Johnny Winter's 'rock period' 1970-1975, Montrose especially the first & second albums and Boston especially also the...

    ☆The Plenty Of 1970☆

    Can't say I see what all the fuss was about about the King Crimson album In The Court Of The Crimson King because I have listened to it a couple of times in the past and even have 3-different cd versions of the album which include the (original) single cd album plus a double-expanded cd version...

    Jazz-Rock/Jazz fusion recommendations

    Steely Dan were a funny band cos a few of their 'rock numbers' such as Reelin' In The Years and Rikki Don't Lose That Number were pretty good and 'catchy rock songs' but some of their other stuff had a definite 'jazz feel' to them. Do It Again was a good number.

    Forgotten Bands of the Sixties

    Welsh rock trio LOVE SCULPTURE featuring Dave Edmunds was active between 1966-1970 with the band releasing two studio albums the first of which was a 'blues' orientated album in keeping with the blues bands of the day such a John Mayall, Savoy Brown and Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac but the second...

    Favourite trio bands

    I must admit I prefer the 'early' Motorhead and the albums such as On Parole (recorded in 1975/76 and released in 1979 as a EMI 'cash in' album) and the first album that featured 'Fast' Eddie Clarke. Overkill and Bomber are ok and of course the brilliant Ace of Spades but I never listen to any...

    Favourite trio bands

    West Bruce & Laing and Why Dontcha is another one of my favourite all time heavy blues/rock power trios and album that I still occasionally play to this day along with the follow up album Whatever Turns You On and the final live album West Bruce & Laing Live!

    Favourite trio bands

    Taste's On The Boards is one of my all time favourite blues/rock albums along with the first Taste album. I like this album so much I have a old copy on vinyl plus two copies of the album on two separate cds.

    Trapeze (Official Thread)

    Sorry to say my only interest in Trapeze is the Glenn Hughes/Deep Purple connection other than that I always regard the band as a early 1970s 'second division' rock band although that is not meant as a put down of Mel Galley on guitar and Dave Holland on drums. According to Glenn Hughes Trapeze...

    The Great Sixty Eight...

    1968?. I was 11 years old and yeah some good music was heard on BBC Radio One back then in Anglo-Saxon England. A few pop/rock songs that I remember hearing on the radio from 1968 were The Doors and Light My Fire and several others such as Gary Puckett And The Union Gap and Young Girl although...

    Unreleased Blues Song - Frank Marino - Live at the Agora Theatre

    You still can't get any of Frank's late 1970s and early 1980s cd/albums over here in Anglo-Saxon England in particular the live album from 1979 and Tales of the Unexpected from 1980 which is well out of order!!.

    Favourite B- Side☆

    A couple of 'tasty' RAINBOW 'B' sides which are 'great numbers' in their own right but were left off a couple of studio albums are BAD GIRLS the B side to SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE in 1979 and JEALOUS LOVER the B side to CAN'T HAPPEN HERE in 1981. The B side to ALL NIGHT LONG in 1980 is a Ritchie...

    Winger (Official Thread)

    I also did read a quote from Kip in possibly a Winger compilation cd about 25 years ago after some mention had been made about Kip's 'good looks' when Kip said something to the effect that "Maybe he should take "hammer and chisel to his face" to please his critics??.

    Winger (Official Thread)

    I bought all 3 or 4 Winger cds about 25 years ago along with one or two Kip Winger solo cds anyway I read about 10 years ago that Metallica use to rubbish this band all the time in the music media and then Wayne's World would do the same so consequently it became 'uncool' to like the band and...

    The BEATLES (Official Thread)

    Ha ha Ian back in 1962 or 1963 when Bits And Pieces was being played on the radio in England and we actually had the song on a 45rpm vinyl record as well as Glad All Over I use to whack the back of the settee very hard much to my mum's annoyance with a pair of knitting needles when the DC5 were...
