    The BEATLES (Official Thread)

    My favourite Beatles album is Let It Be followed by The White Album. As a kid back in 1962 I vaguely remember She Loves You being heard on the radio but I use to like The Dave Clark 5 and there singles Glad All Over and Bits And Pieces a lot more!. Ha ha ;)

    Former Jackson Browne Guitarist David Lindley Dead at 78

    The only thing that I recall of David Lindley a part from his exceptionally long hair was seeing him on German tv at the Rockpalast festival on stage in a 'all star jam' that included Rory Gallagher on guitar, Eric Burdon on vocals Frankie Miller on vocals and two or three other musicians on...

    Black Sabbath the ballet?

    The ballet dancers will be dressed in short black leather jackets along with black studded leather wristbands and Biff Byford of Saxon type 'spandex' bottoms while prancing around the stage to the old Sabbath 'chestnuts' such as Paranoid, Black Sabbath, The Wizard, N.I.B., Iron Man, War Pigs...

    Black Sabbath the ballet?

    Heard on BBC radio 4 on Wednesday 8th February "Black Sabbath the Ballet" yeah you read correctly. Apparently a guy who is something to do with the ballet and who also likes "heavy metal music" and that was how it was announced on the radio approached Tony Iommi and put the proposition to him of...

    Best artists to start into the blues?

    Yeah SRV up to a point but I never much cared for his 'clean guitar tone' on all of his studio and live recordings it's not biting enough for me and his vocals are a bit dead or flat sounding in my humble opinion but I do still have all his studio albums and I like Texas Flood from 1983 especially.

    David Crosby RIP

    I watched a hour long CS&N dvd released by Warner brothers about 15 years ago and amongst some of the archive film footage is a scene where Stephen Stills is laying into David verbally while David just lays there taking it!. I think Graham Nash is just sitting there watching it. Also included...

    Quiet Songs.

    Never really dug Stevie Winwood's vocals much although the Blind Faith album overall is a fairly good listen from start to finish.

    Quiet Songs.

    Quiet songs?. A whole THIN LIZZY album called NIGHTLIFE or sometimes spelt NIGHT LIFE released in 1974 is so quiet that even with the volume set on 11 I can hardly hear the f**ker??.

    Eddie & The Hot Rods (Official Thread)

    Do Anything You Wanna Do that song was 'all over British music radio' in 1978 and personally the only song that I know of there's. I think they were a basically a 'pub rock band' that rode on the back of the punk rock scene in the UK during 1977-78.

    Bachman–Turner Overdrive Drummer Robbie Bachman Dead at 69

    I read in a book about THIN LIZZY that 'Lizzy' opened for BTO on a US tour back in 1975 and that both Randy and Robbie (and maybe Turner?) were Quakers and that Randy use to lock Robbie in his dressing room every night so as not to be tempted by the rock n roll excesses that were going on around...

    Chuck Berry (Official Thread)

    I have posted this before several years ago but maybe about 8 or 9 years ago I saw CHUCK BERRY'S name advertised as playing in some back street London pub gig?. All a bit suspect unless some "Chuck Berry guitar playing fan" was paying homage to Chuck and playing some 'tribute gig' to the great...

    Best Forgotten Bands of the 70's.

    MANFRED MANN'S EARTH BAND were a bit more 'heavy rock orientated' than the previous Manfred Mann band from the 1960s and Manfred Mann's Chapter 3 from 1970 in having several big single hits in the UK during the early/mid 1970s such as Blinded By The Light, Davy's On The Road Again & Joybringer.

    Best Forgotten Bands of the 70's.

    Yeah Ian I read something about Russ about 18 months/2 years ago and mention was made of that guitar that he possibly still plays since the early 1970s and why he had those holes cut out of the body (it may have been to make the guitar a bit lighter but I can't remember why?). Also something was...

    The Old Grey Whistle Test

    The OGWT was good when it originally started on the BBC in 1971 and through until about 1976 when punk arrived and then I switched off just like 'whispering' Bob Harris did rock dudes.

    favorite song from the 60s

    "What goes around comes around as the old saying goes" Keith nicked her off Brian anyway and as for the song Gimmie Shelter it was and still is the stones best song by far followed by Brown Sugar, Honk* Tonk Women & Jumpin' Jack Flash.

    Farewell Jeff Beck.

    First off very sad to hear of Jeff's sudden passing!. I must admit the only stuff of his that interested me was his two albums Truth 1968 and Beck-Ola 1969 and the Beck, Bogert & Appice power trio he formed with American musician's bass player Tim Bogert and drummer Carmine Appice and the...
