    Cheap Trick (Official Thread)

    Never got into Cheap Trick but the few songs that I've heard of the band sound pretty good anyway the late Rick Derringer covered Need A Little Girl (just like you) back in 1978 which sounds really good to my rock 'n' roll ears!!. :guitar:

    James Gang - Rides Again

    Over here in England where it is always cold and rainy all the time The James Gang cds were at onetime available on USA import back in the mid-1990s and a few years later on the UK BGO reissue label during the early 2000s but since then NOTHING. A few tracks along with some tracks off Joe's...

    What Are You Listening to Now? Pics/Videos

    I don't know I could never really 'get into' the reformed Deep Purple back in 1984 and as for the album Perfect Strangers I have always thought that was a 'contrived' album although a couple of tracks on it aren't to bad such as 'Wasted Sunsets' a Blackmore favourite off the album but overall I...

    UFO (official thread)

    I am not sure to be honest?. I did buy some 1970s & 1980s UFO and some later cds from the late 1990s and possibly a Mogg/Way cd years ago and I especially link the time when Tower Records was at Piccadilly circus in the heart of London back around 1995-2000 before they not long after that closed...

    The Best Prog Rock Song of Each Year Since 1969

    I can't do every year but the really only 'progressive rock band' that I rate was the Dutch band from the 'land of tulips' FOCUS back in the early/mid 1970s although a couple of the guys reformed with two newer guys and they are still going these days anyway for 'progressive rock heaven' try out...

    Ten Best Rock Albums Of All Time

    Not bad 70s Guy but I would change Sabbath's The Mob Rules to Heaven And Hell and also Bon Jovi's New Jersey to Slippery When Wet and 'maybe' Deep Purple's In Rock to Machine Head. On Aerosmith's Live Bootleg it has a song on it towards the end that I don't like and it's maybe a 'reggae song'...

    Hello from Seattle

    Seattle eh?. At least you can visit the grave of JIMI HENDRIX I believe the Hendrix family may have built a large memorial over his grave in recent years??. Personally I preferred the simpler flat stone with an engraved Stratocaster in the stone plus his name JIMI HENDRIX and date 1942-1970 ;)

    Rod Stewart (Official Thread)

    Rod was BIG NEWS in the UK back in the early 1970s cos I lived through it with both the Faces group featuring Ronnie Wood (The Rolling Stones) & Ronnie Lane (The Small Faces) amongst others and his solo stuff running concurrently and scored a MASSIVE HIT with Maggie May which was played all day...

    Overkill (Official Thread)

    I once had a OVERKILL dvd about 10-12 years ago and apart from the vocalist the other main guy in the band appears to the bass player (is it DD?) and I recall him saying he only likes listening to 'extreme heavy music' which is the only thing that I can recall from watching the entire dvd?.

    What was your first concert?

    I rarely go to concerts preferring to just listen to the records although I was tempted out of my flat for the first time back in July 1981 when RAINBOW on their European tour promoting the Difficult To Cure album with Joe Lynn Turner on vocals and of course with 'the man in black' Ritchie...

    first album you bought??

    With regards to SLADE in particular personally the only studio album that I like is called PLAY IT LOUD and was the bands 2nd studio album released in the UK in late 1970 when the band were in 'transition' from being a bunch of 'skinheads' (being skinheads was a publicity stunt suggested to them...

    first album you bought??

    The very first album I bought was back in 1972 SLADE ALIVE aged 15 years old and SLADE were VERY BIG in the UK at that time releasing a run of top 10 singles between about 1971-1974 after which they went to the USA between 1975-1977 and returned home and then couldn't even get arrested!!. A...

    Yes (Official Thread)

    Yeah you are right dr wu with regards to Close To The Edge cos even though I've never listened to it (at least knowingly) many music writers and fans claim it to be possibly the best YES album. I only found out about 2-years ago that Steve Howe at one time back in the middle 1960s went to...

    UFO (official thread)

    I will check it out TACdft thanx. I haven't listened to any UFO for along time meaning years but one album that seems to get several good comments from both Phil Mogg and Pete Way in interviews back in the day was The Wild, The Willing And The Innocent which I've been kinda looking out for for...

    UFO (official thread)

    UFO connected- I bought a Pete Way 3-cd box set a couple of days ago that features 3-Pete Way cds recorded between 2000-2004 and the first of which is called 'Amphetamine' which was released around 2000 and I actually bought it back then although I didn't really listen to it anyway fast forward...

    Yes (Official Thread)

    I only ever heard a few YES album/cds in my lifetime cos I am more of a blues/rocker anyway I can see why YES fans liked the album 'Going For The One' from 1977 although I kinda like the Drama album from 1980 with the two ex-Buggles guys in Geoff Downes on keys and Trevor Horn on bass & vocals...

    Helloween (Official Thread)

    Yeah that's the one that I bought back in the 1990s and overall it's not a bad listen although the boyz didn't cover a couple of Rainbow numbers that I would have also liked which may have been STARGAZER & ALL NIGHT LONG but overall it wasn't too bad an effort.

    Helloween (Official Thread)

    Helloween released a tribute to RAINBOW cd back in the later 1990s cos I bought the cd anyway from memory it featured some of the RAINBOW songs including Spotlight Kid, Since You've Been Gone, Man on the Silver Mountain, Sixteenth Century Greensleeves & I Surrender along with 6 or 7 others...

    When Live Performances Pay Off

    I liked 'Maiden' with Paul Di Anno on vocals (1978-81) cos Paul gave the band a 'dangerous edge' plus I thought his street/punk style and vocal delivery gave the rest of the band of 'long hairs' in particular messer's harris & Murray who wore either denim & leather & bullet belts a good look...

    Deep Purple (Official Thread)

    Been re-listening to WHO DO WE THINK WE ARE the final Mk.II album for the last 3-4 days and its actually a lot better than it is regarded by DP fans in my humble opinion. Back in the middle 1970s when I first played it I didn't rate it much after hearing MACHINE HEAD & MADE IN JAPAN but maybe...

    1970s Blues/Rock bands

    I totally agree Blues-Rocker and I personally like the 'no showbiz attitude' which is totally opposite to 99% of today's medioker 'celebrity chasing darlings' who follow the latest trends and are always wanting to be talked about on social media and in the established media, those creeps make me...
