    # If Hendrix was still Alive?

    I read not to long ago that Billy Cox claimed that a number of songs that appeared after Jimi's death that appeared on the vinyl albums such as the Cry of Love & Rainbow Bridge were co-written by Jimi and himself and therefore if Jimi had lived those songs would have been credited as HENDRIX/COX...

    # If Hendrix was still Alive?

    I can't really comment on Jimi at 82 because I can't even picture him at that age although he would no doubt be regarded as "ROCK ROYALTY" by everyone in the music business these days and in the same league as sir Paul McCartney, Elton John & sir Mick Jagger. Also with regards to mention of...

    The BIG NAME on 1980s Sunset??

    Hi Magic, firstly Sebastian Bach didn't say that Dio was the BIGGEST NAME on Sunset Strip that was my mistake so if Sabastian reads this sorry dude. What was being said and implied was on Sunset Strip DIO was 'the man' and all the LA bands in the 1980s 'looked up to him' but I though OZZY was...

    Review Deep Purple- Burn (1974) ****

    The album Made In Europe recorded at Ritchie's final gigs in Deep Purple in April 1975 was in the past occasionally panned by critics because some of it was suppose to have been 'touched up' in the studio and at the end of the final song Stormbringer the audience applause is a 'tape loop' but...

    Jimi Hendrix Experience (Official Thread)

    Yeah I am aware of "Tappy" Wrights book although I have never read it but I am aware of his comments regarding Mike Jeffries alleged remarks about Jimi's death.

    Black Sabbath to reform?

    I saw on the front page of a UK newspaper two days ago (February 2025) that Black Sabbath with Ozzy are to reform again although I didn't read the newspaper article in full but just read the first a few lines saying that Ozzy who is now 76 was diagnosed with dementia six years ago. If this is...

    Singer and actress Marianne Faithfull dies at 78

    I am guilty as others when it comes to Marianne because she was and will be always associated 'in my mind' with 'the stones' and Mick Jagger and also the mid/late 1960s scene in London. Also along with two very good songs she recorded the first As Tears Go By and Sister Morphine as well and with...
