Yahoo! Top 10 Ridiculous 1980s Music Videos
I was thinking of the word 'spastic' as a derogatory term. I have worked with children with cerebral palsy and it is no joke. Perhaps it has a different meaning in the US. The videos do not seem any worse than many of the others from the eighties in my opinion. Yahoo! have created lists of The...- Big Ears

Glenn Hughes and Jason Bonham are back
After BCC, Glenn Hughes and Jason Bonham are back with 23-year-old guitarist Andrew Watt. The latter was introduced to Hughes by Julian Lennon and it will be interesting to see how he fares. A new album, from the band now called California Breed, is due later this year. Watt writes and sings...- Big Ears

Traveling Wilburys (Official Thread)
I loved the Traveling Wilburys, they brought Bob Dylan back to his best and gave Roy Orbison a contemporary platform. They also dragged Tom Petty out of his pop music nightmare and, best of all, George Harrison and Jeff Lynne were up-and-running again. With real songs, guitars and an...- Big Ears

Live and Let Die versions: Paul McCartney vs Guns n' Roses
Don't get me wrong, Khor. Slash (and Duff McKagen) tries to come across as a rough and ready guitarist, when really he has a certain amount of finesse. The Live and Let Die cover is a bit like heavy rock versions of Knockin on Heaven's Door and other tracks, which seem like a good idea at the...- Big Ears

Worst style of music...... EVER.
I could've sworn I posted in this thread and went off on one about rap, but I've just searched and couldn't find a trace. Oh well, it's probably for the best. If I did post here, I would also rant about punk rock, eighties synthpop, acid house and all sorts.- Big Ears

Live and Let Die versions: Paul McCartney vs Guns n' Roses
Paul McCartney and Wings. I grew up with The Beatles and was listening to King Crimson's Starless and Bible Black, when Wings released their Bond theme. It seemed a bit strange somehow, although McCartney has said it is something he always wanted to write and perform. There are many good Bond...- Big Ears

A Classic Album You've Never Heard
You should at least hear In the Court of the Crimson King and Red by Crimson. The same applies to everything by Genesis up to and including The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. Most things by Jethro Tull are pretty good up to and including the 'A' album. You are right, the Jethro Tull 'hits' are...- Big Ears

A Classic Album You've Never Heard
I've seen Clapton and Winwood play live on TV a few times. It's interesting seeing Winwood playing guitar with Clapton, as well as keyboards of course. There is a Live from Madison Square Garden album, but I am not sure what else they have released.- Big Ears

Black Sabbath (Official Thread)
I don't know anything about guitar techniques, but the question is a good one. I do not think Tony Iommi and Black Sabbath invented grunge, although they had a clear influence on the key bands, such as Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog and Pearl Jam. The reason is that there were other influences... -

Joe Bonamassa's Sloe Gin. I'm fascinated by the track co-written with Alvin Lee and the John Martyn Cover. His own Black Night is pretty good too.- Big Ears

Joe Bonamassa (Official Thread)
Sloe Gin - some thoughts Ball Peen Hammer - I've got Chris Whitley's original, but I am not sure Bonamassa's isn't better. One of These Days - Is co-written by Alvin Lee and is the heaviest track. Sadly, there is no sign of Alvin Lee playing on the album. Seagull - A brave move to cover this...- Big Ears
