    Lynyrd Skynyrd co-founding drummer Bob Burns has died in a car crash

    That band is cursed, seriously, apart from Ronnie van Zant and Steve Gaines and Cassie Gaines all dying in the plane crash, Allen Collins was paralyzed, with him dying later from complications, and his girlfriend died, in a car crash, Leon Wilkeson almost died when somebody cut his throat, and...

    Sammy Hagar comments on Van Halen's live album

    In most cases rock singers don't sound as great when they're 60, as they did when they were 20, though sadly they do tend to talk through their assholes much more when they're 60, than they did when they were 20. Though come to think of it, it's funny how I bought every VH album up to when Roth...

    Mick Jagger Is Still Hoping for Another Rolling Stones Album

    'A Bigger Bang' was a far better album that I expected after an 8 year gap between that and 'Bridges to Babylon', there's hardly a duff track on it, I don't think you just lose the gift of writing great memorable songs with the passage of time, and Jagger and Richard have been consistently...

    Sacha Baron Cohen will write, direct, and star in Freddie Mercury biopic

    Yeah Sooty I know what you mean, but what I'm saying is that it seems he's become the obvious choice simply because he bears some physical resemblance to Mercury - if Sacha Baron Cohen was a dead ringer for, I dunno, let's say John Travolta, or Bruce Willis, would they be considering him to make...

    Sacha Baron Cohen will write, direct, and star in Freddie Mercury biopic

    Apart from the fact you stick a moustache on the guy and I suppose he looks a bit like Freddie, I don't myself understand why you'd cast a guy who makes a living producing movies about fictional parody-comedy characters, and offending everyone - I mean he maybe a great actor, to be fair I've...

    General Chat Area !

    Wrong. ^^^^ I don't get 'Chat Boxes', at all, every thread on here is already a 'chat-box', you hit the keys on your keyboard, and letters and words appear, and if you're lucky other people will reply, in real time - you want to tell me what specifically is the difference between what I'm...

    Thousands sign petition to cancel Kanye West's Glastonbury performance

    This petition is just a total crock. They said Jay-Z would bomb when he headlined there, and then Beyonce when she did, but both of them totally kicked-ass, and apparently went down a storm. Glastonbury was never intended to be purely a 'rock festival', and it isn't, this isn't 'Download' or...

    Hey Soot, sorry to hear this, but sounds like you are already on the mend, so get yourself well and take care. TheSound, oops, I mean SlimSlowSlider!!

    Best Guitarist of all time

    Agree with that ^^^^ - so maybe greatest 'rock' guitarist would be a better title, question here, because for me at least almost certainly the most technically gifted and skillful player is probably a classical guitarist, and not from 'rock' at all, somebody like Andres Segovia or Julian Bream...

    Black Sabbath's "Farewell"

    Thanks for that 70's Guy, though personally I'd be far more excited if it was an announcement that said .... "This will be Sharon Osbourne's farewell appearance" :grinthumb

    What is this instrument...?

    Intriguing post!! .... I'll be interested to hear the answer, though having had somebody ruthlessly hack the crap out of my PC recently, I'm now way too paranoid to click on an off-site link, from a first-time poster, so good luck to whoever tries it!!!!

    The Wall vs. The Dark Side Of The Moon vs. Wish You Were Here

    Wish You Were Here for me, just ahead of Dark Side....both flawless. The Wall also has some brilliant stuff on it, though to me it always sounds like it's already verging on a Roger Waters solo album, before he got around to The Final Cut, which was 90% him, and the fact Waters has been touring...

    Bands that you'd rather listen to live than in the studio?

    I'd have to think about that for specifics, but for me most bands/artists sound better live than on record, or at least they should, if they can't successfully reproduce their records on stage, then they're just a fraud, and what you're hearing on record is contrived - music to me is 99% about...

    Best Van Halen Album?

    The first album for me, it did actually remind me of something else (that being the first Montrose album, which was also produced by Ted Templeman) but apart from that I'd never heard a guitar sound like that before, kind of kicked you right in the stomach, and you'd swear blind the whole thing...

    Happy Birthday Slim Slow Slider!!!!

    Wow, nice to see this the first thing when I get out of bed on my birthday! - many thanks to you! ..... I'm being treated by the family to lunch today at, possibly, my favorite place to eat on earth, the Lakeside Restaurant at the Loeb Boathouse in Central Park, so, not much breakfast for me...

    Free bassists Andy Fraser dead at 62

    Sorry to hear that, Free were a pretty seminal blues/rock band, sadly too many people know them only as being the band who did 'All Right Now' - but they were so much more than that, and I know of few better 'live' albums from the early 70's than 'Free Live' which for me is right up there with...

    Up early today for my run down to Times Square and back, but it's just too cold again so I may skip it, or at least wait a while, showing 27 degrees ( - 3 C ) - at least we've had no snow in a while.

    ....indeed... in common with the similar great lyrical depth of The Irish Rovers? :grinthumb Seriously, that's actually an okay tune, though it also makes me happy that St Patrick's Day only comes around once a year LOL .... give it a 7/10 for them being four nice family-friendly Paddys who...

    Best Led Zeppelin Album?

    I’d agree with that, it’s always been baffling why so many bands - who spend millions and take months recording an album - they then seem to put so little thought into how they actually package it, and how they present it to the public. Maybe the era of the CD and MP3 downloads has signaled the...
