    New Jeff Lynne solo album in 2012...

    You know Zoom was really a Jeff Lynne solo album but they called it ELO< the album kind of bombed, true Richard Tandy played on a few cuts, but it was a solo album. They used the name ELO to sell more copies, and it didin't work. I wonder if this is why there has been the long delay. If...

    Thanks for all the support here on "Classic Rock Forum" We had such a blast reassembling the original band for my new album in 2010, I decided to make another one! Gary Cambra of the Tubes once again sat behind the producers console, and Bob Birch from the Elton John band sat in on bass...

    New Beatles iTunes commercial

    That exclusive deal with Apple-Apple will expire pretty soon, Itunes is probably milking it before Amazon and the other vendors get to start selling Beatle product downloads. The real Jewel is the remaining unreleased songs from the Reunion in 94/95 the so called 3rd reunion song "Now and...

    New Jeff Lynne solo album in 2012...

    Yeah we have all known about this album. I thought maybe he was holding off because Olivia Harrison said she was gonna ask him to spruce up some tracks for "Brainwashed 2" you know additional unreleased songs from the Harrison archives. Recently in public Olivia Harrison back pedaled from her...

    McCartney pays tribute to former bandmates in tour finale in Liverpool

    He is almost a freak of nature. 69 years old, singing lead, playing bass, piano guitar, singing songs he wrote which are among the most iconic in history. What are most people that age doing? Certainly not singing Helter Skelter while playing bass, while his hottie 30 something bride is in...

    Jeff Lynne & friends on March 9th, 2011!

    I have a friend who was over there a couple years ago at his house, and my friend told me he actually has a band and records all the time,. So my best guess is that, much like George Harrison later in his life, he loves to record, but cares not one bit for having a career in the traditional...

    Jeff Lynne & friends on March 9th, 2011!

    The guy doesn't seem that motivated to finish. I mean how long can it really take? Doing most of it yourself, the playing, composing singing, I can see sporadic sessions off and on, taking 2-3 years, perhaps. Anything more than that, and it begins to sound like a line from the publicist to...

    Steppenwolf : Top 10 Favorite Songs

    Well, feeling fresh and clear this afternoon, reflecting back, I think most of the groups, Steppenwolf,Three Dog, Iron Butterfly, Blues Image, that came out of Richie Podolors studio in the late sixties early Seventies, all had enormous drug problems, and John Kay of the Wolf, and Cory Wells of...

    Steppenwolf : Top 10 Favorite Songs

    Well its refreshing for me to hear so much knowledge and passion for the Wolf, at this late date! You certainly seem to know more than me. about it all. I did know Monarch briefly in the seventies, when he had a band before or just after detective, and I knew Kent Henry rather well, and...

    Electric Light Orchestra (Official Thread)

    Re: Electric Light Orchestra The production is stellar. There has been critisicm in recent years about Lynne's 80's drum sounds and different things. Some of his work has dated, whereas I don't think the original methods of the Beatles, Kinks Who or FLoyd have dated at all. Still...

    Electric Light Orchestra (Official Thread)

    Re: Electric Light Orchestra Zoom really died at retail. Do any of you consider that ELO ? I do, because after roy wood left, I consider ELO just a name, used by Jeff Lynne anyway, because he wrote and sang everything, and he produced it and played over half the instruments, so to me its...

    John Lennon (Official Thread)

    I think Phil Spector was sort of a bad pick as a producer for Lennon, I think he would do better with a good arranger producer like George Martin.. Jack Douglas did great on Double Fantasy, they are the only..... "Modern" sounding Lennon recordings... although my heart would have preffered a...

    Steppenwolf : Top 10 Favorite Songs

    John Kay, is sort of a normal disciplined guy, he fired Steppenwolf members for being unprofessional or drugged out, at a very druggy time in rock history, so Kay maintained a business, but he fired the people who brought him to the dance, that made him succesful. Goldy McJohn and Mike Monarch...

    Steppenwolf : Top 10 Favorite Songs

    NO I think you misunderstand me. I am not saying the music wasn't any good I love John Kays to 70's solo albums. What i am saying is the later day music whether you like it or not, is not really Steppenwolf at all, I am saying everything post 1970, is John Kay calling it Steppenwolf, Mike Wilk...

    Steppenwolf : Top 10 Favorite Songs

    To be brutally honest, after about late 1969 or 1970 there is no Steppenwolf, just a rotating group of back up musicians calling themselves Steppenwolf., of the six or seven studio albums they made before they broke up in 1971-2? God knows how many lead guitar players and bass players they had...
