    Back to the Future - band audition

    Here it is, the cover of the track that drove me wild when I first watched Back to the Future (and on every subsequent rewatch). :D Pinheads - Power of Love

    ABBA (Official Thread)

    Absolute dross. Clearly speaking with no knowledge of their compositions. They experimented with them on a few tracks, mainly as the 80s dawned, but were primarily a live instrument band.

    ABBA (Official Thread)

    I just caught this: In no way did they have a formula, Benny and Bjorn were constantly pushing the boundaries and experimenting and as I explained in my previous posts, covered much ground and man genres, instrumentally and compositionally. To see them as a singles band is to do them a gross...

    ABBA (Official Thread)

    Also, here are some killer metal covers. It should be noted that the best covers are those that play the songs straight and treat them with reverence. Also, here are some killer metal covers. It should be noted that the best covers are those that play the songs straight and treat them with...

    ABBA (Official Thread)

    I haven't read the full thread yet s apologies if I am repeating what others have said. ABBA were a phenomenal band and my favourite of all time. The songwriting on Ulvaeus and Anderson was incomparable, better than anyone IMO. in fact, one of the reasons I like Judas Priest so much (my fave...

    Everything 80's Metal Hair Bands Related

    This is a thread after my own heart - however I despise the term "hair metal" as it's a nonsensical phrase that along with "glam metal" means nothing and is contradictory (though both are very popular across the pond). Growing up in the 80s I was spoilt: rock was mainstream, all the legends...

    What's Your Favorite Guitar Brand?

    For the longest time my favourite was Hamer. They produced amazing, high-end superstrats yet weren't as 'obvious' a brand as Jackson, Charvel, BC Rich, Ibanez etc. However, they changed tack in the mid 90s and as much as I didn't want to concede to Ibanez's dominance of the marketplace, their RG...

    Here I Go Again - Whitesnake

    Thanks! I rarely see the point in doing note-for-note covers (though there are exceptions) and feel it's imoportant to put your own stamp on things. And fingertapped down-sclae works just fine ;)

    Ding dong!

    Hi all, I'm a 30-something heavy rock guitarist and teacher looking to click with like-minded people. I used to play professionally and was lucky enough to tour all over Europe. Fave bands? Well, I wish it was permanently 1992 so maybe you can figure out I love everything 80s, especially late 80s.
