welcome all
let's have a paah-r-tay!

 

[Anna Bella]

Kippis to all here. I grew up listening to what is now called classic rock. My favorite band has always been Hanoi Rocks but I also like T-Rex, Misfits, Sex Pistols, Damed, Bowie, Cooper, Led Zeppelin, Nazereth, CCR, Stones and too many more to name. Hope to talk to everyone here and have good time.

the stones, bowie and zep are close to my favourite all time artists.
hoping to have some fun banter around here!

Old, but still rockin' . . .

Hi All, used to come here a while back, but everything has changed now. I'm all confused! Anyway, I'm old, and over the years, I've learned to like a little bit of every kind of music. I love hearing new stuff in all different genres. Not to offend anyone, but I'm not a big fan of Rap, especially the kind that disrespects women. Anyway, my first concert was at age twelve, 1966, Stanford University Amphitheatre, Carlos Santana. My favorite concert, Jimi Hendrix, summer of 1970, Dallas Memorial Auditorium. My last concert, 2003, Denver, at Fiddler's Green, Steeley Dan. Haven't been to another concert since then. Just real busy now that I have bought my first house ever (a REAL fixer-upper.) Well, hope this place does well. I'll try to stop in once in a while and add some words of wisdom. Maybe I can become known as the grandfather of the rock forum. Ha ha . . . .

Well, you just got to rub salt in the wound don't you. I'd love to have been able to see Hendrix. That must've been Band of Gypsy's right?

You got 15 years on me. I'm a big Deep Purple fan (seen them about 5 times now from '85-'04). Did you get to see them in the 70's?

mmmm . . . .Band of Gypsys . . .could have been, I really don't remember. It's been 35 years .. .all I really remember was sitting 5 rows back, center stage, watching Jimi burn his guitar . . .I was in heaven . . .seems like it was just a dream . . .ya know, some people make fun of us old folks, but as you well know, oldness can really have its advantages, like the memory of Hendrix that I will carry to may grave . . .

hello.

my name is kath.

i had to come just to see sneelock's sex change.

can i say that... sex change? wouldn't wanna offend anybody who couldn't afford a sex change and is feeling pretty damn bitter about it.

i also see spike and angshu, folk whom i'll assume remain content with their own gender issues.

Telecat, I'm an oldster who did NOT get the chance to see DP. I DID see some pay per view or some such they did when they headlined "California Jam" and it was awesome. I guess Blackmore threw a major temper tantrum or something but it all translated as showmanship as far as I was concerned. So, no concert experiences but Richie Blackmore throwing a snit-fit was DAMNED good television!!!
