    The Rolling Stones (Official Thread)

    I don't think either Mick or Keith like to be reminded of Brian over the intervening 50 years since Brian's death possibly Mick more so although Bill has talked fondly of Brian in the past from what I have read in books on the stones.

    Obscure Late 60's-Early 70's Albums

    TASTE the Irish blues/rock 3-piece that featured Rory Gallagher that possibly pre-dated CREAM by a few months back in 1966 I have read that the band formed in 1965 but most books and cd liner notes say 1966.

    Muddy Waters (Official Thread)

    No disrespect to Muddy and Howling Wolf and the rest of the black Chicago and Mississippi delta blues players but I always prefer the white blues/rockers covering their songs.

    Bernard Hill RIP

    Yosser's repeated saying of "Gis a job!" became a well known saying throughout the UK during the early 1980s during a time of rising unemployment and upheavals throughout British society in general that was taking place during the first half of Mrs Thatcher's premiership between 1979-1990.

    15 Musicians Who Almost Joined The Rolling Stones

    I have read a number of articles about Rory Gallagher possibly joining the Stones back in 1975 and apparently he was asked by the Stones (Ian Stewart I believe) if he would like to meet the band and he 'jammed' with them for two days although it said that Keith wasn't involved in these jams as...

    Cactus (Official Thread)

    I read the recently released Beck, Bogert, Appice x4 cd box set where the liner notes say that Carmine recalls Jeff (Beck) "Hated the band name Cactus" although personally I thought it was a cool name. :good

    Rockpalast Concert Series

    I've been watching GOLDEN EARRING'S 1982 Rockpalast performance several times over the last few days on a DVD that I bought about 5 or 6-years ago and it was a POWERFUL PERFORMANCE by the boys with George Kooymans on electric guitar who was possibly a bit of a 'unknown' in the UK during the...

    Nazareth Against AC/DC

    Nazareth's Hair of the Dog but to be honest even though I have Jailbreak on one of my AC/CD cds I've never really given it a proper listen.

    Taste? (Official Thread)

    I missed this thread. As far as I'm concerned RORY is STILL THE MAN!. Along with Jimi, Johnny Winter, Leslie West, Ritchie Blackmore and Tony McPhee of The Groundhogs. I saw Rory 3-times live in London back in 1988, 1990 & 1991 I always like the written quote about Rory that appeared in Sounds...

    Your latest Concert DVD/Blu-ray Purchases?

    Funny enough I was playing Golden Earring's Moontan cd/album from 1973 and a Best of Golden Earring cd/album from the early 1980s earlier this morning although I haven't heard either cd/albums for about 3 or 4 years since I last heard them both.

    Jeff Lynne's ELO Announce Final Tour: 'Over and Out'

    I bought an extended 'Message To The Country' cd maybe 15-20 years ago and to be honest a part from Ella James (2nd track on the album) that I vaguely recall hearing being played on BBC Radio one possibly back in 1970-71 and was then apparently 'pulled' by EMI I personally find the 'bonus...

    Jeff Lynne's ELO Announce Final Tour: 'Over and Out'

    The first time that I recall hearing ELO or as they were then always called the Electric Light Orchestra was on the OGWT on BBC television performing 10538 Overture back in 1971 I believe. Roy Wood was in the band but the Move (band) was still active featuring both Jeff, Roy and Bev which was a...

    What Are You Listening to? (Videos only)

    The Groundhogs Razors Edge album from 1984. A British three-piece no nonsense heavy 'blues/metal' rock band lead by the late Tony McPhee and featuring eight tracks in all including a Muddy Waters song at the end done heavy!!.

    Free (Official Thread)

    Several artist's working in the rock field have covered Wishing Well in the past and none come close to the original Free version. All the 'cover versions' lack that X-factor that makes the original THE BEST!!. I would rate Free's Wishing Well in my all time top 10 rock singles from any era.

    Roxy Music (Official Thread)

    Never much of a fan of Roxy Music although I recall Virginia Plain being in the UK singles chart back in 1972. Having said that I wasn't a fan a couple of Roxy Music songs that I did like and still do like hearing for nostalgia reasons for me of the mid-1970s era are Street Life and a 'B' side...

    Accept (Official Thread)

    I liked the earlier Accept stuff and still play METAL HEART from 1985 occasionally although the more recent stuff from the 2000s is ok I suppose but I still prefer the earlier albums such as RESTLESS AND WILD from 1982 & BALLS TO THE WALL from 1983 myself.

    What Are You Listening To? Redux (No Videos)

    Contrary to what most people and rock music critics back in 1976 thought about 'the movie' I personally LOVE IT and still occasionally watch it and even the individual 'fantasy film sequences' which overall are quite amusing except for 'Bonos' Drag racing fantasy but the other three Page, Plant...
