FFFFSSSSTTTTTTTTT.......YEOWLLLLLLLL.....GROWLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL....NASTYYYYY...

excellent write - up.......... :good job:

something i came across on guitarist george lynch`s website..i thought that it was quite cool...... Thoughts on Dimebag I remember the first time I met dime was back in the mid 80”s. Pantera played with Dokken a lot in Texas. There was a chain of hard rock venues called Cardi’s and we would frequently share the stage with Pantera. This was without Phil and they were more of a hair band and Dime wasn’t called “Dime” yet and his playing was more in the VH vein. I remember him and his band standing right at the front of the stage during our set and rocking out. He was just a skinny kid back then. He went on after us and just tore it up. I knew he was a special player that night. We talked a lot about gear. I remember he really liked the Randall RG-100’s I was using and planned on checking them out. I’ve run into him a few other times over the years. Lynch Mob did some dates with them in the early 90s and we partied pretty hard. I remember thinking how can he drink this much and still play his ass off like he does. I saw Dime and Vinnie at the NAMM show last year in Anaheim and they invited my daughter Mariah and I into their limo to listen to their new project, Damageplan. That blew us me away. I guess there was a lot of bad blood between Phil and the brothers. I wonder if there was any connection between what happened to Dime and that running feud? Dimebag’s playing was imaginative, soulful and technical. His music was brutal and unrelenting as was the manner in which he died. There’s no use in trying to make sense of the tragedy, just appreciate what he gave us in his life. Events like this make me long for the good old days when our rock stars just OD’d and slipped away quietly into oblivion. George Lynch.... :strumma: :strumma:

billy thorpe eh...a great and underrated performer and rock /blues guitarist..had the privilege of meeting him in aussie many years ago and watching him play " children of the sun " at sunbury festival in 1972...too wild.....two standout albums from him.. live at the melbourne town hall..1971..... " The evening's performance was captured on the album Live At Melbourne Town Hall. Thorpie remembers: "... to the capacity crowd of 5,000 and the band, it felt like we were standing on a pair of Boeing 747 engines. It cracked the foundations and broke windows in neighbouring buildings!" live at sunbury festival..1972.... and billy`s book, " sex, thugs and rock & roll " is a good read as well.....

oh god no...not another poll.....they are, in the main, good songs...but they are not the best......and is "hotel california " really a " rock " song?? my top ten......in no order... thin lizzy..the boys are back in town ten years after..i`m going home david bowie..the ballad of ziggy stardust lou reed..white light, white heat hawkwind..silver machine pink floyd..money led zeppelin...good times, bad times.... neil young and crazy horse..cinnamon girl joe walsh...rocky mountain way joe cocker..with a little help from my friends

32 years ago this December 10th just passed, Split Enz first played in Auckland, New Zealand. i met both tim and neil in those early split enz days at auckland university...they were tripped out and brilliant days then.....things change....i`m not that keen on their ballad type stuff now...saw an interview with them on aussie channel nine in which neil finn had some rather nasty things to say about his home country.....he didn`t win himself too many new fans on that one.......bighead!!!!

ode to tequila.. " there once was a man liked tequila every time he walked past a girl he`d feela when the girl then started to squeela the man cried it wasn`t me....it`s the tequila......" chorus..brand name of tequila to mariachi sounds in backround....

one of my favourite comedians..one of the greats.....go george...... ;)

he got it right on a couple of them...the cure, bowie, janes addiction.....well written but a bit pretentious and some of his choices are very esoteric......the 80`s and no metal/rock albums except guns & roses????...you must be joking....

very cool find dude........just been listening to the 1970 16 minute live version of " 8 miles high "......great stuff........ :good job:

well done to that guy........ :good job: :good job:

good stuff..timeless......:good job: Smith Biography This Los Angeles-based group, initially called the Smiths, comprised of Gayle McCormick (b. 1949; vocals), Rick Cliburn (guitar), Alan Parker (guitar), Larry Moss (keyboards), Jerry Carter (bass) and Robert Evans (drums). Their brand of folksy pop is best heard on A Group Called Smith, which included their 1969 US Top 5 hit, a cover version of the Shirelles hit, "Baby It's You", produced pseudonymously by Del Shannon. The sextet also contributed their version of "The Weight" to the million-selling soundtrack of Easy Rider when rights to the Band's original version, as featured in the film, were withheld from the attendant album. By 1970 McCormick, Moss and Carter had been joined by Jade Hass (bass) and Ed Beyer (keyboards), but the group's short-lived fame was fading and they broke up soon afterwards, leaving McCormick to pursue a solo career........
