Bloody hell, that's going back a bit. Saw Budgie loads of times. Breadfan was a brilliant track

[paul-g]

got to be so careful because "Grandpa Brogan" will be getting his
megaphone out and telling us all "THIS IS NOT ABOUT BIKES"
so gramps here`s one just for you

"Black Sabbath" Black Sabbath
perfect, vertigo double sleeve

 

[The Hodge]

Don't recognise the guitarist..but my pic is a very grainy thumbnail ..
Saw a very young Sabbath in the 70's at Newcastle City Hall ..but its probably easier to say who I didn't see back then !
My big regret is not seeing Free ( did see Bad Co.)..as Paul Kossoff is probably my favourite guitarist

Cool..saw the Stranglers a little later in their career supporting Simple Minds ..along with Roachford & OMD at Gateshead International Stadium ( didnt really rate them ) ..by the way the tissues would obviously have been to wipe away the emotional tears of joy at the Spice Girls Gig ...?

saw stranglers at "The Halfway Hotel" Goldthorpe they were skint dirty sods
they got there set up and went accross the road for 1 lot of fish and chips
between them.
started playing spit at audience (didn`t see that) and big bert who was the disco
guy stood over 6 foot 20 stone pulled the plug and sent them on their way with
apparently no pay

 

[The Hodge]

Hope the fish & chips were good then !

I've got a lot of love for these Chaps too , and the Stunningly good Saprano phenomenon Tarja on vocals , she's easy on the eye as well ?
It really shouldn't work with a Rock/Metal band but it really does
Huge symphonic rock sound
Check out this clip from what turned out to be her last performance with " Nightwish " in 2005 , can't believe they parted ways over 15 yrs ago . My heart is still broken.
The current vocalist ' Floor Janson ' isnt too shabby mind you and is definitely work checking out

Now THIS is how to open a live show !!
Enjoy !

 

[The Hodge]

Stu ..not my cup of tea at all ..but glad you like them ..

Nice to see Johnny Depp filling some of his free time on keyboards...

Ah well nevermind , I'm still firmly rooted in the likes of Zeppelin , Rush , Deep Purple , 80's classic rock and the likes of Steve Vai , Satriani and Joe Bonamassa but do like to divert and explore

He needs the work?

 

[Beezerk]

saw stranglers at "The Halfway Hotel" Goldthorpe

Jesus christ that's a blast from the past, I played a few gigs there back in the late 90s ?

 

[RickBullotta]

Check out The Heavy Eyes.

 

[Husky430]

Not in the title, but love a bit of EDM when I'm shredding by myself on a nice bit of single or DH, something like this, but you have to listen in a bit and wait for the drop... Therapy, isn't that what a great gives you...

I'm with you there ..just not really into the operatic rock thing ..
Away from Classic Rock ..I also like artists like Porcupine Tree , Pineapple Thief , Steven Wilson , Afghan Whigs etc..one of my favourite groups in recent times is Gazpacho ..but they have gone a bit quiet recently ..Best listened to with headphones ..a good place to start would be the album " March of Ghosts " and if you liked that explore either their back catalogue or more recent albums ..

 

[The Hodge]

Nice ..but way out of my price range !?

 

[Tonybro]

Still have and play my LPs, CDs, Singles, Cassettes!

Many bands, pretty diverse, everything from 60s to present day.
