Well, don't be such a spastic about it then!

And thanks for the Gibbie book, unwarranted, but appreciated!

Oh my, this is right up Comrade Carlston's alley: car romantics in blonde ...



Elliot Easton is such an underrated guitarist.

In case you missed Poison during the last two decades! Or maybe you didn't, these guys are still brilliant.

I hadn't clocked this yet, but you're absolutely right, Uwe! I'll listen to Clem Burke play just about anything, too.

They've been playing another version of this Hu single for months on my local rock station. I guess you can say the Harley's do the trick here (even though I hadn't seen that until looking for the video today).

Eat your heart out, Mulan, bring on the Mongolian hordes!

Interesting how their language doesn't really sound like a Far-East-Asian idiom like Mandarin, Korean or Japanese. Closer to Turkish or Russian.

That new stripped down, acoustic Steve Perry album? You might not like Journey, but this man can sing ...

He can still sing, if that's new...
I already had the early Journey LP's and got Infinity as it was dropped off the import wagon from LHR... the record shop I temped in (in a place called Hounslow when I worked for BA at LHR on shifts) was one of the reps first ports of call on his way into London... got the 1st Van Halen the same way... so got to hear Perry fairly early on in his mainstream career... saw Journey for the Evolution tour (Pat Travers on support) so got to see him in his prime too... Steve Smith was on the drums then... got most of his Vital Information "jazz" material too...

A much overlooked "soundtrack" LP of theirs contained this gem...

The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Never heard that and I have all their regular albums with or without Perry. What soundtrack is this?

Have I posted this already? For well over a year I have been regularly playing the three "act" live Kate Bush recording, Before the Dawn.
Great rhythm section in John Giblin and Omar Hakim.
I mostly skip the third act which is a live version of a CD that isn't one of my faves.
The rest - if you like Kate's theatrical style- is stunning.
If I could go back in time to any concert of the past 30-some years it would be this, no question.
Here's one of my faves:
Basses: Gibson lpb-1, Gibson dc jr tribute, Greco thunderbird, Danelectro dc, Ibanez blazer.  Amps: genz benz shuttle 6.0, EA CXL110, EA CXL112, Spark 40.  Guitars: Danelectro 59XT, rebuilt cheap LP copy

D-D-D-Dave listens to B-B-B-Budgie.

This is a seismic event for my entrenched preconceptions.

I really need to think this thru.

He list-ens to Bud-gie ... Saul wasn't more surprised when he saw that bright light that turned him into Paul.
