Biplanes, cheer leaders, flying guitarists and a Mitsubishi bus - what's not to like?!

Yup, those first two albums had a vibe that Chrissie couldn't recapture later on. Even she agrees in interviews.

Naw, he has a prominent bald spot on the back of his pate, but changes frequently between wearing his hair short or long. Gillan isn't the type to work with hair enhancement. That was his former guitarist!

John 5 is a good musician. Not that Mick Mars wasn't, I always rated him as the most naturally musical guy in the Crüe.

Whether religious, political or sports-related - as a teenager I avoided situations like that like the plague. Ok, school was something you had to do, but other than that I had an abhorrence for any kind of activity that involved adults or other figures of respect. It was nothing my parents had ingrained in me, but I simply thought of adults as a different species that shouldn't have a say whaat I did and that could not relate to anything in my life in any case. I was wary of them without any real reason. (Members of Deep Purple and Status Quo excepted of course!
) I didn't even aspire adulthood, I could have stayed 16 for the rest of my life.I guess that is why my music tastes are kinda stunted!

That reminds me of a water park I visited in the early 80ies in Michigan (was it Dearborn?) that had all of these "rides" that would have been unthinkable in Germany - it was good fun. 
The kind of stuff you like as a teen/adolescent/young adult when danger is still sexy. The philosophical question of course is if not more casualties had occurred without that park had people in its absence done silly things outside in the wild. There are lots of good places to drown or fall to your death if you're a reckless teen.

That is Little Simon from Belfast, a spring chicken born 1979!
He used to like Joe Satriani a lot ...
"I'm gonna be with Deep Purple some day!"

Time for some unabashed nepotism: This is one of my son‘s Californian buddies who invited him to play guitar and pedal steel on this track. Lamentably though, I don‘t hear much of a Ritchie Blackmore influence on this, uhum, country-tinged track, it sounds more like the poor kid had to grow up listening to Bernie Leadon and Don Felder all day! 
I swear we didn‘t hear THAT MUCH Eagles at home!

Mötley seem to go back to their Corabi daze which were musically viable if commercially a failure:

And creepy. There is nothing more unsettling than ordained joy and happiness. It reminded me of The Book of Mormon musical somehow ... and lool & behold:
The creators of The Book of Mormon, a musical that satirizes the latter-day saint movement, cited Up with People as an inspiration for the cartoonishly joyous style of several of the songs in their musical performance, which sends up the clean-cut image of Mormon culture.
