The future I come from no longer exists.

Looks like Agnew's T'bird had a Mudbucker in the bridge slot...?

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...

Apologies if this was posted already. Maybe I should look for a gig in a Mott tribute?



Song starts @ 35 seconds in.

I was amazed when it came out that Chris Spedding suited up as one of the Wombles.

Rolling Stone did an interview and article on Spedding way back when.  I first got into Spedding via Jack Bruce.  During those early/mid '70s years, it was said that Spedding was on 80% of the top ten hits in the UK at any given moment.  He was in The Wombles, Jesus Christ Superstar, Jack Bruce, Sharks, and more session work than you could imagine.  For a brief time, he was in Chicago with a project that included Jon Brandt from Cheap Trick.  Spedding doesn't like commercial cigarettes, and will reroll the tobacco into different papers.

UFO with a TBird, but what's new about that? Well, it's not a Rev one and it is played by Paul Gray and not the usual waysted suspect. The Misdemeanor line up with Atomic Tommy on lead guitar. Dumb name, but I actually saw that particular line up and they were very good, emegetic and enthusiastic which this vid does not quite show, good ole Phil is obviously somewhat sedated.

We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

I'll issue you with a yellow card for that video, but commend your excellence with the title inference... ;D

What's wrong with Iron Maiden? In a way they are the Status Quo of heavy metal. I think they haven't progressed really as songwriters (as one critic once said: "There are two types of IM songs, ones that start fast and slow down in the middle and others who start slow and then get real fast.") and never reached the elegance of, say, Judas Priest in their best moments, but I respect IM for their work ethic. And that they still bring out new stuff (which in my ears sounds largely like their old one though  :mrgreen: ) and play it live too even if their fans would prefer them to do the greatest hits package. Dickinson is not a great sinner (LOL, Freudian Slip, I meant to say singer!), on one hand more operatic than Halford, on the other hand less, but I like him as a man. He's not full of himself like, say, Geoff Tate.

I do have the new Steve Harris album but haven't heard it yet.

I'm surprised you missed that one... ;D

The infraction was posting for effect only and no T'bird content - Mr Harris has used a lookie-likey but has he ever been seen with any type of Gibson...?

He's happily married to his P Bass but didn't he have a boutique TBird for a while which didn't see much stage action?

A Lado Unicorn:


He used it on "Aces High" video IIRC. His Ibanez RS-824 was also featured in videos for "Run To The Hills" and "The Trooper" but never seen it played on stage.

Steve did have a '76 T-Bird, it's (almost) visible on the back cover of the first album.
