Music videos that feature Thunderbirds

[Basvarken]

Well, it is the appropriate bass for it

The way that broke off, it must have had some cracks before.

That other chap with the cigarette, is he the bass player of that Irish band? I've heard he's not very good at all.

Waiting, anticipating ...

Some patience please. Tom will come to the rescue of Adam soon enough. He always does.

I sent a letter explaining our little back and forth to Mr. Clayton's management. I told them in no uncertain terms that a quantity of (1) vintage T-Bird (reverse of course) will keep me defending the artist. Well, no T-bird yet, so he is on his own!

Nice. Didn't the piano player perform on the original of Stairway to Heaven?

Shucks! Such a thorn twist in your side, on a bed of nails they've made you wait, but through the storm you'll reach the shore: with or without it ...

Are you suggesting that LZ may possibly have borrowed something from another band? Perish the thought! 

[uwe]

I would never say anything bad about Led Zep. A fine band, immaculate in instrumental execution with socially aware, down-to-earth lyrics, a light-touch drummer gliding through the music, selflessly committed to songwriter ownership (especially their own) and no sense of grandeur at all. Criminally underrated. Especially the sax player.

This fellow is on the FB Thunderbird group.

Say hello from us!

He got a lot better after he went to great Patrick Pfeiffer for lessons.  I've been taking lessons from Patrick on and off for over 15 years.  He's amazing.  And you'd like him. He's German.

I was just pulling PROG-Tom's leg, he's complained in the past that all online discussions of U2 eventually end in ...

no ... not nein! ... / : - = (

... but in Adam Clayton being a bad bassist. I have no issues with his playing either way. If you were raised on Deep Purple like me, pondering whether U2 have noteworthy instrumental skills doesn't really register on your radar. They're aural stylists adept at giving the illusion of depth to the nothingness permeating their music, which is fine. Their contribution to the electronic delays and loops industry cannot be underestimated, perhaps they should have called themselves BOSS 2, but I prefer listening to Made in Japan.



Yet certainly Naomi felt that Adam's fingerplay left nothing to be desired so who would I be to criticize?

[Ken]

Now if U2 did a Deep Purple cover, that would be something.  Not sure what that 'something' would be, but it would be something.

Despite my previous slamming, they captured this one well, better than anybody else I can think*** of:
