Music videos that feature Thunderbirds

Karl Green in Herman's Hermits was in the front of the line who wanted a non-reversed T-bird. So he did what he had to do to get one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsdMx9m1VCs&feature=share

Hey, the tug bar is finally useful!

I see a couple shots of Keith Moon's drum kit back there.

The Vibrators are still around. Drummer Eddie Edwards is the only original member.

Pete Honkamaki and his Epi Bird

Lethargic English shoegaze band 'Slowdive' are back! And their bassist is using a T-bird:



Very respectable tone from the Bird. When you're playing under a wash of reverby guitars you don't really need to battle them with high frequencies. The reassuringly solid low end of the T-Bird fits well in the mix here.

Now I feel melancholic too.

I find the blow-up flamingo of the keyboarderess/singer grotesquely inappropriate and mood-ruining. It s(p)oils it for me.

Isn't the bass player new?  When they posted the ad looking (like a year or more ago now) my guitarist had an unreasonable freakout - I mean I'm not moving to London and I'm not that great.

Ignore Uwe, the older gents always confuse slow with sad.  It's cool to just be chill and content ya know; always gotta be bigger faster more (which explains the sorry state of the world today).  It's all your fault Uwe; all of it.

But I do like happy music!





But I dig melancholy stuff too.

[Granny Gremlin]

 Morrissey isn't even that depressing, he's just an cheap/easy target.  Quite whimsical at times, in fact ("I dreamt about you last night, And I fell out of bed twice, You can pin and mount me like a butterfly, But take me to the haven of your bed, Was something that you never said, Two lumps, please, You're the bee's knees, But so am I" etc   ... I mean unless you an Incel, I guess).

He and the Sparks adore each other - he plays their song at his concerts as the intro number.

Sometimes it helps to be a tad forgetful.

Göring (by the time of the trial weaned off the morphine and considerably lighter, also the darling of his American guards) wasn't so much forgetful as unrepentant. His best bit was when a prosecutor attacked him for having known that Germany had mobilized its military in secret for war to which Göring replied dryly: "I have no recollection of reading about Allied mobilisation plans in the Western press." Prosecutors wanted that answer struck off the record, the Nürnberg court kept it in.

All the other accused presented themselves rather poorly throughout. Given that Göring had become laughing stock and a baroque figure in the latter days of the war plus suffered a considerable relegation of his political and military role in Nazi Germany, he went out in Nürnberg with a bang rather than a whimper. Even his suicide was pre-announced by him. He declared that he would rather kill himself if his wish to be shot in military style by a firing squad rather than hung was not granted. He then did.

An interesting figure. Among all the darkness tiny points of light: He refused pressure from Adolf Hitler to have Allied airmen shot at their parachutes, declaring it unsoldierly for his Luftwaffe. And while his resistance (younger) brother Albert



protected and saved hundreds of jews (and the brothers never discussed politics when they seldomly met at family events), he intervened everytime when the Gestapo (which had Albert under surveillance) took steps to arrest him.

A man with a gargantuan appetite for embezzlement and corruption, Göring wasn't so much wed to Nazi ideology (his own antisemitism was often of perfunctory nature and he protected a few Jewish acquaintances) as he decided to profit from the "New Order": He was in for that 1,000 year ride that ultimately only lasted 12.

[Alanko]

Shit, I thought that was a photo of the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show.

[uwe]

Ah, shucks, but that's ok, you probably meant the Royal Guardsmen, those profound connaisseurs of German life and their timeless ode to German military aviation, counting ...



and marching styles ...



rather than those talentless Scousers!

Lest we forget:

The Red Baron and Hermann Göring flew in the same unit in WWI so it all makes sense. (WWI, WWII & planes - check!)

And Snoopy vs. The Red Baron is Ritchie Blackmore's favourite song - it plays everytime the lights go on after the last encore at his gigs (in Germany at least). (Ritchie - check!)

Of note, modern historians consider Richthofen a closet gay. When German newspapers reported on the 100th anniversary of his beagle-induced death a few days ago, the pc comment was "no record of him taking any interest in the other sex exists" (anal sex - check!)
At least he left the poor dog alone (to the extent we know that is).

I mean how much more comprehensive can you get?!

This proves my point.

[uwe]

All your points always are.

Proven I mean.

I wouldn't dare argue wih you!
