Just ask you wife how many shoes/boots she has and if she really needs them all.
Works perfectly in our household...

Crikey... you like to live dangerously... :o asking questions of one's spouse like that is about the most dangerous thing a fellow can do...!!!

I have asked that. My wife likes to point out that none of her shoes cost what I usually spend on any given bass. I hate it when she makes a good point.  :sad:

Yes, there is an F in the intro but it only happens once in the whole song!

Twice. It's in the bridge before the lead also.

True. Twice. I'm shattered. I just listen too often to just the intro up to "... but my life!".

By the way: Thanks to American puritans, this song did not become the hit it should have because it was banned with many radio stations for the "I done the ranchers daughter ...". When Heep heard that that line was an issue, they wanted to rerecord the vocals, but being on tour in the US didn't find the time.

 Glad you caught him on that.....!

 Actually a nice lead by Mick Box tho, simple and melodic, I've always liked it a lot.

Which one is that? I'm on Blackberry due to a Denmark vacation and can't access youtube.
Sorry Uwe! It was their collaboration with Iris in 2002.

Has Mick Box ever played anything that is not simple and melodic? Ok, let's close our eyes on that extended guitar solo on Magician's Birthday which sounded like Blackmore's roadie testing his master's Marshalls. Mick is best when he sticks to melodic and simple, he's no improviser.

 All that and, in the case of "Stealin" memorable.


I'll take Box over Vai any day of the week!

 Yup!   He was a handsome man, no doubt. My fave Heep singer.

He's not performing anymore, just de-composing... :o

I dunno, even back then I thought he was a touch to Liberace for an otherwise totally unglam band such as Heep. I thought Hensley looked cool - bird of prey nose and hair to his ass. And Thain looked just like the heroin junkie he was.

Byron and Wetton are supposed to have gotten along famously well ... I wonder if that had to do with the vice they shared (Byron died inter alia of a fatty liver, unlike Wetton he never got off the drink).

 Perhaps so........

But even Dave Hill looked a little "light in the loafers"

My girlfriend told me that if I never gave her crap about her shoe fetish she'd never give me crap about the basses or the motorcycles. We both win!
