I'm guessing some of the guys who like mayonnaise on their fries here may have heard of this band. Killer stuff all the way.

Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

I like their style.

BTW give me homemade garlic aioli for my fries rather than ketckup any day.

This range really sounds more natural sung by a woman.

Whenever diese Amerikaner get their hands on things ...



I actually liked Starcastle better than YES.

I still listen to Yes...a lot.  They are very creative, although some stuff works better than others.

Rush too...

The bass player plays guitar and keyboards with Blue Oyster Cult.

Yup, Richie Castellano, he started out as BÖC's stand-in bass player after Danny Miranda left for a while and then took over the position of Allen Lanier after he left the fold too (and BÖC got a variety of bassists in until Miranda eventually returned).



Isn't he the relative of someone here? He also contributes songwriting to BÖC - and occasional lead vocals, talented guy. Also no slouch on lead guitar (that's his solo from 3:23 onwards) - playing in a band with Buck Dharma that is saying something!

Will Lee aping McCartney on the bass. 
It's kind of fun also seeing/hearing four different singers doing their best McCartney vocal impressions within the first three minutes.
Will gives a McCartney lead vocal a go later on, at 11:10.
Cool fuzz bass tone at 7:00 as well.

 
Basses: Gibson lpb-1, Gibson dc jr tribute, Greco thunderbird, Danelectro dc, Ibanez blazer.  Amps: genz benz shuttle 6.0, EA CXL110, EA CXL112, Spark 40.  Guitars: Danelectro 59XT, rebuilt cheap LP copy

Nice pre-73 Ric! They way they should be. Dark FG that looks almost like BG. And a great song.

It's hard to believe that this drivel came out of the same group that produced the amazing music of Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall! :o

Fair play to Roger Waters for diligently miming to that song. I think it was Syd Barrett's last stab at a single? It's a mess of ideas, with that slightly uncoordinated guitar running through it.

Fixed it for ya!  :mrgreen:

I think it has its quintessentially English 60ies Psychedelia charm - like The Beatles on a bad trip. And it has about the same amount of musical ideas within three minutes that The Wall has spread over four album sides. Quirkiness over sourpuss solemnity!  :-*

Even though I'm more a Wish You Were Here (the album) guy myself. The Wall sounds pretentious to me. Dark Side Of The Moon is too glossy.
