Belligerent ghouls run Manchester schools, spineless swine, cemented minds

There is only one answer. “Whole Lotta Rosie” sung by The King himself.

Just been to see Roger’s Hyde Park show which was basically the same set with all the visual trimmings. I thoroughly enjoyed it as a fan of the mid period Floyd (and I saw Roger’s The Wall show twice six years ago […]

You’re dead right. I meant to say 3-2 win against Holland. But they lost a second round place.

Anyone see this evening’s BBC documentary about Scotland’s World Cup in 1978? Brought back many schoolboy memories.

The Tartan Army set off for exotic Argentina by any means possible, having persuaded […]

Never got Yes. Didn’t like the voice, the guitar sound, the lyrics, or the overall pomposity of the music. Whenever I play the likes of “Fragile” or, if you hold a gun to my head, “Close to the Edge”, I only […]

David Coverdale and Whitesnake (an under rated British blooze rock band) recorded “Fool for Your Loving” in 1980.

And when Dave became a big poodle haired rock star he recorded it ten years later for the […]

Ok I’ll play.

Beatles – Red and Blue compilations
Stones – Beggars Banquet, Exile
The Who – Live at Leeds, Who’s Next
Dylan – Bringing it all Back Home, Highway 61
Pink Floyd – DSOTM, The Wall
The Doors – […]

Excellent stuff. Sets me up nicely for Olympic Park next Friday (my fifth Stones concert in 30 years). Loved “Blues and Lonesome” so I’m very glad they do a few numbers from it.

This is about right for the first 4 or 5, though I’d have “It’s Only Rock’n’roll” well above “Tattoo You”.

Anyone else going to see the boys on this tour? I’ll be at Olympic Park next Friday. Might be their last […]

A tale of “old metal acts”.

Years ago I saw the John Lawton Band (ex Uriah Heep) in the Mean Fiddler, Tottenham Ct Road (sadly now demolished for Crossrail 1) and once a popular haunt for bewigged tight […]

err, that would be “Strong Arm of the Law”. But you’re right.

In case not aware, Saxon re-recorded the key tracks from all these albums in 2002. Here’s the whole thing

Well worth a purchase, not least for the […]

Ridin’ down the highway
Goin’ to a show
Stop in all the by-ways
Playin’ rock ‘n’ roll
Gettin’ robbed
Gettin’ stoned
Gettin’ beat up
Broken boned
Gettin’ had
Gettin’ took
I tell you folks
It’s harder […]

Just to chip in with Gimme Shelter, about the Stones’ fatal concert at Altamont in 69. Bad drugs, the Hells Angels, and Mick Jagger looking like a frightened rabbit. Fascinating stuff.

The peerless Christy Moore performing the sublime “Fairytale of New York” by the genius that is Mr Magowan

I should have written “….that the majority of the British people who were both eligible to vote and chose to do so in the 2016 referendum, voted for…”.

I think it’s a rather, as you might put it, “bullshit” […]

What a lot of nonsense. The government have been preparing public opinion for a climb down over so called “hard” Brexit for months (OR, as it should be called, “honest” Brexit).

May no longer has the votes she […]

Gary Moore and Phil Lynott: Stop Messin Round (Live).

I’ve read all the main Brexit books. Shipman’s is a tour de force. You’re right about Cameron, who was either naive about what the EU were prepared to give him OR just plain deceitful in thinking he could get that […]
