  1. Jones mentions this recording in his book from what I recall.
  2. One of the coolest things I’ve seen live was Lemmy front the MC5 at the 2005 Download Festival.
  3. There was a brief interview with Wayne in January’s Mojo magazine and it read like the album is already done and was slated for spring release, hopefully that still happens.
  4. Love the MC5 and met Brother Wayne a few times, really sad news, especially with a new album in the can and tour dates planned. RIP.
  5. Slane 92 RDS 2006 O2 Dublin 2010 Seattle 2016 Vancouver 2017 Slane 2017 Vancouver 2023 (I feel like I’m missing a gig or two here I’ll have to go back over my stubs)
  6. It almost feels full circle. If they play Rollin Stone live on this tour I’ll wet myself just like a girl in 1962. Blue & Lonesome was killer and a nice take on some of those classics. It would be great if we got another album from them like it. They could knock one out in their sleep.
  7. I really don’t know if it matters but I only bought a copy on vinyl and the way the album flows makes me not dislike any of the songs. I like some better than others but none piss me off to the point where I’m skipping the needle. Even though I liked a lot of the stuff off Steel Wheels, Bridges, A Bigger Bang I did skip tracks on those albums and found some too long (B2B) So for me this is the “best” Stones album since Some Girls, that’s the last Stones album I can listen to and not skip tracks. No love for Muddys Rollin Stone cover?!?
  8. Im in no way a big Ozzy solo/Randy fan but I think he gets the respect he deserves rather than way too much love. The guy was pretty unique for his day and he had chops. There’s guys out there like Stevie Ray Vaughan & Ry Cooder out there that I don’t like but I respect what they do and done. It’s not my thing but I can see it’s someone very talented.
  9. (I mean no disrespect to the OP) You can’t have a poll like this in any way meaningful. 3 very different guitarists with obviously different levels of proficiency. Slash is an emotive player and different to the other two. A different question to ask if you want to compare those 3 is who wrote the more memorable Riffs, Solos & Songs. Musicality in a guitar player will always be far more interesting to me than the speed and tricks they employ. Randy Rhoads straddled both worlds, Slash only one & Zakk Wylde seems to be only in one world also. Comparing guitar players is like comparing different types of alcohol. Winter I want Guinness & Whiskey, Summer I want Lager & weed. I’m glad they’re all there.
  10. Best Stones ballad since Dreamy Skies Depending On You was an early ear worm for me. Great Track.

  12. We saw some good times though, times I wouldn’t swap my years for.
  13. Late 88 early 89. Right around the time my then teacher at school was giving out about them and Madonna being Satanic, we got a lot of the Satan chats back then.
  14. There was a Malcom shaped hole in the sound last time I saw them. People rattle on about Angus and he deserves the plaudits but Malcom drove that band with his right hand and it doesn’t sound the same without him and drum wise Chris Slade is no Phil Rudd. That Malcom/Phil engine just isn’t replaceable. Black Ice was the last great tour. I saw 3 shows on that tour and they were the best ACDC gigs I’ve seen.
  15. Joke band, shit tunes, Gene & Paul are a pair of old Queens. They’re as rock n roll as Taylor Swift.
  16. Picked up a pair of LDs for Vancouver and may be the plus one for a guy who has Seattle LDs. Won’t know till closer to the date if his wife can go or not. Either way I’ll head to Seattle also.
  17. 10 is kinda impossible to pick but… NIB Behind the Wall Of Sleep War Pigs Hand Of Doom After Forever Children Of The Grave Sabbath Bloody Sabbath Tomorrows Dream Symptom Of The Universe Megalomania
  18. It’s a killer album. Its a little like the classic albums were pulled through a Britpop type of sound filter. It’s got energy and the songs flow nicely together. What I wasn’t expecting were songs like Dreamy Skies which could have been on Beggars, Let It Bleed or Sticky Fingers. Or a song like Sweet Sounds of Heaven that could have been on the last side of Exile. For them to create material of this Quality sounding this urgent and fresh at their age is an amazing feat. I didn’t expect this album to be a classic Stones album right up there with the 60s & 70s albums. Kudos to Jagger for that in large part. Im really looking forward to hearing some of these tunes live.
  19. There’s way too many to list. But I saw pretty much everyone I ever wanted to see that it was possible to see. From 1950s guys like Chuck Berry & Bo Diddley onwards. For me the 90s were the golden era of gig going.
