I’ve only just stumbled on videos of the Bands of HM Royal Marines on YouTube and have been chilling watching them while I had a few hours of enforced relaxation yesterday (don’t ask… it’s a short but not fun tale). Their range of covers is quite interesting. 2 Quote
Tiggie Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 Joe Satriani. Cliche I know but he really can make a guitar sing. 2 Quote
fastbob Posted March 12, 2022 Posted March 12, 2022 Working my way through the wealth of unreleased Stones material that is becoming available . And then I found this gem . The most perfect , straight ahead boogie you could ever wish to hear . Ian Stewart on piano and Charlie Watts making it swing . Beautiful riding music . Quote
Bender Posted March 12, 2022 Posted March 12, 2022 Never ever could get away with the stones. Have left five finger death punch on random YouTube selection whilst working through beverages Quote

S-Westerly Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 I hope not. My chief is Russian the last one on board so he's feeling a bit lonely now and a bit defensive. 1 Quote

S-Westerly Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 No, the other one signed off today and is flying out from Orkney tomorrow. He was the one who hated Putin as much as me and wasn't totally joking about trying to stay in thethe UK. Has a family in St. Petersburg though. 1 Quote

Fiddlesticks Posted March 14, 2022 Posted March 14, 2022 The random playlist threw this one my way earlier. Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Argh! How do you get rid of spoilers? Anyway... Quote
Throttled Posted March 14, 2022 Posted March 14, 2022 Danish progressive rock band VOLA. Seeing them live next month. Quote
NeilM Posted March 14, 2022 Posted March 14, 2022 Supposed to be seeing these on Saturday in Leeds. Still a bit poorly tho..... Quote
Steve_M Posted March 14, 2022 Posted March 14, 2022 I have a quite eclectic mix of music on my iPod, so it occasionally surprises me when it plays something I’d forgotten. Medicine Head were a band (all two of them) from around Wednesbury. This was reasonably local to me so I got to see them quite often. They were, shall we say, niche… Quote
NeilM Posted March 14, 2022 Posted March 14, 2022 This is a niche band. CUD. Massive in Yorkshire indie circles early nineties. That's the lead singer after a recent gig we were at. His daughters were laughing. 50 year old blokes mobbing him....lol 1 Quote
fastbob Posted March 14, 2022 Posted March 14, 2022 (edited) I reckon it's an Asperger's thing but I only like music that I can predict . Which is why I'm drawn to Blues and Boogie . Once you know what the structure of the song is you are free to absorb the details and the texture of the piece . To quote from Phoenix Nights when they attempted an alternative comedy night , " Tell us some jokes that we know ! " Edited March 14, 2022 by fastbob Quote

Started to get suspicious when 3 different councillors over several years when dealing with my PTSD enquired if I'd ever been tested...... Quote

Lucky to live in a smallish town with I few well known groups, pwei, wondersfuff, neds atomic dustbin and diamond head. Brien Tatler from diamond head along with Robert Plant can regularly be seen drinking and shopping in the town. Roberts son Logan was at my school a few years younger than me, does well with his brewery in London beavertown. Quote

Medicine Head we’re around early 1970’s and had a minor hit (got to number 22 with a song called “One and one is one”). Another little, possibly related, curiosity on my iPod is a 2003 remix of Mercedes Benz by Janis Joplin. Quote
