Been blasting out Michael Schenker's Temple of Rock today, cracking album, in anticipation of seeing them in November supporting the metal gods Judas Priest, can't wait.
Going on a trip down memory lane tonight. Alice Cooper and Motley Crüe playing in Manchester. It's nearly 30yrs since I last saw either band live...not expecting the same energy from bands or myself.
Not too long ago I saw Alice Cooper in Manchester with Motorhead and Joan Jett as support. A great night - all 3 were on top form.Quote:

Had this stuck in my head for days after hearing it on a TV advert...
Not a bad track though... and Dion is another rocker who came through after years (decades?) of heroin addiction to become a grand old man of rock.Quote:

Wonderful!
Yeah I agree, I actually like the track! I like a lot of music of this genre, despite being 25, ha ha
Sketches of Spain by Miles Davis. Amazing musicianship and arrangements
Slayer and Anthrax tonight at Manchester Apollo....how charming does that sound?
For complete contrast, going to the Christmas markets first for some apple strudel and custard. Then dining out on good old 'thrash metal'.
Mmmh. When I wanted to be nostalgic I would go and see, say, the Everly Brothers or Fats Domino.Quote:

Oh I think so. For me it would be The Buggles and perhaps a spot of the Bay City Rollers. I'd stretch to a bit of Mud if I was feeling raunchy. ;) :pQuote:

If you had said Taylor Swift I would have known you are lying about your age.
I'm not sure he'd be up for that, but whatever floats your boat!Quote:

These are a million miles away from most mentions on here and have probably already made Messrs Breeze, brightside and Tindersticks violently sick. ;)
Please give this a listen.

You won't know them, they will probably fade away into obscurity like 99% of all bands.
But for me, its beautiful stuff, better than most I hear on t'radio.
That sounds great to me, right up my street, seen both these bands a few times, top quality thrash metal, ace. How was the gig Darren?Quote:

It's crying out for a soaring vocal!Quote:

Cracking gig, both bands still have it.
Was tempted with Priest and MSG for another trip down memory lane but doing Kirkby Moor fell race instead...harder on the legs but easier on the ears!
off to The Prodigy tonight at Manchester Central (aka G-MEX)...4th time seeing them, still life in the old dogs!

Well its been a while since I have been on here. I started this thread back in 2007 with a version of this track and having seen them recently they are better than ever:

Great track

I recommend the full album. Can't find album of the year thread but this is mine...

I have bought this and love it.
In Starbucks. They're playing a nice mix of Joan Baez, Simon & Garfunkel, Richie Havens and Tim Hardin. It's going well with my patchouli chai yak milk latte
