Music The music thread

[Spearman]

Couple of bands that I tried to learn so many songs of on guitar
Jumping Jack, I can't imagine what it must have been like when this monster came out. After the psychodelic crap from the Stones and Beatles, bang. I still have not heard a better a version that the original. Stones certainly never topped it live.

Keith Richards was my man, actually had my guitar 5 string open G for a few months


I loved Rush's first 5 albums, lost them after they went for that chiming guitar sound and synths. There last few albums aren't bad and I have a lot of respect for them making music they want to make to please themselves. Too bad they're done now.

God I wish I had youtube around in those days, would have saved hours and hours of trying to figure out this song, all of it.

best live band I've ever seen, and can thank my then 15 yo daughter for making me listen to them

 

[Vdubs]

The absolute masters of melody

Possibly about John Lennon being shot and Yoko not being able to get near him...
Excellent song with a bit of meaning

One of many songs of my childhood and it's quality.

Another great performance of a classic

Heres me singing a 90s classic last night.

For all Cats fans who live in the "heartland", an event just for you :

 

[Spearman]

mmmmm.....LPs and beer

 

[allrighty]

Here's one my crew are learning. Saw this guy live about 12 times and never a dud performance. Hugely under rated and if in yank land would have been a sensation. Great song, one of many.

A few tunes that have been echoing around the brain pan recently
The Walkabouts


always have time for JPJ


Classic power pop - it's a cover but very rocking

Summer is over for me and its back to a busier work schedule. this summer I dedicated myself to getting back into my guitar (after about 20 years of basically not touching it). Besides breaking the fingers back in, I concentrated on some new stuff:
First off was I wanted to learn to play licks in Hendrix's clean tone style, Hey Joe and...


I also worked on Gary Moore's celtic-rock licks. I like the blues, but he's beyond my abilities there.


I've been a Keith Richards freak since high school, in fact I had a guitar in 5 string, open G for at least a year at college. But I never really tried to do the solos, so I've been working on those sweet smooth licks of Mick Taylor.

 

[Spearman]

A great spin off has been going through the Stones catalog again. Beyond the classics, there are some great songs on the weaker albums.



and Mick Taylor's masterpiece:

 

[Spearman]

damn can't get the ball out the I50 out into dreamland tonight
here's some interesting interviews I've found.
Randy Bachman is actually pretty interesting, seen a few and he always has interesting stories. Great Neil Young impersonation at about 26:55 lol


GE Smith is good too. Excellent series of stories about his career and SNL.


Damn I wanted to post an interview of Jon Lord by Rick Wakeman, but its been taken down recently. Very funny chat between old friends and great musicians. Watch it if you find it. It was a part of Wakeman's Face to Face series and the few available on the net are good. Lord's was excellent.

last post some relaxing acoustic music

the amazing voice of Gordon Lightfoot


from Billy Jack


Stevie Winwood, what a talent. Love the fire crackling in the background

Little wing and Hey Joe are my favourite songs ever to play on guitar.
I love little wing so much I gotta friend to design a little wing drawing and i got it tattooed on me.
Gotta voodoo chile one as well.
Always say little wing is my oldest daughters song cause she's so sweet, and voodoo chile is my youngest cause she's wild.

I'm a mad Rolling Stones fan, still my favourite all time band! I've been to every Rolling Stones concert in Australia. Keith Richards is still a hero!

Spearman, I remember when Jumping Jack Flash came out. As a bit of a stuck-up princess, we'd go to a café after school + opposite was a record shop. Went in one day + the record shop guy was playing it. We all bought it immediately! My brother gave me the album for my birthday.

The first Rolling Stones song I heard:


Another fave + the first Rolling Stones song + learned to play on the guitar:


This is a great example of Brian Jones' slide guitar:


Another goody:


Off to discover 'Rush'.

Oh dear... not much in there that wins any respect.

When I feel the need for some serious motivation I generally go to Virgin Steele's Veni, Vidi, Vici but I suppose AFL players may not be into 11 minute warmup songs.
