  9. they can be the price of having a smash album..........public might tend to think it's your debut, lol Mick So many people think Springsteen started with BITUSA. Others think Nightwish started with Once. It gets annoying. I might try this band again. Try this on for size... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxfjSnMN88U Goose my favorite version of this song....
  10. Cross of Balls HAD to be the working title of at least 1 Black Sabbath album

  12. I voted for IV because I would never choose to listen to IV on my own. Thanks for ruining it FM DJ's ..but Feedback is a close second....I mean Coda
  13. I actually saw these guys at Cobo Hall in Detroit, opening for Jethro Tull. Middle act was Robin Trower. Aqualung/ Bridge of Sighs/ Sweet City Woman on the same night???? YOU SIR are a REAL American hero
  14. I can't imagine this forum without a great laugh! In the words of the poet Robert Anthony Plant "Does Anybody Remember Laughter?"
  15. Raise your hand if you think Lorraine was in the audience at Robin's 1970 show on local Cleveland TV
  16. I have never been able to forgive Sarah for breaking my heart. But it was great to know years later she wrote a song about her regrets for hurting me. Lorraine knows my story
  17. 1) Weight 2) About a decade ago 3) 2112 hours 4) Beer, unidentifiable cold cuts, turkey legs (even though I only buy turkey at Christmas) 5) I drained some of the oil from the mechanisms at the back of the fridge and mixed it with a 2 year old fruit juice and that seemed to do the trick. #1 is kind of surprising. And so are the turkey legs and cold cuts. I figured your 3 fridge items would be beer, some kind of snack cake, and berries. #5 doesn't surprise me though. I did the same with my old one. I always eat all the cakes that's why there's never any around for long! Aye. Is this one of those new Fridges that you can watch TV on?
  18. While I do agree that the 70s and 80s were extremely fertile periods for bands and music, I disagree with the notion of there being no great bands nowadays .. It is different now, yes - but much of that has to do with the fact that record companies can no longer nurture and support bands and develop them .. Anyone who ever downloaded songs for nothing is to blame . . A few quotes from some friends of mine in their early 30s... "Who buys music these days anyways?" "Why would I buy a cd?!" "I'm never buying another album again." "They might as well get rid of all record shops." "I don't remember the last time I've been in a record shop." You can feel a sense of entitlement or arrogance in those words. Not evil or anything but definitely a bit of greed. Not greed, from my perspective, but common sense. And I'm one of those people. Why pay when everything from Bach to Basie to Boston to Beck is at my fingers for free on YouTube? Goose, you can't be serious That's like going into a supermarket and just walking out with a cart full of food when you know you can get away with it How is streaming music on YouTube akin to shoplifting? My comment was directed at Goose's "why pay" comment I love youtube - it is an absolute goldmine - for both me, and the artists that I have discovered there .. I have bought literally hundreds of CDs because of youtube since its inception .. That does not fall under the "why pay" banner though I think what you're saying is you like to support artists you discover by buying their work. My questions till stands because if YouTube is akin to stealing then the artists are the ones that need to put a stop to it. I don't think it's up to us to voluntarily try to stop it because the artist needs money. I think there might be some confusion here, and I probably didn't make myself clear, as I never meant to include youtube in this discussion .... YouTube in my view is sort of a modern day radio station that takes requests ...... What I was replying to was the "Why pay ?" comment ..... The quality coming from youtube or from radio is not what you're going to get when you buy what the artist took time, money, and heart to create . . . If someone really enjoys and appreciates what an artist has to offer, the fan should pay for that - that also insures that the artist can and will continue .... Fans support the performer, and that means financially .. This becomes a problem with new music because if everyone has the opinion of "why pay ?", then, there is going to be no new music .... With this in mind, it is baffling when some of the same people complain that music isn't the same anymore, and how they used to love looking at the artwork and album covers, etc .. All that was only possible because why ?? ... Because people would pay for it This is where my thought was when I first posted. I wasn't thinking of YouTube. I was thinking of those that never buy anything THEN look down on those that actually DO. What about those of us who never buy anything and have no opinion on those that actually DO?
  19. Why have we not seen pictures of this strange device yet?
  20. I'm not playing unless the opening act is Duran Duran
  21. This is a good choice. Watching the eagles doc it became obvious that he lorded over everyone else and don followed along for the most part. I felt sorry fo poor Don Felder being victim to that pathetic long grudge from Glenn. To be honest Don was probably my fav aspect of that band.....and to just toss him aside is pathetic. but thet really did hate each other.......man. Mick That money percentage split conversation in the Eagles doc was disturbing to me Made Henley and Frey look like complete tools years into a bands existence
  22. It's James Hetfield ...dude delayed an album for a year because he had to attend therapy daily AND filmed it. He also tries to play up the 'I'm just one of you guys onstage but literally hides from his own fans like a recluse offstage' He controls Metallica's recording schedule and all concert dates have to get HIS final approval.
