I have to say that I prefer the 2002 original version of Vapor Trails. The Remixed version is cleaner and you can hear some vocal parts better and some guitar leads better, but overall it waters down the rhythm guitars and totally neuters a lot of the songs particularly Ceiling Unlimited. It's the No Balls version.

RIP Meat, thanks for the memories and the music.

Click HERE to listen now. In the summer of 1976, Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward headed to Miami to record Technical Ecstasy at the famed Criteria Studios. The band was coming off a world tour for their previous album, Sabotage, that had found their live performances evolving to include keyboards and synthesizers. These newly incorporated instruments and sounds were then introduced into the recording process on Technical Ecstasy. The new songs encompassed a wide range of styles from the hard charging “Back Street Kids” and ballad “It’s Alright,” to the funky “All Moving Parts (Stand Still)” and progressive “Gypsy.” The album also featured the single “It’s Alright,” which was the first Sabbath song to feature lead vocals by Ward. The Deluxe Edition presents a newly remastered version of the eight-track album, along with an entirely new mix of the album created by Steven Wilson using the original analog tapes. TECHNICAL ECSTASY: SUPER DELUXE EDITION comes with eight previously unreleased outtakes and alternative mixes. Among those are different mixes of “You Won’t Change Me” and “Rock ’n’ Roll Doctor,” as well as both outtake and instrumental versions for “She’s Gone.” The collection concludes with 10 previously unreleased live tracks recorded during the 1976-77 Technical Ecstasy World Tour. The songs touch on different eras of the band’s history with early tracks like “Black Sabbath” and “War Pigs” alongside new songs “Gypsy” and “Dirty Women.” The collection comes with an extensive booklet featuring artwork, liner notes, rare memorabilia and photos from the era, plus a replica of the 1976-77 world tour concert book and a large colour poster.

These three guys have very similar voices, so a poll was in the offing...

Vocalist/bass player of a great underrated band. RIP.

...20,000 days that is...

Apparently died of natural causes at his home in New Mexico. RIP Dean, a top quality actor.

Which part of Glenn Hughes' career is his best, apart from Deep Purple?

on Triller, Triad Combat!

Do you consider yourself woke? What would a typical woke person be like?

Hank Von Hell lead singer of Turbonegro has died aged 49. RIP

I don't like Sting, I think he's a dick...normally, but this is good, thanks to Rick Piato (Brian May's name for him).

Discussing frontman Mick Jagger, Roger said: 'You've got to take your hat off to him. He's the number one rock 'n' roll performer. He then added: 'But as a band, if you were outside a pub and you heard that music coming out of a pub some night, you'd think, "Well, that's a mediocre pub band!"' and Paul "Macca" McCartney said: Despite their commercial success, the group have drawn criticism from others in the past including The Beatles' Sir Paul, who has made a string of explosive comments about the fellow rockers - all peppered with loose compliments. Speaking to The New Yorker last month, he said: 'I'm not sure I should say it, but they're a blues cover band, that's sort of what the Stones are. I think our net was cast a bit wider than theirs', in regard to the two groups. https://codacollection.co/films/roger-daltrey-the-coda-collection-interview

So here is the 1976 poll, which seems like it's a popular one since I've been getting requests in PM and on the forum. Like "Where's 1976??? I DEMAND it!"

Obviously in the dream Neil was alive. I heard the album in my dream and it was kick ass! The best album since 1981 or 1980. Geddy's voice was peak quality, every song had a ripping melodic guitar solo, the songs were top quality with heavy riffs and cool synth parts, the drums were epic and the production was organic with perfect dynamics! As I was awakening I thought I'll listen to that new RUSH album again when I get up. But when I got up the album wasn't there... I forget the name of it now but even the name was cool. :guitar: :blah: :NP:

We always get the death threads so I thought I'd do an alternative thread here for the familiar character actor born in 1919. So no need to be sad, he's alive and kicking! I think he's currently the oldest actor in Hollywood after the death of Norman Lloyd. Here he is in Some Like it Hot as the gangster Little Bonaparte.

This my top 10 list: 1. Rising Damp 2. Porridge 3. Only Fools and Horses 4. Only When I Laugh 5. Fawlty Towers 6. Dad's Army 7. Red Dwarf 8. Steptoe and Son 9. Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads 10. Open All Hours

And is this album an under the radar heavy metal smorgasbord? I bought this album in 1983 and I was a bit disappointed with it after the smash hit pop/prog debut. I really like the artwork though.

Here's the poll that may end up on the gravestone of DLR!

I just thought I'd root out the Bon Jovi fans, since I was surprised to see a couple in here recently.

Which of these bands do you like the least? Bon Jovi or Damn Yankees?

Let's hear from ZZ Top fans. I didn't see a proper thread for these guys, just a few oddball ones...

Which of these new upcoming heavy metal albums are you most looking forward to?
