'Let it Bleed" becoming the pivotal point,Reg.Which is one of my picks for best Stones album.But with the death of Brian Jones,Altamont and the smell of a few things that were on the nose at the time,including the 60's era of bands and those who would be famous toying with the occult,there was definite change that had to happen if The Stones were to continue.

Watching "The Brady Bunch" and mentally congratulating Mike Brady on his strong,fatherly family value system. Gee I wish I were more like him,he's neato!

^ Agreed.I've been a VH fan for this long so some more waiting isn't going to be a worry.LZ fans understand this condition too I believe. Oh and VH III? What.Were.They.Thinking? Or on?

Possibly.But I'd still be interested to hear what they come up with.

That's true,slave to.Especially since the style,if you can call it that came from prison and the availability of the men therein.

Billie Joe Armstrong Kicked Off Plane By Paul Cashmere Yesterday at 4:43pm (Sun, 04 Sep 2011 16:43:49 +1000) Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong was removed from a Southwest Airlines flight this week because his pants were too low. After being removed from the plane, Armstrong tweeted, "Just got kicked off a southwest flight because my pants sagged too low! What the fuck? No joke!" The Green Day singer was leaving Oakland in Northern California for Burbank. Armstrong was approached by a stewardess about his pants being too low. Armstrong responded, "I'm just trying to get to my fucking seat". The incident turned into a public relations disaster for Southwest. The company later issued the following statement apologising for how Armstrong was treated. "As soon as we became aware of what had happened, we reached out to apologize for this Customer's experience. He elected to take the next flight. We followed up with this Customer and involved Employees to get more details and, in our latest conversations, understand from the Customer the situation was resolved to his satisfaction." http://www.undercove...icked-off-plane http://youtu.be/BkeAzqhlkNk

Keith Richards Saves UK Radio Station By Music-News.com Yesterday at 5:05pm (Sun, 04 Sep 2011 17:05:31 +1000) Keith Richards to the rescue. The Rolling Stones rocker made a donation to the small station on the Isle of Wight in the UK after it was hit by lightning. Generous Keith wrote out a cheque for £3,000 to help repair Angel Radio's transmitter, which was knocked out by bad weather in July. Radio station staff thought it was a prank when they received the cash, but are thrilled the musician has stepped in to help them. "We thought the cheque was a joke. But accountants confirmed it was the real Keith Richards, "Director Bev Webster told British newspaper The Sun. "I've written to say thanks. It is so exciting to think he might be a fan." Angel Radio broadcasts music made before 1969, and it is believed that Keith often tunes in to listen. A spokesman for the 67-year-old has confirmed he made a donation, but has not commented further.

There goes my mention ( and possible hope) in another thread that VH would be hereabouts in September. I hope the above rumour with DLR comes to fruition.New/old Van Halen music will be interesting to say the least.

Yep! You both have good taste.^

^Very nice.^

I watched The Rock 'n' Roll Party honoring Les Paul at the Iridium Club DVD again on Saturday night.What.A.Blast. JB can play any style with ease,the man's a marvel. Audience members included:Jimmy Page,Robert Plant,David Bowie,Kirk Hammett,Little Steven.One of the on-stage guests was Brian Setzer who I always thought played some decent rockabilly guitar,JB smoked him and smiled the whole time while doing it. And Imelda May,Darrel Higham and the band,they smoked too.That is some serious rockin' stuff.

In an alcohol factory the regular wine taster died and the director started looking for a new one to hire. A drunkard with a ragged, dirty look came to apply for the position. The director of the factory wondered how to send him away. They tested him anyway. They gave him a glass with a drink. He tried it and said, "It's red wine, a Muscat , three years old, grown on a north slope, matured in steel containers." "That's correct", said the boss. Another glass. "It's red wine, cabernet, eight years old, a south-western slope, oak barrels." "Correct." A third glass. ''It's champagne, high grade and exclusive'' calmly said the drunk. The director was astonished. He winked at his secretary to suggest something. She left the room, and came back in with a glass of urine. The alcoholic tried it. "It's a blonde, 26 years old, pregnant in the third month and if I don't get the job, I'll name the father!"

Lest we forget.

Just quoting your post to say hi Luke! I like the C/P union,if only shortlived.And there's many around the forums who are happy that it was. I think it contains some good,heavy,stripped back guitar work by JP,who seems to have really cut loose and is enjoying himself on this one.I don't listen to DC to hear how close he does,or doesn't come to being Robert Plant,I just take the album on it's own merits. Still got the official cassette too.

I was fortunate enough recently to watch a DVD of one of JB's LZ shows,it was more than Jason Bonham showing respect.It gave him the chance to showcase his father,who as we all know,Jason lost when he was fourteen. Exploitative? No,I don't agree. Without getting all misty-eyed over this,you've got a son that still obviously grieves for his father and has a chance to show people some of the home movies,concert footage and possibly a side of John Bonham that we'd never seen. Who else could do that,who else could get the show across tastefully more than a family member without being accused of being exploitative? No-one really. And as far as Jason Bonham's "chops and soul",the comparison was not needed.He's quite clear about who his father was. So am I.

Usually AC/DC are quoted as being an Australian Rock and Roll band,so we'll proudly claim them as that. All I can do is offer the information,whether you choose to take it on board or not is up to you.Besides the semantics and disputed points we,for those that enjoy them,can be thankful for the music of AC/DC. Agreed.

Does nobody remember the cricket "Stumpcam?".Bon Scott is buried in Fremantle cemetery he was not born there.Angus and Malcom Young were born in Glasgow ,Scotland.

I think changing your attacking has worked well for the team Leddy.The whole English approach has changed,so we'll have to try to counter that.We got over England last night, though we would have been stuffed if a six was pulled out on the last ball.

Congratulations England on retaining the Ashes,well played. So,we got done by one run last night in the 20/20 jeez 'eh,good game though. Ah well,more cricket to come.
