  1. Rest In Peace William Hurt Aged 71, from Terminal Inoperable Prostate Cancer. He lived with it for 3-4 years.. Watching Altered States in his memory right now. Still a favorite of mine. A brilliant actor.
  2. Deflategate was all bullshit folks.. The New England Patriots lost a 1st and 4th round draft pick, they were fined a million dollars... they have been wrongfully called "cheaters" for the past 7 years and Tom Brady had to serve a 4 game suspension likely because he had photos of his supermodel wife on his phone he didn't want some snoopy investigator drooling over.. It was all a big fat lie.. I hope Roger Goodell gets fired or heavily fined.. or suspended even .. hopefully more to come on this farce... like an apology and maybe some compensation for The Patriots and Tom Brady.
  3. They beat New England pretty soundly.. that first interception hurt bad... 14 point swing right there.. and it was game over with the turn over in the 3rd. The bi-week... killed their momentum, which is odd. If the Bills play as good as they did last night, they could win it all. Not sure how consistent they are though. They're due, a very good team and their fans are loyal, so best of luck. Thanks... We were lucky both my Wife and I. Mild temperature for 2-3 days, mostly very tired.. The fatigue lasted about 3 weeks.. My youngest and her Husband got it a few months earlier. They did ok too.
  4. hi Rick. We're good thanks. Hope you and your Family are well. We both had Covid in September.. We were lucky we didn't get it too bad. Tom Brady was pretty much a rookie when he stepped in for Drew Bledsoe. It was his second year, but he didn't really play at all his first year... but yeah, point taken.. The Patriots haven't been the same since the Bi-week, they went from 7 wins in a row to 1-3... but we'll see what happens.. Pretty one sided game so far..
  5. 60 minutes of football Rick. There's no mercy rule in professional sports... That worst team in the NFL just kicked the crap out of the Colts.. Any Given Sunday.. Besides, did you call out the Bills for running up the score against the Texans 40-0? or the Jets 45-17? oh and Happy New Year
  6. Rest In Peace John Miles, aged 72. after a brief illness. John appeared on Jimmy Page's Outrider album and Tour in 1988. He handled Robert Plant, Chris Farlowe, and Paul Rodgers vocal ranges pretty flawlessly. John also worked with Tina Turner, Allan Parsons, Grace Jones as well as a respectable solo career..
  7. Rest In Peace - Brand X Guitarist and founder John Goodsall Rest In Peace Moody Blues Drummer and co-founder Graeme Edge age 80
  8. I believe John Paul Jones ran his Bass through a Leslie cabinet on Heartbreaker.. Different effect.. Huge sound.
  9. "The members of the band KANSAS, past and present, wish to express our deepest sorrow over the death of our bandmate and friend, Robby Steinhardt. Robby will always be in our souls, in our minds, and in our music. What he brought to us as bandmates, to the fans who attended our concerts, and to the sound of KANSAS, will always be heartfelt. We love him and will miss him always." KANSAS
  10. Thanks Walter! I appreciate it. Nice to see you as well.
  11. Absolutely Walter.. I could have gone on the rest of the night .. there's so many
  12. ok 30 movies that most American's have seen.. yeah I know some are already mentioned..that's why I went with 30 .. King Kong (1933) Jaws Close Encounters of The 3rd Kind Rocky E.T. Ben Hur Star Wars Episode 4 Psycho Jurassic Park It's A Wonderful Life Planet Of The Apes (1968) Batman (1989) Mean Girls (Daughter's idea) Fargo Animal House National Lampoon's Vacation Wizard Of Oz Ghost The Shining Godzilla (1956) The Sound Of Music Mary Poppins The Lion King Toy Story Forrest Gump Frankenstein (1931) Dracula (1931) The Godfather Back To The Future Willie Wonka And The Chocolate Factory
  13. Now how cool is that.. Jimmy and Chris Slade had both worked with Tom Jones at one point or another..
  14. Looks like that's correct. It was changed for CD releases from traditional to Anne Bredon. When I looked up the Joan Baez In Concert release, It listed Anne Bredon as the writer.
  15. All the ones mentioned already... But especially Friends into Celebration Day is pretty awesome.. and as mentioned all from an accident. Studio pros at their best. On the 4 CD Boxed set, there was a cool transition from the Bonzo's Montreaux / Moby Dick remix right into I'm Gonna Crawl. On the Walking into Clarksdale tour, they went from How Many More Times (the descending part right before "Oh Rosey") into What Is and What Should Never Be. perfect transition..I know it says Studio but this really stood out...
  16. Joan Baez gave Ann Bredon credit for BIGLY .. so she was in the clear. The Small Faces did not give Willie Dixon credit.
  17. I don't think anybody said "only made it because of Dave" ... I know I didn't. His drumming certainly made them more commercial. Right Drummer for the band. all of the above.. No doubt Kurt Cobain was a genius songwriter. Butch Vig is an excellent Producer. Nirvana were the Alterna-rock culture change. They were the spearhead.. And Dave Grohl's drumming added a lot of memorable catchy licks to the songs..
  18. Queens Of The Stone Age's - Songs For The Deaf - has some amazing drumming. Dave Grohl has a writing credit with Nirvana for Scentless Apprentice - Track 2 on In Utero. He wrote the main riff, which follows the drum pattern exactly. It's one of my favorite Nirvana songs.. It's very similar to his playing with QOTSA and TCV. His drumming in Nirvana was direct, simple, powerful, memorable and distinctive ...which was perfect for the band.. I agree with BobDobbs that he made Nirvana more commercial and successful. Overrated? I wouldn't compare him to Vinny Colaiuta or Gavin Harrison, but he's great drummer in his own right. Overexposed? Definitely.
  19. Dave was probably asked to write the forward.. What was he supposed to do, say no? Word gets out he refuses to write the forward to a John Bonham Biography would get him much more criticism than he's getting for writing it.. I'm sure Dave was honored to write the forward, so more power to him. I'm also a little sick of seeing both Dave and especially Taylor Hawkins everywhere.. But it's a different time.. And it is kind of cool to see 2 very good drummers getting some of the spotlight. But yeah too much Dave and Taylor.. but again.. Should they say no...? The only thing that bothers me is so called Neil Peart fanatics like Taylor (and Jack Black) who keep calling him Neil Pert.. How hard is it to pronounce your heroes name correctly... Also, if you want to title your book with a nickname that everyone associates with John Bonham ... simply call it BONZO.. Almost nobody knows him as The Beast or Beast.. Sensationalist title.. It could be a great read, but that title pretty quickly brings back Hammer Of The Gods flashbacks..
  20. I'm sorry RainbowElf... I just saw this. it was pretty incredible. Bill Ward was still in the band. He left the tour a week or 2 after this show. I was already a major Dio fan for about 2-3 years at this point. It was my first time seeing Black Sabbath too. I didn't see the original band until Ozzfest 1999. It was also originally a Blue Oyster Cult show we had tickets for. About a week before the scheduled date, the concert was pushed back a day and Black Sabbath were added. They both had the same Manager at the time, Sandy Pearlman. Bill Ward seemed a little out of it, but listening back to some of it now, he sounds quite good. Blue Oyster Cult were super tight and went on last. This show was recorded and Broadcasted by The King Bisquit Flower Hour which explains why there are a professional recording.
