  1. Bloody cold, 39 degrees, had to turn on the heat for the first time this Fall.
  2. Haven't watched that in a few years, she does a good job on it. The guitar solo was pretty weak though, Jimmy does some great expressive bends in the original that this guy kinda flubs.
  3. Bump Led Zeppelin-Achilles Last Stand "Where the mighty worms of Atlas, hold the heavens from the earth"
  4. Finally had to break out the long sleeves, 48 degrees this morning!
  5. 7/24 may be the best sounding Audience recording of all.
  6. I still love the Syd Barrett era and listen to that stuff pretty regularly. Think I will now as a matter of fact...
  7. I saw her on some show last night channel surfing, she looked really good!
  8. The Fame and The Fame Monster were perfect pop records, will go down as all time classics. Born This way was ok, Artpop was pretty disappointing IMO.
  9. I know right? Check this one out, he has to give up one of his spots to Peter Grant. I think this is the only one with just Jonesy on the cover.
  10. From Wikipedia: Writing and inspiration[edit] McCartney was inspired to write the song after reading a 1967 Guitar Player magazine interview with the Who's Pete Townshend where he described their latest single, "I Can See for Miles", as the loudest, rawest, dirtiest song the Who had ever recorded. McCartney then "wrote 'Helter Skelter' to be the most raucous vocal, the loudest drums, et cetera" and said he was "using the symbol of a helter skelter as a ride from the top to the bottom; the rise and fall of the Roman Empire—and this was the fall, the demise."[4] In British English, the term "helter-skelter" not only has its meaning of "in disorderly haste or confusion" but is the name of a spiralling amusement park slide.[8] McCartney has used this song as a response to critics who accuse him of writing only ballads.[9] On 20 November 1968, two days before the release of The Beatles, McCartney gave Radio Luxembourg an exclusive interview, in which he commented on several of the album's songs. Speaking of "Helter Skelter", he said: "Umm, that came about just 'cause I'd read a review of a record which said, 'and this group really got us wild, there's echo on everything, they're screaming their heads off.' And I just remember thinking, 'Oh, it'd be great to do one. Pity they've done it. Must be great — really screaming record.' And then I heard their record and it was quite straight, and it was very sort of sophisticated. It wasn't rough and screaming and tape echo at all. So I thought, 'Oh well, we'll do one like that, then.' And I had this song called "Helter Skelter," which is just a ridiculous song. So we did it like that, 'cuz I like noise."[10] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helter_Skelter_(song)#Writing_and_inspiration
  11. As many have previously mentioned, the BBC Sessions version is a real standout.
