SI has the Thunder in the Finals against Cleveland. Personally, I'm not as high on the Thunder anymore, once you get past their big three (Durant, Westbrick, Ibaka) that is a pretty anemic roster.

Here's Why Jimi Hendrix's Backwards Stratocaster Was Awesome And now you can buy one just like it! http://www.popularmechanics.com/culture/music/a17922/jimi-hendrix-backwards-stratocaster/ Interesting. I actually turned my pickups upside-down when I first got my guitar, hoping it would create a more distinctive sound. (Hendrix inspired, of course)

Spot on. Especially disappointing with the Beatles "covers" like I Saw Her Standing There, From Me to You, Please Please Me, etc.

Watch the restored video of "A Day in the Life" right here, debuting exclusively on Mashable. http://mashable.com/2015/10/27/beatles-music-video-1/#43e3I6zplmqZ

This is a popular title of it. Discogs looks to have a few copies currently available.

Good one, I like the slower tempo, really grooves. (pun)

As you can see, there has always been debate as to when this actually took place. Read some of the comments for more info.

Same here! I picked up that album right after the show, good stuff.

Not much luck turning people on to Primus, but other than that it's all good.

Wally Hood back in the house!

You're right, I hadn't listened to that one in a while, it's even better than I remembered. Holds up quite well. Indeed. I love the fact that Zep and their crew wouldn't let anyone take advantage, like in that recent article jabe posted about Teamsters trying to shake them down. (Although the story is told by Steven Davis, for what that's worth.) Mark Shanahan Globe Staff October 08, 2015 The indictment last week of five members of Teamsters Local 25 on federal extortion charges got us thinking about, of all things, Led Zeppelin. Why? Because the allegations against the Teamsters, who are accused of harassing and intimidating the “Top Chef” staff, including the TV show’s host, Padma Lakshmi, are reminiscent of a story Stephen Davis tells in “Hammer of the Gods,” his best-selling book about the British rock band. Davis, who lives in Milton, was music editor at The Real Paper in 1973 when he found himself backstage at Led Zeppelin’s concert at the Boston Garden. He recalls: “In Boston, the Zeppelin roadies went into action against a Teamster union goon squad that had appeared backstage in an attempt to shake down Led Zeppelin. Peter Grant [the band’s manager] and his private army bloodied the Teamsters faces, knocked out a few teeth, and sent them packing.” When we called Davis Wednesday to talk about the incident, he chuckled. “A bunch of young guys, South Boston and Dorchester types, got backstage and started asking for money. Grant, who was enormous, a former professional wrestler, turned to Richard Cole, who was Zeppelin’s tour manager, and said, ‘Get the lads together and meet me in the loading dock.’ Zeppelin’s roadies were notoriously violent, but only when provoked. They were provoked. And they beat the crap out of the Teamsters.” Davis, who’s also written books about the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Bob Marley, and Levon Helm, is currently working on a book about Stevie Nicks.

This from 'Jimmy Page: Magus, Musician, Man' by George Case: Around the same time Page was producing him in the studio, Clapton visited his house in Epson to have some private jams, which Page also recorded. "The Bluesbreakers were playing over in Putney and Eric came to stay at my house. I had a Simon tape recorder that you could DI into [directly inject electric instruments without first playing through an amp], so the two guitars went into the machine and I just did these tapes of Eric and myself playing." The DI trick enabled a huge amount of distortion while the two musicians played around with different twelve-bar I-IV-V progressions. But Page let Andrew Oldham's Immediate label know about the tapes ("I was really championing Eric, as you would"), and they were confiscated as part of both Page's and Clapton's contractual obligations. "I argued that they couldn't put them out, because they were just variations of blues structures, and in the end we dubbed some other instruments over some of them and they came out, with liner notes attributed to me... though I didn't have anything to do with writing them. I didn't get a penny out of it, anyway." This rather exploitative move on the label's part-they were released when given rhythm tracks by Rolling Stones Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman and Mick Jagger playing harmonica-led to some mistrust of Clapton toward Page, and Page's own frustrations at not owning music he had made. It was a bitter lesson.

I used to have that on cassette. I believe Jimmy said its just some stuff they recorded at his house. "Only two of the guitarists appear on any given track. Jeff Beck does not appear on any of the Page/Clapton numbers. Similarly, Clapton doesn't appear on the Allstars tracks." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_Boogie_(album) Full album here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLprfpWiHXeWI-_Hs4CZzgW9IOVCCKZugJ This from 'Jimmy Page: Magus, Musician, Man' by George Case: Around the same time Page was producing him in the studio, Clapton visited his house in Epson to have some private jams, which Page also recorded.

Lucky sob's got to hear the ultra rare "Black Velvet".

Damn, never knew that! Funny reading some of the mistakes the author of this article made.

Just to clarify, it's at 8:58.

Cool find, thanks for posting.

haha yea I think this is the third similar thread like this.

^That face.

Huh, didn't see that part. Pretty dumb to dismiss an entire genre, one that he probably knows little about. I wonder if he's ever listened to ATLiens, Aquemini, Soul Food... There is good and bad rap, just like there's good and bad rock, classical, jazz, blues, pop, etc, etc...
