  1. Both of these guys are Titans.  I think Page was a little more versatile in terms of writing music and musical style. Hendrix rewrote the rule book on how to play an electric guitar.  The guy was full of blues, soul, and psychedelic riffs, and jams. Love 'em both.  

    I am also a huge Eddie Van Halen fan, as well. Eddie is famous for his tapping (which is awesome), but the guy could write a riff, play rhythm, and exploit harmonics like nobody else.  

  2. I have always loved the Eagles.  They are staple in my catalog of music and I am so fortunate to have seen them once again, just months before Glenn died.  They were nothing short of fabulous.  

  3. Anybody else read a recent article in Rolling Stone about the making of Revolver?  While Rubber Soul was the band's "pot album" Revolver was the band's LSD album. Paul declined to try LSD for a while, but he eventually did.  Interesting read.

    Man, Montrose could have been something big had they stuck with Sammy and followed his vision to remain a hard rock band.  Their first album is one of the greatest hard rock records every recorded.  There are some gems on Paper Money, too.

    Sammy is great!  How was "Finish What Ya Started"?  Such a great guitar line from EVH in that song...

    Finish What Ya Started was awesome.  I miss Ed playing the chicken pickin' lick, but Vic Johnson did an admirable job.  Always loved that song.  Such a departure for the VH.

  6. Hey guys and gals, I saw Sammy Hagar and the Circle on Friday night in Chicago.  What a great show.  They played Good Times Bad Times, When the Levee Breaks and Rock and Roll. Jason is certainly his father's son.  Man, Sammy still sounds great and he can shred on guitar himself.  It was a great set and I had a blast.  Chicago is just beautiful too.

  7. I love the Grateful Dead.  There are always a few songs that capture a wider audience and seem to "spoil" it for the tie-dye hard fans.  I get as big a kick out of Touch or Grey as I do Cream Puff War.  Some fans don't realize that the Dead were playing Touch of Grey in 1983--four years before their MTV success.  Heck, I loved the video and the fact that it awakened so many fans to their music.  

  8. Man, I don't know.  I just accept it all for what it is, which is great.  I guess the only thing I don't like, but I understand, is that they haven't really hit the road with Jason on drums.  They should have years ago.  Jason is an awesome drummer and the nearest thing to his Dad that I've ever heard.  Plus, he loves his Pop and would truly honor his legacy.

    You know those horror movies that you can see 5 times and STILL discover new things?

    You know those horror movies that grip you right from the start until the very end without a hint of a weak or inferior moment?

    You know those horror movies that are tension-laced and kick your ass completely when it comes to highly innovative, gruesome murders?

    You know those horror movies that are old, but were way ahead of their time when they first got released?

     

    ALL OF THIS AND MORE IS....

    Holy Snikees.  A friend of mine just showed me a trailer of this movie on YouTube a week ago.  He loves the movie and the band Goblin that does the soundtrack, or some of it.
