    Not sure Sean. I think one of the keyboard players maybe but I didn't score a programme and didn't quite catch the intros. His band were excellent. 

     

    Jeff Lynne along with ELO member Richard Tandy were backed by non other than the backing band of....(ahem, can't believe I'm typing this) Take That/ Gary Barlow.

    It's not the first time Jordan has had a meltdown on that hole. Think 2 years ago?

    I watched The BBC 2 coverage up until 10.30 pm then turned over to Beeb 1 to watch the three Sunday game highlights when Speith was at 7 under, when I turned back almost an hour later Willet is the leader..What....Well done Danny Willet for nickin'it at the end......."Everybody nick's it".........

    After 5 days of glorious cloud free golfing on the Algarve ( Portugal) with 20 degree temps, :suntan:, we have returned home to a foot of snow:freezing:.  Bollocks !!

    Funny you should post that CP, I saw something on the news about the Buxton area and thought about you in sunny Poirtugal having to come home to all that snow.

    I wonder what he'd say today if he heard an actual audio recording of himself saying that.  I suppose
    he could say he was bull-shitting with the interviewer. Haha
    :lol: talk about a little fib coming back to
    bite you eh.  I  do get the feeling it can't be used as evidence though.  Still I'm sure R C's side is digging
    up that stuff.

    One thing I will say is, before this case I myself had never heard of Taurus, Spirit or Randy California
    How many people would be Googling this band if this was Spirit VS the band Blah Blah and the song
    Blah Blah Blah.  There mere fact it involves Led Zeppelin and Stairway gives Spirit some major plugging
    that's free - minus legal fees.

    If this actually goes to trial how sad that besides the Kennedy Honors in 2012 this would be what brings
    Jimmy,  Plant and Jones to the same place  on U S soil together. Never mind a cool interview or something
    really good.  Nope  a joke of a plagiarism case in a the state of California. 

    I think it will be tossed out.

     

    I first heard "Spirit" their first album forty-ish years ago, I've always thought there was "some" similarity  between the opening of STH and Taurus.  Spirit were always more of a cult band and as their leader, Randy California died almost twenty years ago there has been no new product to keep them on the radar. They've been almost forgotten  until Mark Andes brought up this spurious lawsuit, Similar does not mean the same.

    Sure Creedence deserves a ton of respect, I imagine you are referring to Fogarty?  Lambda Leap is on the same page as me.  They were the greatest American band ever and I do not think its even close.  I will put Allman Bros and Skynyrd on my top 5 and maybe throw in Aerosmith and the Beach Boys for sure.  But the Eagles to me are the best American band ever.  The first greatest hits album is simply fabulous and then along comes Hotel California.   To me that guitar solo with Walsh and Felder was magical.  Henley is one of the best vocalists of all time.  Jackson Browne did a great job doing Take it Easy in Glen's memory.  I think Don Henley was thinking, what am I doing here with all this rap shit being played around me?

    Sorry Rick but I think you'll find that Jackson Browne wrote "Take it Easy".

    "Can't reply"..You just did......Anyway the so called Children could be teens who could have made themselves something to eat then left a grill on, a chip pan, maybe left a tea towel on a hob ring they have left turned on at a low setting and the tea towel after time caught fire, careless maybe but accidents happen.

    OK, fair enough.

    Maybe I am the only one upset that it burnt down. I guess I am weird.

    Nah, Your'e not weird, you have a valid point of view, who is right, who is wrong, we all have our opinions..... Me I'm just in one of those bad mood bolshie days.

    I have some experience in house restoration as a investor, and from what I see in your video I would say the house will be raised (tore down). Very sad!

    It's only bricks and mortar, the remains of what was just an ugly looking bungalow anyway. If  there was no Crowley or Page connection nobody would give a fuck. The name Boleskine House conjures up the idea of some kind of impressive mansion, which it most certainly was not.

    Well, not sure if this is of interest, but my father built houses, was an architect, could wire a house(although was not

    certified). Actually codes vary tremendously even in the U.S., obviously though in richer areas and historic places

    usually there are stringent rules in place. For example, my cousin's former house in Weymouth, Mass. had series

    wiring in the house. That is very old and it means one outlet/fuse blows, the whole house goes out. They were never

    required to update to parallel wiring, which only knocks out a few outlets at a time. I hate to steer blame to Jimmy,

    as other owners could have updated the electric as well. But given Jimmy's wealth and supposed dedication to 

    Crowley, here is an example of Jimmy's cheapness actually leading to a bad outcome. Not entirely his fault, but other

    rock stars I'm sure would have updated the electric pronto, as you could actually die from the situation.

    Page wasn't cheap, he only owned Boleskine for a short period of time and as a guy in his twenties all he would have cared about is where he was going to plug in his HiFi and his Guitar amp, I doubt a rewire would have been considered at the time.

    Thanks for the advise, Sam! :) I cleared my browser's cache just now and I closed and re-started my browser, but I still get the same old message, with the URL changing to : forums.ledzeppelin.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi

     I have attached it here as a screenshot, for you to have a look. Perhaps, it will settle down eventually. :blink:
