Did you get to the RCA Museum? I’ve been to Motown museum in Detroit where the main studio floor is roped-off and you can’t even walk on it, let alone touch anything; I’ve been to the Sun Studios in Memphis and Muscle Shoals studios in Alabama where they will let you walk mostly everywhere, but it’s “Look - Don’t Touch” unless you book studio recording time. But in Nashville (at least a few decades ago was the case) they will invite you to touch and play pianos and guitars in RCA Studio B (if you’ve seen Roberty Altman’s epic “Nashville” you’ll know what I’m talkin’ about) that were actually used in recordings by Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash. They’ll even let you twiddle on the knobs inn the studio where Chet Atkins basically invented “The Nashville Sound” and record it, which me and my mates did. If you’re a musician or a fan it’s an incredible experience.

@salacious-crumb Yeah, but TBH it was more of a pilgrimage thing than anything else. I'm not a musician so the instruments and recording stuff didn't mean that much to me. I wasn't with anyone who could explain the significance of what I was looking at, beyond the "Elvis used this microphone" stuff. For anyone who's into music history though, yeah it'd be a shame to go to Nashville and not visit. I understand you have to book now?

No idea about the booking, it was a couple decades ago. The piano was the real beauty. I was with my buddies, all long hairs (at the time, we had hair then!) and a guide simply assumed we were a band and asked if we wanted to play. (On same trip in Memphis a black guy stopped us on the street and asked us if we were Bon Jovi. We told him no, and despite our strong accents he then started insisting we were bullshitting him, and that we really were Bon Jovi. All we could ask ourselves afterward was, Jesus, do we really look that awful??)

@salacious-crumb ... so one of you had an enormous nose then?

Deep Purple in 06 was a classic concert of two halves. They opened with 'Pictures of Home' which is a lesser known 70s track then played all the 90s 00s shit before an hour of ' Space Trucking' 'Highway Star' 'Woman from Tokyo' 'Black Night' etc.
Gunners last year got the balance way better.
I'm already tired of wanky self indulgent FB posts about what the Cranberries meant growing up in the 90s and how devastated people are that she's dead.

Cranberries will always have a special place in my heart in that in my first year in Uni I managed to land a perfect 10 chick in my quan study group. All because I lied about loving the Zombie song and she was a massive fan. To be honest I used to get the Cranberries and Garbage confused all the time. But I mananged to get my bullshit straight enough to get the job done.
Thanks Dolores.

@raznomore was that passing quan and/or landing the 10/10??
-
@paekakboyz is it actually possible to pass quan?

now that story, right there, had more real passion, heart, and meaning than every other "soundtrack of my youth" posts i've been seeing.
Fuck off they were. You belted out their radio songs and haven't actively listened to them in 20 years. fuck off.
Zombie is a shit track
