Been watching a lot of day-time tv looking after my mother-in-law post-heart operation.
He was on the Jo Wiley show last week.

Every now and again I have to remind myself the Chillis were actually a fucken good band back in the day ( before they released singles with "California" as every second word )......also worth nothing guitarist John Frusciante was 19 years old when they did this tune.
Wicked shit.

When my old dear died 5 years ago I got a handful of CDs that had belonged to my Dad until he passed. All of them completely forgettable but you know how it is, you can’t bring yourself to chuck them out.
Christopher Cross’s Sailing was one of them. Never listened to it until this evening. Most songs are MoR cludge, inoffensive but in no way special. But fark me if it doesn’t have some tremendous lead breaks on it. The first track has a Jay Graydon lead break that is maybe better than his one in Peg. There’s a great Larry Carlton break on track 2 and the last track has some very nice work from Eric Johnson that I now know was 7 years before Tones.
Turns out my old man is still teaching me stuff 19 years after he died. Life, huh?

Watching/listening (currently on SkyArts).... All kind of feeeels for this! Shivers! A movie is not a movie without a Hans Zimmer (Zim zimma who got de keys to my bimma) soundtrack.
Have we done a soundtracks thread? I have a feeling there was one way back in the 00s...

Fake news!
A lot of that about today

There's no way that Waters and Mason played the rhythm section on The Wall. Gilmour is probably the only one who's on the album. Even the trademark Waters bassline is doubtful.
The bassline at the start of Comfortably Numb is way too warm and smooth to be Waters.

Interesting theory. For all Waters undoubted talent as a Rock star being an amazing bassist isn't one of them. Mason did some pretty cool drumming in the live in Pompeii album though.
I'm not sure what it is about Gilmour, a lot of his stuff is not technically hard to play as such but ask anyone to go out there and replicate his sound and feel and no one can. That's what makes him a guitar god, probably in my top ten.
