As guitar seems to be flavour of the day, it's getting late and I'm off to bed, here's a bloke I'm seriously getting into.

Saw him on his Farewell Tour.

One of the best gigs I've had the privilege to attend.

@Victor-Meldrew Campbell's an absolute legend

Have you seen I'll Be Me?

Brilliant

[Victor Meldrew]

Heard this on a car radio and shazam-ed it. Really cool

[Tim]

Love this German cheese metal track so much:

Just catching up on this thread: Love Hendrix, like Marley, not really a fan of Zeppelin.

Guns and Roses fans will like the soundtrack to the new Thor movie.

Duran Duran was epic, way better than I thought it could be. Nile Rodgers & Chic kinda stole the show though.

Duran Duran are top notch musos with cool songs and Simon Le Bon has a terrific voice. It’s very pleasing to hear they were good.

Tony Thompson who was the drummer for Chic actually formed Power Station with the Taylor boys from Duran Duran and Robert Palmer.

Now THAT was a Supergroup.

Joe Walsh is a bit like Ozzy Osbourne in that he seems barely coherent when he talks but he still knows how to rock on stage. I love his unique voice, quirky lyrics and guitar playing ability.

I’ve mentioned on here quite often how overrated I think the Beatles are but Ringo is definitely likeable and loves what he does so hats off to him for that after all these years.

[Bones]

@MN5 yeah Chic did one of their own songs to kick off and then just rolled through a litany of number 1s that Rodgers had written for other people, plus one the drummer had written.

DD seemed ageless.

If anything his drumming is under rated by the public. Other musos rate him very highly.
What was amazing in that clip was the precise synchronised beats from the two drummers

Not really, just good timing and practice from a couple of old pros.

Ringo does divide opinion that’s for sure

This article from Quincy Jones has always irked me a bit.

How do you define good / bad musicians? Ability to play a tune or ability to write a tune?

Ability to compose / put together a song, or ability to play a very complex time signature?

He can talk about Paul McCartney being a shitty bass player as much as he wants. But he owned Glastonbury this year playing bass, piano, guitar and singing. At 80 years old.

Quincy Jones opinion here is worth less than used toilet paper.

Yeah I found the article pretty amusing more than anything.

They’re certainly not what I’d call amazing musos but their legacies as composers/performers is second to none ( again, even if I don’t rate them as high as others )

I've read quite a few famous guitarists / musicians books and one thing that is consistent when they talk about band formation is the drummer and the sound they were looking for. To name some specifics, Adler, Watts, Ulrich, Irons/Smith were specifically singled out as having taking criticism, but the guitarists are all unequivocal that they had the exact sound/groove they are after.

I've not read a Beatles book, but I imagine they would say the same about Starr.

Yeah it’s all opinion isn’t it ?

Like yourself I love a good music book and its always good reading and having YouTube ready to listen to whatever songs they might be talking about.

Of that bunch I recall Ulrich ( who can often come across as a cock ) having a moment of reflection and saying he “wasn’t the best drummer in the world but he was the best drummer in the world for Metallica”

Indeed. I think that's why Jones comments irked me so much.

As he's a highly respected person in the music world & it just seemed to be more about trying to disrespect them as opposed to offering an opinion.
