Yes I saw that and posted the above in the 'what are you listening to' thread yesterday! Hopefully they'll continue to add more and more, and maybe even the possibility of having every track back up (or most tracks)- even if with just the album cover. The way I see it, is it's free advertisment, and if people like the individual song/videos enough they'll end up buying an official release. I've done that many times with other bands/artists after getting a hint via youtube - whether it's an old blues tune. a more contemporary band, or a brand new band I've only read about.

Played at a very high volume, that could be used as a military weapon - piercing the eardrums of any enemy within a 10 mile radius.
Not too farfetched as I seem to recall the US military blasting Guns and Roses at the enemy during Desert Storm. Not to harm them physically, but just to annoy the hell out of them.

I'm mildly surprised by this (and the leak) - if it's true - because there's a bit of a "thing" with the Honours that being non-resident tends to count very much against you.
Good on him if he's got his K at last though.
Also, GOOD ON THE MIRROR for calling John's murder what it was. I get really really off-pissed when the events are described along the lines of "John died in NYC in 1980....". Get real! Call it for what it was! It was an <expletive deleted> murder on the streets of NYC. <Insert rant about USA gun control (sic) laws.>

Agree.
Better would be not including the murderers name though.
Yeah, right. Think Rain, etc.
Who ever tries to ignore the fact that he was murdered? Sounds like you invented that so you could rant about gun control.
Pretty sure Mick was (and still is?) a non resident, for tax purposes.
Charlie Chaplin was Knighted in his later years but had been a Swiss resident for a long time.
Not sure if there are any hard and fast 'exclusions'.
They do indeed, 55 years on. Keith will not change his attitude. Can you imagine a human being anywhere, more set in his ways than our Keith? I can’t! And if Keith won’t accept one, I doubt Charlie will be offered one.
FWIW, I think Ringo’s rumoured knighthood is ludicrous. He was by a country mile, the least talented and creative Beatle and the award is only because of the band he was fortunate to drum for 50 years ago. A vast array of infinitely more talented British Rock Musicians have come and gone since then without a sniff of an award.

Ringo is finally going to be made a Knight of the Realm. Arise Sir Ringo.
[www.mirror.co.uk]
Beatles star Ringo Starr finally set to be knighted in New Year's Honours list
The Beatles drummer, 77, will receive given the gong for services to music and charity
Ringo Starr will be knighted in the New Year’s Honours, it was reported tonight.
The Beatles drummer, 77, will receive given the gong for services to music and charity.
Ringo, given an MBE in 1965, is said to be thrilled, according to the Sun on Sunday.
He will return to Buckingham Palace for the knighthood 52 years after getting his MBE.
The honour comes after bandmate Sir Paul McCartney urged the Queen: “Look, love it’s about time.”
Macca was knighted in 1997 but Ringo, 77, had given up all hope before a letter arrived from the Palace a few weeks ago.
His knighthood, for lifetime services to music and charity, in the New Year’s Honours will be formally announced next week.
The musician, real name Richard Starkey, got his first drum kit as a Christmas present aged 17.
As The Beatles' Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band turns 50, the album's secrets and hidden meanings revealed
Within five years he was part of the biggest band in the world.
His last visit to the Palace was in 1965 when all the Fab Four were awarded the MBE.
Sir Paul, 75, had told of his frustration for his pal in an interview.
When it was suggested he could ask the Queen to knight Ringo, Macca replied: “The last time I went by she was out.
"Otherwise, I would have popped in and said ‘Look, love, Sir Richard Starkey’. Because I do think it’s about time.”
Ringo, who is said to be worth £300million, was born and raised in a two-up, two-down terraced house in Madryn Street, Liverpool. His father was a docker and his mum worked in a bakery.
His parents divorced when he was three and his childhood was dogged by illness.
He missed so much schooling that by 15, he could barely read or write. But he had an aptitude for woodwork, mechanics and music.
He took early jobs as a delivery boy, a trainee joiner and a barman on the Mersey ferries.
Beatles legend Ringo Starr should be given a knighthood as 'he's waited too long'
His dream came true when his stepfather bought him a drum kit for Christmas 1957, and he promised to be “the best drummer ever”.
By the time the Beatles were formed, Ringo was already on the tour circuit with the successful band Rory Storm and the Hurricanes.
The Fab Four’s manager Brian Epstein poached him to replace Pete Best as drummer in 1962 and the group hit international fame.
While most of the songwriting was the genius of Lennon and McCartney, Ringo had more than his fair share of input.
He is credited with inventing the phrase A Hard Day’s Night which became a hit single, album and film.
He also made a new career in TV and film and narrated cartoon Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends.
Ringo married long-time sweetheart Maureen Cox in 1965, with whom he had three children Zak, Jason and Lee.
Zak followed in his dad’s footsteps to become a drummer, playing with The Who and Oasis.
The couple split in 1975 and he married actress Barbara Bach, who played a Bond girl in 1977’s The Spy Who Loved Me.
Ringo sold his 200-acre estate in Cranleigh, Surrey, for a reputed £20million in 2014.
He now divides his time between Switzerland and California.
Ex-bandmate Lennon was murdered by gunman Mark David Chapman at his New York home in 1980 aged 40. Harrison died aged 58 from lung cancer in 2001.

Don't like it. He was nothing special as a dummer and he is getting an aware because he just happened to be bandmates with 3 great songwriters. Cheapens the award. There are alot of people who should get it before him, if any musician should get it at all.

Imho, the fairest thing to do would be to scrap the honours system altogether. Other countries manage just fine without one. It’s subjective, contentious and history has been littered with many controversial awards with people with greater achievements overlooked. It’s a ludicrous historical anachronism, which allows those in power to hand out gongs for favours.
If you have achieved something great in life, the kudos that comes with it speaks for itself. Keith has been very vocal and blunt in stating that he would not accept one if offered. Danny Boyle, who designed the London Olympics opening and closing ceremonies declined a knighthood.

This doesn't look good for the Beatles vs. Stones debate.
Two Beatles now, and only one Stone.
To keep ahead, Keith will have to change his attitude and they will have to knight Charlie.
The Beatles always wind up ahead, don't they?

Congrats to Ringo- one the greatest and most inventive drummers in rock and roll.
But this is not just about drumming - it's about his lifetime contributions to music, entertainment, AND charity.
Ringo
"Since beginning his career with The Beatles in the 1960s, Ringo Starr has been one of the world’s brightest musical luminaries.
He has enjoyed a successful and dynamic solo career as a singer, songwriter and drummer, an active musical collaborator, and as an actor.
Drawing inspiration from classic blues, soul, country, honky-tonk and rock ‘n’ roll, Ringo continues to play an important role in modern music with his solo recording and touring.
Former Beatle Ringo Starr started the Lotus Foundation with his wife, Barbara Bach.
He took part in George Harrison's historic Concert for Bangladesh in 1971.
In 2012, he contributed a song to an album benefiting victims of Hurricane Sandy, and also raised money for the David Lynch Foundation.
In 2011, he made a wish come true for a young cancer survivor when he presented him with a set of drums.
______________________________________________
He and his wife Barbara are founders of the The Lotus Foundation:
The objectives of the Lotus Foundation are to fund, support, participate in and promote charitable projects aimed at advancing social welfare in diverse areas including, but not limited to:
Substance abuse
Cerebral palsy
Brain tumours
Cancer
Battered women and their children
Homelessness
Animals in need
He also supports numerous other charities.
____________________________________________________________
Also I just learned this cool factoid- Ringo has a star named after him!
Ringo
4150 Starr, provisional designation 1984 QC, is a stony Florian asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 7 kilometers in diameter.
It was discovered by American astronomer Brian Skiff at Lowell's Anderson Mesa Station on 31 August 1984.[9] It was named after ex-Beatles Richard Starkey (Ringo Starr).
