So sad to hear... now both Brian and his mother are no longer with us... back in 2014 I had to choose between seeing the Stones (one more time) or the Pythons. I decided on the Stones - thinking they are more likely 'not to be around' for any time longer.

Much like many I was in high anticipation for this movie – pretty much anxious to see is MS will be able to re create all those ‘magical’ movie moments all his fans know from ‘Goodfellas’ and other films… you know… all those 90 seconds clips with a famous song/tune at the back ground that later make that song merged with the movie dialogue forever (like the Layla instrumental part and the famous

I usually do not get into observations about celebs and famous people based only on some reading, 2nd hand stories and maybe once or twice seeing them buying coffee in Starbucks. However in regards to Daltrey – I’ve seen him several times during sound checks, as well as heard stories from other people who followed the late TW tours + in recent years their shows in the UK and Ireland were really

QuoteHMS I wonder if Roger is wearing a wig. Pete doesnt, obviously. An extremely clever type of wig. Since 2000 his hair, and hairstyle, aged gracefully. In the 2013-2014 gigs I saw (including the one sound check I attended, seeing him from zero distance) he looked a bit like a Hobbit with a type of a Frodo haircut…

Anytime The Who were performing somewhere around and I did not attend as I felt I saw/see them way too much (Nottingham 2014, Belfast & Scotland 2013, RAH several times during the first years after 2000, US east coast in late 2000). Unlike with Stones concerts – for The Who I never felt as if “the 3td was too much”. Clapton – missed two chances to see very good concerts of him. The fact i

The worst for a performer I didn't expect much from: 2 out of 2 Depeche Mode concerts I attended.

Did not enjoy even one second. Felt like a calm atheist in the middle of a mass. These were FOS tickets and people all

Actually he has been doing that since the 1960's

The mentioned documentary about the Eagles included some of the most smug yet embarrassing moments if rockumetary. Say what ever you want about Jagger/Richards, or Townshent/Moon – there was always some class even at their lowest moments. Henley, and especially Glenn Frey come out as moronic and Frey just looks like some Ben Stiller movie exaggerated figure.

I guess that any lead guitatist who develop its own unique style (usually as part of a band) might be regarded as influential. Some very talented musicians did great things,but few that were new technically.
