QuoteRockman Hey Hey .... It's Only Rock 'n Roll is one funky album I've always loved it though do feel it is not as great as the preceding and albums after in the 70s. However, it is the Stones in 1973 and 74 has has enough gold going for it. Three of my absolute favourites are on it - Fingerprint File, TWFNO and Luxury. Those three, maaan!

PS I believe we will see the Stones in Europe again. As BV said, 60 and Counting 2022 would be too great a milestone to not mark as we are only 2 years away. Amazing really, closing on 60 years of this unique band.

I'm sure Metallica have been discussed here before, couldn't locate a thread though. Many fans of Thrash here? Metallica Mondays have been great on YouTube during last 3 months, every Monday a gig put up. Sloane Castle being one of them. Thrash went through a revival last 10 years of so with great albums coming from a lot of the old guard - Kreator, Testament Anthrax Megadeth,

I'd only got into them a year or two before, but in that time had become a superfan; already had 10-12 albums, videos, few Stones books. Saw them live at Wembley July 15th and 16th I think were the dates. Incredible! VL was the new album the year I was buying an album a week for about 2 months and I loved it. Still do; a lot of material that has held up well 25 years later. That era an

On a trip to local bookstore yesterday, in a sealed box, the Taschen book (large; photo of Primrose Hill 1966 Buttons album). 133 Euro, but from the photos I've seen online it does look a beauty. Does the book cover the band to more modern days or mainly 60s/70s anybody know? The new Wyman photo book looks good too, From the Inside, is it worthy?

For a few decades Hearts for Sale was one I'd skip on SW. Last year or two, it clicked. Not one of the best on SW but a groovy, jazzy number.

Love the album, always have. Robert Cristgau's review: "looser than you'll ever be". The two singles and their videos are wonderful. Dance Part I is still a thrilling rave up. All About You, Down in the Hole; equally wonderful. The cool swagger of Let Me Go; the guitars, the phrasing, just to hear the band play. Even Send it To Me - the playing, the groove. I love

Quote24FPS Quote24FPS Yeah, they got a 'sideman', instead of a soloist, which Ronnie also has to do. He's fine on slide. No one will ever take the music to the next level like Mick Taylor did live. Ronnie stays within the confines, and pretty much carries most of the weight now. But now I want to study Rory Gallagher. Never heard of him in the states. Last year I got onto Michael

Goodpoints jdwelda, It is disheartening, and even though rationally concerts will be back, it is hard to see that among the irrational scenes here.

Folks, Any Rory Gallagher fans here? His new live album from one of the best live years of his career 1977. 'Check Shirt Wizard' taken from four UK shows in January 1977, and it is fiery, exciting stuff! That last 4 tracks for instance, Rory blazing through some thrilling bluesy rock'n'roll. An incredible player and performer. Have been rediscovering his catalogue recent

Agreed, even in early 90s when first discovering them, information hard to come by. The only way of seeing list of albums and even critical opinion was one of the band biographies, so I bought one. Every piece of information is so easily and wuicjly accessible these days, as well as any music or video content you"d wish to see when checking out new bands. Its a goldmine of information.

I'm a big fan of all of Ronnie's solo studio and live albums. Raucous rock'n'roll. I saw him live in Dublin December 2001 and Londons Drury Lane summer 2005; loved both. The 2001 album 'Not for Beginners' has some wonderful material on it. My top 3 solo Ron would still be debut solo album. Now Look, and Slide on This. Great stuff indeed.

The problem is the categorisation. The article from John Ioannidis at Stanford goes some way to explain. An open lettet to the German Government recently (I will try and locate it) from a Senior reiterates those same concerns of mis-categorisation. It is vital as draconian measures are being implemented based on this data and the models that derive from it. Its at least worth considering.

Concerning the numbers of deaths caused by the virus, the only fact I know is, that in our country in the first five official cases of death it was officially said, that the cause of death was most likely not the coronavirus.
