There was a member who either was there or spoke to someone who was at their first show in San Antonio dieting their first visit to the States...they posted pictures of the band onstage and off...even got their autographs.

Saw it last night Took a few artistic liberties with a few things, but overall a good movie. The actors who played Brian May & John Duncan really looked like them...and Rami, Rami does such a good job at channeling Freddie, especially in the last third of the film that its almost eerie. Sidenote, Mike Myers steals the scene with his diatribe against Bohemian Rhapsody in favor of I’m

QuoteHairball I liked them quite a bit up until the Monster album in 1994, but it's their earlier albums that were truly the greatest - I still have the vinyl and cassettes! They're like a time capsule to me now, and have to say I never even realized they actually broke up! We are on the same wavelength.. I did get to see them in ‘94 or ‘95, it was a very good concert.

QuoteTravelinMan I love this song and don’t consider it filler at all. The same can’t be said for other stuff on the album like Short and Curlies and Dance Little Sister. Don’t get me wrong I like them, but those songs literally say nothing (the definition of filler). Also, they could have left off the cover tune and made it a B-Side, it contradicts the first song and that has always bothered me

QuoteTheflyingDutchman I always liked Ron Wood's guitar solo on YCAGWYW, I think it's the best he ever played. Apart from that there's nothing new under the sun, imo. I had read that YCAGWYW from Love You Love was taped from a show in Paris, just before the show Keith was informed of a miscarriage and he played the evocative solo in YCAGWYW....I not saying this is correct, just

Loved it since it was released...picked it up the day it came out and it became the soundtrack of that summer for me. Went to the Texas Motor Speedyway show in the Fall. The show was more akin to a festival with Matchbox 20, Dave Mathews Band and the Smashing Pupkins on the bill..had gold lame confetti from the show in my truck until I traded it in a few years later.

Paul Rothchild was quite simply incorrect in his assessment of the LA Woman release. He was also incorrect in his production of The Soft Parade. Odd that their worst album came in the middle of their recording career (with Morrison) Also I’ve read that Rothchild didn’t initially ‘get’ The Doors...it was by Botnick’s insisting that they were great that he finally came to understand their mus
