I'm really hot and cold about him. After the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame debacle, it left a bad taste in my mouth. Just like the Blondie thing. I've got over 700 items in my Blondie collection alone. It made me want to pitch it all in the trash. Scotty

One of my top 5 was left out. Mick Green of The Pirates. If my failing memory serves me correctly, there was an blurb about him in Trouser Press. It said that he was a favorite of Jimmy Page, Richie Blackmore and Pete Townshend, and influenced them all to pick up the guitar. It also stated that Pete nicked his now famous 'windmill' style from Mick after seeing him play in the late 5

As stated by others here, I'm having a hard time stomaching the negative posts on this thread. Whether you dislike punk or not, you can't ignore the impact the Pistols and NMTB had on the music industry. They opened the door for the DIY ethic that was so lacking in music at that time. Some say Keith was the original punk. This is an opinion that can be debated 'ad nauseum'

The stage was too small so he did 2 1/2 hrs of hits and left 2 Greendale songs for the first encore. Then he played 2 more encores and almost came out for a fourth. One of the bes

I guess were talkin' about Stones songs here. 1) Satisfaction - true stereo version 2) Midnight Rambler - I sing this at kareoke(?) nights. I've been told it sounds like Danzig meets the Stones. Scotty

I'm glad for this thread. Did anyone see them at the Wiltern in LA? Who was the opening band? No, not that horrible chick group!! I recognized Phil from Motorhead on drums. Who were the others? They weren't that bad, I'd see them again. Scotty, Irvine

A friend made boots in the 70's. They said they would send copies of each Stones release they did to the New York office to pass on to the band. Scotty

Not including the Stones for obvious reasons. 1) X - Billy Zoom is very under rated. 2) early James Harman Band - The pairing of Hollywood Fats & Kid Ramos was scary. 3) early Fab T-Birds - Jimmie Vaughn taught Stevie how to play. 4) Dr. Feelgood - 99.9% of people will say 'Who's Wilko Johnson?'. 5) Sex Pistols - Changed the course of rock 'n' roll.

I've got to weigh in on this one. 1) Dave Mathews 2) Hootie and The Blow Hards 3) Springsteen - I just don't get him. Start the hate responses for this one. 4) Phish - I hate bands that noodle/jam. 5) Any Los Angeles hair band. Scotty

Oh god, where do I start. A girlfriend dragged me to see the Gypsy Kings. Drank so much beer she had to drive home. Then another girlfriend, who thought she was doing me a favour because Gwyn(?) used to come into my friends record store in Anaheim to buy ska records, took me to see No Doubt. Jeez, over hyped no talents. This reminds me why I'm single and go to Stones shows alone!

I'm gonna get alot negative responses for this but I personally think LCD and plasma TVs are overrated and overpriced. I have yet to see one that has better picture quality than my 32" JVC CRT. Sure, the newer TVs have a 'bright' picture but they are slow to react to a picture that has alot of movement in it. Ghosting, smearing and fuzziness seems to be a problem. I'm

Probably not everyones taste but here goes - The Plasmatics - Whiskey A Go Go 1981? Never seen nothin' like it before or since. The Cramps - Ikabods, Fullerton CA. late '70s. See comment above.

The GR is technically right, bootlegging differs from piracy in a legal sense. Recording a concert and trading it, free of charge, technically does not brake the law. But when you accept money for the recording, you have broken the law. Songs, whether on albums, played on the radio, or live in concert, are covered by copyright laws. The artists and record companies have all the angles covered
