Not a Queen fan, but there is no doubt that Freddie was a magnetic frontman. The Mrs does like Queen so we went to see it. If we were being polite, we would describe it as somewhat lightweight. If we weren't being polite, we would describe it as s**t.

Quotetomk If I remember the story correctly, Keith's original was a prototype which was later stolen or lost, and the replacements were not as good. I've had two Silhouettes , and I think they're excellent guitars, the one's like KR and Wood used. I've always thought KR was attracted to it because the neck is similar to the Dan Armstrong.

Ladies and Gentlemen....... Twickenham is one absolute dirty bastard of a venue, and the last time we were there for a gig we promised ourselves that we would never go back to that sorry excuse of a shithole ever again. How they even get a licence to put on a major event with that station in the state that it is is beyond me. Perhaps it might be different this time we told ourselves. Was it bollo

As soon as I heard Izzy and Adler were not involved I knew this comeback was 95% about cash, and that's when I decided to give it a miss. When a band does a tour for mostly nothing more than money, it's not gonna go well, and judging by the comments from people I know who went to both Berlin and Donnington, it's a tragic parody of what was once a good band.

I think that GNR left it way to late in the day to come back. I think that even their biggest fan will agree that their return was not greeted with the fanfare they expected. Tickets were not hard to come by, and the response in the press has been muted at best. It's all been a bit Meh. A bit of a damp squib. There's no denying that.... As this is a Stones forum, lets compare it to w

A massive thumbs up to Ed Sheeran and others like him that care about their fans. The word is integrity, Something The Stones lack when it comes to such things...... I may not rate the mans music that much, but Ed is obviously a lovely bloke. If only all artists carried the same morals he does.
