And on that very ninth day when the acid kiddies had finally gone to bed,God said it's time for the adults to have some fun.

But instead they listened to that?

Haha! Not sure how Aphex Twin fits in here CCJ. Blob re. your Kings X vid, I saw them way back in the day when my friend was editor of Metal Hammer magazine. TBH I've never been a fan of heavy metal, if we're talking rock specifically, prefer heavy rock, or...er... just plain rock! And on that note, this'll put hairs on your chest...

[Blobbers]

Well yes,heavy rock,blues rock and other derivatives .... but having said that I've been partial toAphex in the past,Windowlicker and Come To Daddy.
I've been watching/listening to rock from the early sixties,Blues Boom onwards,billions of decibels gone down me lug'oles.(and as a roadie)
A zep soundalike recently...

And you're most welcome mate.
Croydon is very much a part of rock history.There was The Star Hotel just opposite where The Cartoon is/was.Saw Fleetwood Mac,Jimi Hendrix and Cream there.
And round the corner was The Mumtaz Indian reestaurant - a must for post gigs.

Yes mate, The Cartoon was quite a rock venue. Back when punk started The Greyhound was a big venue with The Clash, Siouxsie and The Boomtown Rays playing there. I think Queen might have played there but I was too young to have gone to that. The Damned are a Croydon band as well.

Well if we're talking Blackmore....

For me, the greatest single live song ever:

[QPRDave]

Surely Smoke on the water

[Hubble]

Surely Smoke on the water

Matter of taste. Purple fan from early 70s, absolutely love Smoke on the Water, but Burn live in California, that performance just blows me away.


*Note I said live song

[QPRDave]

Fair enough Hub, you'll know more about it than me mate

[Blobbers]

Early rock geetarists?Mr.Tone himself,Leslie West,with that old '58 Les Paul Junior through a SUNN pa top.Absolutely monstrous live.
