I didn't bother posting the stuff here - but there are several back and forth statements from Gillian, Blackmore and their managers about why Ritchie did not attend or who got in from the band, and who did not. The last I heard Coverdale and Glenn Hughes were suppose to be there. I guess that changed.

That's nice that Lars inducted Deep Purple. He is a big Deep Purple guy. Maybe some videos will pop up later.

I've read things about the cost to sit at a table before. Someone must pay for a lot of those old acts - who probably don't can't afford that price. I guess Steve did not want to pay.

I was just looking at some photos from last night and noticed CT let Bun play at the ceremony. I think that is pretty cool. I have not yet found out who in Deep Purple was there besides Roger, Gillian, and Ian Paice.

I've had that on my Nook for years. Check out a book called Station Eleven after you read that one.

I think I will pass on this:

That's odd. There is a book called Alice In Chains: The Untold Story. I have not read it though. I wouldn't be surprised if Sebastian Bach pops up there somewhere. I believe he and Axl are close. And he did: My Michelle Axl looks like a character from one those wasteland movies from the 80s in that throne deal.

Another "celebrity" who died on their birthday. I never really listened to his music.

All you need to do is watch some/read some interviews with him to see what the deal is. Does he really think someone in a Porsche from a "big record company" is going to be interested in what he is doing at this point? I think he is a great singer and makes great music. But - much like David Crosby, I would not want to spend any amount of time around the guy. It is nothing new really though - must rock musicians are pricks. I would think you can trust what Steve says about the demands he made concerning the anniversary tour.

They are great - it's just a different trip.

That's interesting.

You have to remember those tracks were overdubbed - so they are not exactly live.

I saw some photos by way of Rolling Stone - so the show did happen last night.

That's about it really. I remember back in the day there was a section on their website called What's Wrong With Steve? where he would answer questions.

He is a prick - but he sure can carry a tune. All that talk about drugs is BS.

I've never heard Wave to the Wind, but I have always liked the lyrics of Eyes of The World.

Ron Sexsmith Doing Cover Songs

I saw this on another message board. I use to watch this show and recall this episode. Phil Lesh on Nash Bridges (2001)

I guess that compilation is up to 11 discs now. Someone put up two more torrents.

I think the other ones I had were Infrared Roses, Grayfolded, Dozin' At The Knick, and Nightfall of Diamonds. I was looking at my tapes the other day and found out that I have Bear's Choice, Shakedown Street, Reckoning, Dylan and The Dead, and Built to Last.

I had that Phil Zone cd. I got rid of that and several others years ago. I don't think I would such a thing now. I may have traded those cds for something else. I can't recall.

It's what the band use to be before they became The Heartbreakers - sort of. There is an album from 2008 that is really good.

The new Mudcrutch album is coming out May 2nd:

It could be. I think I have several of those shows.
