I'd be all over a Tin Machine thread.

The John Paul Jones wikipedia page has a quote from Jimmy Page in which he refers to his work on Hurdy Gurdy Man session: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Paul_Jones_(musician) "I was working at the sessions for Donovan's Hurdy Gurdy Man, and John Paul Jones was looking after the musical arrangements. During a break, he asked me if I could use a bass player in the new group I was forming. He had a proper music training, and he had quite brilliant ideas. I jumped at the chance of getting him.[13]"

Not really digging it. The writing style is tedious and there is very little information here that anyone with a base level knowledge of the group doesn't already know. I'm quitting this book, and will begin this one tonight:

Kinda like Joe Cocker (although he did co-write some real gems, like Marjorine, Change in Louise, and Sandpaper Cadillac, from his first album). Incidentally, another singer who worked with Jimmy Page.

That's cool info! I knew it was Beck on guitar on that track, but I didn't realize the other musicians were the Beck Group.

I was in a band that opened for 5ive Style once, so I sort of met Leroy. Actually, they pulled rank and insisted on playing second out of three bands, forcing us into the last slot. So in a way, they opened for us, leaving us to play to an empty room.

If he had only been more popular.

You can get that from an Amazon private seller for $14.49. The Interplay box sells for a similar price through Amazon sellers. I got my Side Steps box on Saturday. A bargain at twice the price. So far I've only listened to the first disk. Good stuff!

Only when you open the thread.

Cool, thanks. I think I have mostly middle period stuff. The Real Macaw , and other '80s keyboard drenched stuff like that.

At the risk of derailing a Crazy Horse thread too far into Graham Parker territory, can you name one or tow of the best Parker albums? I've been meaning to get more of his stuff, since I hear songs of his that I like fairly often. I probably have three or four of his albums, but the only one that I think is solid is this:

So Ticketmaster is probably getting more money per ticket than whatever cause the show is a benefit for.

Those things by themselves are good enough, but when combined with this: Well, need I go on?

Or Kiss.

Just wanted to note that this is at least the second time Stryper has graced this forum in one week.

I'll go out on a limb here and say that there are probably a lot more terrible Graham Parker albums than terrible Rumour albums. Unfortunately, I seem to own most of the bad Graham records. Re: Crazy Horse. Sure, they play like cavemen, but I doubt you'll be hearing a group of "good" musicians play a convincing version of Sedan Delivery.

Yeah, also Dylan supposedly asked him "why do you play with those guys?"

Heh, I bought a Rumour record for $1 a few months ago. I can't seem to get around to listening to it.

I had a girlfriend once that didn't like the Beatles. She did like Concrete Blonde, though.

Everyone except for Creed, who just went on enjoying his bowl of noodles.

I like SBS better.

Look!! There is Life on Earth!
