Holy hell Macca, what happened to your head?

I've been demonised (possessed)

Just in time for the footy season - I'm calling it my combative mode.

The first Chicago Transit Authority album was brilliant... they were a real contrast to Blood Sweat and Tears who were a very smooth sounding outfit... CTA at that time had a guitarist who was more influenced by Hendrix than any jazz greats and consequently the sound had a real edge to it.  It was a shame what they became though.
 

 

Hendrix really rated Terry Kath (the guitarist you are talking about). I loved this version of the band but couldn't stand the versions post Kath, fell asleep in their show at the bowl...so bland.

Kath accidentally shot himself unfortunately. Seem to remember a story of playing Russian roulette.

I agree with what you're saying Macca... I was more expressing my personal disappointment :-)  However, if you want brass at its finest in a rock n roll context, try this on for size...
 

 

I'm a fan of "the living end" who started life as a Stray Cats cover band. 

I especially like when Chris Cheney does his guitar solo standing atop his bass players double bass.

Only one thing tops that - I saw the Stray Cats at the forum a few years back and the living end supported them. The living end joined the Cats  on stage. Both double bass players stood next to each other, tilting their instructments to about 45 degrees and Cheney and Setzer leaped onto them and proceeded to do an elevated ripping guitar duel.

Saw one of my favourite quirky performers on the weekend - Kate Miller Heidke  - her husband, Keir Nutall who plays with her is as fine a guitarist as you would see in this country.

Kate does heart tearing ballads and then launches into the quirky with her operatic voice and very original and witty lyrics.

At one stage she told a story of being dared to put a certain lyric into a song. Kate said she wouldn't tell us what the lyric was but we may notice it. Seamelessly, she managed to use the line " I touch my sausage purse" in the middle of a song.

She is very unaffected, funny and ultra talented.

 

On a different note - ( and still quirky) - seeing Steve Poltz tonight at the Caravan Club - if you get a chance to see him - do. He is fabulous.

Damn, I forgot about this awesome thread. 

Who doesn't like watching a middle aged guy dancing awkwardly to metal? He does have a few credits in the bank for being one of the most talented musicians going around in the genre.

 

 

These guys are getting a bit of airplay on triple J and I was impressed when I saw them live late last year.

 

 

This may have been posted already but gets me every time.

Question?????

Watching a tribute on RAGE for Jon English and Ross Hannaford early this morning...

There are some clips that I just can't find on youtube, on the Hanna tribute their was one with Paul Hester that's a ripper...

...and a couple of months ago there was a live clip of the early pre Neil "Split Enz" doing a live version of "Stranger then Fiction". I really loved that pre Neil band probably more than the Neil band. Not knocking Neil though, I had a lot of time for Crowded House.

Does anyone know where you can get these clips or at least get to see them again???

Kate Miller Heidke does the greatest opera version of Psycho Killer by the Talking Heads you could ever see.

If you love a good bass riff:

 

If you love Primus, check out the Residents documentary "Theory of Obscurity",,, they were a massive influence on Primus and members of Primus feature during the documentary.

I seriously believe that AC/DC should have gone completely away from tired old "rockers" (Brian Johnson was bad enough in my opinion) and gone down the route of someone like Nikki Hill... (and her husband is no slouch on the guitar either)... I saw them at Bluefest 2014 and they took the roof off the place! (they were so impressive that Bluesfest had them back again the following year in 2015)

Off to see The Cure on the 28th of July at Rod Laver. Should be fun, hope there are a few songs from their Disintegration Album.

Same them last time around - they were great - played for almost 3 hours - ( Robert Smith has never worn shorts nor has ever felt sand between his toes).

I am going to an interesting gig on Saturday night  - The Brewster Brothers ( Angels ) are doing a introspective,  talking about their journey and in particular the journey of the Angels , interspersed with film clips and some documentary stuff and a little bit of live acoustic music from them.  Should be great.

Well.. i saw something that i didn't think i would ever see.

 

Saw the Brewster Brothers on Saturday night and it was about 2/3's music and the other third a "narrator" asking them questions. They covered their beginnings all the way through to present.

Rick Brewster spent his whole Angels carreer wearing the dark glasses and standing like a statue playing guitar - zero facial expressions. John Brewster talked about their beginnings and they started life in a jug band ! With that the two brothers  jumped off the stage with John playing guitar and Rick playing the washboard and (and harmonising vocals) jumping around banging on his washboard totally out of control.

As they finished a couple of songs. Rick just announced to the crowd " bet you never thought you'd see Rick Brewster doing that !" - he was dead right.

I actually saw them back then (I think at an ANU union night in Canberra in the 70's) when they were known as The Keystone Angels.  I thought they were great... wasn't so keen on the Angels though, I have to admit.  I'm pretty sure one of the former Angels (can't recall which one) has been working in the indigenous communities assisting with raising money for dialysis machines etc.

Can't post any Steel Panther video's given the 'G' rated nature of the site but did enjoy them at Festival Hall on Saturday night...very PC incorrect but at least you know what you are getting into.

After a prompt...the crowd sang a couple of verses of Community Property before the band came in.

They go a bit over the top but they are a very good band when you strip it back to the music...

Pity, but I don't think they will be invited to do the AFL GF.

Saw them at the last Soundwave ( or second last ) - lord or lord - they sent women's issues back to the stone age. But as you say - no surprises so if you are going to be offended don't go.

A question though Rjay - did you show them your boobies ?

Apocalyptica are playing in Melbourne in September - I will be away unfortunately. They are 3 cello players and a drummer doing  metal. I have seen them before and they absolutely go off live - their live videos don't do them justice

No, and my partner declined (she knows the guys in the band and their manager drummer from Extreme in a previous life) although there were still plenty who did...

Amazing what people will do.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
