WillytheWabbit:

I must have the memory span of a goldfish!!!!!  How could I have overlooked the likes of Satriani, Malmsteen and Vai, whose playing on Dave Lee Roth's album ''Eat 'Em And Smile'' was God-Like. Do you remember his cameo role as the devil's guitarist in the film Crossroads with Ralph (Karate Kid ) Macchio as the young upstart?

... and how Vai had to do the guitar closeups for old "Wax on, wipe off"?

But, if we're talking guitarists, add Dave Gilmour, Eddie Van Halen and Angus Young to the list.

was'nt into Sky...but Herbie Flowers was / is one of the best bass players of all time.

Sky was made up of some of the finest session musicians on the planet at the time, including John Williams and released about 4 or5 albums (memory playing up again).

Their version of Bach's ''Toccata'' was so unusual at the time.

This could go on and on and on and on and on.............

I'm going to get my leather anorak out of the attic and get my Nikki Sixx wig back from the pawnbrokers!

Are Cuban heels, cowboy boots and tight jeans still in fashion?

Blimey!! And I thought that it was just me that had all that clobber still in the loft LOL

I think that Dave Gilmour is amazing, I am huge fan of his solo stuff as well as Pink Floyd.

Jeff Beck could also be added to that list, as could Brian May.

However, moving off track slighty, has anyone ever heard Ozric Tentacles?  There's another band that I'd add to my list

Good grief, how could you think you were alone in keeping some of the finest stood coolly at the bar gear ever?!! Much better than chinos, boating shoes and a lack of socks! (Miami Vice has a lot to answer for). Still got my denim jacket cut-off as well.

Ozric Tentacles does ring some bells I thought I'd lost years ago. Can you refresh my memory on that one?

Take a look on You Tube. Some amazing music videos have been posted on there. You'd be surprised at what you can find. Just search the artist name under the music category.

Want to see "Toccata" being played by a guitarist...?

LOL, I was a bit different from you, I was still at school then (I was the only one in Tiree High School - it's an island on the west coast of Scotland if anyone wants to know - with a mullet and cowboy boots LOL) and uni afterwards

The Ozrics are a bit rock tantric ish.  Strangetude is probably their best album, in my opinion.  Have a look here.

I've been on You Tube a lot recently, though mostly looking for videos of Minis

Another good artist is Craig Armstrong.  If you like the music they use on Top Gear he's one of the artists.  Rob Dougan is another one they use.

Cheers

Sorry for the change of subject, This is my kind of thing, but this just shows you what Jimi thought about music.

Queen

queen, over rated cartoon caricatures, pomp rock nonsense, "IWANT TO MAKE TEA"

Bohemian rhapsody scaramoosh scaramoosh makes my skin crawl even more than ferral pigeons, Imagine by john lennon and jehovahs witnesses.

Just like post-Peter Gabriel genesis.

aural soundscapes for people who couldn't be arsed to travel beyond their comfort zone and see what was really happening at the time.

like Glass of champagne by sailor... and those mad welsh lot...Man and Budgie.

Ozrics were cool. but not as "happening" as the ORB.

Galliano?

and Bob Dylan...wtf...a poor mans Donovan.

spooky tooth / uriah heep / Chicken Shack / John Foxx

and to echo Bolton Dave....Numan.

oh yes....and the shelf,,,, as featured at http://www.shelfpics.com/page16.htm

Queen has done some legendary songs and have done their contribution to music but i do agree they could of done better.

One man that i am really into at the moment is David Gilmour in concert - Royal Festival Hall 2002. Even though his voice has deteriated a lot and can't really hit the notes but is still sensational.
