Personally, I preferred the Bike Sheds at school.;)
"You, yes you. You behind the bike shed - Stand still laddie". :):p:)

Enough, the heid's closing down cos he needs to check out of his hotel in around 5 hours from now so's he'll make his flight to Bahrain tomorrow.

Hi from Oz land, and I can't get enough metal music :eek:

My fav AC/DC hit is Thunderstruck: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XO5Xd7_MXn4

Cold Chisel was also a huge band downunder and their biggest hit was Khe Sahn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH07B90NFjE

Khe Sahn was about an Aussie Vietnam Veteran having probs fitting back into civil life. Of course there were very few Aussies at Khe Sahn, but that's artistic license for you. The lead singer of Cold Chisel was Jimmy Barnes and like the Young brothers (Angus & Malcolm) in AC/DC he came from Scotland. There must be plenty of Metal Heids in Scotland eh Harry :)

And not to leave the Yanks out. My fav American Band is the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but their Bass player (Flea) does happen to be an Aussie By The Way :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdagH15ZEwQ

In this clip the lead singer Tony gets into a cab driven by an over the top Chili fan who takes him on a wild ride until he gets rescued by Flea (blue hair) and John (lead guitar) in a yellow Jeep, at the end the cabbie picks up another band member, Chad the drummer, here we go again.

I really liked some of the Brian Johnston AC/DC stuf;Hells Bells,Shake your foundations and you shook me etc.But i think they never quite recaptured the feel of the Bon Scott era.If you see Johnston singing 'Rosie' or 'The Jack' somehow doesn't work.

Any time I see Brian Johnston singing I can't help but think of his previous teenybopper band - "Geordie". Having said that, I saw them in Edinburgh years back just after Back in Black was released and Brian certainly ROCKED.
I really like the Back in Black album. They could have rolled over and died, but came back with a classic.

TO OZDIGGER,Yup, Scotland has its fair share of Heid Bangers - Been one myself all my life. In fact Paranoid by Black Sabbath was the first LP I ever bought, and I still listen to it occasionally....:eek: Aye, them wuzz the days.:p

Music is another of those Kul-Churral things that brings widely differing people together - just like collecting toy sodjers. :)
 
Scotland is legendary for headbanging!!!.The one concert i always regret missing was Status Quo live at the Glasgow Appollo in 1976.They reckon it was amazing.There is a website devoted to the memory of the Appollo in which Quo/AC/DC are generally accepted as the best bands to ever play at that venue.I was lucky enough to see both AC/DC and Quo (88 times:eek:)during their heyday (1970's)and both were stunning live.Can't understand why i get ringing in my ears these days:D

I have read interviews with both bands who say Scotland had the most fanatical frenzied fans of all.Rock on!!:cool:

I wuz there....:p
In addition, I saw Quo when they were back up band to Slade in 1972, only the Appollo was called Green's Playhouse back then. Also saw Led Zeppelin there just after the release of Zep4..:p Awesome stuff.
I reckon its the tradition of pipe music that makes us love the rockier stuff. We're used to a cacophony LOL.
Oh well, back to toy soldiers.
Anyone heard the song "Toy Soldiers" by Markita? :D:D

Nope - it was 1972 when I saw the Quo, also Rory Gallagher, Slade, Zeppelin, Genesis, and Strider - all in the same year, and this on a student income. Saw Gary Glitter Band as well but that was the current girlfriends fault, honest M'Lud. Had a ticket to go and see Free at the time "Free at Last" was released, but Paul Kossof fell off the stage in Newcastle and the gig got cancelled. :(
By the time the band reformed for the "Heartbreaker" tour they didn't include Glasgow in the itinerary. :mad:

Aye, Free & Bad Company. Better include them in the Best Bands of All Time Gallery. Along with the Kinks, Small Faces, the Animals, Spencer Davis Group, Purple, Rainbow, Ian Gillan Band, Whitesnake, Uriah Heep, Jeff Beck, Peter Green, Clapton, the Cult, Nazareth, Lennon, Sabbath, Family, RS & the Faces, Stones, Procul Harum, Tull, Cream, Yes, and the Who.

On the other side of the pond, Otis "Long Time Coming" - absolute classic, Tom Petty, Mamas and the Papas, John Sebastian, Alice Cooper, Temptations, Four Tops, Jimi H, George Benson, Satchmo, Percy Sledge, band who did "White Rabbit", "Embryonic Journey", "Crown of Creation" - name escapes me at the moment, the Doors, Mr Brown, CSN&Y, Kansas, Eva Cassidy and James Taylor. Okay, JT wasn't a band, but I liked him. :)

And there's sooooooo muuuuuuch more.
 
Loads of gigs there Harry.My concert history is mainly Quo,Queen,Ac/Dc,Rolling Stones,ZZ top,Boomtown Rats,Pink Floyd,Dire Straits, Genesis,Rod Stewart,Live Aid,David Bowie and a Girlfriend dragged me along to Michael Jackson at Milton Keynes Bowl.

I guess we are both two of the only people to actually confess to seeing Gary Glitter live (he supported Quo at the MK Bowl),but his name is almost as bad as Jack the ripper and Dr Crippen these days!!

Status Quo? I have pictures of matchstick men running through my head . I still have one of their albums on vinyl.

Yeah that was their first hit.They were so good from the early seventies until mid eighties,but then they lost it big time.Shame because they were stunning live.

From what I've heard the voice is gone and she doesn't perform anymore but Kanter does and has been in the area recently.

Yeah, I was thinking Jefferson Starship, but I knew that wasn't right.
Sheesh....Grace Slick must be around 70 by now? Great, gret, great, music we grew up with. Feel sorry for kids nowadays with their Gangsta stuff.
