I always loved them......reminded me of a more melodic,polished(but not better) version of the Who.

Byron era.....then Goalby.

Gotta be "Voodoo Highway" for me....but not by much! 3 day funk, silver horses, the last time and a version of fire and rain that makes the tune their own. Having said that, I tend to listen to these albums,and "Dusk" if the truth be known, in whole sittings. The most missed American rock band in the world.......ever!!!!!!

Winger - "Pull". Guitarwise, the sound of this album is superlative.....never heard anything that even approaches it since.

He also played for the beach boys Carl Wilson, just prior to joining Giuffria,on his 1983 solo tour......great drummer imho!

This sounds like an utter monster album.....Aldrich sounds in top form again, which is always good news!!

Probably one of the best tracks that i've heard this year..........Mr Smith in fine Blackers aping form, what he does best.

Great band and I hope they carry on with a replacement.........Ritchie Kotzen or Simon mc Bride, for example.

Just a heads up to any of the Belfast mob who fancy seeing a rock legend playing their masterpiece 1973 double album in its entirety......plus a side order of their hits. Tickets are pricey though at 59 and 69 quid!! Still probably the last chance we'll have to see them. Tickets on sale at 9am this friday.

Glenn Hughes- Burning Japan Live (1994) Hughes at his best,when just singing and not playing bass,with half of Europe as his backing band. I never tire of listening to it.

The yanks love a sob story, and a come-back kid story even more.........and Van Halen were/are a successful arena act ,unlike the boul Michael. I would ask him if he would do a tour based on a particular album, as so many artists are doing now.....such as a set-list based on the "Live at Budokan" album,for example.

The question i would ask him would be "Is it your round,Michael?" Seriously, I reckon the real reason he is not lionised by the general public,as Page and Blackers rightly are is that they havent blackened their copy book with shocking behaviour and alcohol related debauchery, or if they have they've kept their demons quiet (As with Page and his decade+ heroin habit) Unfortunately,Sch

It seems from the oddyssey website that Thunder are indeed joining this tour in Belfast instead of mainland only.....What a line-up!

Sweet Jesus!!....I was just about to book flights to Birmingham for this gig. Thanx for the heads up.

One of the finest albums of all time, although I probably spend more time listening to"Private eyes" these days. A much missed genius imho.

A girl I know said the last time she had sex it was like the 100 metres final, I said "Do you mean that it was over in nine seconds?" She said "No, eight black men and a gun!"

Yep, Strange and beautiful is a cracker of an album, really different from the debut and "Trancendence" and all the better for it.

It beats "Into the arena" into a cocked hat! Discuss.

I really love this album, Andy......probably because I saw the band live for the first time on this tour and remember playing the album to death. You cant really argue with the likes of Rock my nights away, still love that little devil, and my favourite ever Schenker moment "Captain Nemo"........There is a bit of filler, though, and you really need the yank re-mix. Looking forward to

Yep, I would also recommend "Assault attack" as the album containing his finest playing and the superlative voice of Graham Bonnet. Also recommended: UFO-Walk on water (1995) UFO-Obsession (1978) MSG-Built to destroy (1983)

Deep Purple- This time around, from come taste the band. Just Glenn Hughes and Jon lord......it really dont get better than this. I heard this on Tommy Vances Friday rock show whe I was 12 or 13, a long time ago.

"Come taste the band",has been my favourite ever rock album for most of mt adult life.....Hughes,Bolin,Coverdale??, how could it go wrong?? Well,about 6 months later it did go wrong and the band imploded, but not without leaving this album, which is frankly flawless. I have always loved MK4 AND 3 Purple over the Gillan/Glover era, yet love the Perfect Strangers album. Still, my idea
