Hey Buster - I am rather embarrssed to admit that I am yet to see em - after hearing good news about for ages.. Bugger i live almost walking distance from the Indi too but haven't been there for years.

Must extract the digit and get out a bit more this winter. Hopefully they - haven't seen the clip yet but is that Rick Whitle on the sticks? Perhaps he is still sporting his perspex kit?

For hard driving rock we need to go back a few years. Ten Years After actually.

IMHO Stevie is very good technically and a good showman but lacks the range and depth of feelings that Hendrix communicated.

Best guitar solo ...


Very good but not "Solo". He has orchestral backing.



If you like Flamenco try Paco Pena.

and with John Williams.

That flemenco guitarist is good. i like flemenco stlye it is so hard and difficult to play using fingerpicking sounds nice.

Hey here is a sample of a guitar lesson by zac wild i find this amusing as its supposed to be a music lesson but he shows u two notes then playes a 1 mineuite guitar solo and says "thats how it should sound listen to his examples how funny.

Some absolutely smokin tunes listed on this thread.

Even thpough i am a pop lover there is sooo much music to get to know and love out there.

Glad to see SRV and some flamenco masters too. Man i wish i could noodle at flamenco.

Here is a longy but love the gtr in this never overplayed and note perfect I reckon





and of course if you are talkin note perfect and restraint with the note count then you can't go past...


(for the impatient typoes tune in at around 3:20)

and



love they way the whole groove steps outside 4/4 (er.. or whatever it is??) then slips back in perfectly again. Awesome.

A solo should never EVER get in the way of the emotion/meaning of the song. THAT'S NEVER hair rockers.


and of course



So simple even i can play it (ahem.. mostly). So briulliant - could I ever compose it - no kn way would I ever have that restraint (ha ha - or talent of course ).


Alternatively for those times when you really do want to hit the overdrive button and let the hair fly around..



Dodgy sound but certainly putting that White Falcon through it's paces..

Sadly the albulm version (Love circa 84) was deluxe but live (after waiting 15 yrs to see em at the BDO) the Cult were a c0ck rock joke.

Ha ha - wish i hadn't come home at 2 am trashed (on a school night) from the Billy Idol concert a few weeks earlier or I would have seen the Cult under age in Melbourne mid 87' (at the joint in St Kilda next to Luna Park??) in their heyday... Sigh..bad move that one.


Rork orn!!

Here are a couple of thundering Aussie rock and roll numbers from Matt Taylor, Phil Manning and Chain.

We had some of the best rock and roll in the world back in the sixties but we didn't export much of it.



These guys are contemporaries of Billy Thorpe, the Emmanuel brothers, Gerry Humphries and Jeff St John.



They still play together and do tours. Nothing like rock and roll to keep you young.

A couple more from the Aussi archives.



That number was later performed by INXS.

Here are a couple that were ahead of their time.



Jeff St John was a top stage artist and a paraplegic.

I was at the Train last year some time and there was a bloke reclining in his car. For all I knew he was asleep but I think he was just getting a mental fix from a cd he was playing. It was the most amazing music, a genre I have never heard before and difficult to describe. It was I think mainly keyboard but it may have been totally computer/synth. It was an absolute tangle of notes about a quick uniform rhythm that had no discernible bar length. You might call it 1/1 time.

I have wondered ever since if it was specific mental health music. A search of Youtube didn't turn up anything.

Does anyone have any clue as to what it might be?

Actually it is great and well worth a listen!
I loved it.
Really cruisy tune, the words fit well and cooking for one is a lament we can all relate to.
Your voice and manner are perfect for it.
Playing the toothpast tube is an interesting touch.
It probably is a little long, but well worth working on. I think it could be a hit!

Aww shucks, thanks guys,
but i don't know that it belongs here in the same list as the above songs..... although, there is some tunes (very few) above i wouldn't rate all that highly, but that's the great thing about music. Everyone gets to be an expert on what they like. Really great to see so very little sledging of people on this topic. Music does bring people together.

great timing renewing this thread.

i got my hands on a copy of the latest sonic youth album.



if you're a fan it's on the money. sounds like a backcatalogue of their past 20 years of quality but a little slicker again.
