I played guitar in a rock band in the 80's in Newcastle England I just loved bands like Boston and Journey. Brad had a lovely purity and range in his voice it was just amazing. I read of Brad's passing no mention was made of why I was confused and I wondered just why. I have suferred from depre...

Jan has Richie Blackmore's technique and David Gilmore's style and feel just wonderful wonderful wonderful !!! As an accomplished guitar player (retired) I am in awe it makes me want to play again. Why did Inot know Ackermans playing when I was learning guitar? My heroes were Alex Lifeson and Ste...

Yes she was an Angel. I wish I was back in the early 70's. Those were lovely days. I an 46 so I should have nostalgia for the 80's but I fucking hated the 80's IN THE 80's. It was an awful time

We all know that this was Roger's first lament to his best friend Roger Barrett. My best friend took his own life in 1988 aged 22 because he had broken up with his girlfriend, They had been together since school. He was a brilliant drummer in the John Bonham mould and I was the cheeky Eddie Van H...

@mrbrianmccarthy It is not a strat it was before Ed dumped a PAF in a Charvel Strat. And it aint a Les Paul. Maybe an Ibanez Destroyer through his Marshall Superlead. We cant really judge the tone as it is a very early demo but Ed still plays brilliantly even with a crappy sound we can hear the g...

Love Peace undertanding. You can undertand why Dan shaved his head when the record company was billing them as the "Multi Racial Bon Jovi". Why would a brilliant band like this wish their work to be associated with the crappest blow dried pathetic cod rock metal pop band of the 80's. Bon Jovi = s...

This just set the bar and blew everyone of the established guitarists out of the water. It still sounds great 33 years on. Any EVH haters should listen to this. Eddie never set out to be a guitar hero he was a shy little Dutch kid who just wanted to practice practice practice while his older brot...

@M13FKU -Eddie only asked Dave to join the band as he had a PA to rent in 1973. Ed did not rate DLR at first. Gene Simmons only funded VH's demos as he wanted to poach EVH to join Kiss. They are back together now. I am only pissed off as Ed has put his kid on Bass and fallen out with Mike. I do n...

@racourdav Chill dude please :) This just reminds me of family holidays I had in the SW of Scotland in the 70's. Our families could not afford to go abroad. I remember dad and uncle Marty playing Eagles and Doobie Brothers songs into the night and drinking beer around the camp fire. My dear uncle...

@muvitup1 I have to agree dude Mike gave the harmonies what they were. I played this in a great 4 piece in a bar in 1984 when I was 18. We had a brilliant drummer who was so John Bonham, sadly committed suicide in 1988 after splittin with his GF aged 22. I looked about as cool as a hot shit but ...

Never mind Chris has a great vocal on this nothing to freak about. Chris was just a bit down and left it a while before he put this to the band. He did not think it would fit in

@szevetch Frank succomed to too much alcohol that his family had done. Jon Beck was always jealous of Franks status in the band and there was a kind of edge in the band. Frank and Rich and Bob grew up in Egremont. Jon came in as he was from Whitehaven. If the truth be known Jon Beck was the brill...
