BBC 4now

[Andy Collins]

I'm guessing BBC4 had its highest viewing figures evr last night, everyone I know was watching it. Maiden programme was interesting from looking at the logistics of moving such a stage show around the globe. Incredible bands, both of them.

Bugger, missed it:thumbdown: The Live in Munich DVD comes out regularly to rattle the windows, great band....any lead singer that drives a vintage Bentley around California is true rock and roll:lol:

I believe they are doing another UK tour soon? Will deffo be going. Last time I saw them was Stiff Upper Lip at the NEC. Best live band in the world.

long live rock n roll. Whitesnake, Journey and Thunder on mini UK tour this year. Might be worth watching

[Andy Collins]

I never really counted Journey or Chunder as r n r, Whitesnake were borderline. A mate went and saw Slade and the Sweet the other day, reckons they were crap. This is the problem when old bands try and keep rocking into old age. but AC DC and maiden still can do it, properly, along with the Stones. I wa saying to the lads last night, look at those guys, same age as your Grandad, and he's asleep in his chair most of the day, kind of puts it in perspective just how active they still are.

Rock and Roll, yes. Heavy metal, No.

 

Have seen Maiden before (excellent) Have seen journey 3 times before. Don't be put off by 'don't stop believing' these guys can really rock. Neal Schoen is one hell of a guitarist. Last time I saw them about 2 years ago the sound was really bad though. Saw them with Styx and foreigner who were both excellent. Also recomment seeing Rush who are also in the UK this year.

[Andy Collins]

Now Rush were something else, still like listening to their stuff. Back in school I liked Yes, though today I find it too "prog rock" tastes change with age I suppose.

[daveindales]

Never could get into Yes, like you, found them too prog.

 

Richie Blackmore and Ronnie James Dio, the classic Rainbow line-up, was into them quite a big way. Now Dio's gone so no chance of seeing him 'Live'. Found they went downhill when Dio left. Was also into UFO in a big way. Doctor, Doctor please !!!
