Back in the day I preferred Bon Jovi to GnR. I still like the Bon but when you go back and listen, Guns n Roses did some damn fine work. Perfect mesh of some serious talent, utterly unstable and destined to fall apart but while they were together, damn.
If there was a better band that started in the 80's, I don't know who it was. |
There's only one band that could follow GnR on stage. Rose Tattoo. With the Rolling Stones circa 1969 there's your trinity. Pre 1980 AC/DC included for good measure. Just about everybody else is really just pretending.
As they say, nice boys don't play rock n roll

I'm with you. I'm happy to put Metallica into the conversation as P4S suggests (dunno about DAAS though  )
Airbourne doesn't get the airplay in Aus but they're pretty damn good too, albeit in the next bracket down.

John Hammond (junior). His father was highly influential in a lot of musical careers & he was responsible in large measure in (re)introducing blues & delta blues & of Robert Johnson to a much wider audience.
His first son John is a fine blues singer / guitarist / musician. Saw him live at the former Continental cafe in Prahran some moons ago.
Listening to his 1992 CD: "Got love if you want it" produced by JJ Cale.

| Holy Wars. Forgetting about whether you do or don't like the music (I do), is the production on Rust in Peace the best sound ever achieved by a recording engineer in the history of properly-loud music? It's so immediate - it's like the band has set up its equipment on the bridge of your nose.... |

Now it's "Marsha's Mood" from John Mayall's The Blues Alone. If you like blues and you haven't heard this one, you should get a copy. It was originally released as a mid-price album in 1967. Mayall was probably a little tired of being in the shadows of his succession of famous guitarists (Clapton, Pete Green and Mick Taylor), so he went into the studio and made an album on which he played and sang everything (6 and 9 string guitars, slide, bass, piano, organ, celeste and his trade-Mark harmonica), apart from some drums on a few tracks. It's a beautiful record that still sounds as fresh and engaging as it did when I first heard it nearly 50 years ago. "Broken Wings" is probably the stand out track from an extraordinary collection but I always rather admired the class of his "Sonny Boy Blow" - although it was a tribute to Sonny Boy Williamson (Mayall's harmonica hero), there is accompanying harmonica but it is mostly a jangle-piano journey.
Just amazing stuff. Twelve wonderful songs, all - believe it or not - recorded on the one day - 1 May 1967. I wish I'd seen that. |

Great song.
Another favourite of mine from Megadeath is Peace Sells.

Paco de Lucia, Al Di Meola & John McLaughlin: Mediterranean Sundance - a De Meola special. Took my brother to them many years ago in Melbourne. Lyrics are great.
