Efros Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 She lived in that valley in California where all the 60s musicians hung out together, can't remember the name of it just now, but yes she had far more influence than most people realize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfswetpaws Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 9 hours ago, Snargfargle said: It's pretty amazing to me that Linda essentially formed the Eagles. "I was playing country rock music with a pedal steel player but I couldn't afford to take a pedal steel player on the road. Bernie played this guitar, it was invented by Clarence White and had a pedal on the second string. It was a real technique to learn how to play it but Bernie knew how to play it so it could sound like a pedal steel. So I had two for one and had him in the band as much as I could but he was also working with The Flying Burrito Brothers and their career took off and they got a lot of gigs where he couldn't play with me anymore. I was living with John Davis out there at the time who had been partners with Glenn Frey. They had a duo together called the Long Bridge Penny Whistle and so I knew Glenn could play pretty well so I thought I'd get Glenn to replace Bernie even though he didn't play the pedal guitar. And one night I was walking through the Troubadour. I heard this band called Shiloh and they were playing my version of Silver threads and Golden Needles and I thought wow they look they're writing another song, maybe I could get their drummer. They'd come recently from Texas but he agreed to do it and that's how I introduced Glenn to Don and they started writing songs together and then they decided to form a band so we suggested Bernie visit Randy who could sing higher than God and the four of them came over to rehearse. They were an excellent vocal band" -- Linda Ronstadt 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HogHammer Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 The movie Goldfinger turned 60 a few days ago. The song Goldfinger, sung by Shirley Bassey to this day, is one of the better theme songs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't particularly like any version of Nightclubbing tho... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iggy and The Stooges were so far ahead of their time... when you come to think this sound dates back to 1969. Then the guy himself has the most rock-and-roll attitude there is... and the dude is still alive and kicking, it's just uncanny. 21 minutes ago, Admiral_Karasu said: It vaguely reminds me of something, but I can't for the world remember what it is.

clammboy Posted Monday at 09:24 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:24 PM (edited) Grand Funk railroad live Mark Farner drummer Don brewer and bass player Mel Schacher these 3 guys put out a wall of music. The bass player is crazy good so is everybody and they all sing to. Nirvana is closest I have seen where 3 guys could put out so much sound and that was when they were first starting out. Also I believe lead singer Mark Farner was only 19 when this song was done. Edited yesterday at 01:37 AM by clammboy 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral_Karasu Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago Since you lot of old fossils here like to post stuff from four or five decades ago, I thought I'd post some brand new tracks. You get exactly one guess where this music comes from. The first one sounds interesting, the video is kind of interesting too. The second one, it's ... rap?... or something, I don't actually know this genre at all so don't know if it's good or not, but the visuals and special effects are stunning.

For some weird reason, this reminded me of the "Smell the Glove" album by "Spinal Tap". 🙂 Very different song lyrics and concepts, though. 🙂 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088258/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HogHammer Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Everyone is sharing some excellent music - some new and some old. Lots of memories. One of my favorite bands was Badfinger (and there is a rather tragic story behind the band and the record industry at the time). They have many good songs, but this one is just about perfect—from its vocals to the flow of instruments. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
