This is a hometown band. My friend was married to the drummer.

I LOVE THIS SONG.

I was lucky enough to see Jimi Hendrix perform live at the Houston Colosseum.

Aww damn you oldies :wink: wish I was there.
 
"Mad World"- Gary Jules (remake)

"I'm bad" -Michael Jackson. Laugh all you want, MJ has sold almost a billion albums worldwide and OWNS the beatles.


"ace of spades" - Motorhead. Classic anthem for all the metal heads.


"What's Golden" -Jurassic 5. Best hip-hop group of all time


"We didn't start the fire"- Billie Joel. I'm always impressed whenever I hear this song. A ton of research must have been put into this song.

There were a lot of Italian bands in the 80s who sang in English, some of which formed the core of the so-called Italo Disco, great stuff

One of my favourites, I have seen QOTSA live with Dave Grohl on drums at the Ozzfest in Milton Keynes bowl, I saw Ozzy with Tony Iomi doing paranoid etc as well.:smile:

Awesome was the first time I'd ever heard of them let alone seen them live.

Unfortunately, there aren't too many videos from the early 70's. Most of what I find are performances from the 1990's or 2000's, and the live performances weren't as good as 20-30 years earlier. :frown:

I saw them in the first show of the tour promoting their first album. Jimmy Page once said that Donald Roeser (Buck Dharma) was his favorite guitarist, and "Cities on Flame" sure brought that home. The concert was a triple bill - the Byrds, Blue Oyster Cult, and John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu orchestra. The Byrds came out first, which surprised the heck out of me, then B.O.C. came out and tore the place up. My ears were ringing when they left the stage and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to hear McLaughlin very well (nice electric jazz, like on his previous albums). No worries! He came out with a Les Paul plugged straight into 100 watts of Fender Twin Reverb, and I swear the volume was maxed. My girlfriend and I tore filters off her cigarettes and stuffed them in our ears. We were sitting in the front row with our legs under the risers, so we pretty much got max volume. Skip Batten (bassist for the Byrds) kept smiling and making eyes at my girlfriend - luckily she didn't reciprocate and go party with the band, since I paid for the tickets. :-p

BTW, a biker friend of mine in Providence is friends with Roeser and the other guys in B.O.C. and he kept teasing about bringing Roeser up to one of the blues jams I was hosting at a local tavern, so he could show me some REAL guitar-playing.

Well, that must have been a great concert!

Btw, I just downloaded some of the BOC stuff, it's absolutely great. A total refreshment.

Edit: and I just realized they wrote Astronomy.
 
who sang the song that has the lyrics:

and the first time ever i kissed your lips i felt the earth...something something?

that is a good song!
