Good to see this business tied up. Sounds like an ok deal all round & certainly worth a punt at the price. Time will tell. Ok - next!

Lovin' it. Ruling this thread Moofman. I'm a bit startled my Crapenters (see what I did there?) post didn't get any reaction 'cos I hate that shit... but I guess I'm kinda fascinated by the contradiction that, although its gotta be one of the most inane songs ever, its without doubt the one that caused a lot of twats of my generation to stop in their tracks while listening to the radio and say "hang on a sec - I think I kinda like this guitar shit". As a Belfast boy born & bred I'm lucky enough to have seen Lizzy live on many occasions and with various lineups so I enjoyed those posts. Not a mind-boggling solo from Gorham but really fitting and actually the one track that sums up this lineup as being tighter than a gnatt's ass. My entry for the "Best solo I'd like to have seen live" competition. Sykes taking the lead role here with Philo, Gorham & Downey. Fuck me - small pub atmosphere and Holy Christ - being introduced by Frank Carson. Sorry I missed it. YouTube - ‪Thin Lizzy - Cold Sweat GOOD AUDIO‬‏ Gotta harp on a bit again here guys and post some more Steve Morse stuff as he is undoubtedly the best guitarist alive. I guarantee you'll actually remember this tune as well as rating the axemanship: YouTube - ‪STEVE MORSE BAND - Simple Simon‬‏ Bit faster technique displayed here (to be honest I think hes on a windup its soooo easy and casual) but still with the famous Morse "feel": And finally, how to say STFU in the nicest possible way: YouTube - ‪Guitar Center Sessions: Steve Morse & Steve Lukather - "Little Wing" [Part 1]‬‏

Great thread this, brilliant mix of some stuff already on my radar and other material thats new to me. I sense a drift towards the middle of the road in some of the last few posts so lets crash straight into the central reservation with this one: Btw - as a matter of interest how do you guys embed videos?

Elvis? Chipshop surely. Dunno about markups etc but maybe tiling (particularly floor tiling but maybe all types) might be a good match with what you're already doing?

Being an ancient aul git I it took me donkeys years to move to CD from Vinyl and I'm still stuck on books here. Was talking to a couple of mates about the Kindle the other day and was making the point that I'm a bit of a snob in terms of what I read and actually enjoy sitting on hols and "posing" on the beach or by the pool with my current read (like anybody would actually give a fuck what I'm reading). Guess its a little like the cover artwork being a big part of owning old LPs. Or something. Anyhow, my mate gave me the weirdest look and said "What the fuck are you on about? Most of the time I don't want anybody to know what I'm reading, not the other fucking way round". He has a point, I guess.

Ohhh thank you God. I'm lovin' this to be honest.

Bloody hell mate, steady on. You'll need more than a magic sponge to sort yerself out after that one :eek:

No thread like this should be Steve Morseless! Check these out: YouTube - ‪Deep Purple - Steve Morse Guitar Solo part1 HD1999‬‏ YouTube - ‪Deep Purple - Steve Morse Guitar Solo part2 HD 1999 (Live in Melbourne)‬‏ Or, if you prefer: YouTube - ‪Steve Morse Classical Guitar Solos‬‏

I'll be fairly happy if/when Adam arrives - looks like a decent piece of business for the club and I think hes a player who can do a job for us. But to compare him to Souness in his pomp? Naaah don't think so, Souness was scarily awesome.

Oh and errr yeh Cohen isn't half bad either.

1/ Tom Waits. 2/ Marc Bolan. Thats about it really outside of "proper" poetry.

Ok didn't get away with the delaying tactic. He never winked at me I'm tellin' ya. Was trying to give myself time to fire up the plastic brain and think of a lot of reasons to pick Barnes. Now we've had all these replies that as a Liverpool fan I'd agree with. Barnes = great player, one of ours and fantastic guy. Ronaldo = *cough* player, a fuckin manc and total cunt. Would be interesting to hear opinions outside the family on this one. Wonder what Digger himself would say for example?

Hilarious. I'd be reasonably satisfied with who you are clearly certain in your ITK way will be our signings this summer. What is it btw - source within the club? Crystal ball(s)? Are you Damian or Kennys personal butler? Plus Henderson plus anyone else not on your all-seeing radar, plus some very promising youngsters Kenny appears to be keen on bringing through. Frankly I don't give a fiddlers flying F*** if we finish in the top four next season as IMHO we probably will within the next five years and hopefully win the thing. Europe would be nice. So would a cup. CL even better. One thing I'm expecting is that the football will be a hell of a lot better to watch with pass & move than at times in the past couple of years and to be honest thats a biggie for me.

Newsflash - it isn't obvious really at all is it? I don't know for a fact whether we will or will not finish in the top 4. Neither do you. This post says more about your own attitude to the team's prospects to be honest as: a) Its way too early to be posting stuff like this - you or I have no idea how the rest of the transfer window will go (I'm betting fairly well) b) We saw improvement under Kenny in the latter half of last season - will that get even better as he settles in or prove to be a flash in the pan (I'm betting we'll see a higher level in our performances next season) c) I'm a miserable bastard generally and certainly a fully paid up member of the "glass half empty - wait a fuckin minute this glass IS empty" brigade but I'm looking forward to next season. d) We're fuckin light years away from the depths of doom that we were in not so long ago under G&H. Thanks in no small measure to the efforts of true fans we have pulled ourselves out of that mire and are now in a position to be much more positive about the future. Funny thing is some whoppers are not "willing" (as opposed to "able") to take that view. You couldn't fuckin make it up. :wallbutt:

Brilliant stuff :yes: I'm an early riser and just sat through all three episodes - great insight into the musical lives of some top top performers. Tbh I've been more of a John Petrucci fan to date, his Suspended Animation solo album is incredible but I'm sure as hell gonna check out some more Dream Theatre stuff on the back of this. Thanks for posting, really really enjoyed that.
