(I think this is the first time I've EVER said this, but...) LOL!! RATM as Smooth-ish Jazz
Brilliant stuff π [I'm pigging out on his youtube work right now - fabulous stuff too. Maiden and Priest a la Bossa Nova - I feel almost Brazilian!]

always find it odd when it doesn't lead straight into Most Of The Time. to me that pairing is as set in my mind as Backwater/Just Take Me or Is It Really Me?/Gotta Go Home Yep - it has to segue in to MOTT (or else it's just fart) π

So what IS the story re: a 'proper' release? Is it realistic to expect one (of some sort) or just us, fan-wishing? [I know this is probably a really tired question - but still, we live in delusionary hope I s'pose! π

A proper showman. Never took it too seriously. Or certainly didn't seem to. Also one of my regrets - like others - that I never got to see Van Halen live. A mate did back in about 1978 or something. I think they supported Black Sabbath, although I couldn't swear to that. It was something like that anyway. Never paid too much attention to his solo career. I bought the Living In Paradise single and the Skyscraper album (which I wasn't keen on) but that was it really. hey mort try 'A Little Ain't Enough' cd [1991] - imho, DLR's best and has Jason Becker before [obviously] his awful affliction landed on him. π

Yep, far as I know she confirmed that recently[ish] I used to think that James Taylor was the target - seems not tho'!

tbh - I'm completely floored by Status Quotes! I actually get excited when I find a video of theirs that I haven't seen before... like how you'd get excited when a band was releasing a new album! Remember that?

Just heard 'three time loser' (Dave Edmunds) off her album which dennis posted, what a great cover version. Great isn't it! My fave so far off the album. Reckon most Quo fans would like it Listened twice today to the album, really really good Great sound Absolute proof that the very best blues doesn't require a Les Paul. The humble Tele sounds amazing here and does a superb job πππΈ
I reckon God... sorry, Rory Gallagher, laid that one to rest pretty definitively, rwc!!
