Did you know that the lead singer with AC/DC, Brian Johnson, used to be in a band called Geordie who had a few hits circa 1973. Cecil played them but I can't remember the names of the songs. |

I saw Motorhead in a barn in Navan,Can't remember when it was.The show was delayed for hours 'cos they couldn't get the Bomber into the barn. (Bomber = Large mechanical plane used in show, not erstwhile Kerry full forward.) Rolo. Edited by Rolo |

When they played in National Stadium the crowd went mental and it was felt that it was too dangerous. I was at that gig and they had seating but everybody was up rocking. Can you imagine sitting for a Quo gig. So Navan had an arena where there was standing only. |

Just reading a book called "Never break the Chain" about the making of the the album Rumours.Apparently if you listen very carefully at the beginning of "The Chain" on the album you can hear the sound of something being bumped,followed by a faint expletive, "f***!" which went unnoticed by a sound technician, of course the offending moment is now completely deleted from a new digitally re-mastered CD's...... I can see you all running to the attic now to check it out...just goes to show those old vinyls WILL be worth something some day! Stevie |

Hi Stevie, Just back from me ma's 'cos all old vinyl LPs are still in her garage. Spent hours rooting through them and finally found copy of Rumours. Rushed home wondering whether or not I'd be able to hear the old expletive and guess what. No bleedin' record player anymore. Rolo. |

I've hundreds of vinyl LPs in my mothers garage since we moved house 10 years ago. Lo and behold on Christmas Morning,what does she produce for me only a retro style record player. Unbelievable,was like a kid in a sweet shop.next day,up to the garage pulling the place apart.Not gonna tell you some of the c**p I found in the old collection though. Rolo. Edited by Rolo |

When I was in Gracelands a number of years back there was this guide giving out info re Elvis. Believe this or not. He said that if you lined up all the records that Elvis sold they would go round the world two and a half times. Apparently Elvis sold more Gospel records than rock 'n roll. |

I lost a bet on this one.
If you listen to Janis Joplin's version of "Me and Bobby mcGee"- In the last chorus, as she's doing her screaming thing, she sings as clear as day-"Good enough for motherf**king Bobby mc Gee"- I probably heard that song a million times and I never noticed it until it was pointed out to me. |

Rory Gallagher was asked to join the Rolling Stones in 1974 after Mick Taylor left. Wonder what would have happened if he did |

Maybe he'd have taken some of whatever elixir Keef, Charlie and Mick are on and would still be alive making great music. Noodles. |
