I dont know f**k all about music but its no secret that Tony was the only one with any real musical talent ,he's written a lot of stuff since for other people....likewise Terry stayed in the game in a small way,and John started his own roofing firm,so they all did reasonably ok apart from the one who wanted to live his life like a drug crazed wildman and is now left crying about it. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Daltrey is the friend of a good pal of mine, by all accounts he was plodding away until recently I think earning a nice few quid doing his thing. His place is spot on, lovely historic gaff in East Sussex and is set up to keep him pottering about at something all the time….obviously he has a couple of blokes who work for him so it’s tidy. I had a drive round his farm and trout lake and then upto the house, got given the tour…it’s exactly what your boy off the plot made good but who ain’t flash would have….old England, classy.

A young up and coming band who have embraced the Mod scene a bit and that I’ve been following are a band called The Molotovs…..so they are still out there, they just don’t get airtime….too white I suppose ! London Grammar are another I like Edited Thursday at 13:19 by WILF Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brian on the other hand has always been a bit of a mental case,been on the dole for years living in his mums or might even be his nans shitty little terraced house in Walthamstow without a pot to piss in bored out of his mind......dont take a rocket scientist does it mate. That said i still say Brian had a lovely voice bless him Yes mate, he always came across as a decent lad, although brian thinks because he was the front man he should have had a bigger cut, i guess its tonys right as songwriter, brian has went down the rabbit hole and got sucked in, if he didnt blow his money then he wouldnt be skint, the drugs ruined him 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lenmcharristar 10,247 Posted Thursday at 14:59 Report Share Posted Thursday at 14:59 I used to like the Hives, a swedish band who were influenced by the rolling stones, but most stuff i listen too is from 50s 60s 70s and 80s, the modern stuff is rubbish 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NEWKID 28,411 Posted Thursday at 16:55 Report Share Posted Thursday at 16:55 So forget Ed Sheeran and all his loop pedals, this for me is the most phenomenal piece of one man pluaing guitar and singing ever... no effects, no loop pedals just absoulye sheer talent, finger picking at that speed and singing in time/tune is amazing... Love Fleetwood Mac and think Lyndsey Buckinham doesn't get enough credit for being an incredible guitarist, singer and song writer 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
