Favourite bands - James, Embrace, Dire Straits, The Stone Roses, Matchbox 20, Iron Maiden

Favourite albums - On Every Street (Dire Straits), Millionaires (James), This New Day (Embrace)

Best concerts attended - My concert experience is pretty limited but I have seen Fun Lovin Criminals (very good) and JJ72 (entirely unmemorable) play live when I was at university.

Favourite Music Videos - Not a great one for videos and none spring to mind.

Can anyone remember their first single / album they bought was? My first album was What's The Story, Morning Glory by Oasis (number one at the time) and my first single was, I believe, Mr Writer by Stereophonics. Still got it on tape!

Agree with the Joe Bonamassa stuff - my Dad played me some of his stuff in January and I was impressed. The boy can play.

Quite right fellas - Joe's the next big thing!  Stevie Ray Vaughan was another hero of mine , along with Gary Moore ,alas , both have now gone.

     The 1st single I bought was Twist and Shout by the Beatles , back in 1964!  (actually was an E.P and I wanted I want to hold your hand , but it was sold out!!).

       My 1st album was Deep Purple in Rock - 1970 - still a favourite !

The first single I ever bought was We'll Bring The House Down by Slade :)
 
I can't really remember what the first album I bought was, but the first one I was given was a compilation called Axe Attack, on the then mighty K-Tel label!

I was on Napster today so had a listen to Joe Bonamassa's Live At The Albert Hall album.

I am generally a bit loathe to listen to too much blues stuff as it is all samey samey after a while, but to Joe's credit he mixes it up really well, with a good dollop of rockier stuff and even some terrific acoustic material too. His playing throughout, it goes without saying to those that have heard him before, is sensational.

It's a fantastic concert Clobs and getting Clapton to guest on "Further on up the road" shows how respected JB is.  He definitely mixes it up and with Glenn Hughes and Jason Bonham they've made 2 albums - Black Country Communion - well worth a listen as well !Tongue

Simply one of the greatest pieces of music ever written Clobs - I have Pulse at home and drive the old girl to distraction playing it practically every weekend !

I love the look on Waters' face as he turns round to the wall on that clip

Just back from Download Festival at Donington Park. Seen some great bands there over the years. My favourite was Iron Maiden in 2003. They're one of my favourite bands and it's the best outdoor/festival venue in the world so perfect match.

I think Iron Maiden has to be the official band of the forum!

Booked some tickets for The Darkness this morning. I know they get looked down on by some but they're great fun.
