Tell me about Phish, the Smiths, Jimmy Buffett and Billy Joel

I've seen Phish several times in concert. They're all very talented musicians. The Smiths I never cared for...too much "Look at me!" vapor. Buffett is disposable "turn your brain off and drink" good vibes. Billy Joel I really enjoy, both to listen and to play...sooo much talent.

 

Anyone else as long as we're thread-derailing?

 

Peace,

Ok derailing, first concerts? Mine was the Cal Jam, Black Sabbath (RJD version), Journey, the Tubes, and the Babys played

 

The Babys actually reformed after a 32 year hiatus. Released an album a few weeks ago (June 24th) called "I'll Have Some Of That." It's really good. They just left the stage at a festival in Montana (Rockin' The Rivers), with Queensryche (not the Geoff Tate one), Lita Ford, April Wine, and many others.

 

Great band. Wally Stocker is my cousin, so I happen to be intimately involved, but I've been a fan since the first album.

 

They opened for Rush (my favorite band) on a number of gigs, and so did Marillion (who I saw mentioned earlier in this thread).

 

My first concert was Blue Oyster Cult on the Mirrors tour, Ian Hunter Band (with Mick Ronson) opening, at the Hollywood Sportatorium (RIP), Hollywood, Florida.

 

My second concert was Black Sabbath with RJD on the Heaven and Hell tour.

 

 

Freaking killer bands

 

I've seen Rush 3 times and I could see them 300 more. The tops in progressive creativity imo. I've seen Dio too. My bro still has a Vivian Campbell pick ( along with another 50 or so from other shows)

 

I thought Heaven and Hell was slightly better than the Mob Rules album and that says it all. Lucky you.

It don't matter to me how people spend their money, i do think slabbing moderns is a waste of $$$ unless is like a 1:200 variant that is a 9.8 candidate, people need to do their homework and be smart about this hobby.

 

One of your last 3 purchases was an ASM 607 slab

 

Black cat collector, one of the few moderns in my PC.

 

That's fine. But what you and the OP need to recognize is that if we took moderns out of this hobby, it would eventually die. Moderns help keep his hobby current, vibrant, and flourishing.

 

Yep. You move with the times or they leave you behind. I love the old stuff for what it was at the time. Great kids entertainment. I love the new stuff for what it is. Great adult entertainment. I think we are in a golden age for writers and almost any kind of art you can think of has representation. (thumbs u

If you had to choose, would you keep a Kiss poster or a Howard the Duck poster?

 

Kiss but not over Farrah.

You kidding me!

Do not even say that as a joke.

[Larryw7]

I had this my room. True story - My brother swung a stick at me, missed me but hit Farah and ripped the poster. I missed waking up to her

 

Can someone fix this for him?

I had that Farrah poster too, along with the KISS Bicentennial poster, and Lynda Carter.

Even Marvel and DC have some good stuff too.

 

Comics are being healed to higher standards and the attention on the medium has helped. Writers are artists are putting out some good stuff.

Nice

 

The best poster I had after Farrah was a James Bond " For Your Eyes Only" legs, legs, legs.

 

The rest of the room was covered with mini posters from Hit Parader magazine.

I agree. I loved the Wake, Trillium, Green Arrow #17 up and a lot of other stuff from the last few years. It's good times for readers. High times. For collectors ...and Jimmy

Why has every thread lately turned into a music discussion?

because the lot of you can't conduct yourselves in any manner other than drama and bickering. If you don't have anything productive to discuss, it will be derailed and turned into a positive forum discussion. Wanna just sit and troll, try the water cooler. Not saying it's you, I don't know anything about you.

i never saw them live, then caught them on TV one night and was floored! One of the only bands I have ever heard sound as good live as recorded. Amazing talent !
