Re: Great Vivian Campbell Interview

can't believe Viv is still going on about this,  Ronnie was shafted even more by Ritchie in Rainbow, only receiving royalties after his death I believe.

Re: Updating my crazy last year. Work, mental health, dating, singing.

thanks for sharing so honestly Eduardo,  a lot to deal with but as you say lots of positives too.  I can identify with some of this, perhaps that's what drives us to obsess about the guitar and other things.

Good luck with the date! let us know how it goes!

Re: Is Heaven and Hell Geezer's best bass work?

spot on re Neil Murray,  the US producers i think will have insisted on a more generic,  root heavy approach as was in vogue at the time.

Re: Is Heaven and Hell Geezer's best bass work?

even in Purple, Roger was amazingly inventive on tracks like No, No, No and Smoke on the water to name but 2 examples. By Rainbow time Ritchie had clearly instructed him to play a more chuggy, root note approach.

Re: Is Heaven and Hell Geezer's best bass work?

won't comment on whether his best bass work but fully agree the LP is a total peak in rock/metal history,  

as you say Geezer is doing some amazing fills, particularly in COTS, underneath Tony's riffs.

Re: John Sykes Hidden treasures

having had a chance to go through,  the WS demos are different to those on the 1987 30th anniversary release, Bad boys aside which i think is the same.  More complete, as in studio early takes, it would appear.    Of the BM tracks, Riot is quite different to the finalised version, much slower tempo....

This sounds pretty damn good, and the guitar tone particularly awesome. A lengthy set list but many of the numbers cut back to one verse, and seque way quickly into the next. Not having heard any recent live Yngwie for some time I was pleasantly surprised soloing wise…..there’s the usual licks and r...

Re: Don Airey - Pushed to the edge

unsure if you mean Don or Ritchie,  but yes both fab!  the keys very prog/ELP ish rather than Jon ish.    indeed.  not over keen on Ritchie's guitar sound on Difficult to cure though to be honest.  very entertaining evening with Mick Wall and Don wednesday, lots of stories and anecdotes.  I also ma...
