Pop Quiz

What happens if you take a touch of Free, throw in a dash of Led Zeppelin and stir in some Guns and Roses for good measure?

Has anyone got the answer?

Mmm I'm lost with the Guns n Roses connection, I am afraid to say that I know nothing of their output other than the songs that made the radio playlists in the nineties

Clues please?

The question is the clue and the clue's in the question.

One more clue. Jimmy Page and Phil Lynott's mum are both fans of the band.

The answer my friend isn't blowing in the 'wind. But it is a lot closer than you think. You need to rise to the challenge.

I reckon it's a band featuring former members. Unfortunately, all I've found so far is:
Woodstock '94
Paul Rodgers Rock & Blues Revue
With Slash, Neal Schon, Andy Fraser, Jason Bonham.

Plan B is a band that sounds something like the above, so I'll suggest something Oirish like The Answer or Glyder.

I picked up a copy of the special edition of Everyday Demons the other week. Excellent stuff. The live bonus disk reminds me more of Free. In fact Paul Rogers has guested with them in the past.

I've got a Glyder album on order, Playground For Life. The tracks of their's I've heard sound like a modern day version of Thin Lizzy. Not surprisingly Phil Lynott's mother is a fan of their's too.

Northern Ireland seams to be a hotbed for new 'classic' rock bands at the moment.

So was Glyder the answer, or not? Or where? Or who? Or what? Or when? I'm confused.

The Answer is the answer pop pickers.

I saw The Answer supporting Whitesnake, a couple of years ago. They were ... (long pause, tumblebrush drifts past) ... competent.

Still, Whitesnake aren't the Whitesnake we grew up with. You need M3 (Marsden Moody Murray) for that. Back in the 80s, Coverdale went off to the States, in search of dollars, and created something which is still better than Def Leppard. (Cough!)

But, I do recommend Tommy Aldridge's other band: Thin Lizzy. Sykes, Gorham, Aldridge, and bass player du jour. Some folks say "it's not Lizzy without Lynott", but it's still an excellent evening's entertainment.

How I Met Your Get Psyched List

Image
In one of the best season one episodes of How I Met Your Mother , The Limo, Barney, played by the actor formerly known as Dougie Howser, Neil Patrick Harris, gets things going with his Get Psyched playlist. The only song played from it in the show is however Bon Jovi's Shot Through The Heart . Which begs the question, what is the full list. A bit of googling revealed the following, as identified by fans of the show with the aid of freeze frame, 20/20 vision and a zoom in on the slipcase. 1. “I Wanna Rock” — Twisted Sister 2. “You Give Love A Bad Name” — BJ (Bon Jovi) 3. “Lick It Up” — KISS 4. “Paradise City” — GNR (Guns & Roses) 5. “Dancing With Myself” — Billy Idol 6. “Rock You Like A Hurricane” — Scorpy (Scorpions) 7. “Panama” — Van Halen 8. “Talk Dirty To Me” — Poison 9. “Thunderstruck” — AC/DC 10. “Dr. Feelgood” — Crue (Motley Crue) 11. “Round and Round” — Ratt Good choice. An examination of Barney's blog on the CBS website reveals a second version of the list:- 1. “Y...

Pancakes

Another year, another pancake day. Ingredients 125g plain flour, preferably Italian 00 1 egg 300 ml milk 15-30g cooled butter, melted (optional) Making the batter Make a mound of flour in a bowl, add a pinch of salt and make a well in the top. Crack open the egg and put it into the well. Using a wooden spoon gradually mix in the flour from the sides and beat in the milk to make a smooth batter. When the batter is creamy, stop and switch to a whisk, at this point you can add the butter which makes more of a crèpe mix (ordinary pancakes don't need the butter). Leave to stand for at least half an hour. If the batter thickens in this period add milk or water (or maybe some rum if you're making crèpes) to bring its consistency to that of single-cream. Cooking the pancakes Use very little oil and very little batter. The pan must be very hot, heat the oil in the pan first, then empty it before adding just enough batter to cover the base of the pan When bubbles come to the surface flip...
