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.

Life On Mars Soundtrack

Am I mad, in a coma, or have I just been listening to the Life On Mars Original Soundtrack CD. Most excellent. Not surprising really as the picking ground for material, the 70's, has been identified as the best decade for popular music. My only criticism of it is the lack of any Hawkwind , not that I'm biased, especially as the show has featured Brainstorm , Silver Machine , Urban Guerrilla , Ejection and You Shouldn't Do That over its two seasons. Still there's always the potential for a second soundtrack album at some stage in the future and plenty of material still to chose from. Track Listing King Of The Jungle (dialogue) David Bowie - Life On Mars Roxy Music - Street Life Wings - Live And Let Die ELO - 10538 Overture John Kongos - Tokoloshe Man Atomic Rooster - Devil's Answer T Rex - Rock On Free - Little Bit Of Love Lee 'Scratch' Perry and the Upsetters - Jungle Lion Armed Bastards (dialogue) The Sweet - Blockbuster The Faces - Cindy Incidentally A

The 100 Best and Absolute Greatest Heavy Metal Albums in the World, Ever.

As I've just about completed my collection of 100 CDs culled from Jacelyn Bond's damn fine book, and bastard of a charade title, The 100 Best and Absolute Greatest Heavy Metal Albums in the World, Ever , I thought it was about time I blogged the list to aid anyone else who wants to make their world a little heavier. Collecting the albums has been a long strange trip through the annals of rock history and taken me through classics by the likes of Sabbath, AC/DC and Deep Purple to Scandinavian Death Metal. Yes the choices are debateable but the book is a great way of discovering some wonderful music to headbang like a maniac to. It's got some notable omisions too, in particular a certain Black Country band who most would argue are the greatest rock and roll band of all timel and who cast a giant blimp shaped shaddow over the genre. In addition to the 100 albums I've also listed the other albums by the bands concerned that the book says are worth getting, so if any of
