Would have thought that someone else would have resurrected this subject by now. 

Currently listening to Stationary Traveller by Camel.

"azel senior 2:57 Wed Dec 15 Are Venom still going? Please tell me Chronos isn't still sporting his leather & studs garb in his 60s!! Not sure about Venom? Frankly I don't want to look them up just in case they are still going! That would be too depressing. Now that's another thing. Bands that 'dress up' when they start, who then look a wee bit silly when they still wear the same stuff 40 odd years later (who said Motley Crue?) As it turns out, Kiss's costumes were probably a good move when it comes to disguising the passage of time."

"azel senior 2:59 Wed Dec 15 Now,that would have been a show mate."

Unplugged (the DVD) - Neil Young

Yngwie's Cat..... My gig regret - Thin Lizzy on the Chinatown tour.

Hahaha.......you're losing me now. I can't listen to that without thinking of theme tunes and effects music ala Power Rangers and Transformers. Are Venom still going? Please tell me Chronos isn't still sporting his leather & studs garb in his 60s!!

"Bungo 1:10 Wed Dec 15 Biggest Gig regret, not getting to that one :-("

"azel senior 1:43 Wed Dec 15 If I live long enough, I'll be really interested to see what happens to Dragonforce as time moves on. If they can still play some of their stuff as they head into their 50s and beyond, I'd be very impressed! üòÅ"

"Bungo, Yep. I've seen some of the old boys turn out some superb performances, and have been delighted to see them one last time. But I've also seen those that should have turned it in at their peak. As much as I want to hear Angus Young and the AC/DC rhythm section (RIP Mal) tearing it up one last time, I fear that they are going to damage the legacy."

"azel senior 1:23 Wed Dec 15 Absolutely. I went to see Genesis recently, and while there is massively divided opinion out there on whether PC is up to it, I did realise that I don't think I have EVER seen anyone as frail as him onstage in ANY kind of professional performance before, including some quite elderly actors. Still, knowing when to hang it up must be very difficult when you still feel that you're able to do it."

"Agree. Sad that all these great, classic bands are coming to the end, but better that than diluted versions."

azel senior 12:54 Wed Dec 15 I think the happiest I have ever been at a gig is during the R30 overture at Wembley after all those years when I never thought I'd see them again. I'm actually OK with them shutting it down now. Would be sad if there was some sort of 2/3rds version out there eroding the memories.

"Bungo, Lucky man!! all my mates were into Rush way back around the time of 2112 & Hemispheres. I only got into them a few years back. When I think of all the opportunities I've missed.........."

azel senior 10:26 Wed Dec 15 The first time I saw Rush was at Hammersmith on the Permanent Waves tour. Just look at the setlist... 👀 https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/rush/1980/hammersmith-odeon-london-england-7bd97af8.html

Rush - Permanent Waves

Volbeats new Album is the dogs. Shotgun Blues is gloriously heavy The Danes got their mojo back.

"azel senior 6:53 Tue Dec 14 Coincidentally, I once spent a night in a hotel room with them. It was a very long night!"

Yesmulady 6:02 Tue Dec 14 Wolf Alice Great band. Good to see someone listening to music of the 21st Century.

Far Cough 10:33 Majestic! I once shared several bottles of booze with these guys on a flight from Heathrow to Glasgow. Cracking blokes.
