CA! That third link was legit man! Sounded like Alice in Chains baby. Loved it.

The other songs were good too, i love songs like those where its about peoples life experiences. Its not just about women, sex, drugs ,money and power etc. Thats one reason I like Gordon Lightfoot.

Absolutely man and that was a good song, no doubt, but the original is just unbeatable. RIP Layne Staley

I find it interesting what bands make it in which countries.

An american band called black stone cherry are much bigger in the uk then the us.
Heard an interview woith them and bands they tour with as suppoort in the states, Will get shifted to support for them in the uk.

Thunder have been around for over 30 years.

My all time thunder track, because it;s just true and the english like nothing more than to take the piss out of themselves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbiUAC2PZA0

That's probably from their breakthrougyh album: backstreet synphony.

My favourite thunder album, though would have to be Laughing On Judgement day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fn2Z6fCDdAU&list=PLJl9yukCZhzTdFisl0ZPHuKjQEY794...

What I've had in the backgriund last couple of days is (genuinely) an italian all female deep purple tribute band called: Strange Kind Of Women.
This is a full headline concert with pretty good sound and proper video.
The crowd suck - probably the least vocal crowd I've ever not heard at a live gig.
maybe it's an eyetalian thing. We trdn to shout ourselves hoarse in the uk
As deep purple tribute bands go - they're right up there, with their own twist.
The singer is superb, but definitely has problems with some of the lyrics. You'll be singing along with one of the songs and realise that she's just making her own words up.
Adds to the experience.
I'm sure Ian gillan did the same on occasion
Plus they're not glammed up - it's all about the music. 

We have a local venue that often books cover bands, SKOW haven't turned up there yet. But if they do I'm going

I hate mornings with a passion only someone who doesn't drink and wakes up feeling like they've got a hangover - every sodding day -   can.
But I love this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhnBsbHyprw&t=205s

And while we're on feel good southern rock.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW6q8_kV1Nc

It's a classic southern rock combination of fast, upbeat music with actually, fairly downbeat lyrics.
yet it works
Pretty good sound for a bunch of old fat hairy guys
lol actually I think it's the video format on my computer that makes them all loook wider than they are tall.
It's a square image beigng stretched out.
I have done them a disservice !

There's aan episode of the canadian comedy show: kids in the hall. Where one of the cast keeps running into bloke a lot taller, fatter, bald and with glasses.
And the running gag is that people can't tell them apart.

At the end of the show in exaperation he shouts: 'what's worng with you people, I look nothing like him. I'm not that old, I'm not bald or fat and I don't wear glases !'
To which evrybody else replies: 'NOT YET !'

It's one of those universal truths that sticks with you lol

like a of of metal heads - I hate grunge with a passion.
It was sort of punk for people who couldn't be arsed to dress up, kinda lol

Anyway, I can't get enough of ylva ericksons voice at the moment.
One of the more mellow offerings from emblas saga:

She's also one half of 'good harvest'
And yes, also plays a mean guitar:

her voice has just got better and stronger since she's been singing metal.
