gstallons Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Yeah , I bet you listened to it. Jus' like I did ! Trivia , that girl was extremely pregnant in that photo !
p6x Posted April 6 Posted April 6 (edited) I know that YT is full of these talented kids, one better than the next. I relate to that, because I tried to teach guitar to my son when he was 5 years old, and I could never get him interested, even if he did pretty well, as I was trying to get him to like it. I was in awe watching the little guy playing the drums in that humpteenth cover of the Deep Purple highway star... Edited April 6 by p6x 5

What say you @docc The little dude is tireless and shows some real soul in his playing. Best for all of them that he keeps his time locked with the bass. I've played with some drummers that wouldn't lock-on. After a while, everyone just packs up and goes home. In all honesty, though, our bass player is just not that cute. 1 2

audiomick Posted April 6 Posted April 6 1 hour ago, p6x said: You may have noticed the bass player is also the keyboard player... No, I couldn't work out which one it was. Changing the t-shirt fooled me completely. I will refrain from comparisons to Jon Lord, because that would be silly. I had the great fortune to encounter him on a couple of jobs. Polite, friendly, a real gentleman. Musically: the second time was one of those "rock meets classic" things. The orchestra was a combination of a semi-professional orchestra and students from a commercial "music academy". The finale was a Deep Purple melody, of course. They rehearsed it once without the man, and it was all correct. Then he came on stage. First thing was, the organ sounded different (better) when he played it than when the organ-hire bloke played it after he set it up. How does that work? A Hammond organ is a machine. You push a button, and a noise comes out. And on top of that, the rehearsal without was, as I said, correct. With him playing along, all of a sudden it also grooved. One man pulled an entire orchestra into the groove. Not bad, I reckon... So it would be silly to draw comparisons between a teenage girl and someone like that. The same applies to the guitarist that played the solos. She has potential, but needs a few years. Ritchie Blackmore was an experienced and creative guitarist when that song was produced. No comparison, so no comment. 2
gstallons Posted April 7 Posted April 7 (edited) They slayed it ! The original was 6mins 7 seconds and theirs was 6mins 15 seconds. Machine Head was a perfect LP. i bought the 8-track . I hope everyone is that old ? Hush was the first song I heard from them fully equipped w/the wolf howl at the intro. Then I will never understand how they took a polite song from Neil Diamond and ELECTRIFIED it w/100,000 v ! KENTUCKY WOMAN . Back to this group , it is incredible to see kids that age play with all their heart and play every note as though it is their last time on the planet Earth . Edited April 7 by gstallons 2
Pressureangle Posted April 8 Posted April 8 I had to go back and watch twice after realizing towards the end that the lead guitar had completely lost the camera and fell into herself. That was about 2:30 around the organ solo. She started out 'acting' for the video, and while comptent she really lit it up in the second half.
Pressureangle Posted April 8 Posted April 8 They seem to specialize in hard acts to follow- the drummer is even more impressive here, I think- Mom and Dad are in. Their ABBA cover is pretty amazing too, absent male voices. 2
audiomick Posted April 10 Posted April 10 @Lucky Phil got me on to Johnny Cash, and the next clip on the tube was this. I love this song. although I'm not sure if I maybe like this version better 2
audiomick Posted April 10 Posted April 10 (edited) Speaking of walking.... Incidentally, the sax solo at the end is, I reckon, one of the best ever. Pity it fades out so soon... Edited April 10 by audiomick
audiomick Posted April 10 Posted April 10 The tube tacked this on after the last one. Don't understand the connection myself, but why not. It's not such a bad song.
audiomick Posted April 11 Posted April 11 What I actually wanted to look for was this. I've not been able to decide if it is "just" a love song, or if the narrator has maybe been let out of the nuthouse for that one day.
