the Bach record is timeless. best output from either side of that camp (SR / Bach) since the iconic Slave To The Grind.
@@iam5162 It’s a great album, 100%. Thanks for the comment!
Another great episode. Love the energy and enjoyment in the conversation. Just two guys geeking out over music. So many great bass riffs to choose from. Muse’s Hysteria is definitely one that gets the crowd going. Instantly thought of that one. You guys touched on pretty much all the big ones. The only other one that comes to mind instantly is Mr. Big’s Addicted To That Rush….but I need to take my Billy Sheehan in small doses. 😂 Keep up the great work!
@@brettmiles16 Thanks a lot, Brett, as always. I thought of Billy Sheehan too and ‘addicted to that rush’, but they were just so many. 🤯
@@beerrumrocknrollIt’s good…but doesn’t live in a Top 10.
A marvelous Video with lots of well thought questions. Triumph in germany was a kind of insider-tip in the eighties. Not known by many, surely totally contrary to the USA & Canada. I loved Rush, Saga and then discovered Triumph a little later around 1986 by borrowing the LP "Never Surrender" of a dude and was immediately impressed. Loved them since and bought many LP's/CD's of the Band. The lifetime-achievement and success of Gil playing in one of the coolest bands in Rock History and running a High-Class recording studio is very impressive. Greetings from germany!
@@drumstudio1 Thank you so much for the compliment and for checking out the show, it’s much appreciated. 🤘🏻
As soon as I find out a person subscribes or reads Rolling Stone I instantly ignore any opinion or thought that they have about music. It's like trying to have a scientific discussion about space travel with a flat earther.
HA! Totally. Thanks for the comment Steven. If you haven't already, do me a solid and hit subscribe, thanks man!
Rolling Stones Altamont Free concert, (for the pure chaos), Led Zep's secret/unknown Wheaton Youth Centre concert, Elvis' 1968 Comeback Special, Queen Live Aid, The Apple Rooftop, Jimi at the Monterey Pop Fest, and Pink Floyd at Pompeii (ok, that's actually 7 but i don't play by the rules 😜) With honourable mentions as Notorious BIG, ODB, Marley, early VH, Nirvana MTV Unplugged, MJ, Beastie Boys, Bowie, The Doors, Joy Division, Velvet Underground, and I'd sneak in Mozart.
Sweet list! Well, except the rap :) and you only went 10 picks over :)
@@beerrumrocknroll these new rules again messed me up. Great panel and good picks! Great episode!
@@SchneL Ha! Thanks man!
Die Hard the Hunter... spectacular version on ITRIYF.
What an awesome track! I agree, that live version is killer.
I've got the original paromainia cd and the 40th anniversary cd of paromainia Def leppard are my favourite band of all time xxxx❤
Really enjoyed this gentleman🎸💙🎶. I watch/listen to Stevie Ray day and appreciated this deeper dive. In 1985 though Reece Wynans came onboard with piano and organ. Reece was a beast and Stevie had him do lots of solos that knock your socks off. Reece was with them until the end and is currently playing with Joe Bonamassa. I chuckled when you 😂all mentioned about reducing from .13's to .11's probably cuz he lost a layer of numb. Stevie actually said after sobriety he felt gloves had been taken off his hands and he could feel his fingers again. Here all day for Stevie Ray👌🎸🎶💙
Thanks a lot Harriet! Glad you enjoyed the show. Yes, I agree, Reece was an awesome addition to the band for sure. We'll talk more about that next time, when we celebrate the 'Soul to Soul' 40th anniversary. We really appreciate the feedback. Peace.
Amazing watch, lads! Stevie was the shit! It was fantastic to see Sammy's influence on guitar and techniques. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thanks Kenny! SRV was the f’n man!
Always a pleasure chatting music with you Randy!!
Likewise...so much fun nerding out with you too!
SRV was just an incredible talent. I got into his stuff through PBS and Austin City Limits as well as his live concerts. The El Mocambo performance was just amazing. I remember being blown away by his talent and effortless playing. What a body of work on this album. Hard to think it’s already 40 years…and that he’s been gone for almost 35. And best three-piece of all time…I’d put them up against anyone. Amazing. 👍
Man, that El Mocambo show is f'n unreal!...it's just pouring out of him. The best 3-piece of all time...well, as a huge ZZ Top fan...maybe second best 😂 Thanks for the comments Brett! ✌
What??….No Trixter?? What??….No Winger?? What??….No Enuff Znuff?? What??….No Pretty Boy Floyd?? What??….No Warrant….wait, wut??!!! 😂 Loved this episode. So many bands I remember enjoying back in the day. Haven’t listened to many of them in so long. I’ll be busy on Spotify for the next month. 👍 I’ll add… London Quireboys - 7 O’Clock Four Horsemen - all of it Salty Dog - Come Along Thunder - Dirty Love Pantera - Metal Magic Good times. 👍
Thanks Brett. I love that Four Horseman album too but I don’t consider them hair metal. I thought of the Quireboys too…love the debut. Just way too many to choose from. Jamie got Warrant in there but I just can’t do it. 😂
I’m with you on Four Horsemen. But when Lynch Mob got a nod…I knew I’d need to get them in there. Warrant…..total cheese. 😂
I'm with you on the VH albums Jamie. It's about the bros. I tell Randy that all the time lol. Good episode!
Thanks Lee. I love the bros too but DLR was just as important to the early success of VH as the bros..fact.
@@beerrumrocknroll Sure, but these's nothing wrong with Gary or Sammy.
@@SchneL Nothing wrong, just 3 completely different bands in terms of sound and style. ✌🏻
Cool stuff! 😎
Thanks! We appreciate the support.
Jaime! Getting the much needed attention you deserve! 💯😎
My list (one track per band): Photograph - Def Leppard Still of the Night - Whitesnake Born To Be My Baby - Bon Jovi Edge Of A Broken Heart - Vixen Wasted Time - Skid Row Kickstart My Heart - Motley Crue Nobody's Fool - Cinderella One Step Away - Ratt Rock You Like a Hurricane - Scorpions Welcome to the Jungle - Guns N' Roses
Great list...I like you diving deep on Skid Row and Ratt...nice work! Those are both great songs. Thanks for checking us out and posting your list. Peace.
@@beerrumrocknroll I'm just watching this now. Seeing if I missed anything... ;)
Doctor Eddie Ganja Here I remember buying this album in May of 1984 The song that kicked my ass Wanted Man You're in Trouble Scene of The Crime
I agree...they pretty much all kick ass!
Joey is the man
I LOVED this album - I was 14 in 84 and studying for my O-levels just played it over and over - yes, the lyrics can range from cheesy to embarrassing but I didn't care - that voice, the breathy, deep, growling, bluesy power of it blew me away - Cozy on drums just driving it, I grew up on the UK release and it wasn't until 25 years later they brought out a 25th anniversary with both UK and US versions of the album, but the UK one still sounds "right" to my ears, anyway imagine my delight discovering they had albums BEFORE Slide It In - I quickly added Trouble, Lovehunter, Come an' Get It, Saints and Sinners and I loved at least one or two tracks on every album, Slide It In I loved EVERYTHING and then an older neighbour of mine - he was maybe 5 years older so had little to do with me but he heard me playing Whitesnake and said - Oh yeah - Coverdales great - I preferred the stuff he did with Deep Purple - my mind was blown - he was IN Deep Purple too!!! You didn't have the internet remember, you just relied on Kerrang! and other music mags for info - happy days. 😃😃😃
What a great story!Thanks for sharing that dude! Feel free to check out our Rock Shot on the 50th anniversary of Deep Purple ‘Burn’ too. kzread.info/dash/bejne/YoOT1M1saZeXiqQ.htmlsi=9jM2FPApkME6nc2M
That was a fun episode. Some really great points from you guys. What a killer album. I was an ‘87 kid so this was a back catalogue discovery for me. Took me a long time to appreciate how good this release was as I was blinded by the overproduced video-heavy band they were to become. Cozy Powell….man alive he was an incredible drummer.
Thanks Brett! Ya, you weren't alone in terms of the '87 album...it was everywhere. They were two different bands for sure, in terms of look and sound. You can't blame Coverdale for going where the money was, I totally get it. :)
Detonator is my favourite from Ratt
I dig it too...'Lovin' You's a Dirty job' has a killer riff!
Awesome
Gil Moore telling it like it is. Refreshing
100%…Thanks for watching Dave!
@@beerrumrocknroll 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
More pyro. More pyro.
…and more pyro :) Thanks for watching Bob!
I heard Paul Rogers turned them down also because he did'nt think he could follow Gillan. I saw them in 75 in Cleveland an Blackmore came out and introduced the opening band ELF. They had this singer, Ronnie Dio. ELO came out next then Purple. Awsome concert. Can't believe it's been 50 years. Peace
Wow, that’s amazing! Sometimes I wish I was born earlier. 😜 Thanks for watching!
🔥🔥🔥
To me, I'll Wait is probably one of their best songs off any album. That keyboard was the sound of the 80's.
The Momentary Lapse of Reason was my first PF album purchase as a teenager. I heard the big hits of the Wall, of course. It was the Gilmour PF that really drew me into the band and their music. The Division Bell felt so new and fantastic. My only regret in life is not seeing PF live. If I could turn back time for one reason, it would be to attend the Pulse tour.
Hey Ted, ya timeline is everything...you get in when you get in and that is a powerful thing. Too bad you didn't see them...at least you have the dvd! Thanks for watching.
Yes if Momentary Lapse of Reason was your first real exposure to Pink Floyd then there would be some anticipation when the Division Bell came out. For me I really dug David Gimour's guitar melodies all over the album.
I was thinking about this over the weekend. Timeline IS everything. To think this came out in the grunge era of music...not that PF were competing with those bands...but I sometimes forget that 1994 is now 30 years ago. Good lord!
Superb album , best PF since Animals, and soo much better as a unit now they have a decent Bass player especially for the live band, Roger's written some good lyrics over the year's but David, Rick and Polly are equally as good and better sometimes EG High Hopes, which are some of the best lyrics in PF ever. Best thing Roger did was to leave the band imo, they played some of their best concerts on their following tour and became more experimental in their composition whereas poor Roger carries on wining about the same old crap about how terrible it is to have war ect which is bloody obvious to the rest of us, much prefer the positive side of David and Rick. The spirit of Floyd carries on with Dave's solo output and looking forward to his next opus.
Division Bell over The Wall?...We'll have to agree to disagree on that one and Floyd being better off without Roger. All you have to do is look at the songwriting credits on Dark Side / WYWH / Animals / The Wall...he dominated the band during that time and the songs are incredible. I do think he was better in the band than solo though. I love Dave's solo albums too but other than his guitar tone, they don't sound like Pink Floyd albums, nor should they. As far as concerts, I love those 90's Pink Floyd shows too but I also love what Roger has been doing on his last few tours...the stage shows were absolutely amazing...some of the best I've ever seen. It's all good, thanks for watching Stuart, Peace.
@@beerrumrocknroll Hmm well as you say we'll have to agree to disagree, i stated my opinions and why i believe the reasons in my text, however i realise that i am very much in the minority on this. At least nobody here has called me a wanker and a thick so and so...yet...
@@stuartwaby3081 Ha! Dude, when it comes to appreciating any work of art there is no right or wrong, it's all totally subjective. It's just fun to have these debates and bust balls a bit. I appreciate your comments Stuart...keep 'em coming and I promise not to call you a wanker :)
@@beerrumrocknroll Aww you're too kind 🤣
@@stuartwaby3081 Great perspective because the fact is everyone is different. The music is great in both Waters and Non Waters eras. I much prefer the Waters influenced era myself and what he has done with his solo tours as Randy stated. It simply has a more profound effect on me. Thanks for chiming in!!
And Thank GOD it didn't have Rogers input.
The Division Bell is so much better than The Final Insult and any of Waters droning, whiny, my daddy died solo crap.
Final Cut is a good Album.
@RonnieMcNairney the final insult is an absolutely putrid album.
Nonsense @@neillenet291
@@RonnieMcNairney I agree Ronnie. I love that album, even tough it's more of a Waters solo album than a Pink Floyd Album IMO.
Roger left Dave, Rick, & Nick. They would've welcomed him back, not the other way around. The antithesis of Roger's isolation behind the wall was David's invitation to a street musician to play wine glasses in Italy
Didn't Roger try to get the band back together after Live8 and they said no? Who knows...Roger can be a bit prickly though for sure :) Thanks for check out the show!
I saw The Pulse concert tour, and it's unbelievable how perfect that was, just amazing. No words...
I agree, it was amazing. However, I've enjoyed the past few Roger Water's tours more.
The clearness of the sound was what I recall the most. Amazing how good it was for such a large outdoor venue, which was the norm on the Pulse tour.
A Momentary lapse of reason and The Division Bell are master pieces, pure Pink Floyd. The Pulse tour will be the best live concert of all times.
Two of my all time favourite albums, that 80s early 90s era were the best, IMO
How can "A Great Day for Freedom" be a left-over from "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" (1987) be abut the fall of the Berlin wall (1989)?
Easy...the musical ideas were leftover, not the lyrics.
@@beerrumrocknroll Makes sense. Recycling. Thanks :)
@@blindazabat9527 Interesting question. Thanks for watching!
The left side of the CD case had the title of the album printed in braille, helping vision impaired people finding it in their collection! :)
Cool, I forgot about that.
I didn't know that fun fact!
@@mccullagh2007 Yea, their designer was having a great time. The cover of the live album (Pulse) had a flashing red LED on the side. It flashed for months before eventually dying out....
@@blindazabat9527 That sounds very familiar!
This was Steve Clarks masterpiece. It's well known he did most of the guitar work on this album. People bag on Leppard for getting rid of Pete and the change in their sound but to be fair what did Pete do of note after Leppard? He was a great rhythm player but Leppard was Leppard because of Steve.
I agree, Steve was more of a dominant force but Willis was an integral member who co-wrote many songs on On Through the Night, High ‘n Dry and several off Pyromania (“Photograph”, “Too Late For Love”, “Comin’ Under Fire” and “Billy’s Got A Gun”). You're right he was a great rhythm player and provided a lot of their harder rock edge early on. They definitely got poppier without him. I prefer their music when he was in the band...for sure.
I'm not anti Pete by no means, but I feel like he gets too much credit for the heavier sound. He for sure had a hand in but so did the other guys. I honestly think they would have went the way of Hysteria with Pete in the band. I say that because his work with roadhouse has elements of Hysteria to it. I don't think he would've been opposed to broadening their sound because of that. He was the one who got himself the boot in the band. It's too bad he couldn't have achieved the same success with his other groups. A lot of misplaced anger with his dismissal even over 40 years on. They would have changed and evolved because their two previous albums to Pyromania proves that.
@@frasiercraine1776 Those are solid points...at the end of the day I just thought he was cool...way cooler than Phil Collen that's for sure. I just wish he would have got his shit together and stayed in the band. Oh well, ancient history...peace.
@@beerrumrocknrollyeah, it still amazes me people that get mad over him not being in the band. He made music outside of Leppard and chose to stay low key. Not their fault lol. I'm glad they gave him credit and royalties.
Another awesome job boys! Loved it. Pink Floyd I’m in!🍻🤘🏻
Thanks Kenny! Coming from a fellow Floyd freak, that means a lot.
Thanks Bro!
David Gilmour brings a certain brightness to the strings of his strat that is so unique. You know it's Gilmour when he's playing. And it just extends to the rest of the band. I don't think I appreciated this album back in the mid-90's. I feel like I would enjoy it a lot more today (haven't listened to it in it's entirety....probably ever.) Gilmour on the lap steel is deadly. The imagery........good lord they do not go half ass. Wow! "I was singing songs that they weren't even playing." Brilliant! 😂 Another great episode!
Thanks Brett! Ya, you really should give it another listen...the musicianship is top shelf.
"David Gilmour brings a certain brightness to the strings of his strat that is so unique." Hit the nail on the head. Thanks for watching!!
For me, Burn is one of my favourite Purple albums. Burn, as a track is one of the greatest rock tracks of all time, and one of the greatest show openers as well. Sail Away, Lay Down Stay Down and You Fool No One are all brilliant tracks, and Mistreated is one of the most epic blues rocks songs of all time. Blackmores outro solo to Mistreated is one of Blackmores most underrated solos ever. The tension and build during that solo is masterfully done. I agree, I usually hate boogie type blues, but I really like Whats Going On Here. The musicianship and the vocals put it above your usual bar room blues track. And yes, Hughes is a talent, but live with Purple he was very insufferable at times. He ruined a many good live Purple performance. Great show guys.
Thanks a lot man! You make some great points and have excellent taste :)
Ratt n roll forever
One of the best bands. From the time Should have. Been bigger then Motley Crue. I like Motley Crue. But would rather have a ratt ablum on.
Totally relate to air band Mock Rock. WE use to pretend we were Ratt and play along with their songs! I was 14 in 84 and I would stay up on weekends and watch Night Flight videos to see the round and round video twice in a night. Pearcy also like Adam Ant as well for influence! The Morning after is my song of choice to play. I can play every song but never learned she wants money.. lol
Adam Ant...that's right, I forgot about that. Stephen even patterned his boots after his :) 'The Morning After' is awesome, good call!
Man alive...all my favourite albums from my youth are turning 40 and 50. What a debut from these guys. I wasn't as dialed on them as a couple of friends were...but I got a good dose. Mostly due to the music videos. Yeah, I don't watch music videos much these days either. Not sure why. Another great Rock Shot.
Thanks Brett! It's a ton of fun diving back into these records but it's a bit of a bummer too :) We're getting old dude!
I hate to admit this but my first kiss album was unmasked, yep loved it.
Ha! Hey man, we get in when we get in and I actually like 'Unmasked'. I just wish the keyboards weren't so hot in the mix. There are some good songs on it. Thanks for watching William!
Are you kidding? Kerner and wise were crap producers for kiss. First two albums have so many great songs and they sound terrible. Thanks to alive for bringing those songs to life
When I was 7 I was going through my dad's 8 tracks (he listened to mostly country) and I came across the Originals. It looked so different from his other stuff so I popped it in and became an instant fan.
Ya, if you were exposed to KISS around that age it was tough not to be drawn in...the were so f'n cool.
One of the greatest debut records ever.
@@alan22470 Agree 100%!
Agree totally about Glenn being too much, especially live.
Yes! We have another ally. Thanks Ronnie.
I think the B-side of the Burn single should have been included on the album instead of A-200. The instrumental Coronarias Redig. It was included as a bonus track on later releases of the album.
100%...that would have been far better...good call.
Thanks for the cliffhanger. 😂 Burn is just a song that makes me stop and listen...if I've got tunes playing in the background, this song sticks out. As always, enjoy the vids.
