How's about the new Stones tune!?!
On phone so hard to post the video...
The B-side takes you under the table.
Agreed; hope I can still rock out like that at 3,200 or however old Keef actually is now...There you go. It’s not bad

Just been listening to various Bernie Marsden clips on YouTube. What a huge loss. Not only a great guitarist but also a great singer and decent person. If only Coverdale had stayed true to the early version of Whitesnake, cut out the double entendres they would’ve been one of the great bands, instead Whitesnake are more remembered for that poncey era in the mid-80s.RIP Bernie Marsden.

And made Bernie Marsden loads of money with royalties for Here I Go Again. I just can’t warm to Coverdale for the way he sacked the band because they didn’t have his poncey look, typical mid-80s attitude. I think someone called it right by saying with music in general in that the very early 80’s music had more in common with late 70s music than what is deemed 80s music.Whitesnake lost their individuality and became just another big hair rock band. It was more like Coverdale and a load of session musicians that just didn’t work for me. But don’t blame Coverdale for changing with the times as it made him a fortune and broke Whitesnake in America. So get it but didn’t like it. Whitesnake with Bernie and Moody we’re just the brilliant a distinctive unlike what came later.
Lord I could not stand 80s hair bands...still can't...if it weren't for Prince, The Replacements, Bowie, Springsteen, and a handful of others the early 80s would have been worse than disco.Whitesnake lost their individuality and became just another big hair rock band.

Some of the bands evolved past that...but groups like Poison made me nauseous, then and now. Should have mentioned more New Wave stuff...I was also coming into my teens around that time...and Ozzy was also reliable.Thing is I was a teenager in the 80’s so I got into
Music around 1979/1980 when the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal was the brewing. The. America took that and made it more over the top. So many bands got record contracts that were pretty average at best but there was still some great music that came out of the 80’s hair stuff.

I always loved rock bands that could incorporate blues and even funk or jazz. I also separate out what was considered "metal" here (Iron Maiden) from pure hair band territory (Ratt or Warrant)...I think of Rainbow and Thin Lizzy as rockers and not the glam stuff.It was all Iron Maiden, Saxon, Diamond Head etc when I started but loved the old guard so stuff like a Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake, Rainbow etc. it was Van Halen that blew me away from the USA.
