    I think I know the band you are talking about. I saw Slash playing in the Royal Oak last week and Axl is our local Amazon delivery driver. 😄

    Welcome to the forum Frank

    I saw Lou Reed not long before he died. I was a bit worried as he had a reputation for tinkering with song arrangements and so on, but he was amazing. Played the whole Berlin album straight with "Satellite..." as an encore. Your favourite artist's best days may be behind them, but just occasionally they will pull off something special and you will want to be able to say you were there.

    From the John Peel Session in 1977 - at 1:43:55 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001mzmh

    Not right now, but earlier, on Radio 2, Vernon Kay played a version of "We Will Rock You" as a 12 bar blues, from an old BBC session Queen did. It was quite the difference from the usual version.

    English may not be his first language. Or Earth may not be his (or her) home planet.

    So, what you are saying is well done Bernie Taupin... 😄

    I don't like Elton John and his voice is still very "I'm Dill Danding" ( I understood about three words in The beach is Back), but he is putting on a good show for those who like him and the band are great. Guitarist is superb I didn't know Clinton Baptiste could play guitar), as is the bassist. The sound is so much better than GnR and Blondie got.

    Every band at Glastonbury this weekend...

    I thought GnR weren't too bad. It took Axl a while to get his voice warmed up and it started to go again near the end. Rick Astley was great doing the Smiths stuff with Blossoms. If only they had dragged Johnny Marr over to join in. Pretenders sounded fantastic. Did anyone else see the Touareg desert blues band that played? Weird and brilliant.

    I'm going to see Stiff Little Fingers in August. Peter Hook and the light are on the bill, as is Mr Matlock. I'm not sure if he'll have his own band or will be playing with someone else.

    Bienvenue (not sure if that's the appropriate word for welcome to an online forum, rather than an airport, but welcome anyway)

    I haven't tried any of the Sonic basses, but I'm getting one of the Telecasters for my daughter. It's a decent instrument, well put together and plays nicely. I'd imagine the basses are of a similar quality.

    I went into a music shop to buy one,once, but got a brain freeze and couldn't remember the word "coiled". I said something along the lines of "Have you got any, umm, spiral leads? You know, the curly ones." Thankfully, the guy knew what I meant, although he did look at me as if I wasn't the full shilling.

    You aren't wrong about being big U2 fans. The guy in the white shirt, with the ponytail and cross earring is very Joshua Tree-era Bono.

    That reminds me of the Siadwell sketch from the TV show "Absolutely" - We lost my Grandad the other day. He's not dead; we just don't know where he is. 😆

    Oh, I know. Just teasing. 😄

    Come on @jazzyvee, what was the band? Give us a clue. đŸ¤Ŗ😉 (I can remember singing that song as a kid. We all did)

    An explorer is trekking through a jungle. In the distance is the sound of tribal drums. All of a sudden the drums stop. The native guide suddenly looks very worried and agitated and says "Oh no, no, no. Drums stop. Very bad, very bad". The explorer asks "Why is it bad? What happens when the drums stop?". The guide replies "When drums stop, bass solo start"

    Or Kim Deal, or Robert Been, or Roger Waters, or Steve Severin...

    I thought that was garlic bread.🤔

    Oh no! No chance of getting it back, I suppose? ☚ī¸

    Do you not have one of those wee plectrum pockets on your jeans? Some silly people try to say that it's supposed to be for matches, but we know what it's really for. Either that or just stick the plectrum in yer gub.
