A top rocking track from their first album in '94. Nev MacDonald has a great voice and Myke Gray sure can play guitar. Thankfully saw them live at least 3 or 4 times.
Great Extreme track. Listened to Pornograffitti a lot back in the day. Saw them when they supported Bryan Adams at the City ground, Maine Rd in 92. They played this one as the last track.
That sounds like a cracking gig. Unfortunately I wouldn't have been able to attend on account of being 2 🤣 I was born in the wrong era for my music tastes.
😂🤣 I was only 2, I spat my tea at that, very good. Yes, it's shame but not a great deal you could have done about it. Luckily some of the bands have reunited and done gigs and festivals in recent years. I do miss those￡10 tickets and no Ticketmaster (bastards). I think this particular concert was￡20, but BA was big and we got Extreme, Squeeze and Little Angels. Cracking gig. Plus we went to Maine Rd which is in Moss Side, Manchester and we got out unscathed, phew.
Yeah festivals like download is how I tend to get to see these older bands. But unfortunately my parents chose to themselves be born a little too late to have me at a time that would have suited my music tastes. I blame them it's their fault 🤣
Some Sonata Arctica from me this morning. Tony's vocals have always been incredible. They bring the right amount of powerful lyrics with power metal and make great music.
The concert was shown on BBC2 one night not long after he released Don't Come Around Here No More in '85. I taped it (them were the days) and watched it endlessly. Brilliant, loved his stuff ever since.

Looks like a wicked live performance. Taped it 😂 yikes (don't worry I do remember using VHS) but I couldn't say I ever had any experience between beta max and VHS 😂
An Aussie band I discovered recently called Hollow Coves
I like this laid back, easy going track called The Open Road
It has some really chilled folky vibes
Ooooooo I'm enjoying this. Listening as I type. It is really chilled and I can hear those folky elements you're talking about. Great submission I like it so far but I'm only a minute or so in.
Stunning voice. Such incredible control aswell. And such a beautiful song. Definitely puts a lump in your throat. Such a shame she's dealing with SPS :(
Her voice works really nicely with the BeeGees which isn't a combination you'd normally put together, power ballads and disco pop? And yet here we are with a great piece of music.
Dream Theater is an American progressive metal band formed in 1985 in Boston, Massachusetts. The band comprises John Petrucci (guitar), John Myung (bass), Mike Portnoy (drums), James LaBrie (vocals) and Jordan Rudess (keyboards).
Man dream theater are absolute magicians of music. They're technical ability is incredible. Such complex songs construction and amazing concepts. I got a lot of love for dream theater (if I got 20mins spare to listen to 1 track 🤣, they're as bad for long songs as Yes 🤣)
Chill Tuesday
