"You’ve Got tO Hide You’re Love Away: This was the first gay rock song, a message to Beatles manager Brian Epstein, who was gay"

Ummm – I don’t think so. Lennon was straight man

There is a lot of doubt about that ( bi-sexual), he even went on holiday with Brian Epstein alone ( there is a movie about that , ofcourse I don’t know the name of that film)

More examples of Beatles brilliance:

-Tomorrow never knows. By using tapeloops it was the first serious sampling technique
-I feel fine; using two sologuitars in one riff
-Hard days night – two different singers in one song ( Lennon the main part, McCartney the "when I’m home" part

Can go on for houres. Check out the Mark Lewisohn book: The complete beatles chronicle

What is the name of Sonny Sharrock’s son? Also, this brings back good memories: http://www.montrealmirror.com/2005/102005/watn2.html
The Voodoo BBQ’s What a great time for the Montreal music scene.

I think you`re thinking of Sonny Greenwich.Sharrock is from New York state.I forget Greenwich`s son`s name but he played in the band Bootsauce.There`s a story about Coltrane hearing Sonny Greenwich and being so impressed asked him to join his band! Greenwich turned him down ,I guess wanting to stay in Montreal.But yeah Greenwich is a superb guitarist though uses less distortion than Sharrock

I was getting that all confused, I was also looking under the Doughboys–which made it even worse. Thanks SG. (karma added) What about Sun Ra, he’s still kicking around, eh ?

I Think Sun Ra is gone to the eternal fields of Jazz

Yeah Sun Ra died in `93.He was past 80 I believe.I think you can buy his spaceship on Ebay I like the story about him playing an outside gig with Sonic Youth and Thurston says to him that he hopes the rain stops during SY`s set.Ra replies that he`ll bring the sun out.So guess what happened?It stopped raining and the sun came out when SY started playing

I did`nt see Bill Laswell on bass,the guy King Tubby was talking about earlier in this thread.

I did: he is visible from 0:20 to 0:22 in this clip….

[King Tubby]

Did`nt Whitney Houston work with Laswell on one of the Material albums?Yes,that `s right Whitney

Yeah, one track on a Material album ("Memory Serves," I think). That was before anyone knew who she was, so I guess we can blame Las for letting her screeching loose on the world. But he more than made up for it by bringing Ginger Baker out of retirement on PiL’s "Album."

Yeah. I think it’s time for me to go to bed. My brain is way past caring about accuracies such as life and death–recordings that keep coming out post-humously don’t help.

Yeah, Bill Laswell, the Axiom dude. Although, I may be wrong about that too.

Anyway, I love No Bones. The "counterpoint" between the guitar and bass is exquisit (please don’t knock me for using the term "counterpoint") and then, it floats off on a plane… Love that.

Yeah there`s tons of Sun Ra reissues over the years.He recorded alot.
Bill Laswell was the Axiom guy correct

I love the part in the middle of No Bones where J`s guitar distortion washes over you like a wave

I’ve always realy loved the intro to Tarpit. The guitar starting with the hi hat and another guitar coming in followed by Murph’s booming drums. It always seemed like a perfect way to kick of a show to me.

A trailer to a film of various musicians talking about what inspired them…

Vic Chesnutt`s clip made me laugh

[severedlips]

a magic moment i had forgotten about………i was at a sonic youth show while they were touring for "goo"…and the glorious guitar freakout during ‘mildred pierce’ just blew me away………i was all high on acid at the time, so i don’t know how much that had to do with the uhhhhhhhh ‘magic’ per se…….but it was freakin’ unreal. i love that song…….

I need to take a music appreciation class because I don’t "get" Sun Ra, I mean he is/was an interesting character. His costumes always reminded me of the "School Play" sort, thrown together, sometimes just a gold piece of fabric over his shoulders with some wire with purple feathers glued to it. The music is kind of different…………………..

I didn’t want to let this topic slip away with out sharing this magic moment in music………….

Several years ago I was camping with several families. We were way up in the mountains in North Carolina,
Everyone had gone to bed and I think I had to wake up because of baby or something…………………
I started mulling around the camp site and I found my good friend Kevin W. awake, we opened a bottle of wine and put another log on the fire. I had my little wind up radio………………….you wind it for 60 seconds and you get about 30 minutes of music……..well, I wasn’t sure what we would find, but after searching we found this[glow=red,2,300] live Led Zeppelin[/glow] it was not any live Led Zeppelin I had ever heard before. We listened to two songs and they seemed really "Off" then the DJ came on and said something about this was a "bootleg" recording from 1974 or something of the sort……..but no venue……….then he went right back into the music…………………….it was CRAZY, with each song Jimmy Page got further and further away from the rest of the band like in measures of music, like he was 2 to 3 measures off. Then he would go into these solos and it was like, My God, I think they have lost him, at certain points the band would try to bring him back without much luck………………..Kev and I were on the ground laughing. Robert Plant was over the top bad with his girly oooohs and ahhhhs,the drums sounded like someone was just KNOCKING THE CRAP OUT OF EVERY BEAT……………………..I have never heard anything like it again………………….I wonder if anyone else has heard really bad Led Zeppelin before. Now, with youtube, you see many film recordings, but almost all were done with multiple cameras so we are getting what the band paid for, so most of the stuff I have been able to see on youtube, ROCKS, This was so magically bad, but funny, and I will never know from where it came, even the station was a mystery. Perhaps everyone was drunk or stoned or both……………………………………………………..
