It must have just been the gig of a lifetime, even if you didn't like all the music, just the atmosphere!

Im just starting to learn guitar, im not really good enough to tell yet, but im playing stuff by The Beatles, Oasis, Cream and some Dire Straits stuff.

I agree with "Severin" about Live Aid. Probably the biggest musical event of all time, and to actually be there would have been a memory of a lifetime! (The Wembley show of course!)

NME had a Hendrix-fest last Autumn; Hendrix on the cover, 4 or 5 Hendrix features etc. One of these articles listed modern guitarists and named them his "Natural Heirs" so to speak. ("Children of Jimi") They picked: - Carrie Brownstein - Josh Homme - James Dean Bradfield - Graham Coxon - Kevin Shields - Jack White - Johnny Marr - Jonny Greenwood - Andy Falkous - Matt Bellamy - Nick Zinner OK…. Josh Homme, Jack White aside (and maybe Jonny Greenwood)….. I'm actually in pain laughing at this list, what a joke!? The rest of these guys (and token female) don't come close to being in the same league as Hendrix! If ABBA had been a guitar band, the others would've been their guitarists! Hendrix was raw, charismatic, hugely inventive and poetic. They are formulaic, predictable, corny and frankly boring as f***! That's without even mentioning that at the core of JH's longevity and legend is the fact that he was a blues musician; yes he absolutely made blues contemporary for his time and was not a dust laden tradition keeper but he was a blues man through and through. (Only Jack White & Josh Homme have any real blues going on.) Let's have it right!

I do like Glasvegas, loved their first album, really hope this one is as good...or better!!!

I agree, im not convinced by this album yet, just a bit too wishy washy

Or the multiple solo's in "Have You Ever Loved A Woman" on the EC was here album.

Yeah she was an amazing singer, and a huge influence to almost every modern singer and Im not talking about the "Cheryl Cole's!!!!"

Stephen Dale Petit's album The Crave is full of just fantastic guitar playing, really awe inspiring stuff.

I hate how everyone is going on about how different she is and how its such a new sound?! She sounds the same as Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Alesha Dixon, Sheryl Cole and countless other boring, produced, pop rubbish.

R.I.P Captain! What a legend!

Im surprised Elbow are not bigger?! They make some great music!

Vaccines are cool, saw them on jools
