Good point,Beck is technically better but of course that is not everything.I have more Hendrix albums than Beck ones too.
And Hendrix was an original trailblazer too.
Many have imitated him,Trower,Morino,SRV to name just three,all good,but not the same.

CCR were brilliant and still very much loved in NL.
If any of you ever listen to the Dutch Pirate Radio stations on around 185 metres.....1620 Khz,you wil hear plenty of CCR songs.

Great thread.....been moved again.....but great anyway.....yeah,Jeff Beck is better than Hendrix,I know that sounds like blasphemy,but he is.....and Zakk Wylde is serious competition...

It was a close run thing Doug.....Dad only allowed me to go because my friends Dad drove us there and picked us up....in 1970 Grand Funk Railroad did a free concert in Hyde Park and Dad wouldn't let me go.....the second gig I went to was also at the Royal Albert hall in 1971 and was Black Sabbath.....at their peak.....that was a real eye opener....I think Wild Turkey were supporting and my third gig was at The Rainbow....Humble Pie....

The first gig I ever went to was when I was about 14,in 1971 at The Royal Albert Hall,Deep Purple had released In Rock the previous year and so played most of that plus some songs from their new album,Fireball....quite an event for a young kid's first gig.Support band were Hard Stuff I think.

Many years later I saw the Coverdale/Hughes line up at Wembley and they were truly awful.....but I've seen both Trapeze and Whitesnake and they were superb.I'm a bit too young for the early Purple but I did like some of the songs mentioned but Hush was my favourite.

Love / Am I The Only One Who Doesn't Find Polish Women Attractive? [93]

I think Irish women are the best looking,but I'm biased.....I married one....

History / Do Polish people in general dislike Russia or Germany more? [369]


In your earlier post you complained that those Russian attrocities were commited over 80 years ago and said"How long people can live obsessed with the past?" and now you want to take us even further back!

Your hypocrisy is laughable!

History / Do Polish people in general dislike Russia or Germany more? [369]


Yes,but Russian control of Poland only ended less than 30 years ago.......and I don't buy the Asian argument,Russia is only 23% in Europe,the rest is in Asia.

History / What is Poles opinion on Intermarium (Międzymorze)? [188]

Ridiculous idea.
No benefit to Poland at all.

If I'm honest,I prefered Gary Moore,especially when he was with my all time favourite Irish band Thin Lizzy.
I saw them live more than any other band and Phil Lynott was someting else!!

Yeah,him too! And I'm old enough to remember Taste!

Life / Differences between Irish, British, Polish, American and other nations culture, tradition, music - loose talk [239]


Seems that way......besides our various Polish connections some of us share similar musical tastes......maybe we should concentrate less on this Aussie/Brit/Yank thing and more on what we have in common.


Yeah,still love all those guys too and The Butterfield Blues Band.I also love a live album Mike Bloomfield did with Al Kooper called "The Supersession".

How about what we here call "Southern Rock"?Allman Bros,Lynyrd Skynyrd,The Outlaws,38 Special,Molly Hatchet,Blackfoot etc?

How could I forget Robin Trower???
Saw him twice......unbelievable!
Joker,enjoy your smoke mate!

Yes,very nice stuff...he later on formed the band Camel,I saw them a couple of times and they were very good too.
But Peter Green was really good....until the drugs came along....

We must be of similar age as I agree with all you said.
Buddy Guy is just amazing..........Hendrix and SRV are right up there amongst the greatest ever.
Gary Moore had it( from Atch's neck of the woods of course!)
I loved early Santana but he can get a bit repetitive.....
Of the newer guys,yeah Bonamassa is great and I love Warren Haynes too.
Though not really a Blues guitarist I think Zakk Wylde is incredible too.
Agree on AC/DC too,boring,repetitious stuff.........

Life / Differences between Irish, British, Polish, American and other nations culture, tradition, music - loose talk [239]

I have to agree with The Yanks here.All the great British artists and bands of the sixties and seventies were influenced by American music,mainly The Blues and Rock'n'Roll.

The Blues is the granddaddy of nearly all popular music of the last 65 years.
And it is without question American.

UK, Ireland / Polish passport - UK citizen [16]

I think he would have been stripped of his Polish nationality by the Communists after the war,as my father was.
Before getting a British passport my father was given a "Travel Document" issued by The British government with which he could use as a passport but would not be protected by The British Government.He could not return to Poland with that document.

You have a good point............

Love / Why do so many Polish girls dye their hair BLACK? [124]

This is a dumb thread......in UK most girls are not blonde,so blonde is seen as attractive and girls dye hair blonde.
In Poland,blonde hair is common,so black hair is seen as attractive and girls dye hair black.

History / Not proud of my Polish heritage [110]

And your point?

History / Not proud of my Polish heritage [110]

But you were being elitist again by comparing educated people to peasants.....you were clever not to use those terms,but it was clear.

History / Not proud of my Polish heritage [110]

And you think their opinion is less important?

History / Not proud of my Polish heritage [110]

And The KGB,or their current equivalent are so stupid they don't see how moronic their posts are..... :-)
Like I said,why don't you have a troll to troll conversation. ....you can get his contact details via Moscow HQ.

History / Not proud of my Polish heritage [110]

Amazing that you have done so much research into Polish Jews and yet can't think of a worthy Pole.....go away you dumb,lazy troll.

History / Not proud of my Polish heritage [110]

All trolls need to stick together,right?

History / Not proud of my Polish heritage [110]

Call me paranoid if you want but this guy's English is appalling.....it's not his first language.
Another troll?

History / Not proud of my Polish heritage [110]

What is your point?
You just seem to be slagging off Poland and Polish people.
Poland has had a difficult history and has survived with it's language,customs and culture intact.
I think that alone is worthy of praise......but you prefer to insult and belittle us....

History / Not proud of my Polish heritage [110]

I don't believe you are Polish.
If you are American just research your revolution till you come up with a very famous Polish name that helped you gain independence. ....

News / Poland in the European Union. Polexit? [559]

The EU will need massive changes if it is to survive.
They have to recognise the sovereignty and patriotism of individual states.
Europeans will continue to identify with and have pride in their own countries,customs,anthems and flags.
They will never feel that passion for a United States of Europe.
