Hi all
Interesting thread.
Hey Marty, I really don't understand anyone getting so into a band that they choose one to create thrir nic!
I gotta agree though, I started listening to Kiss in 1975 before they were real famous. I used to love listening to Detroit Rock City amongst others on the Destroyer album. (Remember those big, round, black discs made of vinyl?)
Also got into Queen about the same time. I was 10 I think and everyone else my age was listening to Abba, Mark Holden and David Essex.
In 1977 at the age of 12 I came across a band that I believe had one of the greatest guitarists of all time in it, Dire Straits and the guitarist of course is Mark Knopfler. I still think their song Sultans of Swing has some of the best guitar in it ever.
I had every Lynyrd Skynyrd album available at that time too. Also had a lot of Neil Young for something a bit more laid back. And I shouldn't forget Neil Diamond too, I was buying his albums at 9 while other kids my age where buying Tonka trucks.
Other bands and individuals I got into were Midnight Oil, ZZ Top, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Jim Croce, Deep Purple, Bon Jovi, Eagles and there'd be a whole lot more too.
Do you play an instrument Marty?
Cheers

Curtis,
Out of the entire Beatles collection your favourite song of theirs is Twist and Shout? Oh my.
What about 'For No One', 'Hey Jude', 'Eleanor Rigby', 'Yesterday', 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' and 'Let it Be'. These brilliant songs off the top of my head, I'm sure I forgot some other rippers.
But Twist and Shout are you serious?????????
Yes, all this counting/dancing and singing, I'm exhausted....... see the "larger" was meant to be "lager"...jeez..... haven't even had a drink yet, [although at the time I think the lagers were larger], and I think I was singing better...should just slink out of here before anybody notices......I'm looking for my "Mick Jagger lips" logo, can't leave those lying around for any fool to play with.

Loudest concert I've been too was ZZ Top at the Surfers Paradise raceway in 1987. They had approx 50 speakers on each of the stage stacked on scaffolding as large as the side of a 2 story house, each speaker being about 1.2 X 0.9m. Was awesome. And the sound was crystal clear and surprisingly didn't hurt your ears.
Apparently people could hear it 10 km away.
The 2 pre-bands were Rose Tattoo and The Angels.
The Judas Priest Heavy Metal Car Park reminded me of it.
When I was at uni, I went to a Rod Stewart concert. No big deal- except that I was getting paid double time and a half to watch it- and was a part of his security cordon at the end (my vacation job was with a trucking company).Sultan of Swing said:

Mark Knopfler Sat. 12th March this year, Rod Laver Arena, 6 rows back from stage, unbelievable.
Can this man play guitar or what!
So Impressed flew up to Sydney, got 4th row tickets for Knopfler show at Enmore Theatre in Newtown for Tuesday 15th. This show even more unbelievable. Have posted photo's of Knopfler live on stage at Enmore Theatre in the photo gallery for anyone interested.
This man is truly gifted when it comes to playing guitar.
