THE CLUBHOUSE

Thanks for that link Ian - pretty cool.

There's a thread on the Monkey Bars seems to be point-central for COVID-19 cheeriness, but this seemed more appropriate placed HERE.

TeeFury added a couple of clever designs today . . . hope they make you smile

LOL - that hair man!

I was going to do so much today, but I am still sitting here just watching this live stream.

Another "40 years old today" post (can you tell this is towards the start of my happiest record-buying years?)

Ronnie-James Dio saves Black Sabbath - and they record arguably the best album Sabbath ever released.

• • Side one
    • • Neon Knights
      • Children of the Sea
      • Lady Evil
      • Heaven and Hell
    Side two
    • • Wishing Well
      • Die Young (link below)
      • Walk Away
      • Lonely Is the Word

Oh yeah. That is a killer album.

My first introduction to Dio was on the Mob Rules album.
I had cassette copies of some of the early Sabbath albums, but I bought Mob Rules, and loved it.
Then I had to go back later and get Heaven and Hell because I loved Ronnie's vocals so much.

Then he went solo, and every time I tried talking to people about how awesome Dio was, they kept thinking I was talking about Devo.

LOL - a great way of figuring out who's worth talking to


.

That's just it, even people who loved great music were clueless.
Devo was still a thing then, and for some reason, lots of people had no idea who RJD was.

I was lucky to see Dio with Rainbow, Sabbath and Solo - loved his voice!

I only got to see him solo.
I wanted to see him in Heaven & Hell, but then he got sick, and we all know what happened.

I saw him with Heaven & Hell - shortly after it was announced he was sick. Soon after quickly gone................

If he was sick during the time I saw him you could never tell - his voice was still great.

Missed him live with Rainbow (just) - but particularly liked the "Long Live Rock 'n' Roll" album.

Saw him multiple times in Sabbath & solo, then once here in "concert sinkhole land" as Heaven & Hell.

Could never help thinking he was one of the ugliest frontmen in rock - but MAN what a voice!

.

How true - he wouldn't win any beauty contests! I guess with him beauty was in the "ears" of the beholder.

IAN!

The HU - Song of Women feat. Lzzy Hale

OMG, her vocals are just beautiful.
(is it just me, or is there kind of a Grace Slick vibe to her vocals on this)

Such a departure from her normal style, but of course she still brings in that growl a few times just to add a bit of a bite.

Beat me to it Bro - got the direct email about 5 hours ago but didn't get off my arse to post the link.

The lady opens her mouth and hairs stand on end.

Have you seen the Jacoby one?

.

Yeah. That was a few months ago.
Pretty sure I posted it here, but maybe not.

As much as I liked that, I like this one with Lzzy more because it is so different.
She doesn't get to do this kind of style with Halestorm.
