Yea Josh Homme, I've never seen that trio live but I liked their album.

I've only got into QOTSA recently, haven't heard their debut album yet and only heard their latest album once but the middle 3 I love.

Songs for the Deaf is my favourite album, don't dislike any on it. If you're looking for single songs I'd say go with the flow, first it giveth, another love song, little sister and burn the witch.

Hope you like them, I use to hate them.

Joy Division - New dawn fades

Cheers Phil will look into it
:-)

Phil Lynott - a question for you....

I had the vinyl LP of Live And Dangerous many moons ago. There was a dialogue introduction (a woman's voice) to Jailbreak that went something like...

'It's the worst street in town....so bad......blah blah blah...not like him, yeah him, tooling his big black and white round the endless curve of police street.....settle back, back in the back seat....don't mind the bars between you and the driver, they're for you protection, not his.....'

Well, having somehow lost track of the vinyl LP many years ago, I bought the CD when it came out, and the spoken into to Jailbreak was missing.

Am I making sense to you?

You're making sense, but I wouldn't know tbh I've never heard the vinyl version...too young.
