Graham Norton Show

By the way I turned it off after 5 minutes, rather than watching more to moan more

I've got it on in the background and to observe.

It really is a load of gash, isn't it?

BBC4's more interesting …

The Chronic became a huge hit and spawned even bigger LPs from Dr Dre's protege Snoop Dogg and new Death Row signee Tupac Shakur. The programme explores the hostility that was mounting across America towards the misunderstood violent influence of rap music as Interscope and Time Warner found themselves in the crosshairs of an angry political mainstream. Jimmy also discusses resisting overtures to sell Interscope's stake in Death Row

I thought 9 Inch Nails were a blues band!

You get some good music shows on BBC4 on a Friday night.

Sure do.  This is interesting with rap & metal.  I never got Marilyn Manson - too satanic for me.

Tem minutes till this …

Music promoter John Giddings tells the story of how live performance has become a billion-pound industry. Where once bands would tour just to promote an album, in the age of downloads and dwindling record sales, the live arena is booming. The programme also tells the story of the original Isle of Wight festival, where a bunch of young promoters with big ideas persuaded Bob Dylan, the Who and Leonard Cohen to perform. The event transformed the music industry, and, for the young John who was in the audience, inspired a whole career. Contributors include Phil Collins, Stewart Copeland, Mel C and Alex James

Rock n roll!

Fkn Boner - GTF!

Clayton seems okay.  Never checked him before.

Hendrix

Big Country

This reallyis a very good show.  From the Spice Gals to Metallica

It's true.  My first ACDC ticket cost £3 in Edinburgh.

1980 - For Those About To Rock.

Never saw Bon live

82

Yes this (not norton the music show one) has been interesting.
I resented the HUGE increase in ticket prices but now it makes sense = people expect music for free so it's how they can still make money.

I still buy music but may be I'm old fashioned. I can afford it, I feel it's fair I pay for it.
I resent the idea of paying like £70 for a ticket though!
When he was speaking to big country they were discussing tickets at £3.50-4.50!

(Norton can be good sometimes but the guests tonight were pretty poor. The song on that was just ****. Just bland crap forgetable ****. If it wasn't calvin harris and fat bloke or whatever his name is it would have mp chance of being a hit).

The Keith Lemon character for me is as funny as cancer, maybe I'm just too old.

Sorry Norton/lemon never seen in the same room together. both ****s.

I'm as serious as cancer..

... when I say rhythm is a dancer.

I cannae go Norton at all.  Sorry.

I lost all my Edinburgh ticket stubs when I moved to London circa 87

Best gig was Dio.

Unexpected freebie in the stalls front row.  FKN MENTALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL GIG!!!

JC would you care to dance,

Holy Diver! You've been too long in the midnight sea. Ohhhhh what's becoming of me!

Evil Woman!

FFS

"Evil Woman!"
That's no way to talk about boxing, who is apparently my new love instance, in a belated disply of valentines spirit!

I was away to say "who is that on bass, it isn't .. " then I see it's "Heaven and Hell". So it is :)

2007. Sang himself to death.

RIP Ron.

Er, hold on ...

Hey, this TOPT is 1987.  The year I moved to Landan.

I know these songs!

TOTP

I had a bird was the spit of Kim Wilde.  German

I've said before I like Dio, I prefer him to ozzy in Black Sabbath, which gets me some wierd responses from some :)
Heaven and Hell actually is one of my fav albums in that style. Rainbow Dio brill as well.
Dio's solo stuff is hit and miss. I reckon if you distilled all his solo albums down you'd have about 3 brilliant ones.

I'm sure I've posted this before, the young Dio did 60s pop stuff?

That's him on the left in the photo :)

Hey tribly, I lived in Landonstan for 50 years, great memories.

I'm wanted dead or alive.

PURE CLASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John Bon a great singer.

You're pissed and forgot the link trilby? :)
Kim Wilde was gorgeous.

True but he's poserville now

hold on, just checking ...

Cambodia

Kim is wearing an upside down crucifix in that I just noticed. Obviously hoping to replace Ronnie J Dio on the next Black Sabbath reunion tour.

That was the first thing I noticed.

I then noticed her Bristols are CONSIDERABLY lesser than Britty's titties

Hey trilby for some reason the other day I suddenly though about Bon Jovi, I hadn't realised their original bass player (such) was fired.
Turns out he was apparently crap, and actually anyway it was a session guy some of their stuff in the studio and he is now their bass player.

I think one of the top comments says what I was thinking. She's gorgous and sexy but not a total sl*t.
Now it's all twerking and actiing like a pron star. Kim Wilde should ONLY act like a pron star in MY bedroom! :P

My Britty looked more like Kim in 81

Isn't music Fckin great.

ARRGH GRAMMARLY AD! How much money have Grammarly spent advertising to me? Must be so big it could be on the side of a bus.

Blame brexit JC, buses and all that.

Every girl looked like that in 1981 trilby. Apart from your Nicola Sturgeon of course:

FOYDC

Madonna, so much talent.........will we ever see it.

Naw, music's finnish.

Madonna is a secret sin of mine, as a loyal member of the Dio fan club :)
She can dress me up in her love any time.

Sing a song like the old days and you'll get put in gaol

Did you get her book back in the early days?

I like her but I wouldn't knock her one off.

(BTW that Sturgeon photo is fantastic, if I could be bothered working out how to upload photos I'd do so!).

Are you avin a giraffe?

Yea madonna went mad at one point, not a fan of all that crap. THe "sex" period. I think I read an unopened copy of that is worth a lot now, her book came in a wierd package. Oooh-err matron!

By fantastic I mean "hilarious"

My opinion of madonna is good, went mad, became crap, got good again, now crap again .
Her career looks like a camels back.

Ffs, still got krankie's pic on another tab.

Almost heaved a mooth of beer on me k/b

You're saving it for ... when you feel lonely later?

It's a bit more Kim Jong Un than Wilde. Have some respect for yourself

I'm offski GN and GL for tomorrow guys.

As with Kylie, she's got some superb tunes but some right dodgy / commercial pish ones too.  They've done well for themselves.  Esp Kylie with her cancer.  I'm not a huge fan of either.

GN Boxer.  Peace

I'm looking for some Dio from Edinburgh, JC.

This looks about right

PS, just seen Norman J on my tv, played in my footy team and became my next door neighbour. Good guy, letting himself down on this black opressed carp.

We Rock

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kE__YoKNnho

You watch their faces

You'll see the traces

Of the things they want to be

But only we can see



They come for killing

They leave and still it seems

The cloud that's left behind

Oh, can penetrate your mind



But sail on, sing a song, carry on

Cause We Rock, We Rock, We Rock, We Rock



We pray to someone

But when it's said and done

It's really all the same

With just a different name

So many voices

All giving choices

If we listen they will say

Oh, we can find the way



But we'll sail on, sing a song, carry on

Cause We Rock, We Rock, We Rock, We Rock

We Rock, We Rock, We Rock, We Rock

We Rock!



We Rock

You watch their faces

You'll see the traces

Of the things they want to be

But only we can see

They come for killing

They leave and still it seems

The cloud that's left behind

Can penetrate your mind



Sail on, sing a song, carry on

Cause We Rock, We Rock, We Rock, We Rock

We Rock, We Rock, We Rock, We Rock



Ride out - stand and shout - carry on

Sail on - Sing your song - carry on

funniest Norton clip ever, wait for it!!!!!!

Great drums on "We Rock". In my sidebar I had this, Kim Wilde in a duet with Nena?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBjORE4I-qU
I'm guessing Kim was bigger in Germany than here perhaps, by all the crap youtube is throwing up.

Blimey, there's my Britta's double on the right of that sandwich!

Aye, Kim's huge in the Fatterland

Still on BBC4 - this is what I call music #1

Arena: American Epic: The Big Bang The first of three programmes exploring roots music in the US, beginning with the birth of country music and urban blues in the 1920s. As record sales rose in the early days of radio, companies began exploring rural areas in search of new artists. The programme features early recordings by Appalachian country music pioneers the Carter Family and Will Shade and The Memphis Jug Band, whose music prefigured modern rap and RnB. Narrated by Robert Redford
