Yeah it is killer and I had previously read it was a terrible song.

BTW got a rare Sabbath CD Single today, paid $60 off ebay, but I'd never seen this anywhere.
Headless Cross/Edit/Cloak and Dagger, C&D only ever released on the vinyl pic disc of HC and the single.
Actually in better condition than the seller described it to be, very happy

Whoever said that needs their head checked.

That single sounds juicy.

[jjrock88]

I was just listening to "Loser gets it all" yesterday. I have it on "Sabbath Stones"; this is a really cool Sabbath compilation from all the non Ozzy eras.

The song is fantastic!

[gazinwales]

Yeah it's a great song for sure, should have been on the album in place of a few less than stella performances.
I am actually missing the Sabbath Stones compilation, don't know why I never bought it.
It's long OOP but I've seen a few on ebay for decent prices.

[jjrock88]

Yeah I can't remember what I paid for it but I know it wasn't cheap. But not off the charts expensive like some albums.

[wolfking]

I think I have that compilation.  It's very good indeed.

I'm all over this!:

[wolfking]

Looks good.

[Lowdz]

Shame the dvd doesn't have all the tracks that are on the cd. I'll pick this up though.

What I've heard from this band is just so generic and dull.  It's a pass from me.

Any word on how Tony MacAlpine is doing?

Any word on how Tony MacAlpine is doing?

There's a video message on his Facebook page from a few weeks back

We're just getting settled in , so not much time.  Also involved in a police/legal stoush with our removalists which is getting nasty and taking up a lot of my time and energy - still hoping to have something done with the podcast before end March.

Still some work to do but here is the early stages of my new dungeon/listening station with new speakers and sit/stand workstation

[Bolsters]

Are those the Swan M50W speakers you have there?

[bl5150]

Are those the Swan M50W speakers you have there?

Good get.   Yeah - if you click to enlarge you can see the little blue light on the volume control disk on the workspace.  I think the sound qualities of the speakers suit the music I listen to quite well.  It took a bit of tweaking on the sound card software to get it all good , but very happy now.

[Bolsters]

Yeah I've been considering getting a new 2.1 set for my computer desk aswell, and these were on my radar. I've read some good things about them.

[wolfking]

Nice little setup there Brent.

Can't view that TMac vid at at work.  Hopefully it's good news.

[wolfking]

TMAC seems in good spirits and looks really well.  Would have liked a bit of an update, but I guess he wants to keep thing private, which is fair enough.

[jjrock88]

Good to hear that Tony is in good spirits!

[Lowdz]

Nice setup Brent.
I don't have anything to compare these days, not since my partner moving in and the kids being born killed my recording studio setup.

Just sold my Marshall practice amp as I've got a Peavey Vyper now. Money is going towards a new floyd rose for the Jem. I appear to have killed the edge pro 

[wolfking]

I appear to have killed the edge pro 

How?

[Lowdz]

I appear to have killed the edge pro 

How?

Not sure. It moves around in the cavity and won't stay in tune whether I use the bar or not. It's going to the doctor for a looking at.

Probably just wear and tear then.  I couple of mine are getting old I think and don't float back to normal position.  If you dip it it goes back in tune, but if you raise it it will go back and sit slightly up and will stay sharp.  You have to dip it again to get back to perfect tuning.    Never bothered to get them looked at.

Yeah that's what I thought. It kept pulling too far forward when I tuned to pitch and I just couldn't get the unit to sit parallel. Didn't want to move the screws too far as I couldn't see why it would suddenly need such a big adjustment.
Off to the shop tomorrow. If it needs a new floyd there goes the cash I had lined up for a digit each trio+.
Whoops I'm in the wrong thread!

Rare comedy sketch from the 80's featuring (along with Dawn French) ...........Lemmy,Gary Moore, David Gilmour ,  Mark Knopfler .  I think they needed Yngwie to round it out perfectly

[Big Hath]

ha, good stuff!

[Evermind]

Hahaha, this made me laugh quite a lot.

[Big Hath]

"it doesn't have the little picture with the dots"

[Evermind]

My favourite moment was either Gilmour keeping playing the guitar those few seconds paying no attention to the prosecutor guy or Mark King going with his solo again with this contented facial expression until they turned the page and then going all "wow, wtf is this?".

[Big Hath]

haha, yeah, the guy was like "oops, wrong page"

[Kwyjibo]

Haha, just laughed out loud, this is indeed very funny and amazing that they got all these players.

... and now with the book

This sucks. The first Blue murder album was killer

[bl5150]

Hey ozzy - sad news.     The opinion on the Blue Murder varies a bit around here.   I think it was half killer , half filler but I do love some tracks on it.  I would've also been interested to hear how it might have sounded with some of the singers that were supposed to have been demoing for it (Ray Gillen, Mark Free).

Screaming Blue Murder is a good live album too if you can find it.

That blows big time.  I love the first album a lot too.

[jjrock88]

Yup very good album
