Post up a tour of your new place.
It looks awesome.

its mad - everything is bricks and marble, built in the early 70's and took the guy 8 years to finish. The front door is out of an old church, 3 " thick quarter sawn oak panels. But it's ffffing drafty, just spent a couple of days putting the cling film stuff over all the windows!

New and third album from Burning Rain (Doug Aldrich)

And here's the latest from Jake E Lee's new band. It's blinding!!

Started to go thru my Badlands back catalogue now.

Here's one of their best songs with Ray Gillen - now passed away unfortunately.

Seen some of their stuff on YouTube, Jem - singer looks (& sounds, more importantly) awful

got busy with the cordless and tomorrow night no kids, so let the noise begin!
hooked up another 18" sub. this one is a Wharfeldale LX something or another.. Already tried it out, oh man what a racket! Bomber sounds awesome!!!!!!!!

I wonder what the hi fi boys would make of all this? but who really cares- " the music was good and the music was LOUD" LOL

It's a mans house alright.

Yep Dave, bird's don't get this stuff do they

Bomber tour was 1979 according to my ticket stubs, but dont you mean Hammersmith? Or maybe a later tour where the Bomber rig was still being used?

Either way, cool pic Tweety


Talking of the old days..

An old school mate of ours who we still see for gigs has been going thru his old photos that he took at gigs in and around London from '78 - '87, and has started to upload them to a flickr album. He's been at it a couple of months and is only about 1/4 of the way thru as they need a bit of titivation to get them up to scratch, but I reckon they've come out great (whatever you think of the subject matter )

Any non-believers will no doubt find them laughable and go but some on here will remenisce about the days when Rob Halford dressed from head to toe in leather & studs and it never even occurred to us that he batted for the other side

Plenty more to be added over the coming weeks....

We can be thick Bananarama! ey rob

Loving that picture of Andy on the Rig, that is a "keeper" photograph and a bit of rock history.

"Bomber" tour would have been '79.
The "Ace up your sleeve Tour" was 1980 (Yes, I DO still have the stub).

Both Gigs would have been at Hammersmith, but I am not surprised Andy did not know that - with his "Lifestyle" then I am amazed that he still knows his name and does no just sit in a high-backed chair and dribble a lot.......or maybe he does.....

Back in the late 80's me and my then partner Nick Archdale had a company that did lights for all sorts of thing, posh dinner parties @ the Imperial war musuem to dodgy raves in the east end. The guys we rented space from were Chameleon Lighting up in Ealing and they did the Motorhead tours, the Bomber rig was sitting around, so I got it dragged over to Brixton Academy for a Rave with the Raindance guys, hung far too many Vari+Lites and other effects on it and had a great night whizzing it up and down, looking back on it I think we were way over it's safe weight limit, but we did OK.
if you want to see real lights though, check out this-

We rigged this in ONE DAY, and it had 40x VL 1 Vari*Lites on it, it was the last time the old Genesis rig was ever used, by heck that was some work and I wonder why I have a bad back LOL. Ignore the sound track, that was put on after the gig!

Just for Andy, and the twins:



Serious Lighting Rig....
