The original. Green Fields of France, played by Eric Bogle (ex- Scottish) but lives in the Adelaide Hills (or used to). This was played at a winery just up the road from here.

The Fureys with Davey Arthur did a brilliant version as well which I probably favour.

The best anti-war song ever written and the story behind it is beautiful

I'll save that one for Remembrance Day

 

 

Dragonforce - Through Fire And Flames.

Have to watch it every once in a while just for the reality check. Any guitarist just have to see it, and then fall into depression knowing they can never ever touch Herman Li. Those solos are just f****n UNREAL!

 

This the one Matt??




Technicality for technicalities sake. It's not all about speed, you gotta have the feeling for the music as well.

This is much better and better to listen to. Zappa JNR and Steve Vai, Franks understudy, though both geniuses in their own right.

Though every musician on the stage is at the top of their game, there are those that would hack off a limb to play with these guys!

In general, I don't like Steve Vai, he tends toward technical excess, but here, playing an old FZ number he's kept under control by Dweezil and is all the better for it.

Persevere through the Jazz oriented sections (they're short), you'll love it in the end



PS sory if I've posted this before

 

I'm listening to two women who slay me

 

She is way too yummy to be married to Elvis Costello, if she'd have played her cards right she could have married me.

 

I know, he's some lucky SOB. She always has that Freshly F'd look too

gives me shivers

 

I guess that makes him a better choice than me.

 

How about a song about a motorbike to get your mind off some Canadian girl?
