What are you listening to now

KISS. RIP Ace Frehley. Biggest inspiration to me as a guitar player than anything else that invaded my teenage ears up to my much older fingers.
A sucky couple of weeks. I feel your pain after my John Lodge thing last week. I took Days of Future Passed to the brewery tonight for album night. I still laugh like hell at the little puppet show we did as kids to KISS in art class.
 
Side 2 of Moving Pictures. That is a musical orgasm

Here is wishing that Ace will be in a "New York Groove" for all eternity

KISS was the first rock concert I ever went to in 1976 at the Birmingham Jefferson Civic Center. I had tickets in the nose-bleed sections, but the heat from their pyrotechnics was still INTENSE, and I was deaf as a stump on the drive back home. We had some very special effects on the trip home conjured up by the God of Thunder, I think. One of the worst storms I've ever driven in with cloud to ground lightning popping every 5-10 seconds. I didn't smoke anything at the concert but didn't really need to with all the second-hand smoke up there, so the timing and intensity of the lightning may have been an exaggeration.

I think I gave $15/ticket for that show, if that. May have been $12 back then.

Never got to see the Moody Blues but always have been a fan and always wanted to. Real life got in the way while they were at their peak.

Ace lived hard and played harder.
 
If you like that, they have Talkin' Hawkin' on Endless River:)
I love my Floyd.
I love Floyd too, the final cut was the final cut for me though. Momentary Lapse of Reason was really a David Gilmour solo album. Waters and Gilmour are another one of those combos where their sum separately, is no where near what they are together. Like Simon and Garfunkel, or Lennon & McCartney for instance.
 
I liked the second side of Momentary Lapse a lot. I like the Gilmour solo albums. I like Radio KAOS, Pros and Cons, and I think Amused to Death by Waters is fucking genius. Who else would have Marv Albert broadcast a war LOL? Some of the lyrics on the album are awesome, even though quite cynical.

Oh Waters be cynical to say the least!
I have seen them both separately, saw Waters on the Pros and Cons tour. Pretty sure I saw Floyd for the Momentary Lapse tour
 
I saw Waters in Tampa about 2006. I went to see Floyd around 1990 or 91, but it was in the Citrus Bowl, and the weather was absolutely horrible. I was so wet and cold that I had to leave... with tears in my eyes for leaving.
I could make an argument for McCartney too. Some of the Wings stuff was wonderful.
