70's Glam/Rock

I kinda see Glam as a UK beast with Bowie and Marc Bolan/T.Rex atop the two headed monster---Lou Reed made a lousy record after leaving VU then brought inBowie to produce Transformer---I rode my Dad's exercise bike in the basement to an 8-track of Lou Reed's Rock 'N Roll Animal (terrific speedsreached during the finale of Rock And Roll)---Love the Roxy Music stuff and the Ferry stuff that followed especially Mamouna, co-produced with Robin Trower andloaded with Eno sonic stuff---I recently picked up a strange mutli-image thing by Brian Eno called 77 Million Paintings, designed to plug into yourcomputer---ToM/NOLa

This is a great thread - thanks for starting it up John! If any of you have ever been to a convention, one of the things you can count on is cool musicwhenever you walk into John and Connie's room.<br>I was too young to have been into these bands in their heyday, but all the tunes are familiar and hearing them takes me back. As Kitty said, I can also see theinfluences that appeared in other bands that followed.<br>Great stuff! Dave (daspanic), you should start your own thread just about your music memories from your childhood on up to the Panic years. I love your storiesman, and you're a good story teller to boot.<br><br>Steve

<blockquote> Lou's "Rock and Roll Animal" is a masterpiece of live recording and playing (he was backed by the studio hired gun/hotshot guys from Alice Cooper).</blockquote>I'll never forget seeing Steve Hunter &amp; Dick Wagner having a guitar duel on stage during the Welcome To My Nightmare Tour.<br>John

Great Thread! I once heard, It may be a rumor that either Hunter or Wagner did both guitar solo's on Aerosmith's "Train kept a Rollin"<img height="20" src="http://www.ezboard.com/image/posticons/pi_wink1.gif" width="20" alt="image"><br><br>Rich<br>

Gregg: whoa! I stand corrected. I totally forgot about that. I recognise the cover art pics. He looks a lot better in "normal" mode heh<br><br>Rich, I definitely would like to know more about that. Steve Perry is one of those aforementioned guitar heroes.

I think you mean Joe Perry. Steve Perry sang for Journey.<br><br>And Rich, I never heard that rumour. But when Joe Perry was asked who his favorite guitar player is, he answered: "Brad Whitford."

DOH. Too much on my mind again. Yes, Joe Perry. I had to look at my last post to be sure I said Steve. Daaaaayammmm!

gotta hear more about this solo work with Gilmour... just bought his most recent work and am curious about what other bands he contributed to and such...<br><br>since its not necessarily glam probably best you YUKU that to me or call if you've got my number... just outta respect for John and his thread... thanks inadvance!<br><br>A.

I got a friend who was Joe Perry's sound man through the Joe Perry Project years. He has quiet a few stories to tell. One night while out drinking, He hadtold me this story about the "Alice Cooper boys" being hired to lay down some guitar tracks for the "Aerosmith boys" during the Get YourWings sessions. It's interesting because I've never known Joe Perry to be so clean with his guitar playing now and especially then. Listen to thesolo's and it definitely isn't Brad Whitford. Believe me, I'm a HUGE Aerosmith fan! I've met them many, many times, had dinner with them once,see them alot around the area before I moved to Rhode Island. I hated to believe the story myself.<br><br>Asa, Check out Pete Townsends "Give Blood" track. Around 1987 or 88. Not certain. That's all Gilmore!!!!<br><br>Rich

thanks Rich!
