No hubcaps in the BBC car park after this performance.

Tina Turner - what a career - and she looked amazing way in to her mid years.

Frank Zappa's 1974 Over-Nite Sensation and one of his best albums featured Tina and The Ikettes. You can hear her voice distinctively on songs like Dynamo Hum - which is pretty NSFW. Worth a listen to just to hear her doing studio session work 45+ years ago under the thumb of the arsehole Ike unfortunately.

This is where the 1990's musical revolution begins. Samplers started becoming somewhat affordable, sequencers could run on home computers and the net result was songs like Rhubarb and Custard, Outer Space and swathes of homemade electronic music/videos which were despised by the hit making producers of 1988/1989 but loved by the young uns.

Bugger to that news


Eddie knew what Rock and Roll was all about, and he did it brilliantly

“I don’t know **** about scales or music theory,” he told Rolling Stone in 1980. “I don’t want to be seen as the fastest guitar in town, ready and willing to gun down the competition. All I know is that rock & roll guitar, like blues guitar, should be melody, speed, and taste, but more important, it should have emotion. I just want my guitar playing to make people feel something: happy, sad, even horny.”

Bernie Marsden on Facebook



Donington Park, 1984 - AC/DC were headlining and Van Halen, Ozzy, Gary Moore and Y&T were also all on the bill. I was there as a guest that year, seeing and hanging out with some mates, Gary Moore being my closest friend on the bill.

Gary had played his set and had been received royally as the true guitar hero he was. I told him I really wanted to go and watch Van Halen from the side of the stage, and told him to come and join me. Neither of us had seen Eddie playing live before, but I was so excited to see him play, gushing about his ability. Gary was obviously aware of the Van Halen records, and slightly reluctantly agreed to join me. I told him that I thought Eddie was the modern equivalent of Eric Clapton - his guitar style was being absorbed and obsessed over by a whole new generation of guitarists. Just like Eric did for us. Gary didn’t seem so sure!

We took our places side stage and within a few moments Gary was transported. His mouth opening wider in awe, “Bern, I had no idea he was THIS good!”

That’s how good Eddie Van Halen was, folks - take it from Gary Moore.

Thank you EVH - you reinvented what it was to be a guitar hero

Eddie Van Halen was a brilliant guitarist who started a technique of guitar playing which was emulated by a whole generation of guitarists. He was one of the nicest musicians I ever met in the music business. Very shy and not at all conceited about his ability as a guitar player. Frank Zappa said he reinvented the guitar. I agree. He will be sadly missed but his brilliant legacy will always be remembered. The ultimate guitar hero.

It's great to see him get the credit he deserves. When 1984 was released the tapes being passed around in 4th class primary school changed from Queen's Greatest Hits, Bat Out Of Hell, Deep Purple and the like to it and ZZ Top's Eliminator. Both albums were so modern and quite different but are absolutely imprinted in my being and I just wanted to play guitar after the revelation of hearing them countless times.
