    is that a slip of the tongue? ;)

    In an interview Bernie Marsden was asked, "You must have been very proud when you first saw Whitesnake singing your song 'Here I Go Again' on MTV etc."

    Bernie: Whitesnake?? You mean David and four Americans?

    The first line up of 'American Whitesnake' consisted of a Dutch guitar player, a Norn Iron guitar player, a Cuban bass player and an American drummer.

    Show Me Heaven probably would have won the Eurovision if it had been entered at the time. Damn song was everywhere like the unspeakable Bryan Adams number one.

    Be thankful for a Jean's ad that they're not playing Jimmy Mallet.

    Saw FNM in Dalyer at Sunstroke '93, place was rammed with shirtless (all male unfortunately) pissed up 16 year old RHCP fans, they'd pulled out and FNM were the replacement headliners. Always liked them and thought they were great on the night, if RHCP had been on I'd have gone home by then :pac:

    I was there for Sonic Youth, their sound was crap unfortunately... was the second time I saw them, first time was the infamous Top Hat '91 :)

    ... first time was the infamous Top Hat '91 :)

    It was worth the wait that night - still relatively fresh in my memory.

    Big Jim Martin, hands down my favourite guitarist turned pumpkin farmer.

    From the 'Groove Is In The Heart' wiki... :(


    In the UK, the record was equally popular and was released as a double A-side with "What Is Love", and, with the UK single released with the subtitle "peanut butter mix" (because the single was heavily edited and completely omitted the contributions by Bootsy Collins and Q-Tip), it eventually reached number 2 during September 1990. Its placing second was due to a rule instituted in the UK Singles Chart in the 1980s, which settled any "ties" over chart positions due to equal sales: the single with sales that had increased most from the previous week would reside above the other, controversially giving "The Joker" by the Steve Miller Band the top place.

    Following complaints from Deee-Lite's record company, WEA, the rule, of which this had been the only case, was scrapped and joint positions were once again allowed. However, it turned out that the 2,595 panel sales that both records achieved for this week of 15 September 1990 had been rounded up, with chart compilers Gallup later releasing the data that showed that the Steve Miller Band were indeed a fraction ahead (selling about eight copies more than Deee-Lite) :eek: ."The Joker" spent a second week at the number-one spot and thereafter convincingly outsold "Groove Is in the Heart".

    Shakin Stevens is Welsh - I never knew that and I'm using it as a very good excuse to start smoking lots of bongs after a rather busy working week.

    Interesting music story find of the week...’that’ incident at the Brit Awards starring Jarvis Cocker and Michael Jackson!


    https://amp.theguardian.com/music/2021/feb/19/bum-rush-the-show-jarvis-cockers-britpop-celebrity-moment


    I didn’t know members of Massive Attack were on the same table as Jarvis...I would have thought they’d be seated up in the Mezzanine.


    Thank you, I’m here all week! :cool:

    Strange the mention of Tricky. I remember reading an interview with him not too long after where he tore into Jarvis over the Jacko thing.

    Who'd win in a relatively contemporary musical fight off between Ireland and Wales? Scotland I'd say.

    Yeah. Support act wasn't bad either, wonder whatever happened to them?
