Big B's bargain basement solo classic jukebox

big b · 17-09-2009 4:34pm #1

Ok, so every time I click on "post reply" on Mike's fabulous classic jukebox thread, my internet world crashes. Yep, only on that thread. I smell a metallers' conspiracy!:pac:

Anyhoo, to amuse myself, and to share some goodies with you all, I'm going to try posting a few youtubes on here.
Could I ask you good folks to keep posting your clips on Mike's thread instead of this one, Mike was first up & I'm just keen to see if my poxy computer can cope with the limited amount of embedding I'm going to do here. Comments are welcome though, of course!
But I hope you enjoy the clips.
First up is one from long before Starflake was born. Quo never made another song like this, but did make a career of other songs that are hard to tell apart.

well, that seemed to go well!

While i'm on a roll, here's a good song from a canadian band I found years ago.

This is weirdly successful so far!

Another vintage band coming up.....

Thanks big B for the top song... Great tune... Ah I may be young but my heart was born in the late 50's! I've always said it! please keep posting you always share great songs

Thanks Starflake

Your heart was born in the late 50's?
Mine too. Unfortunately, so was the rest of me!

Anyway, hope you enjoy this 80's flashback:D
Only saw this band once, at a 2 day festival in Loch Lomond Bear Park:eek:

well, I still crash when I try to open Mike's thread, and it's getting kinda lonely in here, so maybe a few better known songs, like you might actually have found on a jukebox in the good old days...
This song was always on back then, I got pretty sick of it. But hearing it again today was good...

Well, I still can't post on Mike's jukebox thread

I can read it though, and there's lots of good stuff there.

Little green bag was a great find! Great song, and used in a great movie.

Anyway, it's not much fun playing on my own here, so maybe the good Doctor could merge these threads & i'll just be a viewer?
Here's something I was listening to yesterday, with the late great Ginger baker on drums.

CAt scratch fever was a great choice big b! (And resevoir dogs ... quality movie.. massive Tarantino fan myself! ) Do you rate the Pantera cover of cat scratch fever at all?

big b · 01-10-2009 4:41pm

hiyah Joan Jett Starflake

I've heard a few versions of this song, none of which come anywhere near the original,imo.

Nothing wrong with pantera's version, in context, but if both copies were sitting on my coffee table waiting to be played, I'd be picking up Teds' just about every time.

By the way - you know Motorhead gave it their usual treatment too? No surprises there, but it rocks!

starflake · 01-10-2009 4:45pm

HA ! That's a first! Thanks!

I didnt know they (Motorhead) did a version of this but i'll be investigating it shortly! Motorhead can give anything a go and succeed IMO. I remember thinkin last November at the ambassador gig that they looked and played like three young guys! What a band!

Hmmm, your thread loads just fine for me.

Yeah, it's a weird one Mike. I tried your jukebox thread again yesterday, as usual I can read it fine, but as soon as I hit "post reply"....crash:mad:
The only thread on boards, or any other site, this happens to me.

I started this thread just to see if another one with lots of embedding might do the same, but as you can see, this one gives me no bother. Weird...

I must admit I haven't been to a Motorhead gig since about....the Bomber tour!:eek:

So, you reckon they can still do the business live? Quite an achievement after the sheltered, cozy lifestyle the guys led;)
