    That would have been 'Shut Up and Play Yer Guitar'.... another great album by FZ.

      Favorite band-Michael Stanley Band
      Favorite song-He can't love you-MSB
      Favorite line- "Thank God for the man who put the white lines on the highway"
      (same band, different song)

      Not the most well known band and you had to be old enough to be around then but they could play.

          I don't normally like country music but search U-Tube for "United Breaks Guitars." It's worth the view...

            Cool Song

            What's playing in your head when you wake up, or roll down the road?

                  Mystic2000.....Led Zep for a class trip? What the hell school did you go to?
                  In 77 I was 8. I think that was about the age I was given 8 tracks of Kiss, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, and Led from my best friends older brother. I blame him for alot of things.....
                  It wasn't a class trip but in 87, just after I graduated we went to see Guns and Roses and Aerosmith, It was the first real tour for the roses and Aerosmith's first comeback. They played mostly all old songs and it was great.
                  We were front and center and the "people soup" was crazy. The people moved you. You were unable to do anything but move with them. My buddy got his shoes pulled off by other feat.
                  Favorite song? I have a few
                  *oh well...I can't sing, I aint pretty and my legs are thin, oh well...
                  *Everlong by the Foo Fighters is a good one, Hard to believe Dave Grohl was a drummer in that other band.
                  * Sabath,Bloody Sabbath by Black Sabbath..".Nobody will ever let you know, When you ask the reasons why. They'll just tell you that you're on your own, and fill your head all full of lies" or maybe Never say Die.
                  * Ozzy, Flying High Again would have to be my High school theme
                  *Warren Zevon"s Lawyers Guns and Money
                  * I spent about ten years lost in Bob Dylan's stuff
                  *Lunch Box, by that freak M. Manson has to fit in there some place. If you haven't you should check it out. "I've got my lunchbox and I'm armed real well"
                  I like music too much to pick one. I could pick more than you would want to read.
                  ****Favorite guitar player is Jimmy Page without question.

                    Warren Zevon

                    Another Zevon fan! I like Lawyers, Guns and Money, but Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner is awesome! Things To do In Denver When You're Dead is too! However Mr. Bad Example has got to be his best!

                          Music

                          I could never pick just one. I'm a big blues fan but will listen to anything but Rap or sugar pop. Mood dictates a lot, sometime when I'm in the shop and have to concentrate hard on what I'm doing I'll put on classical, but other days when it's just repetative work I'll put on 50's rock or some big band stuff. Not a day goes by though without music in the background. Like Steve, I've spent years transfering my vinyl, tapes and CD's to a computer so I can play anything at anytime.

                            I'm a major southern rock kinda guy,kinda ironic being from N.Y. but I lived in N.C. for 2 years in the early 80's and fell in love with it.Favorite band is Lynard Skynard,gotta love lead guitar. Favorite song,gimme three steps,kinda puts you in the mood to party.. I do like some country, Travis Tritt,among others.More trivia,Lynard Skynard named the band after there gym coach(who they didn't like),Lennard Skinner. They went to school in FL.
