    Wasn't a huge fan of BTO but this was maybe their best. Following the lineage I had every Guess Who album since their origins. Burton Cummings had a masterful voice and Randy Bachman was a great songwriter. His son Tal Bachman had some interesting music in the 90's and possibly could have filled in for John Lennon if the Beatles had done a reunion tour before George's passing.

    Here's his one hit wonder - a bit flowery but some lovely eye candy.......(Cleopatra for the guys and Tal I suppose for FearThe Beard).

    I've always loved this Blue Murder song, Jelly Roll. John Sykes is a very underrated guitar player.

    Great tune, and I remember it. I will probably always remember Him in Thin Lizzy, and WhiteSnake. I seen Him with WhiteSnake.

    Nice, I saw them for the tour of the "Whitesnake" album that Sykes wrote most of, but Coverdale had replaced him by the time I saw them.

    I saw them twice, once in the 80s and once about 5 or 6 years ago.

    In the 80s, other than Coverdale, it was:

    Vivian Campbell
    Adrian Vandenberg
    Rudy Sarzo
    Tommy Aldridge.


    When I saw them several years ago, other than Coverdale, it was:

    Reb Beach
    Joel Hoekstra
    Michael Devin
    Tommy Aldridge

    I actually recorded a video of Still of the Night at that concert that I still have on my YouTube channel:



    Another great Sykes song that ended up mostly being played by others. He didn't even get to be in the video for the song.

    I dig this. I was always more fascinated with the organ/piano/keyboard player in the Doors than anyone else. I use 2 always pick out His playing on My guitar instead of the actual guitar. LoL. I remember a band mate saying that's the organ part. LoL. I'd say I will play that part You play the guitar part.. LoL. You don't have 2 sell Me on them. :thumbs_up:
    Thanks for the tune(Video).

    My brother played this album to death! It was so popular where I grew up that someone took all the Cs off of the street sign on Clove street. "She has a house and garden, I would like to see what happens....."

    To think, first time I saw him/them was 50 years ago. He was 26. Happy day Sir. Hope you stay Comfortably Numb, in a good way.
