honez 79 Posted February 12, 2009 I reckon all three on Bryan May's Star Fleet Project are absolute crackers. You can't get a better ratio than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Grendel 139 Posted October 21, 2011 AC/DC The Exhibition is on the road. The only European stop is Scotland, Angus and Malcolm Young were born in that 'desert wi windaes' suburb of Glasgow - Drumchapel and Bon Scott came from Kirriemuir in Fife. According to this it will be running at Glasgow's Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum for the next 3 months. I'm going next month with a bunch of old friends, some I haven't seen in over 20 years. It will be strange to actually see them inside the museum and not in the park next door where we spent many a July weekend in the 1980's getting pissed and heckling up and coming bands like Bon Jovi in true Glasgow style at the Kelvingrove Festival.

Lady Grendel 139 Posted October 26, 2011 Bon Scott came from Kirriemuir in Fife. Time to buy a new map, methinks. No map needed just a bit of Googling. Apologies, I don't know the north east coast of Scotland very well at all I am afraid. I had managed to wipe Angus from my memory after spending a lot of weekends visiting Dundee many years ago when my ex was at Uni there. He lived in a terrible student flat right across from a pub where every weekend it turned into the 'Karaoke Central from Hell' complete with the patrons bashing the lights out of each other on the pavement outside his flat at 1 a.m. No Fri/Sat/Sun night was complete without the arrival of the emergency services.

We've got our fingers crossed that he'll get strong again,’ Johnson says". - That doesn't sound like he's exactly brimming with confidence. ""We're done. I'm very excited and we've got some great songs. I wanted to call the album Man Down. But it's a bit negative and it was probably just straight from the heart. I like that," Johnson said." - About as cheerful as Back in Black.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
