That might be true, but I would also think quite often once commercial sucess has been achieved, an artist is in a stronger place to do more of what they want to creatively, and don’t have to bow so much to the labels demands, or care so much about making huge sales.
It came to mind Mark Knopfler working with Heidi Talbot on a effectively folk album. I doubt it made him much income, he may have a soft spot for blondes like another of our esteemed NE residents.
This cover of a Willie Nelson track is (I think) splendid.
That is new to me. Thanks.
And I do take your point. I agree that although some bands get sloppy, some bands/artists/musicians do have a lot more to give.
Knopfler also played with singer / blues guitarist Rory Block back in '92. Country/Blues.
Nice, I hadn’t heard that before.
And even further from the topic, that song sung by Willie is on ‘A Horse called music’.
I have never had a tattoo, even though one of my best mates has a studio, but if I did I would be asking if you can do me a full back tattoo of Willie Nelson on a prancing horse, please?
Have you ever heard of the saying?
If you have nothing nice to say don’t say owt?
There are are tons of bands and singers I’d love to see, those are just a few off the top of my head. You know zilch about me or my music taste so jog on fella.
I’m glad someone else is here who knows Joe Satriani and seen him live when I went in the 90’s he was awesome and it was deafening.
Well news flash for you buddy I can’t stand Oasis at all and would not piss on them if they were on fire. I hate them and every single song they ever done and hate the pair of the useless ■■■■■■
And anyone can like or dislike anyone they want to music wise as can you.

I dunno the list goes on and on and when I want to think of bands etc my mind just goes blank for some reason. Struggle with never artists cause I like a lot of newer stuff but can never tell what it’s called or who it’s by.
All ones id liked to have see. some maybe I still can if they have yours again others well for obvious reasons I can’t.
Chill bro. Just ‘Roll with it’

Boom tish I see what you did there but I do passionately hate oasis, if an oasis sing comes on the radio I turn as low as I can do I can barely hear it just so I know it’s finished
