jeez, everyone will be blubbing big time if you played that at a funeral.

I got a flute player to play 'Flower of Scotland' at me dad's funeral (he was a jock), even the most hard nosed bastard had wet eyes

I think i'd go for something humorous like 'Highway to Hell', I think it would go down well in a Catholic church

Nice idea, mate. The coffin is rolled towards the fiery furnace, and over the sound system comes, "Kisses for me, save all your kisses for me . . . ." Not a dry trouser leg in the place, assured.

As a complete Atheist I would feel OK with the following medley!

AC/DC Highway to Hell
Ian Gillan No laughing in Heaven
The Doors The End
and to end on a lighter note Bobby McFerrins's Don't Worry be Happy!

Now My Heart Is Full by Morrissey.




Please no predictable comments about doom, gloom or effeminancy. Ace- Morrissey is a fucking god, you Chelsea goon!

Eva Cassidy - Songbird

Very appropriate considering the current turmoil in my private life.........

Jay

This song by Ol' Blue eyes, and NOT the Sid Vicious version is the most requested 'final song' by Dead Men Walking*

*A prisoner being escorted to his death

For me, '(White Man) in Hammersmith Palais'

"The guitar solo in CN is without a doubt the best I have ever heard."

I love you.

I know what you mean about THAT live version too. Just when you think it can't possibly get even more sensational DG moves up a gear and takes your head clean off with that distorted and grinding, repeating lick wherein it sounds like he's wringing the very life from his Stratocaster. He follows that with a smoking flurry of piercing notes bringing to a close the leviathan that is a live Comfortably Numb and the listener checks between his legs to find a bloody mass where his balls once were!

(I nicked that last bit from an old "Kerrang: review that I never forgot!)

Malmsteen, Vai, Satriani and a million other dull, emotionless shredders...listen and fucking learn.

Eva was amazing, I have all her cds now, I wish u the best Jay, in whatever turmoil your going through, AND to seeing your site finally open! any links to R18 DVD wholesalers at all mate?

Totally with you bro.

Maalmsteen & Vai have talent but buckets of pretentious shite with it.
Eddie Van Halen has his moments, but usually drowned in Vodka.
He is a genius though. Self traugh for a start and created a whole new way of tapping.

CN on Delicate Sound can just take me back to a bittersweet time in an instant and I think that's the mark of tru musical beauty.
Look at all the cockshite in the charts today.
Past it's sell by date before it's even put into the CD.

"CN on Delicate Sound can just take me back to a bittersweet time in an instant and I think that's the mark of tru musical beauty."

The long solo at the end of "Another Brick In The Wall Pt2" does the very same thing to me, it's so eloquent, moving and mournful but above all beautiful. I can't think of another player on God's earth who can play with so much soul.

Those guys like Satriani just leave me stone cold, they may be TECHNICALLY great but they know fuck about style and emotion. Their songs are pretty lame too, it may contain amazing guitar wizardry but in the context of a bullshit song...who cares?

Aside from DG give me Jeff Beck, Clapton, Brian May, Mark Knopfler, Steve Rothery, Alex Lifeson, Tony Iommi..true masters.

It's nice to hear from another fan of style over flash!
