@music_ripple Tell me the story again about your Saturday nights with friends on Wales. Gathering around the lamppost because it was the only light in town. "White Line Fever" great biography z read it people.

Today’s question. If you could have a 10-minute conversation with your Lemmy, what would you ask him first? What and why?

@music_ripple Fantastic, the live counterpart With Friends live a St. David's has the Estonia story preceding the song. Something to hear, bonechilling.

Meanwhile at the ripple effect. Swedebeast reviews Marillion - With Friends From The Orchestra ripplemusic.blogspot.com/2026/05/marill…

@music_ripple Kiss, Kiss and let's see....Kiss. Scrapbooks, posters, LPs, t-shirts, anything I could get my hands on, The only other thing I had was one half of a sandwich board advertising a Golden Earring concert close by. Nicked it off a lamppost with a friend, one half each.

I’ll be the first to admit it. As a young one (until about 14) my walls were covered with KISS posters (and one lone Aerosmith poster). So today’s question. What poster did you have hanging up on your wall as a kid or teenager? Which one and why?

@turbokya @music_ripple I was toying with the idea to nominate Jailbreak here. The moment Bon growls "with a bullet in his back", fantastic.

@music_ripple AC/DC - Shoot To Thrill

I love it when the song is chugging then boom, it drops out, maybe a massive drum fill, a bass run or acoustic strum before kicking off again. So today’s question. What’s your favorite mid-song breakdown? Which one and why?

@TheRecidivists @music_ripple @turbokya That bassline is a contender for grooviest ever.

@music_ripple @turbokya How Many More Times. Bonham's drums, then that dirty, dirty riff kicking in.

@music_ripple Yes, well the obvious one for me is Won't Get Fooled Again. Try counting out what Moon actually did there, unreal! youtu.be/_NzLs-xSss0?si…

@turbokya @music_ripple Rainbow's All Night Long was a single over here, reached the top 10.

@music_ripple Not sure if they are considered deep cuts but pretty sure most people haven't listened to them Rainbow - All Night Long Deep Purple - King of Dreams Montrose - Matriarch Ratt - The Morning After

Today’s question. What's a deep cut — not the hits — from your favourite artist that more people need to hear? Which one and why?

@music_ripple Oh... Well let's see: Kiss - Not for the Innocent Whitesnake - Medicine Man Motörhead - Metropolis Golden Earring - the Vanilla Queen Riot - Road Racin' Plenty more of course, that is why we invented mixtapes. Sorry, playlists.. showing my age there...

@music_ripple I feel Queensryche never got over Chris deGarmo leaving. In fact, I am sure of it.

Today’s question. Flipside of yesterday. Hats a band you lost interest in once they changed a band member? Which one and why?

@TheGunblazer @music_ripple Mixed feelings here. Loved Paul, still do. Bruce is fantastic, agreed. But those first 2 albums are something else.

Today’s question. Which band really clicked for you once they changed a band member? Which one and why?

@music_ripple Marillion. When Fish (singer) left and H (Steve Hogarth) joined it was like they suddenly grew up. Loved them ever since. The fantastic Ocean Cloud for instance. Just gorgeous. youtu.be/nNe6jGED4_Y?is…

@music_ripple John Bonham, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Robert Plant You will feel the mountain shake when you approach it, Bonhams Hammer of the Gods sound, and then the Immigrant Song makes your ear drums explode. youtu.be/RlNhD0oS5pk?is…

Todays question. Who you putting on your own Mt Rushmore of favorites? Which ones and why?

@music_ripple They probably had more than one song, but this is the only one I really remember. And I like it as well. youtu.be/9SCzVEUlqqA?si…

I got a few in mind,so let’s hear yours? What’s a great one-hit wonder? Which one and why?

@music_ripple For some reason every time I move Arjen Lucassen's Star One project releases an album. So moving to me is tied to exactly that, let's do some Intergalactic Moving then, shall we? youtu.be/-QCK0H2adrc?si…

Time to hit the road. POD stuffed to the gills (100 boxes of records) and RV loaded. Send me your best song for today. Which one and why?

@music_ripple Ulver, from Black Metal to electronic, ambient, experimental. One of the greatest bands of this time really. youtu.be/a8QwxdF_oMQ?is…

Sometimes a band’s music changes so much that it’s unrecognizable from their earlier material. Not necessarily worse, just different- like almost a different band. Favorite band who radically changed their music and which version do you prefer? Which one and why?

@music_ripple Moving house, no fun at all. What did Gabriel have to say about that? youtu.be/2js9Z6rtENA?is…

A good part of moving is throwing out tons (and Tons) of crap. Some you haven’t seen in years. So give me a song to help with the cleansing purge. Which one and why?

@music_ripple I'll do the small stuff while Mastodon does: youtu.be/j9QwaWXsbkU?is…

Moving sucks!! Spent 8 hours yesterday just packing albums! So help a guy out. Favorite song to help a move? Which one and why?

@music_ripple Malcolm Young is the very defenition of this.

Most bands have a “secret weapon,”not a star but without whom the band wouldn’t be. While Michael Stipe and Peter Buck of REM shine, without the harmony vocal and counter-melody bass of Michel Mills, their songs wouldn’t soar. Who’s your favorite secret weapon? Which one and why?

@Macromondo The bakery look helps with insulation as well.

Shopping for new window treatments and I can’t decide between Rural Meth Lab by Reynolds or 70s Burnt-out Ghetto. Both have their appeal…

@music_ripple Three days in the life of... youtu.be/0Wy8em8OySI?is…

Today’s question. Artists live to sing about their own lives. What’s your favorite song about an artist singing about being a rock star/life on the road? Which one and why?
