OT: Music 6

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

I’ll never forget the day I heard SRV died, I was such a huge fan of his back then, was just gutted. Saddens me to this day. It was particularly heartbreaking considering he seemed to have finally beat his addictions demons and had just released In Step, which I think took him to a new level. His playing and his voice on that album had such clarity. He left just as he was about to reach his greatest heights. What could have been. :(

My favourite Canadian Blues Band and an inspiration for the Blues Brothers. Ackroyd was a huge fan of Donnie Walsh and even had him as a music consultant for the movie. The influence from Everyday I have the blues is unmistakable.

Probably the highlight of my music career was Donnie Walsh getting onstage with my band at the Windsor Hotel years ago after the Junos. I’ll never forget it, such a huge fan.







Have to post some of their stuff with Tony Flaim another time. Great singer as well. Amazing how long that band endured.

F*** vegas

And tonight, our wishes were granted. To commemorate, here's some Crash Vegas. They were one of two bands I saw play the Tower Lounge at Red River College when I was a student there that I thought were destined for greatness. The other band? The Tragically Hip. Hey, batting .500 gets you into the Hall of Fame, right? :nod:



Before Crash Vegas, Michelle McAdorey was in a short lived band known as Corect Spelling (not a typo), Cold Fish or Sushi depending on what part of the world you lived in. But in that brief existence, they did put out one single I just loved. Perhaps the title was prophetic.



And it was produced by the brilliant Midge Ure of Ultravox. So let us sing a Hymn in praise of Les Habitants for doing what the former team from Quebec couldn't do in the previous round. :vhappy:
