Last night while at the pub on a marathon sesh, got chatting a very good (non-scene) mate who made the following observation based on our differing musical tastes:

" Look Hammy, you can say all you want about your Butch's, Guy Hennigans, Keb Darge etc etc but at the end of the day none are as cool as Jimmy Page, for example. The northern scene has a absence of genuinely charismatic idols. "

Discuss.

Hammy

Not being glib here but surely ? 

lead guitar - solos

rhythm guitar - riffs

Listen to it again - there's a solo in it that's pure Page.

Hammy

I know what a riff is. Just thought Pete Townshend was a pretty good guitarist and they wouldn't have needed Jimmy Page. However it was early and you are infact correct about that.

Sorry but that was a disgraceful way to decide a cup final and Arsenal deserved nothing after that display...they were awful.  And I was supporting them as well.

Yeah the fact we played poorly and still won made the victory all the sweeter and seeing that little shit Ronaldo in tears

I knew an old mate who valued his Soul record collection so much that he put them on a pedestal - just to keep them away from the kids!
