Maxwell's Silver Hammer. 3 of the best songs by each of the 3 main Beatles. WTF? I don't want to sound like a dick, but Maxwell's Silver Hammer? By nobody's standards could that ever be called a Beatles classic. I'd rate it amongst the very worst of what that band did, alongside OblaDi Oblada, Revolution 9 and Octopus's Garden.

stuartbert two hats Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 I'd like to include Diamond Dogs, but treating Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing(reprise) as a single song really seems to be pushing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much so in fact that I'm going to add Death on 2 legs (dedicated to......) Lazing on a Sunday afternoon I'm in Love with My car To the thread title. the piano/guitar intro to death on 2 legs is sublime. The first 30 seconds or so of Death on 2 Legs - the fade in piano and then that riff, is probably my favourite opening of any album. Shame the rest of the song sn't quite as good! Great album though.

One section of the album that has always amazed me is the finale of 'Good Company'. Getting this section to sound like a trad-jazz band apparently nearly sent Brian May over the edge, where he seems to be teetering now.

chatty Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 3 hours ago, Scruffylovemonster said: Probably the three weakest songs on the album for me. Side two is much much better. Walk of life can get ta fuck! It's like twisting by the pool. Knopfler at his absolute worst! Probably three of the biggest hits they ever had though. There all good tunes tbf, WOL is cheesy as hell but a bit cheese isnt too bad every now and again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean Mike Patton tripped you up?? How did this occur??? Yes. Was at the Garage in Glasgow and as I went to bar after support and passed couple of guys leaning on railing at front of stage I had a tumble after tripping over stray foot. Turned round to a "Hey,sorry man" from Mr Patton himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
