Snow storm to start the summer. Would be quite a shock.Although having seen a little of Wimbledon in the last few days I think i'd rather be there than here at the moment.It looked delightful.
Well,as it turns out,a far to quickly decomposing,fear filled,good for pretty much nothing except over consuming consortment of stardust surviving,if not thriving here in this cosmic expanse.Of which I would suggest is pretty much the story of mankind,or animals in general perhaps.Anyway,I can live with that,doesn't bother me in the least.
Streetfighter(The Charles Bronson,James coburn one,As opposed the stupid Van Damme one.) And of course Crossroads,that being the one loosely based on the great slide guitarist Robert Johnson.
Anthrax still the worst concert I ever attended. Are they still the big 4 so to speak,or you just stuck in the eighties. Either way,ride the lightning still stands as one of the great albums of all time(in any genre) and although I agree with some of what you say they where head and shoulders above the rest in their early years.All bands diminish so who cares.
Classical? For his compositions alone I"d say Agustin Barrios Mangore. Some recordings of his playing do exist but there old and crappy and not a reliable source to judge his playing by,however from all reports he was a master.
As for modern players theres heaps but I doubt many,if any actually,are any better than this guy,he plays better than many far better known guitarist.
I don't think 34 years is long enough to spend all the goodies fuelling the modern marvel that is man and he's progress,so I feel the current trajectory will continue and things will be,on average,better in 2050.
