Brian Fowler Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Geoff Nichols, who briefly payed bass for Sabbath in '79 (he wrote the bassline for Heaven & Hell which Geezer "nicked" upon returning to the band) before becoming their keyboardist from then through the 2004 Ozzfest tour died of lung cancer. He played keys on 10 studio albums and 4 live outings for the band, more than anyone except Tony and Geezer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 The man in the shadows. Rest in peace. It's crappy how Geoff was never given a more forefront role like Jon Lord, Ken Hensley, or Don Airey; he might've not been as present as them but still deserved some spotlight. I guess you can chalk it up to how Sabbath wanted to present themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Day officially over. John Wetton has passed away from cancer. Fripp even allowed a song to be on Youtube, amazingly, as seen above. I will resume cursing now so listen to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 OOFTA. I just spent about $50 and I have 11 records coming because of a discount offer from a distro. But that's punk rock for you On the other hand my tax return is gonna be a splurge at least half of yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 It's a hell of a lot cheaper than buying vintage copies of all of them. I didn't find a copy of just Their Satanic Majesties Request on vinyl for less than like $175 for just that album. Plus I'm very big into the mono resurgence of recent years (specifically albums where the mono mix was primary at the time. Releasing a new mono mix of a mid-70's album is just stupid.)

I got my German royalties for my books (close to $900) and two thirds got co-opted by the Mrs for bills. So much for the first edition of Pavane by Keith Roberts that I was planning on... I do have enough left for some tunes, so I'll check my Cramps collection and see if there's anything that needs to be added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 You can totally buy the top 100 on ITunes with enough left over for James Patterson's newest thriller EBook! Then i guess use the remaniing 12 cents to buy a plastic knife to try and end your life with. Your wife will pay off the bills instead of having an ornate funeral ritual. How do you feel about being buried in the desert and chewed on by coyotes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zev Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 They opened with My House and then followed it up with Charley's Girl. The latter had a fleeting moment of popularity when it was used in an episode of Once Upon A Time a couple years ago. http://othersideofthemirror.com/post/32789201928/analyzing-charleys-girlwhat-does-it-mean First VU song didn't hit until 15 minutes into this marathon.

Ryan Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 New At The Drive-In Album May 5th titled In•ter a•li•a. I will sell all of your first-borns to get it, It's been a long damn wait for a proper album. I will also auction Fowler off to any Sabbath fans that want him. Unrelated. If you hate it, I don't care, it's the first I've been this happy for new music in years. If a new Glassjaw album actually comes out I may just sacrifice someone to a pagan god. Not to mention some other stuff I actually am interested in for once coming out. Quote No. Title Length 1. "No Wolf Like the Present" 3:39 2. "Continuum" 4:02 3. "Tilting at the Univendor" 3:26 4. "Governed by Contagions" 3:27 5. "Pendulum in a Peasant Dress" 3:41 6. "Incurably Innocent" 3:26 7. "Call Broken Arrow" 4:11 8. "Holtzclaw" 3:49 9. "Torrentially Cutshaw" 3:12 10.
