Guitar Heroes at the BBC

[Pothole]

on BBC4 right now

[Kinky]

Phil Lynott - god bless him

[Pothole]

scary likeness to Craaaaaiiig Daaaaavid, though!

[Kinky]

Like Little Feat and Magic Numbers?

[Pothole]

not a big fan of Little Feat, I love Willin' but the rest of the stuff doesn't appeal really...maybe it's erring on the funky side a bit too much for me..saw them a few years ago in Scotland and left before the end of their set.

[Kinky]

Aha - our first REAL guitar hero

[Pothole]

so annoying how many of these guys play far too fast live...

[Kinky]

Blimey - of all the bands - only Santana is alive today

[Kinky]

And now my #1 favourite song of all time

[kiteless]

'kin hell.

How young does Knopfler look And I still consider Sultans of Swing to be a guitar "standard" (even though parts of the solo still get me fingers in a twist )

Guitar Heroes II is currently on. Great tunes, but the thing that really sticks out for me is how great the video quality is! Many of these are from Whistle Test circa 1972 or so (only 6 years after colour transmissions started!) but the colour is true and well saturated, noise is minimal and it is as crisp as a freshly starched matron. It makes me wonder what technology was faffing around at for 35 years before HD cameras arrived!
