Well I’m sure with the passing of Halloween this forum thread will come to a quick end but it’s been fun and maybe we can add to it next year. I know there is a lot more great spooky, eerie songs we haven’t recovered yet. Here’s a final one from me from my favorite band of all time (sorry Beatles fans), but the Twins are giving them a run for their money and actually have recorded more albums. But I have listened to CCR for 50+ years on vinyl, 8 track, cassette and cd and never get tired of their music. This is a great live video from their 1970 performance at Royal Albert Hall that got turned into their only live album.

Here’s another detective show where the theme song got turned into a hit record. The Rockford Files starring James Garner.

Great topic Jacki, I’ll share some of my favorites. This one was made into a hit record that got a lot of air play in the States. My brother’s band use to play it at their gigs. One of my favorite detective shows called Simon and Simon.

Yikes, that doesn’t sound like fun. We got about 1′ today but all melted off by this afternoon. Crazy it was 70 degrees last week and right now I have 24 F. Stay safe and warm Mike.

Here’s one from back before my time. Maybe the first shock rocker. What a great showman, it would have been fun to see him back in the day.

Happy Halloween Jacki, I dressed up Friday and went out to see a band. Here’s what I looked like, even had a MLT hat.

I don’t remember Angie at all, I do remember WKRP in Cincinnati was a good comedy and the theme song got some airplay. I thought the closing theme was better but it meant the show was over.

Jurgen, yeah I remember all those shows. Seems like every night there was a different detective show on. Miami Vice had some great music and some great scenery. I still watch a few on METV like Mannix, Cannon and Magnum P.I.

Man I love this bluesy stuff, John Belushi sure was a talented guy. I like the scene where they played the gig at the country bar and played Stand By Your Man and the Rawhide theme, Lol. This one reminded me of another good movie with a great sound track that really launched the career of Jeff Healey, another great one gone to soon.

Daryl, I’m not a guitar guy at all and really don’t know much about them but I grew up with a few guitar playing brothers and can identify a lot of the popular brands and some models. I have a couple cheap acoustic guitars, a Yamaha and Oscar Schmidt and an old cheap Kay electric 6 string I mess around with. I do like listening to the pros talk about their guitars and different gear and how they use them. I would love to see Lisa and Mona do a rundown on all the beautiful guitars and other instruments they have and why they use them for certain songs.

Jurgen, My introduction to James Bond was Live and Let Die. I remember seeing it at our local drive in movie theatre which was only about one half mile away from our house if you took the trail through the woods and around the swamp. I’ve like the Bond movies ever since. It was a great movie with a great soundtrack and of course the title track written and performed by Paul McCartney.

Jurgen and David, I n my profile I listed American Graffiti as my favorite movie and mainly because of the soundtrack. The movie was about recently graduated teenagers enjoying their last summer days together and contemplating their futures apart from each other. Basically facing the bridge between youth and adulthood. Ronnie Howard, Richard Dreyfus and Cindy Williams were the known stars with pre stardom roles for Harrison Ford, Suzanne Somers and McKenzie Phillips.
It was made by George Lucas and was his successful attempt at making enough money to work on his dream project of making Star Wars. I loved all the music and especially like how it was formatted to the movie. All the kids that were cruising the streets and hanging out at the local drive in restaraunt were listening to the same radio program hosted by the legendary Wolfman Jack who also appears in the movie when Dreyfus attempts to get a note read on the airwaves to the blonde in the white T-Bird (Suzanne Somers).
Anyway, it’s my favorite movie and favorite soundtrack and hears a video and tune I found that really gives the feel of the movie. Funny, it’s even an MLT cover, those girls know what’s good.

Daryl, Have you ever watched any of these Big Rundown videos. They usually run through all the equipment the bands use on their tours. I’ve watched the one on Alice Cooper’s guitar players including Nita Strauss. Even a non-guitar guy like me finds them interesting. This is one with only Nita talking about her signature model Ibanez (the one my nephew has). It really has a great sound, perfect for A.C.’s music. She seems like a very intelligent woman and an awesome guitar player.

Hi Daryl, I still like Halloween and seeing all the costumes and decorations but it seemed a lot more fun when I was a kid. Seemed to be a lot more trickery back then, soaping windows, toilet papering the trees and such. Many of the treats we got were homemade cookies or cupcakes or apples. Most of the costumes were homemade too. Just seemed a lot more wholesome than today.
I’ve loved Alice Cooper since the 70’s. So glad he defeated his demons and continues to play shows and make good music. I used to listen to his radio show every night when I was working and loved listening to his stories. He is quite the musical historian and obtained most of his knowledge first hand. I love Nita Strauss too. I have a nephew who is obsessed with her and has seen her on several occasions. He bought a brand new Nita Strauss custom Ibanez and took it backstage and had it autographed. Anyway, don’t scare the kiddos too bad, Happy Halloween.
