Yes he seemed to come across as a nice bloke in interviews. Love their music with a soft spot for the 1982-1992 eta of albums. This new one and the one previous, the Monster Roars, are well worth a listen.Didn’t know Clarkin had died. I was watching a few interviews of his over Christmas, seemed a nice guy.
Really liked a lot of their earlier stuff but not heard a lot of their later offerings.
Sacred Hour, Two Hearts, Just Like An Arrow, Changes… I feel a guitar session coming on
I was never really a fan of this stuff back then. I much preferred the subtle tones of Motörhead or Iron Maiden at the time but quite like some of it now and often find myself with the odd tune on the playlist, Reo more often than not.
A best of Survivor, a band along with REO Speedwagon, Toto, Night Ranger, Foreigner et al were my regular plays when at school & poly in the 80s
Seen Hawkwind twice. Keele Uni back in the late 80s when they were supported by the Ozric Tentacles I think? Then many years later in London. Not a big fan but worth seeing live at least once.I was never really a fan of this stuff back then.

I revisited Hawkwinds Levitation album last night. Some serious drum work by Ginger Baker there for sure. They’re probably my second most seen live band. Levellers come top of the live show count but I’ve not been to a gig for ages. Can’t stand up for that long now
but here's a bit of my "music zone" in the lounge
That looks really good, I’m banished to the back room upstairs. Then again there’s four guitars and three amps up there so I can see her pointProbably of no interest at all

I can't tell you how many years it's taken for the Mrs to allow this to happen
It is a good streaming service. Aimed at HiFi buffs and music fans as there are no videos or podcasts. I am no HiFi buff but love the sound and the off the wall playlists they create.I didn’t know QObuz existed… I shall be investigating further
