Rock N Roll Birthdays

Happy 74th Birthday to Sir Paul McCartney. He was always my favorite Beatle.

[shunlvswx]

Oops. I did this post twice.

[buffyfan145]

Happy 74th Birthday Paul McCartney!!! :birthday: He's my 2nd favorite Beatle but it's a very close 2nd to George. Just love him and always makes me smile.

[AlreadyGone95]

Happy 74th birthday to Sir Paul McCartney! :birthday:

I'm not a big Eagles fan, but Paul is my favorite. I do love his work with Wings.

[Jonny Come Lately]

I'm not a big Eagles fan, but Paul is my favorite. I do love his work with Wings.

Please say you don't mean the first part! :fainting: I can only hope that what you meant to say was that you weren't a big Beatles fan. :wink:

[Freypower]

I direct you to my avatar. I hope he has a good time! Happy birthday to him!

[LuvTim]

Best wishes, Paul McCartney! :-D

[AlreadyGone95]

Please say you don't mean the first part! :fainting: I can only hope that what you meant to say was that you weren't a big Beatles fan. :wink:

:oops::blush:. I don't know how that happen. I did mean to type Beatles. I can't blame autocorrect either; I typed that post on my computer. I'll just say that my mind was occupied by my online computer lesson that was open on another tab ;).

[Jonny Come Lately]

Heh, it happens - I can think of similar mistakes that I've made before now. I can breathe easy now! :hilarious:

Happy birthday Paul. I'll be honest and say he's not my favourite Beatle (I prefer George and John over him as musicians and songwriters), although he made a huge contribution to the band and even though I'm not as big a Beatles fan as some people I'm very happy to acknowledge that he wrote some of the best melodies of all time and was also a very gifted bassist.

[buffyfan145]

Happy 76th Birthday to Ringo Starr!!! :birthday: Always loved him and of course he's also Joe's brother-in-law. Still can't believe he's 76 as he's looked exactly the same for at least 20 years. LOL I'm also making sure to include the "Peace and Love" hashtag in my Twitter and FB posts like he asked.

[Brooke]

Peace and Love to Ringo on his birthday! :birthday:

[LuvTim]

Aww..lots of love and Happy Birthday wishes to Ringo! I love him so much. Peace and love, Dude. :drummer:

[Jonny Come Lately]

Happy birthday, peace and love Ringo! :birthday:

He's been an influence to so many drummers and it's so cool that Joe and Tim got to play in his All-Starr Band. On a personal level, my introduction to Ringo as a child was not as a musician, but as the storyteller of the original series of Thomas the Tank Engine! His reassuring voice was a perfect fit for the engine stories.

[shunlvswx]

Happy 76th Birthday to Ringo. I didn't get to post my peace and love at noon since I can't get on facebook doing the day.

Peace and love!!

[shunlvswx]

Happy 70th Birthday to the beautiful and talented, Linda Ronstadt. I believe in fate and thank goodness Don and Glenn met and decided to be part of her band. And she giving all of the original members their break and being part of her band.

Happy Birthday, Linda.

[buffyfan145]

Happy Birthday Linda!!! :D I always associate Linda's music with my Mom as my Mom really wanted to go into music so badly when she was a teen (and she has such a great voice too imo) but sadly was talked out of it by my grandparents. Linda was one of the many female artists my Mom still is always playing & singing and I remember being little and her telling me about how she helped form the Eagles so I was impressed. But I love Linda's songs too and her amazing voice. :D

[Brooke]

Happy Birthday, Linda!

Here's a fitting song from her: Desperado

Happy 69th Birthday to one of the best guitarist in the world, Brian May of Queen. HE has such a nice singing voice.

I love his singing voice too! He seems to be a really sweet guy, and so intelligent.

I think my love of Simon and the band's he's been in is well known on this forum. I love almost everything he's done musically. I hope that Simon enjoys his birthday today, and I can't wait to hear his upcoming album, All Because of You!

A video of one of his solo songs:
https://youtu.be/fs5ZdkGxN6M

[NightMistBlue]

He plays guitar very well. Some people are too dang talented.

[AlreadyGone95]

Happy 63rd birthday to Geddy Lee!:birthday: :singer: ( there needs to be a bass Smilie.)

[Jonny Come Lately]

Happy birthday Geddy! :birthday: I only really know a small amount of Rush's catalogue although I like the two albums I have a lot. It amazes me how Geddy can sing while playing complex bass parts and in some cases providing additional synth/keyboard parts. For now we shall have to imagine a bassist smilie, although I'd certainly like to see one if possible (it would be very useful whenever the outro of Outlaw Man comes up!).

[WS82Classics]

70's Pop singer Kent "Lobo" LaVoie turns 73 years old today.

A happy belated birthday to Jethro Tull front-man Ian Anderson, who turned 69 yesterday.

My favourite song of theirs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kelfA6UeZh0

[Jonny Come Lately]

Happy 67th birthday to Mr. Dire Straits, Mark Knopfler! :guitar:

(It is a happy coincidence that the guitar smilie is playing a red guitar, to match Mark's famous red Stratocaster. That will always be his guitar to me)

[LuvTim]

Happy Birthday Mark Knopfler!! :birthday:

Robert Plant, I hope you're having a happy birthday, sir.

[shunlvswx]

Happy 78th Birthday to the guy who discover Don and his band Shiloh, Kenny Rogers.

Thank goodness Kenny agreed to see them at that club because what if he didn't? So many fates that had to come together for Don and Glenn to meet and form the Eagles.

[RudieCantFail]

Happy birthday to Joe Strummer who would've been 64 today. My dad and him share the same birthday, but my dad's a year younger. Happy birthday to my dad too, even though he has nothing to do with rock and roll, other than liking Journey, CCR, Sammy Hagar, and etc.

Happy belated birthdays to Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan and Ginger Baker (19th August) and Robert Plant (20th August)! It's awesome to share my birthday with the first two and also almost share it with Robert!

WS82 has already posted a few videos for Ginger Baker so I'll do one each for Ian and Robert, two of rock's greatest vocalists.

Ian Gillan: Deep Purple - Maybe I'm A Leo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bZ_hMvACYo

(this one has particular meaning for me given that I share his date of birth as well as his star sign! It's funny because quite a lot of great musicians seem to be born in late July and August.)

Robert Plant: Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song (Live)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlNhD0oS5pk

(brilliant live performance of one of my favourite Led Zep songs)

[WS82Classics]

In recognition of Plant's birthday, probably my favourite Zeppelin song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1hnkLU9V5M

A Clash favourite for Strummer's birthday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfK-WX2pa8c

Come on now, that's nowhere near their best song.

That honour has to go to 'You Need Love'. :p :wink:

[shunlvswx]

Happy 70th Birthday to Barry. And its also his 46th Wedding Anniversary to his second wife, Linda.

He was always my favorite Bee Gee. He may have gotten older, but he still looks good. My all time favorite song that Barry sings is Words. I just love that song. You Win Again, To Love Somebody, Fanny Be Tender, From Whom the Bells Toll are my favorite that he shares lead with Robin.

Barry is putting out a new album next month. From what I heard. This is actually second ever solo album.

Happy 70th to Barry.

Words

Happy 70th to Barry & 71st for August 31 to Van Morrison.

I can't wait for Barry's album, In The Now. I love the man.

This should be seen. It rocks.

[Jonny Come Lately]

Happy 73rd birthday to Pink Floyd's songwriter/bassist/singer Roger Waters! :birthday: I'll post a couple of videos to celebrate the birthday of the genius behind several of my all-time favourite albums.

Here's a link to one of my favourite songs from The Wall, In The Flesh?, the opening track. So ya thought ya might like to go to the show...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lTiVgcYA_4

A live performance of another of my favourites. Great intro by Roger too, always makes me laugh:

''This next tune is for all the paranoids in the audience... it's called Run Like Hell.
RUN LIKE HELL! It's called RUN LIKE HELL!''

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kc96Vj2NicE

(My parents actually had tickets to go and see one of the Earls Court The Wall shows, but sadly they couldn't afford to travel to London and had to sell the tickets. At least I can listen to the Is There Anybody Out There? live album)

[shunlvswx]

Happy Belated Birthday to the late Freddie Mercury. He would had turned 70 yesterday if he was still alive.

One of the best voices in rock history. He was gone too soon.

[Delilah]

Happy belated birthday to rock and roll photog Henry Diltz, who turned 78 yesterday. Many borderers probably know this, but I just learned he was a folk musician in the 60s.

[LuvTim]

Happy belated birthday, Henry Diltz! 8)

[LuvTim]

Roger Waters. Cool beans. And I hope your birthday was beautiful, man.

I love you and Pink Floyd. :bow:

[NightMistBlue]

Oh my goodness, I can't believe Henry Diltz is 78. His mind is as sharp as a ... very sharp pointy thing. His memory is phenomenal.

[shunlvswx]

Happy 67th Birthday to Mr. Lindsey Buckingham. One of the best guitarist in the world.

Also Happy 65th Belated Birthday to Sting. His birthday was yesterday. Sting never looked his age. He looks great. I'm soo glad he got rid of that beard. Yikes!!

[Jonny Come Lately]

Happy 67th birthday to Lindsey! :birthday: :rockguitar:

[buffyfan145]

Happy 67th to Lindsey and 65th to Sting!!! :birthday:

Shun, I'm also happy Sting got rid of the beard too. LOL

[Freypower]

Also happy birthday to Mike Rutherford! (October 2).

[sodascouts]

Happy birthday to Lindsey (and the other guys too lol).

[RudieCantFail]

Ooh, I didn't know it was Mike Rutherford's birthday yesterday. Thanks for the heads up, FP! The first song that I recognized from him other than what he did for Genesis was probably "Heartbeat" by Red 7 that was featured at the very end of Manhunter. I fell asleep while watching it, but I woke up in time to hear In-a-Gadda-da-Vida and Heartbeat almost right after.

Happy birthday to Lindsey Buckingham! My favorite solo album of his is Out of the Cradle, but I haven't given Gift of Screws and Seeds We Sow a listen yet. Under the Skin would come in 2nd because I really like a few of the songs on it, especially Cast Away Dreams, which is my favorite on that. It's hard for me to make it through Law and Order and Go Insane though. Also, Law and Order and Under the Skin were released today in 1981 and 2006, respectively.

ETA: I gave Law and Order a listen again, and there are three songs that bother me in it. That's probably why it can be hard to get through it at times for me. The 3 songs are: September Song, That's How We DO It in L.A., and Johnny Stew. The 1st half of the album is fine, but the 2nd half gets into shaky territory beginning at track 6, September Song.

[sodascouts]

Have to agree with you on Law and Order, especially the latter two songs you listed. Not my fave at all.

But I digress! We should take this to the Lindsey thread. ;)

[WS82Classics]

[shunlvswx]

OH. Also happy birthday to John Entwistle of the Who. He would had been 72 years old if he was still alive.

[WS82Classics]

Since I will not be on here three days from now, I would like to wish Moody Blues frontman Justin Hayward an early happy 70th birthday!

Ooops forgot someone
Yesterday was Daryl Hall's 70th birthday!!!
Really love his show Live at Daryl's House

[shunlvswx]

I forgot to post Daryl's birthday yesterday.

Happy 70th Birthday to Daryl Hall. I can't believe he's 70. He doesn't really look his age.

[Jonny Come Lately]

Here's to a very happy 66th birthday to Tom Petty! :birthday:

[buffyfan145]

Happy Birthday Tom Petty!!! :D

Can't believe Daryl Hall is 70 either, wow.

[Delilah]

Happy 80th(!) birthday to Bill Wyman, the "quiet" Stone. He released a solo album last year and opened a new restaurant -Sticky Fingers- so he's still going strong!

[NightMistBlue]

Can't believe Daryl Hall is 70 either, wow.

Isn't it slightly weird that Daryl Hall and Justin Hayward are the same age?

I know Justin started very young; I believe he was only 18 when he joined the Moodies. And crikey, imagine writing not one but two timeless classics by the time you're 20 - Nights in White Satin & Tuesday Afternoon.

Some people are so talented it makes my teeth ache.

[shunlvswx]

He's not rock and roll, but happy birthday to country singer Keith Urban. I love his music. I saw him in concert in 2000 I think and he was very unknown at that time and Nothing But the Grace of God had just came out or doing good on the charts. Nicole is soo lucky.

[Brooke]

Love Keith! Happy Birthday to him!

I saw him a several years ago too and it was amazing! I was so close to the runway I could touch him! Carrie Underwood was with him. But For the Grace of God is my favorite song of his.

[Delilah]

Happy belated birthday to Keith Urban! Brooke, you're so lucky you got to see him up close. I saw him perform a few years ago but we were a good distance away. It was a great show but I was bummed he didn't sing my favorite, Making Memories of Us.

[AlreadyGone95]

Happy 53rd birthday ro Def Leppard's drummer, Rick Allen. :birthday::drummer:

[shunlvswx]

Also happy 77th Birthday to Tina Turner. That woman never ages.

[Jonny Come Lately]

Happy birthday to John McVie! :birthday:

As an aside, has anyone ever noticed how many bassists are called John? I can think of several of the top of my head:

John McVie - Fleetwood Mac
John Paul Jones - Led Zeppelin
John Entwistle - The Who
John Deacon - Queen
John Illsley - Dire Straits

[shunlvswx]

Happy Birthday to the late Robin and Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees. They would had been 67 today if they were alive.

Even though Barry is my favorite, I always loved Robin angelic voice.

[NightMistBlue]

Ohh, that's sad. And yesterday would have been the angel-voiced Carl Wilson's 70th birthday.

[shunlvswx]

Happy Birthday to David Bowie. He would had turned the big 7-0 today if he was still alive.

Also happy 82nd Birthday to Elvis!!

[NightMistBlue]

Happy 73rd birthday to James Patrick Page, aka The Dark Lord, founder/genius/guitar meistro/producer extraordinaire of Led Zeppelin. A talented bloke.

Also happy belated birthday to the late Robert Palmer(yesterday). He would had been 68 yesterday.

[Jonny Come Lately]

Very happy, very belated birthday wishes to Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason (73 - I think - on 27th January) and also to Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones (71on 3rd January).

I'm sure there's someone I'm forgetting now... think he was in the same band as one of the above two... just trying remember...


Happy 73rd birthday to James Patrick Page, aka The Dark Lord, founder/genius/guitar meistro/producer extraordinaire of Led Zeppelin. A talented bloke.

Yep! Him! :birthday: :guitar:

[NightMistBlue]

Hello Jonny! Hope you're doing well, young man.

[Freypower]

I should wish a belated happy 66th birthday to the great Phil Collins for January 30.

[Jonny Come Lately]

I'm doing good NMB - thanks for asking. Funnily enough I was reminded of you yesterday. One of my Christmas presents along with the HOTE DVD was the Led Zeppelin Celebration Day CD/DVD combo set - I was listening to the album on the train yesterday. I seem to remember you saying you were there on the night? Good times (not bad times)! :rockguitar:

[shunlvswx]

Happy 55th Birthday to Axl Rose and happy 72nd birthday to the late Bob Marley.

[NightMistBlue]

I seem to remember you saying you were there on the night? Good times (not bad times)! :rockguitar:

I was indeed there to witness the glory. I have the DVD as well, but I haven't watched it or even taken the cellophane off the package. It's like I don't want my memory of the momentous night to be changed.

[Delilah]

Happy belated birthday to Axl Rose! (thanks for the reminder, Shun).

[shunlvswx]

Happy 66th Birthday to Peter Gabriel.

[Freypower]

Happy 66th Birthday to Peter Gabriel.

Yes, and happy birthday to Steve Hackett for the 12th. Also, Peter is 67. He was born in 1950 (as was Steve).

[shunlvswx]

OOps. Thanks, FP. You're right. I don't know where I got 66 from.

[shunlvswx]

Happy Belated Birthday to Dennis DeYoung formerly of Styx. He turned the big 7-0 yesterday.

I have to say. I probably wouldn't see Styx today. Journey either without their former lead singers. I don't know. I liked Tommy Shaw too. SO I guess I would go to see them.

[thelastresort]

Happy 69th birthday for yesterday to the one and only Mr. Tony Iommi. Still thankfully with us after a few scares over the past few years and one of my favourite musicians ever. Keep rocking sir. It was an honour to see you play live earlier this month. :bow: :headbang:

[shunlvswx]

Happy Birthday to Smokey Robinson. He turns 77 today.

Despite some stiff competition, he's still my favourite guitarist of all time. Thanks for all the great music! :cheers:

[NightMistBlue]

Happy birthday blessings to Randall Herman Meisner, the greatest Nebraska export ever. Bass meistro, wonderful lead singer and harmonizer, soulful songwriter and kind-hearted human being. Randy, I salute you!

Happy 67th birthday to Tony Banks (March 27).

[Dawn]

Happy Birthday to the late Robin and Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees. They would had been 67 today if they were alive.

Even though Barry is my favorite, I always loved Robin angelic voice.

Losing Maurice broke my heart then with the death of Robin, another heartbreaking goodbye. Super talented and lovely guys gone much too soon.

[Dawn]

Isn't it slightly weird that Daryl Hall and Justin Hayward are the same age?

I know Justin started very young; I believe he was only 18 when he joined the Moodies. And crikey, imagine writing not one but two timeless classics by the time you're 20 - Nights in White Satin & Tuesday Afternoon.

Some people are so talented it makes my teeth ache.

Happy BDay! I saw The Moody Blues several years ago and was mesmerized. Justin's performance blew me away. Such a beautiful voice and flawless vocals. All time favorite band and performer. And yes, he was as handsome as ever, lol.

[Delilah]

Happy 60th Birthday to Vince Gill, a friend to the Eagles!!

[shunlvswx]

Happy 60th to Vince. I've been following his music since 1994 and I saw him in concert for the first and only time in 2004. He a great singer. A great songwriter and plays a mean guitar. The best in country music.

Everybody loved to sing with Vince. He blends so well with everybody.

Unhappy birthday to Steven Patrick Morrissey, known by his last name, who turns 58 today (making me feel pretty darn old).

A few years ago, the BBC were planning/threatening to do a movie about his life called "Steven." I guess that fell through.

Happy 77th birthday Ringo! :birthday: :drummer:

On a personal level, I must admit I associate his voice not just with The Beatles, but with his narration of the original series of Thomas the Tank Engine!

Whenever I hear him speak on documentaries or things like that I still half expect him to say 'you're a very naughty engine' or 'the passengers were saying what a bad railway it was'! :hilarious:

Happy belated birthday to a living legend. Peace and love, Ringo!

Happy Birthday to Justin Hayward of The Moody Blues! :birthday:

Justin is my favourite singer and songwriter, and I think he’s a great and underrated guitarist.

Here’s “Nights in White Satin” from the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970:

I will be entirely honest here and say I have never knowingly listened to The Moody Blues, however yesterday I passed the exact site where the Isle of Wight Festival was held in 1970, and was thinking how amazing it would have been to see the likes of Hendrix and The Doors playing in that very field!

Happy birthday Justin!

I love The Moody Blues. I think their sound is unique, and their songs have great melodies and beautiful lyrics.

As for the Isle of Wight Festival, here are a couple of quotes from Justin:


It was a difficult day. Anybody who said it was peace, love and good vibes is clearly lying. The fences came down, the security disappeared. It was kind of dangerous. There were a lot of bad drugs going around. But fortunately, we had just had a song called “Question” and it got to number one in the UK charts and the audience was ready for us. There were a lot of people, artists, that took it all in the wrong kind of spirit and got a little bit aggressive but I think the whole crowd, 400,000 or something people, were kind of relieved when we came on because they thought, “Ah, it’s the Moodies and they’re going to play ‘Question’.” And suddenly everybody felt safer and more secure. It was a good night for us. It wasn’t so much for the rest of the artists. But I think that was the end of an era as well. That was the end of that great festival era.

[The Isle of Wight] wasn’t a very pleasant festival. People talk about it now as if it was all love and good vibes. That’s absolutely not true. It was almost the opposite – it was violent, difficult, and unpleasant.
Nobody was getting paid. And I remember Free really getting angry with the promoter, just taking their money from him and (laughs) holding him up against the wall. It was very difficult. I think that some of the Americans artist might have been paid beforehand, but none of the rest of us got paid.

The fence came down, and it turned into a free concert – which just meant it was chaos. Any security disappeared – and anyone official disappeared. It was just a free-for-all.

You're missing out, guv'nor! Surely you know "Nights in White Satin"? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9muzyOd4Lh8

My personal favorite is "Tuesday Afternoon," it's just perfect and beautiful. To think, Justin was very young when he wrote these epic songs. These timeless melodies just landed on his pretty head. I think he was only 18 when "Nights" came to him.

FP - Have a great time.
I love the song NIWS. Crazy about that festival. I had always thought it was all peace and love like Woodstock.
