Spyke

In memoriam...

The famous guitar riff for Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child o' Mine" originated from a "circus melody" warm-up played by guitarist Slash during a 1986 jam session.
While Slash played the riff in a joking manner, bandmate Izzy Stradlin recognized its potential, and the band built the song around it.

Very important info for eg women in violent relationships who maintain a secret phone. Please pass along.

People who hold their phone in front of them and shout at it like the fools on The Apprentice do should have to pay a hefty public disturbance fine. Just use it like a fucking phone and hold it to your ear, you stupid pricks.

Combing donkeys is illegal.
Sorry, I don’t rake the mules.

I'm a solicitor. Too many people make the mistake of not recording anything during redundancy procedures. Many redundancies do not follow the correct legal procedures, but unless you're recording everything you have no way to prove it in a tribunal. HR are not your friends.

One of the few decent photos I’ve took at a gig. Local newspaper used it too!

A visual tribute to Jim Lovell, who passed away Thursday.
Inducted into NASA as part of the "New Nine" in Sept 1962, of which there are sadly no more. He flew Gemini VII and XII, Apollo 8, and as seen here as Commander of the ill-fated Apollo 13. 1/6

Over 100 hundred years old & still relevant.

I'm sad to say that since leaving Twitter/X my sales for live shows have dropped quite a lot - it turns out that even though it's a dreadful place it was still useful for getting the word out about events. So any shares / RTs of my posts about live shows are hugely appreciated!

#Cassunday just noticed it’s the anniversary of this 3/8/87!

Sooner, rather than later, all information on line will be do tainted that the world will return to books for the truth.
