I saw Australian band, Men at Work live in Sydney in 1983.
Many years later they were sued for copying the flute riff in “Down under” from a children’s song.
This had a devastating effect on them, and many say it caused the early death of flute player, Greg Ham
Thanks Robowski for this info…! I hadn’t heard this story before. Found a comparison with children’s song:
Still, I’d never heard this nice song if Men at Work had not performed it.
One more time Sir Bryan Ferry with Roxy Music: Roxy Music - Love Is The Drug
Who cares, some of their early hits: Roxy Music - Virginia Plain - Top Of The Pops - 24th August 1972
I checked on random sites for “top 100 hard rock songs” and more than 70% (approximately) of the songs are over 40 years old. If you add the next 10 years, you will reach almost 100 percent.
sparkyDK, вecause, you have a good sense of music according to my understanding, you should know that.
I’m back on the forum after a long break…
With reference to Bon Scott, I live about 10km from the port of Fremantle, Western Australia where Bon grew up.
In honour of him they commissioned a statue of him in the harbour. We often went there for fish and chips but that all ended with the virus scare. I used to work with an old guy who was one of the top drummers in the local 60’s bands. He knew Bon well and used to give him drumming lessons.
