Check out Sandi Thom’s version of #GunsNRoses November Rain @Sandi_Thom. We love it! What’s your fave rock cover version?

Hello there!

As mentioned during a show a few weeks ago, I’ve really enjoyed listening to Sandi Thom’s version of a Guns ‘N’ Roses classic, taken from her album called ‘The Covers Collection’. It’s an album crammed full of her interpretations of some of the greatest rock classics; including Heart’s ‘Alone’, ‘Times Like These’ by the Foo Fighters, ‘Black Velvet’ by Alannah Myles, Aerosmith’s ‘Dream On’ and Led Zeppelin’s ‘The Rain Song’, to name but a few.

This got me thinking; it’s been a good while since I put together a Classic Rock Show ‘Cover Versions’ Special. When these have been aired these in the past, a good few surprises have been heard amongst those that are perhaps more familiar to our ears. Each show has always gone down a storm.

I’m putting on another of those ‘Covers’ show for you on Thursday, February 13th at 7pm.

So, tell me, what are your fave rock cover versions? Add them to the comment box below and if I’ve got the track available, it’ll be put in the pot for Thursday’s show.

Cheers!

PS: Sandi Thom begins her 2014 World Tour in April. For more information, click here. I’ll be interviewing Sandi ahead of the tour – more details on that next month.

Here’s what John McCoy played on The Classic Rock Show last Thursday night!

Hello!

First off, John McCoy and I would like to thank each and every one of you for tuning in last week. The feedback received during and after the show was quite unprecedented. We really appreciated it.

Here’s the playlist.

Some of the stories that John recounted gave us all a real insight into the music scene, the personalities and what was going on in the bands at the time. Great stuff.

It’s been suggested by a number of people that we do it again sometime. It’s something we would consider, but what do you think?

Once again, thanks for making it such an enjoyable night.

Cheers!

This week’s ‘Request-line’ is now OPEN!! #classicrock

Hello rockers!

The quality of requests received lately is just fantastic…just keep ’em coming, as it’s now time we opened up this week’s ‘Request-line’!

Either tweet them @ClassicRockShow, post them up on our Facebook Group pinned ‘Request-line’ post or reply to this post directly on our website. Whichever way you want to do it, we just love to hear what you’d like played.

Here we have last Thursday’s playlist for you to peruse.

Plenty of variety and great selections from the listener ‘Request-line’, covering five decades of rock in all. Now that can’t be bad!

We also included some new music from the likes of Sandi Thom, Toby Jepson, Skindred and The Brew. You get the feeling that the future of rock music is secured for decades to come when you hear what’s being produced these days.

We’re back with another show on Thursday, 23rd January at 7pm.

So get busy and send those requests in for this week!!

Cheers

NEWS: On tonight’s Classic Rock Show from 7pm…

I’m very much looking forward to tonight’s show as it’s been a couple of weeks since I last sat in the studio.

I mentioned yesterday that we would be playing some new music for you. In addition this, we have music released in the past 12 months from the New Generation Superstars, Fighting Wolves, Black Star Riders, W.E.T. and the Von Hertzen Brothers.

Of course, this show isn’t called ‘The Classic Rock Show’ for nothing. We’ve lined up some prime cuts by Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest, Aerosmith, Diamond Head, Metallica, Sepultura, Van Halen, Joan Jett, UFO, Rainbow, Y&T, Scorpions and….well, a lot more besides.

In our second post yesterday, we announced that Mr John McCoy would be joining me in the studio on Thursday, 30th January. More on that during tonight’s show, but we will play a track from one of those powerhouse trios he has worked with, Mammoth.

Make sure you catch the start of the show at 7pm [‘Listen Link’ can be found on our website] as it’ll be one of those nose-to-tail, good-time rock ‘n’ roll shows we like to give you every week!!

Cheers

MJx
