    I lost count of the times ive watched Andy Powells band and also Martin Turner's It's such a shame that they had to split in two because Wishbone Ash together in my opinion was one of the most underrated bands on the planet.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🎸😂🇺🇲😆😁🤠😍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    How does one even begin to appreciate Wishbone. Words for once, one finds, are inadequate in this respect. I can't even begin to explain how their music connects one to something both, at once, absolutely personal and emotional on one hand and transcendental on the other. And this just to speak about the experience of their music not to even mention their musical abilities... Will always be grateful to the day when I first came across their music some twenty years ago... And ever since they have been an essential part of my music experience... Thank you Wishbone

    So glad I discovered these guys, awesome band. I found them because I am a huge fan of Iron Maiden and the founder Steve Harris stated that he wanted a band with twin guitars like Wishbone Ash. This song takes me to another place, especially the dual guitar solo at the end of the album version.

    • @PopUpPirate1975
      @PopUpPirate1975 Před 3 lety +3

      I was brought to Wishbone Ash similarly. Look For The Truth off X Factor = Warrior, totally. Throw Down The Sword has bits of Afraid To Shoot Strangers, Hallowed Be Thy Name and others in there. Of course, Wishbone Ash were first, it's just that I heard Maiden before I heard WA :)

    • @asdf9890
      @asdf9890 Před 3 lety +1

      @@PopUpPirate1975 wow, I've never heard "Look for the Truth" because I've blown off those years of Maiden's stuff. I see the similarity in "Warrior" (espicially around the 3:30 mark [on that song not this one]) or just Wishbone Ash's stuff in general.

    Its strange really because although I enjoy some modern music such as Bliss, Within Temptation and more, I still go back to the music of the 70's and the fabulous groups, singers, musicians, songs and genuine skill and craft performed by the likes of Ash, Zep, Purple, Genesis, Yes, Stones, Who, Sabbath, America, BJH, Beatles etc etc the list goes on and on and on. Genuinely fabulous times.

Except after the show they were at the salty dog saloon witch was the coolest rock and roll est. around with nickel pictures and penny beers . Anyway the cops raided the place after hours and busted the band and the bar owners for possession then went to the bands motel room and found more pot . That sucked these guys were way cool people I was at the salty dog also that night but left at closing. The guys were ordered to shave their heads bald and deported from the uns . That’s how fucked up the system was back then . All I have to say is I remember I
