The Guzzi was just putting Bruce in his place and showing him his steed was indeed "the boss".

When I was a very new motorcyclist and still at school my neighbour who got me hooked on bikes had an alcoholic mate who had a 500 Ariel with a Vincent front end on it. He affectionately called it "The Vinariel"

Then of course, there is the famous "VINCATI" by Big Sid and his son Matthew.

I wasn't a huge fan, either, but he had 7 songs off one album in the top ten. Pretty hard to duplicate that. He wrote some famous stuff for others, too.

I mostly just stream fm103.3 outa Springfield mo any more. It’s blues 24-7 no commercials at all. The dude transmits from his basement. Pretty hard to beat. But l will have the regular selection on the iPod too. I think I have the boz on there. Rod always has his jukebox too and John L always has some sweet rock and roll too. I’ll have to have some blues to cook hush puppies to

Agreed. And yet we have a dear friend whose eyes seem to roll back in her head; she gets quiet and sorta bunched up. Is the Boss ravaging that sweet girl via the ether waves? Dare I ask? No! R3~

Thank you .... a very average "Hair Band" ... pumped to way beyond their capabilities (IMHO)

"poison" on steroids

I think AC-DC is right up there with G&R!

There is a you-tube clip of the late Malcolm Young's rhythm tracks for the AC/DC (aka AccaDacca in OZ) tracks.
An absolute masterful guitarist, one of very few who knew the value of pauses and silence.

Other than that I agree with you about AC/DC ... Billion Dollar sellers of a single sound.
