Lofty, it was seeing this post that caused me to re-visit 'Machine Gun' after a long period of time.

I'd forgotten just how fantastic it is. Thanks mate!!

Machine Gun happens to be one of the best covers I've ever heard. On a live Isley Brothers album that I haven't seen or heard for donkey's years. It was actually a medley of Machine Gun and Neil Young's Ohio ... if you know the two songs you can probably imagine how well they fit together ... imagine did I say? Well guess what:

I'm not sure if this is the same version I had but it's pretty damn good either way.

Ernie Isley on guitar ...

Well, excuse me, DKW, Moi also put down only one - Wild Thing by the Trogs, if you care to check.

So that's at least TWO of us who aren't muppets!

Though YorkleyBlue may be a POF.
