The following is a tribute to the fantastic year that the club has experienced both on and off the field.
Enjoy! (Make sure that the speakers on you PC/laptop are turned on)

I would have been unable to create the video review without being able to use the excellent photographs of Trust Board member Peter Harman.
Many thanks for creating a digital chronicle of the past twelve months in the life of the football club.

The intention of the track is to mirror the 'hectic' period associated with the recent success that the club has enjoyed.Solihull Martyr wrote:Music a bit modern for you though!
I grew up listening to Cream, Taste, Family, Traffic etc. The Punk era in 1977 changed the music scene overnight and coming so soon after the likes of Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell, it was difficult to adapt to the new sound.
Some of it was absolute garbage but over the years I've grown to like the music played by the true Punk bands (who can actually play properly and interpret the mood of the country).
I also thought that the name of the track - White Noise - was appropriate for the Martyrs!

Personally, I found it difficult to adapt to the new sound of Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell.

A missed opportunity here:

Just sayin' like
Then of course there is always the classics by Sham 69 (the Kids are United), ACAB (Where Have All the Bootboys Gone), Angelic Upstarts (Kids on the Street,) and of I am of the belief that Fugazi "Waiting Room" fits absolutely everything and should be the national anthem, or something. Though I have no idea how the lyrics relate to anything here, hehe.
Anyway I love the video as it is.

Yes, I grew up listening to similar bands, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin et al. Must say though the music chosen for the video montage suited it.

Fine genres all!CrazyNick wrote:
I know the marriage of music and football is an essential one.
On match days I have to set off early from here and travel a bit to get to games. The morning ritual involves bacon sarnies, getting scrubed up, opening a Guinness then banging up the music to 11 and blasting out some ska, post punk, soul, etc, anything with a bit of life. Mrs M is usually still in work early on so I get some of my faves in before I get the "can we have some proper music please?" which I think means Jessie J, whoever that may be, but I take it to means turning off The Cramps and instead putting on Searching For The Young Soul Rebels by Dexy's and Special Beat Service. Both those are getting insane amounts of play here on match days.

Have I told you all before (probably, yawn, yawn) that I interviewed Pink Floyd when they played at Merthyr's Castle Cinema?? Just thought I would mention it again!!!
Bob Dylan? He iis still going strong, 30-odd years post-punk, still performing 100 concerts a year world-wide.And he became the oldest person to top the album charts until Vera Lynn got there with a compilation a year or so ago.
Perhaps, Subterranean Homesick Blues was sort of Punk, although it did mirror Chuck Berry's Too Much Monkey Business!
In my opinion, The Kinks gave us a glimpse of Punk with an early single You Really Got Me.
And we have to some extent a successor to Punk Music with USA's Jessie Malin.
Country, rock-a-billy and western swing have an important role in (particularly US) music although there seem to be too many US radio stations playing what they call New Country which is rather samey.
I would recommend The Louvin Brothers (Charlie died last year) from the past and Alabama from the present with regard to country music. Of course, it is also worth delving back into the past for Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, Don Gibson etc!!

I like The Louvin Brothers, Hank Williams, Hank jr. and HankIII. Also Roy Acuff, Red Foley, Merle, Waylon, Willie, The Flying Burrito Brothers and Gramm Parsons and many more.

Yeah, right. I thought you were on first-name terms with Mozart! Actually my grandfather used to tell me about that lot! To be fair, Badge is pretty special.Wandering wrote:I grew up listening to Cream, Taste, Family, Traffic etc.

No. And please dont! I'd have put you more an ELP fan myself - outside "Fanfare for the Common Man" their stuff was turgid!Tim Drummond wrote:Have I told you all before (probably, yawn, yawn) that I interviewed Pink Floyd when they played at Merthyr's Castle Cinema??
[quote="Tim Drummond"]In my opinion, The Kinks gave us a glimpse of Punk with an early single You Really Got Me.[quote]No chance. Have you head the Van Halen version from the debut VH1? Surely one of the top 10 albums of all time.
What a bunch of old hippies y'all are!

Wandering may like to know of a CD by Roger Chapman (Family) called Live Maybe The Last Time, £9.99. Available from Spin CDs PO Box 1233 Newcastle upon Tyne NE99 2FD, postage free.
Solihull, I did see Emerson, Lake and Palmer and agree with your comments (I hated the Pomp Rock of the 70s, Genesis, Yes etc).
I did buy the triple album of ELP, mainly for Aaron Copland's Fanfare For The Common Man but never played it a lot. And I did buy, albeit second-hand, their version of Mussgorsky's Pictures At An Exhibition, also not played very often!!!
I did buy a King Crimson (Robert Fripp) LP too but agan only because it was in a sale!!
Van Halen!!! What about Ted Nugent!!!
I hated the Seventies!!!

Van Halen's first album is one of the great debut albums of all time. Saw them in Bristol supporting Black Sabbath and they blew Sabbath offstage. Ted Nugent is a moron but some of his music is great.

Uncle Ted! The Motor City Madman! Wang dang sweet poontang, now you're talking!! "Double Live Gonzo" an absolute classic. Whats that quote on it? "If anyone wants to get mellow they can get the **** outta here..."! Priceless.Bought "Intensities in Ten Cities" in Hong Kong: "Put up or Shut up" still remains a favourite to this day.Tim Drummond wrote:Van Halen!!! What about Ted Nugent!!!
Yip, me too. They were the dogs watsits with Dave Lee Roth fronting. All went wrong when Sammy Hagar took over - he should have stuck with Montrose. Even when Roth came back it wasn't the same.... And I maintain Mötley Crüe would never have made it without them...Bristol Martyr wrote:Van Halen's first album is one of the great debut albums of all time.
