Re: (TV) OT net jukeboxes / edinburgh boozers



Billy, I think it sounds like your spending too much time in the southern !

the internet jukebox is in the super soaraway cenny AKA the Centurion AKA the dodgey looking 70's concrete and brick box like structure in Corstorphine with the bookies next door

the MP3 jukebox is a great idea for folk like me that want to hear 'odd' stuff, but thats going to drive away more punters than it attracts in a quiet neighbourhood bar - great for a music orientated uptown pub, but a pretty odd choice for a dodgey wee local - (although as its usually empty when I go there its never really a problem) apparently it was a test bed for it, one of only 3 in scotland, but theyre being introduced elsewhere across town now

having said that, its only been working 3 out of the last 6 times I've been there so normally its still the usual chart/classic crap that you get in any nondescript bar

Edinburgh? What local is this?

Most jukeboxes in this city don't deserved to be
called a jukebox - they are so stupefyingly
predictable (AC/DC Greatest Hits, Sabbath Greatest
Hits, Krokus, Dokken, Ratt...ok maybe not the last
few...) and I remember one exceedingly bizarre evening
when I was in a place and a guy paid to hear "After
the Goldrush" in its entirety (yep, even "Hey, hey,
Cripple Creek Fffffffffeeerrrrryyyy"). We retaliated
(I like Neil!) with Slayer's classic "South of Heaven"
album - in its entirety.

Still think Slayer are one of the best twin guitar
bands ever, bizarrely - I think as far as
uber-sinister mosh intros go "South of Heaven" is
unbeatable. Very few mosh bands have good guitar lines
and interplay between the guitarists.

Anybody ever heard Al Di Meola's "Fantasia Suite for
Two Guitars?" Current fave tune, if slightly comical
in parts due to the speed he plays at.

/Bsck to lurking
