What's with this trend of big orchestras covering classics? I get singers doing their versions of songs (Michael Mcdonald does a great Heard It version) but orchestras? There's even orchestral Oasis. James Last style pish for today, I'd say. Scorpions' Moment of Glory album, which is basically just them doing a greatest hits album, but with the Berlin Philharmonic backing them, is absolutely sensational. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I used to love listening to acoustic/orchestra versions of Anjunabeats. Incredibly relaxing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, good stuff. I don't mind it when the band are there, it's when it turns out really bland like the Grapevine I heard that annoys me. From days long, long ago Procul Harum and Caravan have good albums with orchestra, Metallica with orchestra is really good and Kiss with an orchestra is great, if only to see the orchestra in Kiss makeup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Land Down Under ..... acoustic, as you describe, version used as the sound track to the Wolf Creek series. although I quite liked it tbf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Why do some patio/front doors in houses still need a key to unlock from the inside? With all the fire risk precautions we take nowadays surely you should always be able to exit your house without needing a key in the case of emergency. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the fire risk precautions we take nowadays surely you should always be able to exit your house without needing a key in the case of emergency. Agreed. We used to have a car where even if the doors were locked, you could still open them from the inside just by pulling the handle as normal. The cars we have now are set up so you have to unlock the door first, then pull on the handle. Seems to me that if you've just been in a crash and need to get out fast, that would be an unnecessary and potentially difficult extra step. Particularly if you're disoriented, upside down, under water or whatever. The technology has obviously been around for years, so why not use it as standard? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 We have patio doors out the back and the key just stays in the lock all the time. Can't say I've ever really thought about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I've ever really thought about it. I store mine on a wee nail behind the curtain at the door, the Mrs doesn’t like leaving key in door all time. Not really the point though as there’s a chance the key could not be there for any reason and you’d be fucked in the case of fire. It should just be standard that you don’t require a key to get out for that very reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safe to say a chair would be flung through it in case of fire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
