Nope, but a quick skim through that video tells me I have to listen to the whole thing.

Apart for using other sections of this forum, I find quite a bit of stuff from the "suggested site" or whatever Youtube call that bar that shows a bunch of videos to play after the one your playing. Some days it's a rabbit hole of videos and live concerts, some are crap but there is a few gems in the long grass.

This is the sort of stuff I like to listen to when I'm not doing much. I can listen to thrash/death/whatever anytime. Fixing the car, doing exercise, working, mowing the grass, whatever. But if I want to just relax and do SFA I'm all for this type of music. I do listen to more of the older stuff that then newer stuff though.
Big Brother and the Holding Co.
The Byrds
Hawkwind
Jefferson Airplane
MC5
Cream
There is a heap more of the time that were just as much fun to listen to.
We also had own bands doing not quite the psychedelic but bordering on it or just playing the straight out guitar driven music of the Woodstock era.
Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs
The Easybeats
Master Apprentices
and they lead into bands like
AC/DC
Sherbet
Rose Tattoo
and eventually bands like
Buffalo and The Saints.

I'm not surprised you haven't heard much of the Aussie stuff, until AC/DC our bands didn't export that well but they also didn't want to because the success they were having at home was enough for them.
A large number of our bands influenced a lot of music, even in small ways, but it's fairly safe to say that without the Easybeats one of the biggest bands in the world would never have existed. Harry Vanda and George Young (Angus & Mal's older bother) were in the Easybeats who made it big in the UK, without their success Angus and Malcolm wouldn't have gone into music and without Vanda & Young who moved into producing there was no one in this country in the early 70's pushing rock and roll like AC/DC.

Yeah it's kind of like thrash in today's market. There is so many bands and so much variety listening to it all is nearly impossible. But it's made even harder because some of the bands, even the ones people claim were influential, could have only had one or two really great songs or one good album in their time.

36th years since JP's Screaming For Vengeance. And Today KK's in the news because his bio is coming out soon and it's going to tell the real truth. I know I'm going to read the damn book just to see what he says but I still think it's going to be one of those books where there is two different versions of the truth, his and the person's he's talking about.

31 years since Appetite For Destruction was released, and currently it's back in the charts, along with a song released at about the same time and November Rain is the first rock song with a billion views on YT. It's like the years between Use Your Illusion and now didn't happen, although maybe that's just wishful thinking because no one but Axl thought GNR was still a thing until 18 months ago.

It's a 25 year old song and it shows, but I agree it hasn't got the balls their classics have, even the old live versions didn't cut it. I think it was only released now so they could have something different to claim as new or almost new when they released that overpriced box set.
