Woah! Fantastic!
I've heard of him but never heard him before, thanks for that link.
His custom shop signature Gibsons are nice too, they should do a production version.
-
There was a Johnny A guest lesson a while back in Total Guitar, obviously I couldnt play anything in it :lol:
-
I can't play anything in anybody's lessons.
And that's how I got where I am today. :cry: :wink:
-
a lot of clutch and spiritual beggars happening in my ears just now.

Hmm, let's see. Today it was Unearth, Killswitch Engage, Symphony X, Spheric Universe Experience, Scar Symmetry and Adagio. Oh yeah... and whatever happened to be on the smooth jazz station here in town when I was switching cds.

Andy Timmons,Deep Purple and Lynrd Skynrd And Axis Bold as Love made me cry, even after listening to it since 20 years ago. Sometimes Jimi just sneaks back up on you and it's all brand new. Would like to hear the new Maiden. :!:

Since the car I drive for work (small truck/van thingy) has no CD player, only a tape player, I'm diiging through my old tape collection. I just rediscovered Faith No More's Album Of The Year. Pure genius.
-
I was playing some older things that I haven't heard in a bit this weekend:
Concrete Blonde - Recollection
Groundhogs - Eccentric Man
Chicken Shack - The Complete Blue Horizon Sessions
King Crimson - Court of the Crimson King
Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs
And not so old

Try listening to something cheerful instead then! Jump by Van Halen usually does the trick "you gotta ro-oo-o-oool with the punches to get to whats real!" whadda line!
Alternatively try something like the birdie song or agadoo, this will only work if you do the dance as well tho. :wink:
I'm currently listening to an old DJ Ratty old school rave tape from new years eve 1993/94 :D

New Maiden is ok, but not great. MAJOR cr@ppola as far as the production. For some unknown reason they chose not to master the disk. Kevin Shirley should be shot. His mix isn't good enough not to have been sent to a mastering engineer. All told, I like the previous effort better. But let's be serious, Seventh Son, Powerslave or Somewhere in Time this is NOT.
Up the Irons,

Iommi - Fused
Jethro Tull - Benefit
Trouble - Manic Frustration
Y&T - Mean Streak
Audioslave - Revelations
You have chosen tastefully! Benefit has long been one of my top albums, and I could listen to Iommi's tone on Fused all day long (and sometime's do ;)).
a lot of clutch and spiritual beggars happening in my ears just now.
You have also chosen tastefully! :) Though I liked the Beggars more when that nutter Spice was in the band, and I haven't heard the new Clutch yet (though I look forward seeing them open for Motörhead in November :twisted:).
For my part .... well, I've been checking out the new Motörhead album; seems pretty good so far! I checked out the new BLS, too, but I gotta say that it hasn't really been doing it for me that much .... :? Anyway, I was just on holiday in Italy, too, so I was listening to some Lacuna Coil (I'm a sucker for that kinda thing -- always liked The Gathering! :)). I've also been grooving with UK psych-masters Sun Dial, various MP3s downloaded from unsigned bands on MySpace (of all sorts of different genres), and over and over again to one of my own demos, trying to figure out a way to get a better snare sound from my relatively rudimentary drum-programming setup! :)
-
Concrete Blonde - Recollection
For some reason, I've always loved their cover of Leonard Cohen's "Everybody Knows"!
Lacuna Coil - in a Reverie
I do dig Lacuna Coil, though I kinda wish they sang more material in Italian. I think it would sound better :)
-
I was playing some older things that I haven't heard in a bit this weekend:
Concrete Blonde - Recollection
Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs
I saw concrete blonde in 1990 (supporting The Church), damn good live band (never heard any of their recordings though).
Been listening th Bridge of Sigh recently along with
Buckethead - Enter the Chicken & Inbred Mountain
Tinariwen - amassakoul
Donald Fagen - The Nightfly
and finally
The Nuggets _ both the original & UK compilations

IMHO, The Gathering USED to be good, for cds like Mandylion and Nighttime Birds. Then they went all "Floyd" and lost me as a fan. That being said, Anneke still has a killer set of pipes.
As far as Lacuna Coil goes... I dug Comalies alot more than the latest one... though it's still decent. Not a whole heck of a lot of bands out there fronted by women that really do it for me. I can only stand so much After Forever and Oratory. Now Nightwish makes me want to claw my own eardrums out with a rusty coat hanger. Though their latest is not AS grating. I'm GLAD Tar-jaw left. Couldn't stand her. It'll be interesting to see who/what replaces her.

SliderJeff, you have some great taste in underground metal!
Wuthering Heights Far From The Madding Crowd is one of my favourite power prog albums!
jt ... JLT is THE MAN! Love his singing voice/style, even though he seems to ALWAYS sing in Am!! PDT_008
-
Heheh.. thanks, TO. Far From The Maddening Crowd is a really good cd. Are you familiar with bands like Tunnelvision, Pantommind, Magnitude 9, Eldritch and such? Good stuff too.

Oh yes indeed, I love Spiritual Beggars and the mighty Clutch! Re the "new" Clutch album, do you mean Robot Hive/Exodus, Carlaz? It's exceedingly fine, and there are two tracks left over from the Robot Hive sessions on Pitchfork & Lost Needles, which are just mind-bogglingly brilliant.
I've never listened to Lacuna Coil or The Gathering, but I should check them out - I love female vocalists in rock bands.
I have two new acquisitions from eBay today:
Y&T - Black Tiger
Trouble - The Skull (I just found out my Psalm 9/The Skull double CD is missing a track)
-
Right Now
Necrophagist - Epitaph
The Black Dahlia Murder - Miasma
Sarcófago - INRI
Necrophagist - Onset To Putrefaction

I've got a total of 115 days worth of music on my ipod. It's only around a 1/4 full as well. Freaky isn't it. It's screen works now as I dropped it down the toilet when i first got it and could only work it on shuffle play, as I couldn't navigate the menus! :lol: They are life changing. If I lost it or had it stolen, I'd just buy another one! There's loads of rock and metal in it.
Jeff Beck is some of the music I'm listening to
Anthrax
SOAD
Devin Townsends Synchestra too.
Still got some Meshugga and Opeth which I like thanks to reading about them here!
-
Meshuggah :twisted: I can't get tired of them, it's so good and original. Can't wait for the Nothing rerecording due to be out next month. So hypnotic
-
IMHO, The Gathering USED to be good, for cds like Mandylion and Nighttime Birds. Then they went all "Floyd" and lost me as a fan. That being said, Anneke still has a killer set of pipes.
Well, I do kinda agree -- I only have Mandylion and Nighttime Birds and didn't bother with the rest. ;) But I quite like those two!
As far as Lacuna Coil goes... I dug Comalies alot more than the latest one... though it's still decent. Not a whole heck of a lot of bands out there fronted by women that really do it for me. I can only stand so much After Forever and Oratory. Now Nightwish makes me want to claw my own eardrums out with a rusty coat hanger.
I really like the idea of heavy rock/metal with female vocals -- perhaps because I like heavy rock/metal and I like a number of classic rock/folk female vocalists, and besides it just seems to me that the relative EQing of fat, overdriven guitars and high clear vocals ought to work well -- but I find that the implementation of female-voiced rock/metal often leaves much to be desired. I like those two Gathering albums, I like what I've heard of LC's In a Reverie, Comalies, and even Karmacode, but After Forever, Nightwish, Oratory, and Within Temptation just leave me cold.
-
Hey Carlaz where can I find some examples of these folks Sun Dial they sound interesting to me.
They're linked off my MySpace page, but here're the direct links to the MySpace pages for Sun Dial and for main man Gary Ramon (who's page has, basically, a few more Sun Dial samples:
http://www.myspace.com/sundial001
http://www.myspace.com/garyramon
The regular Sun Dial web page is here: http://www.sundial.org.uk/
You can find their albums pretty easily on amazon.co.uk; Other Way Out, Return Journey, and Acid Yantra are all pretty good, IMO. There's supposed to be a newly remastered retrospective compilation called Shards of God coming out shortly. The band was pretty active in the early '90s, and then it seemed had kinda gone into hiatus, but seem to be gearing up for new recordings and gigs again.
They remind me of a sort of "British Invasion" version of Monster Magnet. Gary Ramon clearly likes the Beatles, his '60s classic garage/psych, and walls o' fuzz. ;) It's a too much pop to be stoner metal, but too heavy and stoned to be pop. Maybe, like, if the Stone Roses had listened to more Sabbath or something .... ;)
-
Oh yes indeed, I love Spiritual Beggars and the mighty Clutch! Re the "new" Clutch album, do you mean Robot Hive/Exodus, Carlaz? It's exceedingly fine, and there are two tracks left over from the Robot Hive sessions on Pitchfork & Lost Needles, which are just mind-bogglingly brilliant.
Well, both actually, since I've only heard a bit of Robot Hive/Exodus and none of Pitchfork & Lost Needles! Clearly, a situation I need to rectify. I think Clutch are one of the best bands to come out of the US in the last decade (indeed, one of the best bands of the last decade!).
I've never listened to Lacuna Coil or The Gathering, but I should check them out - I love female vocalists in rock bands.
Definitely check out The Gathering's Mandylion; the opening track "Strange Machines" pretty much defines why we should like female-voxed heavy rock. :) Nighttime Birds is also a good album, though as was pointed out, the band then started to think they were the second-coming of Pink Floyd, which I'm not sure was a good direction for them .... But, anyway, I've only just checked out a bit of Lacuna Coil recently, mostly bits of their Comalies album, and it seems quite good.
I don't think The Gathering have a MySpace page, but you can listen to a few bits of Lacuna Coil on theirs: http://www.myspace.com/lacunacoil
-
i like The Gathering, the new album was brilliant!
I forgot to add:
Symbyosis http://www.symbyosis.com/
Some of the BEST metal guitar playing in a long time...plenty of mp3s on their site, heres one off the recent album http://www.symbyosis.com/phoenix00/medias/wingsphoenix/symbyosis_CD01_famine.mp3
Totally digging the vocals, the lead guitar tone and the melodic soloing!
The track above has one of the longest\best solo cuts off the album, not really shred, just soulful metal goodness \m/

Thanks for that
Apart from Fools Gold (the direction the roses should have moved in) the suggestion that they needed to listen to more Sabbath is the best suggestion I have heard for years :)
I found their home site last night but didn't find any audio :( I will try the others later (when the boss goes home) though I am currently computerless in work and having to use a communal machine to work on :evil:
I notice that they have been mentioned alongside Bevis Frond & The Magic Mushroom Band who I found immencely enjoyable in the early 80s. Unfortunitely all my MM Band tapes where stolen (including a vast number of studio leftovers which where better than their official releases)

Ah, you are a man of taste! One of my favorite concerts was a storming Bevis Frond gig in Cambridge's (now sadly defunct) The Boat Race venue in autumn 1995. Amazing. I saw them a few more times in the late '90s, and Nick Saloman really is a lovely bloke (as well as a first rate songwriter and psychedelic guitar-meister).
The latest Aural Innovations online newsletter has interviews with both Nick and Gary Ramon of Sundial: http://aural-innovations.com/issues/issue34/issue34.html
(Bunch of other nterviews there, too: Dave Brock, the dudes from Nebula ....)
Unfortunitely all my MM Band tapes where stolen (including a vast number of studio leftovers which where better than their official releases)
Always the way with these kinds of bands. Like, I really dig Sun Dial's Return Journey, which poses as an album but is actually a collection of various stuff Ramon had lying about, I think .... :)

Forbidden... EVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIL! Fan-friggin-tastic thrash cd. I caught a live vid of these guys from like 2001 on youtube the other day. Wow... Russ has really let himself go. And I couldn't really tell if it was the same guys in the band as back on FE and TiF.
As for Marty's new one, at least it doesn't suck as bad the previous few. It's still a far cry from Cacophony, but it's a step in the right direction. Well, other than that J-Pop singer caterwauling on the one tune. Can you say "skip button"? I knew you could. :)

-
Good Rats - Ratcity in Blue
Finally got it on CD and heard it for the first time in 10 years (maybe more) this morning.
Genius! I can't believe it's 30 years old. Brilliant songs, great musicianship and what a singer Peppi Marchello is! :D
-
Wow... that's pretty cool. Did you ever hear his son's hard rock/hair metal/shred cd "Destiny" under the band name "Marchello"? Good stuff. I need to pop that in the old cd player again. It's been eons since I listened to it.
Later,
Jeff
-
Funnily enough, I was listening to Destiny a couple of months ago - again, for the first time in eons!
Gene Marchello's a damn good guitarist, but the album sounds pretty dated now - funny how 70s records still sound great and always have done, but loads of things from the 80s and 90s haven't stood the test of time at all.... :?
-
i swear it's spelt aeons... or did i dream that???
anyway, listening to REM's greatest hits atm
-
i swear it's spelt aeons... or did i dream that???
Both spellings are correct. But I must admit Aeon Flux is a better title than Eon Flux.
-
I don't know whether these people count as world, folk, or "modern medieval", but I've been checking them out them lately: L'ham de foc (http://www.lhamdefoc.com/). Not much in the way of guitar pyrotechnics per se, but I've been digging their vibe! :)
-
I just got the Free Forever DVD and the Live at the BBC CD. Some great stuff on there. Anyone who likes blues/rock should take a listen.

Haven't seen/heard it read, but I've read good reviews. Amazing that a) that footage was shot, and b) that it survived to make it onto DVD!

Rory and SRV obviously.
I dont think I can go a day without.
Umm others like Hendrix,Clapton, Zeppelin, Cream, Donovan, RATM and a few odd songs... :wink:
-
On the way home from work tonight I was listening to the Allman Brothers at the Fillmore- still brilliant after all these years.
-
My current iPod fave is the most recent album by Camera Obscura (Lets get out of this Country) although I tend to skip the slower more miserable songs. The Chain Gang of Love album by the Raveonettes is (still) a hit, I love the songwriting and storytelling and off course the guitars that go from all nice and mellow to completely deranged fuzz 'n feedback assaults at the drop of a hat 8)

I was listening to that albom last week, it's way better than "pretty in black" and I love the 'twanky' guitar in love in a trashcan.
Iver the weekend I was listening to a lot of stuff by Air (if only they would forget abou vocals on their tracks), along with Children of Nuggets http://www.rhino.com/store/ProductDetail.lasso?Number=74639
I blame Carlaz for mentioning Sun Dial to me hough I do have about half the tracks on the original albums anyway.
Rob...

Oh and Death Angel!! :twisted:
The Ultra-Violence is a great album :D

Love in a trash Can has great guitar tones indeed 8) (but it's from the Pretty in Black album). My favourites from Chain Gang of Love are the opening track, "Remember" and "Heartbreak Stroll".
Air has some good tunes too although I rarely manage to sit trough an entire album.

I think I may have got that bass ackwards as I was posting while doing what I'm being paid to do.
Air are a great way getting a calming influence while travelling back from work (after that I can decide what mood I'm really in and choose something more appropiate)

On the way home from work tonight I was listening to the Allman Brothers at the Fillmore- still brilliant after all these years.
My desert island album. Never gets old.
Some other things that have entertained me recently:
Govt Mule - Deep end
Roy Buchannan - That`s what I`m here for
Hawkwind - Doremi fasol latido
T Bone Walker - Best of
Drive By Truckers - Decoration Day
Miles Davis - Kind of blue
Budgie - An ecstasy of fumbling
Junior Watson - If I had a genie
+ A little Grant Green, some Albert Collins and always some Rory Gallagher.

Marvellous album isn't it Damien.
I see Budgie in your list- I was always impressed with the Wilfred Owen connection.

Budgie where one of only two gigs I have walked out of (the other was Runrig)
Happily in the case of Budgie I only went to see the support band anyway, who happened to be Berne Torme, who I have to say put on a great (but all too short) show.

Only 2, You`re lucky, I`ve walked out of loads.
Shame Budgie were disapointing.
I only saw them once , Reading festival `79 I thought they were pretty good but for me their early `70`s stuff is where it`s at.
Bernie Torme, I saw him a few times with Ian Gillan. Great player, what became of him?

There are lots of us old 'uns here. Not sure who the record holder is...

:D Funny you guys should mention Budgie
I`ve just taken delivery of "Power Supply" [ i think its the first album feat John Thomas on guitar ]
I saw Budgie support Gillian at the Hammy Odean in about 82/83 i think. Great performance really gave gillian a run for the money. The Allman Brothers "Live At The Fillimore" is classic, never get tired of it.
New to My list is:
Miss Crazy - Miss Crazy [ its been released here in the UK at last ! ]
Budgie - Power Supply
Johnny A - Sometime Tuesday Morning - Get Inside
Brother Fire Tribe - False Metal
Free - Fire & Water
Rose Tattoo - Rose Tattoo

Today I am listening to:
MD.45 - The Craving
Original version, not the remaster on which Dave Mustaine apparently "couldn't find" Lee Ving's vocal tracks!
-
lets see....this week I have mostly been listening to
Crypotopsy: None so Vile, Whisper Supremacy, Once Was Not
Justin King: Le Blue
Phil Keagy: Light of madrid, Acoustic SKetches
Jeff Buckley: Live at Sin e
Sikth: ...Something Wild, Death of a Dead Day
Isis: Panopticon, Celestial
Killswitch Engage: Alive or Just Breathing?
Nile: Anhialation of the Wicked, In Their Darkenned Shrines
Breed 77: Cultura
lamb of God: As the Palaces Burn, Sacrament, New American Gospel
Mono: Walking Cloud And Deep Red Sky, Flag Fluttered and the Sun Shined, One More Step And You Die, Hey You.
And anything of the 550 albums or so I enque in winamp nearly every day and play on random. At this instant its Mogwai, Travel is dangerous. But thats the main stuff I've been putting on intentionally lately.
-
I've really been getting into Free and Bad Company over the past few weeks. Paul Rodgers has to be one of the best rock singers ever..
Cant get The Hunter outta my head, such a good song and I must learn it soon.
-
Paul Rodgers has to be one of the best singers ever..
Thats what I wouldve said. I love free. Prefer him to freddie on the recent shinanigans with queen too.
*pute on flame retardant suit and waits for queen purists*
-
Dont worry, I think I prefer Queen with Paul aswell :P Just not a fan of Freddies voice, gets really annoying.. Then again I'm not a big fan of Queen :)
-
I think Paul Rodgers and Free (and all that mob) are severely underrated, perhaps more so in the US than in the UK, but underrated nonetheless. Like, yeah, I heard "All Right Now" all the time on classic rock radio in the States as a kid, and that's a great song of course, but that's all you really run into.
I mean, Zeppelin remain huge in the States compared to the UK in my experience (I was in Colorado last year and walked into a supermarket where I heard "Custard Pie" playing on the store PA!). Where's the Free?
Not until I started going to Gov't Mule gigs did I start getting the sense that there was more to Free than just "All Right Now" (the Mule covered "Mr. Big" often live, and on their first studio album,and the did very Free-influenced versions of "The Hunter". Then I ran out and got a Free compilation, and have been slowly digging deeper since. I really want to see that DVD that PhilKing mentioned! That's gotta be great.
It's really a shame that Free imploded like they did, since I think they were really poised to go places. Bad Company is pretty respectable, though they were clearly in a bit of trouble towards the end before Paul quit (and though the later, reconstituted version had respectable commercial succcess, they didn't really kick a lot of arses IMO). The Firm ... never really got anywhere, somehow.
As for Rodgers himself, he's still in great shape and has a great voice. As happy as I am for him for his gig with Queen, I can't help feeling it's a bit of an underachievement. I think the man needs collaborative partners and a ripping guitarist, and though Queen to a large degree provide those, I'm not sure they provide them in such a way that really play to his strengths. Hey, wait, maybe he should team up with Audley Freed (http://www.gibson.com/whatsnew/pressrelease/2002/apr3a.html) (ex-Cry of Love, ex-Black Crowes)? He's just the right kind of guitarist to work with Rodgers, IMO.

Whats GOOMY like? I've only heard a couple of tracks off it which were pretty good but I'm not really a fan of instrumentals that much.
-
I'm big on instrumentals, always have been since 87 when I got my first Shrapnel records compilation album (with Scarified by Racer X on it!!!!)
But to answer your question, its fantastic. Very retro in terms of tone and riffing and a lot of Gilbert's sense of humour and tons of outrageous shredding but always musical.
The only thing that bothers me is it doesn't sound like he's using his PGM, he's really into the Ibanez Gibson copies and although I think he get's the pickups rewound by dimarzio they are definately more vintage and maybe wired in parallel to get that really clear high end and clicky picking sound-
I do love his tone on that album though.
3 thumbs up PDT_003 PDT_003 PDT_003
-
Cheers for the mini-review. I've always liked Gilberts playing. I got a few tracks off Limewire and was thinking about either buying GOOMY or whichever one has Down To Mexico on it as that has to be one of my favourites (after Scarified of course)..

Is that the one with all the guitar headstocks on the cover called Guitar Masters? I've got a copy of that knocking around somewhere too! It's ffing great :D :D
-
That's the fella!
I bought it when it came out (198???) and then lent it to someone and didn't get it back (ooohhh how many times has that happened?) but by some miracle I managed to find another copy (on LP of course!) in the record and tape exchange on Notting Hill Gate (around the corner from my flat at the time) last winter. Happy? OVER THE BLOODY MOON I WAS!! :D :D :D
Racer X, Cacophany, Jason Becker, Marty Friedman, Greg Howe... amazing stuff!
Shame that in Mike Varney's attempt to find every good guitar player in America he overlooked one simple thing, sound quality. Cos it sound's like it was recorded on cardboard with a knitting needle as a stylus. Oh well you can't have everything.

Yes it does sound a bit low budget!
I love the last track on side 2, The Villa by Doctor Mastermind! It's just mad! The shredding on the album is crazy and I used to play it to death. I think I got mine around late 88 but it had been out for a bit already i think.
Nice cover though isn't it! I used to gaze at it for ages! :lol:
Edit, i just found it and it says 1989 on the back!
-
wow, I thought it was before then as well!! Is there a track on it by Joey Tafolla? he was one of Paul Gilberts pupils at MIT.
-

Yes, I've got it by the side of me now! 3rd track on the B side called, 'Out Of The Sun'
There's some numbers in the small print, they look like catalogue numbers for the album that his track came from;
LP RR 9573/ CD RR 9573 2
:idea: I wonder if you could find a copy out there in cyberspace?

Quick addition to this:
BYZANTINE
Crazy timings, often heavy as sin, occasionally very mellow, ripping solos in the metal/jazz/blues vien sick drumming and ultra-cool choruses (showing metalcore how its really done).
They have a moto of sorts:
"Beating the eyeliner off the face of metal"
Just found them this weekend and have hardly listened to anything else since.

I quite like Zakk´s Sonic Brew -- "Bored to Tears" is just so crushingly heavy, and then there´s a bit of acoustic stuff on there too. All, the stuff Zakk´s good at, though I think he´s been running out of ideas since the early BLS albums. The last few have been all right, some decent stuff, but it´s all a bit same-y and predictable. I think Zakk needs a strong writing partner. He´s very dominant in the "group" (such as it is) but just can´t do it all by himself for ever.
On a different note -- I´m actually writing from Bogota, Colombia at the moment, down here unexpectedly due too an emergency in my wife´s family. Haven´t had too much chance to do too much fun, but I did get along to a record release party of a kinda Latin pop/rock artist called Galeano whom I vaguely know (via the the internet until the launch the other night). Good fun -- and very very differnt from BLS. ;) Guess he´d picked up a sponsorship from Fender, since his band was all kitted out with very fresh looking Fender gear ....

Rory Gallagher never goes out of style for me. I saw him six times and every time was an adventure. Damn I miss his playing live, when he was live.

Not got a stereo in my new motor yet so been driving around with no music (I was in the motor for about 5 hours yesterday) :x . Very dull indeed, it's usually the only place I can listen to music as loud as I want :twisted:

"razorlight - razorlight

nowhere near as addictive as their first album, i got bored with 90% of the tracks on there
"Irish Tour" Rory Gallagher
SUCH a good album
:D:D

I don't really have many albums, i download most of my music off limewire (But don't tell anyone, it's illegal :wink: ) But I'm listening to Dream Theater, Liquid Tension Experiment, the 'new' Deep Purple with Steve Morse.
Everyone should definately check out the current Deep Purple lineup, (they're still putting out new material) I saw them live this year and they're sounding better than ever. Steve Morse did so much for that band, he's added a new heavy/shreddy/pinch harmonicky sound that's really breathed life into a band that's been around for 38 years.
I dictaphoned a concert of theirs and I'm listening to that too (Shh, that's illegal too :wink::wink::wink:)
-
Everyone should definately check out the current Deep Purple lineup
+1!
They're one of the very few "old" bands that isn't just going through the motions and touring with a second drummer, three backup singers and an army of auxiliary keyboard players. And as people, they've grown old gracefully instead of turning into cartoons of themselves like Whitesnake and Aerosmith.
Funnily enough, I was listening to the remastered Burn last night, and I read that they're remastering Stormbringer for release next spring. :D
-
I found myself listening to yet more Thin Lizzy, werent they an awesome band? I really think its a shame people only know the hit!
Check out Roisin Dubh a rock legend, mad guitar solo by Gary Moore, amazing!

Tonight I'm listening to some early-80s Canadian things:
Coney Hatch - all 3 albums
Headpins - Turn It Loud

Richie Scarlet - Wise Guy from NY
Good Rock and Roll!
Richie is currently playing bass for Leslie West, he also plays with Ace Freely, and with Alice Cooper's band in addition to having his own band.
-
Nekromantix - Return Of The Loving Dead.
More rockabilly and more punk than their earlier work. The rockabilly licks are more rockabilly and the punk rock has become heavier, more complex and very catchy. They have found a way to fuse those styles together very well on this album.
Listen to it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3CrLEdsd4M

I went to see George Clinton at The Brixton Academy in 96 or 97, anyway he had two dummers, two bass players and 3 guitar players. Not to mention the synths and brass sections. At his peak he would have 70 people on stage. The money ran out for that kind of touring as you can imagine (too much acid :wink: )! The gig started around 21:00 and went on till around 4:00! Most of it was these amazing jams. Dirty funk, it's a bit different to say the least but what a $%&#in' night! 8)

Mum bought me Paul Gilberts 'Get Out of My Yard' for my birthday and its awesome so far, the first track is coolest! His Laney tone sounds nothing like my Laney though.. suppose thats because hes Paul Gilbert and I am not :lol:
Ok edit - after some tweaking, this GH50L NAILS the Gilbert tone! Its awesome.

should have an interesting day tomorrow, The Beatles "Love" and Kreator's "Enemy Of God" are both due in the post! which should i listen to first?
-
Try them both at the same time and see if there's any Dark Side/Wizard of Oz style synchronicity!
38th, what do you think of Love? I have only listened to the first few minutes but would beinterested to hear more. Is it a new era in music or just an attempt to cash in on their back catalogue?
-
I had very mixed feelings about messing around with the original tracks. If we entertain the premise that remixing has become an artform then it brings something to it I guess.Better that George Martin is the man to do it. The whole catalogue is apparently bvbeing worked upon to release in 5.1 surround sound.The first 4 years songs , or thereabouts, were recorded pretty much with destructive overdubs so that'll be interesting. Having listened now a few times_ do like it but would prefer to hear the original tracks restored so tha they come up well on a modern hifi. Overall, it does work and the version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps is lovely.It was taken from an acoustic demo that George did and it is gentle and has George's plaintiff vocal with a new George Martin string overdub.

And yesterday I was listening to the Vinnie Vincent Invasion, probably my favourite album of 1986 :oops: . It's shitee. Just goes to show not everything stands the test of time... :(
-
Hey Philly Q, I was wondering, do you actually look like your avatar? coz that's what I imagine you look like :) It'd be a shock to find out that you don't...
-
Yup, that's exactly what I look like. Topper, cane, the lot. And I'm so old I'm in black and white. :wink:
Not really, but I have no intention of putting up a pic of what I really do look like. PDT_023
Just out of curiosity, do you know who that picture is, young feller-me-lad?

Errm.. Winston Churchill? I dunno, I'm only 15.

It's W C Fields (info here (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001211/)).

W C Fields, oh nice one man! I watched that film It's A Gift once and nearly died laughing, the man was a genius!
I'm listening to Court and Spark by Joni Mitchell 'cos I'm hungover to f*ck! I drank myself stupid yesterday due to that idiot 'Ref' Graham Poll's decisions based on the bungs he took from that French C*nt! :evil:
-
W C Fields forever.
-
He can't of been that good, he's named after a toilet! :P :wink:
-
I would say "I refuse to dignify that with a response", but here I am responding. :wink:
Glad I can rely on Johnny and Mr 38th to show some taste.

Listening to Def Leppard : High and Dry
Probably their best album
(http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000001DVD.01._SS500_SCLZZZZZZZ_V1115512419_.jpg)
It was recorded just after AC/DC's Back In Black using Mutt Lange who had produced for the Aussies too and unsurprisingly sounds rather similar but with Def Lepp songs and vocals
It has EXACTLY the same sound as Back In Black and is surely the heaviest (and best) thing that Def Leppard ever did.
It is so worth hearing as it has so much great guitar work on it and some great rock guitar tones too.....
Also been listening to a Heavy Pettin box set : Pettology
They were Glasgow's answer to Def Leppard and were a great live band
(http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000HWXGGQ.01._SS400_SCLZZZZZZZ_V39763828_.jpg)
-

Totally agree!
It's interesting that Def Leppard were often accused of not being able to function without Lange, and that "their" sound was really "his" sound (which seemed to be proved by that Bryan Adams album he did later!).
But when he worked with AC/DC, they still sounded like AC/DC. And he even took "that" sound to his next project.
-
agree with Feline, High'N'Dry is one of my all time favourite albums, and i absolutely love the guitar sounds on it. anyone that has written Leppard off as a pop band should give it a listen, it'll surprise you!
-
:D I still think the riff to " Let It Go" is one of the top riffs ever. Fantastic album.

Lets hear it for Mrs 38th! :D Have you seen him play on Eric's Crossroads DVD? Very very soul bearing performance and he sings the notes as he plays them when he really lets go on a solo! 8)

I'm not a fan, he's far too polite for me. But he has damn fine taste in guitars.
Oh, and as I'm slightly pissed at the moment, I'm going to admit that this week I've been listening to Winger. Reb rools....
-
Is that the new Winger album? I had a quick go in Tower records and it seemed a lot heavier than their older stuff.
-

Me too.. Seventeen is the only one I've actually heard though but it has some good riffs and the solo is great.
-

I wouldn't call it heavier, but it's more "mature" sounding. Almost a bit proggy at times, but unfortunately Kip's "serious singer-songwriter" side is much in evidence. There's hardly any of that bouncy, shiny pop metal sound from the first two albums (unfortunately).
Only listened to it a couple of times though, need to let it grow on me...
-

Robert Cray is superb, I particulary like the line from The Score "and your story wasn't fittin' any better than your dress". Just says it all really, that and he's yet another guitarist who shows the high standard of technique that is needed to pull off playing with a clean guitar sound without needing to descend into the depths of widdledom. Phenominal artist! 8)

currently listening to:
Geoff Whitehorn : Geoff Who?, Big In Gravesend.

This week I am mostly listening to Stuart Cable's Cable Rock (http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/mainframe.shtml?http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/wales_aod.shtml?wales/cablerock).
-
just had a little Steve Vai phase for the last few days, although i'm still listening to the Wildhearts in the car, and i'm quite enjoying the Kreator cd i got. the Beatles Love sounds good, but i want some quality time to listen to the DVD-A surround version, so that'll have to wait a few days :cry:
also, at three o'clock this morning found myself listening to Mattias Eklund while having a nice cup of tea :?

I think he does it well, it's dressed up in a nice sounding delivery but it's pretty stinging stuff!
I never got in to Winger. I've heard of them but seem a bit geeky for my tastes!
-
Leslie West ~ Blue You: Leslie's playing is as fine as ever, he's got a Dean USA sig guitar I've been eye-balling, yeah I've got GAS for this one.
-
I just picked up, for a fiver !, a CD and DVD of Eric Clapton playing Robert Johnson songs( called Sessions for Robert J).The DVD is superb-informal footage of "Ricky" and the guys rehearsing. His voice is fantastic on this and , to me, his playing is coming from somewhere special.I know he particularly loves Johnsons stuff and it shows. The band features the late great Billy Preston and some lovely slide from Doyle Bramhall 11
( that is not a football team btw). Also listening to a lot of Muddy Waters and Big Bill Broonzy. Mrs 38th & I are both fond of blues.
-
This thread's been dormant for a while...
I finally managed to get a CD copy of my favourite album of 1984 - Vices by Canadian melodic metal mayhem merchants (as Kerrang! journalists used to say in those days) Kick Axe. Still sounds bloody fantastic! :D

Derek Trucks tonight-Songlines.

i finally got to listen to the dvd-audio disc of the Beatles: Love.
WOW! it's incredible how good this sounds, it really shows the fidelity achievable with skilled recording engineers and good quality tape and machinery, from back in the days when things were over-engineered rather than designed to fall apart after four years! of course, the actual music is more important than the recording quality, and for me that is beyond reproach. the Beatles are simply the most consistently brilliant band i can think of. many people these days argue against their importance and even their quality, but i think anyone that looks objectively at the evolution of "popular" music will have little doubt just how vital their contribution was.
Phew! got a bit heavy there! anyway, point is it's bloody brilliant! well worth buying i think.
also still listening to my recent staple diet of Monster Magnet, The Flaming Lips, Steve Vai and Juliette and the Licks. oh and last night i gave The Donnas: Gold Medal a spin, i'd forgotten how good that was! shame to hear they've been dumped by their label.

Listening to a nice trashy glam band from San Francisco called Miss Crazy
Track I like called "Cant get Enough"
http://www.myspace.com/misscrazymusic
A bit like Cinderella meets Kix whilst trying to dress up as Kiss
or Cheap Trick meets Wasp
Not very original but good tunes and catchy as hell
Good fun stuff ( I have always liked glam stuff - as a kid it was Slade, T Rex , Queen, Bowie Kiss etc - in the 80s it was Motley , Ratt, early Tigertailz and GnR till they became a parody of themselves)

Not really my bag, a bit TOO KISS, but hey, what about the bassist :wink:

Performed over a couple of days to allieviate the pain of commuting and work hell. And OK, only some of the Aussie imports, off of Bonfire :)
But did include the soundtrack to the Let There be Rock live video. I love the bit in that where Angus has to take Oxygen to carry on. That is the most Rock thing I have ever seen :) :guitar4:

Yesterday "Axis: Bold As Love" By Hendrix and "The Virginian" by Neko Case dropped through my letter box, so those on heavy rotation. Otherwise irecently it's been "Real Gone" by Tom Waits and "Kitty Jay" by Seth Lakeman.
*Rahnooo*
-

Unfortunatley its still VHS only, is available on amazon though.
It is really worth getting if you are a fan, IMO the best AC/DC live video. Really captures the raw essence of their music, and even has a cheesy bi-plane / porsche montage in the middle to Walk All Over You :)
{aside}The more I talk about this, the more I am feeling the need for a Riff-Raff. How do they work out for you Phil?{/aside}

{aside}The more I talk about this, the more I am feeling the need for a Riff-Raff. How do they work out for you Phil?{/aside}
The Riff Raff is a "does exactly what it says on the tin" kind of pickup. It's that typical slightly dry (but not harsh) Gibson T-top kind of tone - won't really blow you away on first listen, but it has hidden depths! It's fairly low output, but a little bit snarlier and more aggressive than a Mule or SM, from what I've read and heard. It's very versatile (especially with a series/parallel switch) and yes, it'll do Angus!
I only have the bridge model, in my one-pickup SG-X, so I don't know about the neck model.

Yes, their former guitarist Derek Frigo died in 2004, sadly. He'd been out of the band for years but turned up on the odd track occasionally. And they've fallen out with Donnie Vie, so (AFAIK) Johnny Monaco is now guitarist and singer (edit: seems Donnie is back!).
They've had a weird career - a bit of early success then almost forgotten, but they've somehow managed to release 11 studio albums, a couple of live ones and a couple of best-ofs.
-
Early 90's rock band Candelbox. They had some hits and played a good live show. I may get a chance to see them Sat. night do a benefit concert for Autism.
I think Candelbox broke up around 1997 and got together for a few shows last year and now this.

I was a bit disappointed with Ragnarok, but only because I loved Eric The Red so much - especially the track Ramund Hin Unge. The vocals on that are just brilliant!

haven't been in banbridge lately, but probably something to do with all the unconcious sixteen year olds littering the pavement on a saturday night! :lol:
does sound a it bizarre though, "you can only drink if you can prove you are a widely travelled and experienced individual. we will require proof that you have been to at least four countries, a c.v., and a report from your doctor declaring that you are not likely to become an alcoholic".

Yeah, well its probably just how I'm feeling at the minute - I love the first album but I've listened to it so much I'm getting a bit bored of the songs on it. I'll get bored of this one soon :lol:

CD or LP?
MoFi are outstanding.
-
they dont have the new megadeth... so i got the new threshold instead
HOLY $%&#, it's great!
the opener is pure kickass threshold WITH GROWLING!!! it doesnt get better than that. your head just starts banging away.
what's more :D i'm seein em live in 2 months hehehe.
-
I am listening to the album Warren Cuccurullo 'Thanks To Frank' currently a hell of a lot. It's and incredible album! A hard rock classic!
-
CD or LP?
MoFi are outstanding.
Yep, they are the Gold Standard in CD reproduction.
I picked up the CDs, as I listen to em at work. They are both Ultradisc IIs, by the way.
-
The Blackening is on my playlist again - Superb!
-
Been listening to Porcupine Tree since about 10:30 tonight, I love it. In Absentia is a great album.
-
I've just been doing the whole "Let's look up the songs that inspired the pickup names thing". So far I'm loving "Cold Sweat" by thin Lizzy, totally nailed what I'm looking for in terms of a guitar sound....now if I just had the money for the pickups :cry:

The new White Stripes song - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1Fwi0CXhNA :D
The White Stripes were at the Home Entertainment expo in NYC last weekend with a laquer of their new song, which we played for them and some execs from Warner Bro.s ... I didn't really care for the song, but it was cool to see they are so into LP playback!!
-
Just been listening to Chicken Shack's 100 Ton Chicken (japanese CD), and jamming along on the Zemaitis Clone with Emerald/Mule and using the Silver Jublilee/Ear Candy with Sidewinders. I can get all the old blues tones with this setup, including the ice pick clean with sustain!
Add the Klon Centaur or HBE Powerscreamer and an old Wah Wah and now I am into the Stevie Ray sound (and curiously enough, had him on next). Just for a change of pace, I have the essential Iron Maiden coming up next!
-
A lot of the Smashing Pumpkins stuff again.. their new song, Tarantula, isnt that bad actually.

Today is classic Anthrax day:
Fistful of Metal
Armed & Dangerous
Spreading The Disease
Among The Living
State Of Euphoria
I haven't figgered out what I want to listen to in the afternoon yet. PDT_008
-
My all time favourite album!!!
Paul Stanley - solo 1978
To be fair - if you have never heard this particular album you owe it to yourself to give it a spin.
It is like Kiss without any of the dumb /stupid bits
Was the first Kiss related album I heard and it still stands up really well
Lead Guitar is by Bob kulick, and some of the drums are by Carmine Appice
(https://rs352.securehostserver.com/~kissarmy/images/products/78_large.jpg)
-
Good album! I was never a Kiss fan, but I bought the Paul Stanley one because it got really good reviews - and because I liked Bob Kulick's band Balance. I've also got Gene Simmons' single "Radioactive" (on red vinyl, with free Gene mask).
-

Simmons solo album had Aerosmith's Joe Perry playing guitar on it!!
Bob Kulick is an awesome player - I love he urgency of the sound of his guitars on this album, although both Paul Stanley and Steve Lacey played on certain tracks (Lacey was also the guitarist on Simmon's Radioactive)
Bob Kulick is Bruce Kulick's brother (although it may be half brother)
Another great project he did was Blackthorne with Graham Bonnet on vocals
It's an incestuous world out there in the music biz

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works II.

I never heard the Kulicks might only be half-brothers - they look very alike (if you imagine Bruce bald) and I think they're pretty close in age. Bob looks a fair bit shorter though.
On the incestuous theme, Bruce was also in another of my all-time favourite bands, the Good Rats - although he only played on probably their worst album... :?
Meanwhile, this evening I am listening to:
Tyketto - Strength In Numbers
Baby Animals - Baby Animals
and some "hipster metal":
Early Man - Closing In
The Sword - Age Of Winters Good stuff, if a bit samey.
Today is classic Anthrax day:
I haven't figgered out what I want to listen to in the afternoon yet.

Persistence of Time

Stomp 442
Volume 8: The Threat Is Real
We've Come for You All
Or do you prefer the early stuff Ben?

Afternoon Delight - Starland Vocal Band
Seriously, I'm on a severe smooth 70s soft rock kick. I was up late the other night, and this infomercial came on with all those great songs from my early youth... Band on the Run, Cool Change, Kung Fu Fighting. Ever since, it's been 70s pop. My wife's about to FREAK! Speaking of Le Freak... FREAK OUT!!.
But, in my car, where I'm winding up for work, it's Exreme III Sides to Every Story. Side one is serious good stuff. The other two sides I can live without.
I don't know if you boys from across the pond were exposed to much US 70s pop, but all I know is the Bay City Rollers is from somewhere's over there.
Off to Splawn-land now. Weedly weedly weedly, aren't chromatic exercises fun?!?
-
I don't think I'm suprising anyone by answering that in the affirmative. :)
I love Sound of White Noise and Stomp 442, but the albums since then haven't really worked for me. Haven't heard the early stuff for years, I've only got it on vinyl and I don't have a turntable right now.
-
But, in my car, where I'm winding up for work, it's Exreme III Sides to Every Story. Side one is serious good stuff. The other two sides I can live without.
Are you kidding?! Tragic Comic, Seven Sundays, Stop The World are all great songs!!
-
Tuh-tuh tuh-tuh Tragic Comic? Must admit I too have trouble with that song, and Stop The World. I think III Sides was a bit of a disastrous misstep to be honest.
I don't know if you boys from across the pond were exposed to much US 70s pop, but all I know is the Bay City Rollers is from somewhere's over there.
Oh yeah, we got lots of 70s US pop. '77-'80 was the time I most listened to the radio, so the top 40s from those days are permanently etched in my brain. Unfortunately.

.... if sleeping is your goal LOL!
But seriously, Ben. I was huge on Pornograffitti. I initially did not like III Sides. In fact, I put it away for years and recently drug it out. I hear so many different things on side one. I hear Beatles, I hear Jimi, but it's all in Nuno's style. Listening to that (and Porno), Nuno definitely carved out his own distinct style. The guy is just nuts - and I would move him up into the "great musician" category, not just a great guitarist. Then you consider the diversity of the other two sides. I think Nuno just blew the wad on that CD. What else was left for Extreme to do? Truly a great great underappreciated CD. I have to say I love the guitar tone on side 1 also - sounds very QR Gear 1 to my ears anyway.
Nuno did in 3 albums what I couldn't do in 3 lifetimes.
We'll have to agree to disagree on the other two sides though. Perhaps in another 20 years I will appreciate it.

Twilight & Jammer...III sides is a great album, but 'Waiting for the punchline' is a far better album overall

-

It's different in style, for sure.
It's a little too Weezer in some spots for me, but songs like Shadow Boxing and the hidden track are great. Cynical is interesting, but as far as hooks go, III Sides is superior.
-
Been listening to The Beatles' White Album this morning, its actually really good - I dont know why I never listened to them beforehand!
-
Yes Tom, I don't know why too! (shakes head and mutters about youngsters these days etc etc ). Lennon's fingerpicking on Julia is pretty cool I think. I bet you skipped through Revolution 9 though. And "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"-sublime.In case you don't know, it is Eric Clapton on guitar.
-
I agree, While My Guitar Gently Weeps really is good, I may suggest that one for the cover band, and I didnt know Clapton played on it.
And, I'll have you know, I didnt skip through Revolution 9! (shakes head and mutters about old folk these days etc etc) :D
-
:lol:

^ I would classify DOWN as more Doom than stoner, but the genres are pretty intertwined.
-
Currently listening to Symphony X "Paradise Lost" (I like it a lot better than the latest D.T. album)...
And I can't get enough of Frank Gambale's 1994 album Passages. It's really beautiful and inspiring.

-
Badlands, Ozzy, James Gang etc

I have been listening to the new Crowded House album as I am a big fan of Niel Finn's songwriting.All you young metal chappies would probably hate it though. I think the album is fab.

You're right. PDT_008
Seriously, I have Try Whistling This, and while I like some of the songwriting, the tempos are like funeral dirges!
-
Crowded House albums generally are a bit upbeat but this one is a bit darker than the others-there seems to be the Paul Hester thing influencing things but being a bit of a fan, I am just pleased to see them back.

The loss od Paul Hester is one of the reasons I have been avoiding the album.

Bloody hell! Is wimphem making a comeback? I had no idea these guys were still around.
Is the Night Ranger album heavy(ish)? I always liked their first album best - the songs were all short and catchy, the later albums had too many ballads.
-
Listening to the new Orange Goblin album again today, its so good. Huge riffs! I want to be in a stoner rock band now :lol:

:D It`s heavy`ish in places, leans more towards the guitars than the keyboards for sure, some great soloing going on but has that distinct nightranger`ish song writing. Poppy commercial songs. More like laterday Def Leppard !
But i love all that type of stuff, they call it AOR now check out Melodic Rock.com http://www.melodicrock.com/reviews/reviews.html This guy tends to be right more often than being wrong. You can click on the links connected to the album review your reading, invariably it`ll be a record company link but you can listen to some snippets of the songs before deciding wether or not to buy. Along with this Web site Melodic Rock.com is my fav, check it out if you like good commercial singable type Metal 80`s/90`s style.
-

he O.D.'d on prescription drugs in January or February of 2006. at one point i heard he had actually died! but happily rumours of his demise were greatly exaggerated! it's still not clear if M.M. will ever tour again, or if there will be any more recordings as this album had been almost complete before the overdose. it's called "4 Way Diablo" and is due in November. i know i'm looking forward to it!

The Who - Eminence Front

I recently bought a copy of Classic Rock magazine. It included a CD full of bluesrock tracks. The starter is a band called Pig Irön. Their new CD should be out pretty soon and when it does I got to have it.
Heavy guitar bluesrock riffs and a wailing dirty harmonica. Bruce Dickenson likes them alot too.
-
This month's Metal Hammer has a couple of CDs, one of which is called "The Great Southern Trendkill" (hmm, sounds familiar...) - supposedly southern rock bands, but there's at least one Canadian band (Priestess) and several British ones, including Pig Irön. All good stuff!

Much prefer her to Lily Allen.

I'm on a silly heavy trip at the minute, mainly because I'm going to see Napalm Death on Monday (and Duke Special with the missus on Sunday, but she listens to him enough for both of us).
Napalm Death and Carcass, mainly. it's great. Kyuss are creeping in round the edges though.

That's really untrue - Listen to Birds, it's clearly sung - Who talks in key?

I dont think we can take Joe's opinion seriously any more anyway as he likes gangsta rap :roll: :lol:
-
lol what is the obessession with kate nash, it's not even singing she just talks in a common english accent!
not that i'm a fan myself, but although her seeming lack of rythme and melody may seem cr@p, the offset provides something different I guess
like the intro to purple haze is $%&#ed up, but that is definately on purpose
i would rather be wiv your friends mate cos they are much fitterrrrrrrrr
am I speaking cr@p?

+1 I got her album & think it's very intelligent
Oh & the brothers of a feather album...blissed out acoustic versions of crowes songs as well as some classic covers

Little Feat-Waiting For Columbus- a perennial favourite.

Then I wont mention that the GZA's Liquid Swords album has been on heavy rotation on my iPod the past week then :wink:
Also the new Funeral For a Friend album is really good. Coming from me that is very odd, the first two were gash.
-

The Genius! Superb. I think it's the best Wu-Tang project out of the bunch, personally, with Raekwon's "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx..." coming in second.
I'm currently listening to a lot of Factory Records stuff as a small tribute to Tony Wilson (mainly the Durutti Column and Joy Division), and a few rap mixtapes as a tribute to my taste for rap mixtapes. Had some G'n'R on earlier too.
-
Little Feat-Waiting For Columbus- a perennial favourite.
I've also been listening to that, acquired on your recommendation!
Also I've just got the first four Foreigner albums, remastered, on CD. Double Vision was the very first proper rock album I bought, way back in 1979, so I've always had a soft spot for the band. They can be very schmaltzy at times, but the heavier stuff is great, and I'm enjoying Mick Jones' guitar playing. What a fantastic singer Lou Gramm is!

I've been listening to some stuff by The Hives, havent heard em for ages. this (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ZF1318xDPnM) song is great :D
I'm also listening to the pre-Dickinson Maiden albums, I think they were much better with Di'anno
-
agree with both statements, love the Hives and prefer pre dickinson maiden..good call
-
Prowler (first song on the first Iron Maiden album) is my favourite metal song ever. One of the first I heard on a scratchy taping from my dad's old vinyl. Ah memories.
-
Yeah think I had the first one on tape with Vh1 on the other side
-
I've got Sirius sattelte radio in my work van and I listen to the blues channel the most. Lonnie baker Brooks, Hubert Sumlin, Some old Chess stuff featuring Muddy, Little Walter and Bo Didley. Also Clarence Gatemouth Brown's "If you ca'nt Lie no better than that... You might as well tell the truth". Also the Jam band circuit... Max creek w/ Derek Trucks"Louisiana Sun" Moe. And the always stellar live Phish Tracks. Perpetual groove, and Allmans w/ Warren and Derek Trucks " Rocking Horse/Desdemonia. Fiery, Trancsendant solo by Derek there. Also heard a live Eric Clapton with good slide.. " Early in the Morning"?

today Tigertailz' new album, Thrill Pistol arrived! so i've been listening to that and the bonus disc of their unreleased 1992 Wazbonez album, which is brilliant! and by an extraordinary coincidence i'm going to Wales tomorrow! (they're Welsh, in case that confused anyone)
i know there aren't many here into glam metal, but i've always loved it, and Tigertailz are well above average at it!
-
:D never heard enough of Tigertailz material to be able to tell.
The singer in Threshold doesn`t sound like a typical Power Metal singer but thats good it gives the band anoher dimension.

Veruca Salt - IV
Exhorder - Slaughter in the Vatican/The Law

Recent Listening
Gomez : Bring It On & Out West
Cream : Disreali Gears
Talking Heads : Remain in Light
Orange Goblin : 5 albums (but couldn't tell you their names)
Soft Machine : Bundles (Allan Holdsworth really is a god amongst men)
PiL : Commercial Zone
Pantera : Cowboys from Hell
ZZ Top : Degeullo & Tres Hembres
However I feel I have been listening to the same old things too much, so can somebody make some suggestions to shake things up a bit.
But please not metal as I unlistened to metal on my mp3 player, and I have to be in the mood (which usually involves heading towards some sort of psychotic episode)

Yes he is brilliant! I only had my first listen today on the ipod but shall make a note of the one you mentioned to get also!
I don't know what song it was but he just sounded exactly like Jeff Beck, the tone and choice of notes, not an easy thing to do! Then the next thing he playing a jazzy style, incredible stuff!
Not got nods yet either but really like the faces, they're very cool.
-
Opeth - Still Life, Blackwater Park and Orchid. Such great albums, I still cant believe they use Boss for their distortion, they have one of the best metal tones ever imho.
-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joe Satriani, Super Colossal. Sublime guitar music!
Yes , Super collossal is just killer. I love the neck tone. i asked Tim how to aheive that tone once, and he suggested an uberwound trilogy. maybe One day.... cheers
+1 - It's really bloody good, isn't it?
-
This week I have mostly been.....finding out how dammed good hate eternal are.
-
Been listening to my new Pete Molinari CD.
It sounds a lot better now I realised that someone had been pressing buttons on my amp and it was only coming out of one speaker with the trebble up full and the bass rolled completely off :roll:
-
The JPT Scare Band, mid seventies stoner rock! 8)
-
Black Keys, Chicken Shack, Free and Wailing Souls (reggae in case you don't know them). The Black Keys have so much Zep, Yardbirds and all those 60's sounds in their music. I was playing them to a friend and he thought they were a 60's band he had missed! I have a lot of reggae from years back, I still love the rhythms in it. Chicken Shack and Free - just classic rock blues with a Les Paul, wah, echo and a tone of gain.... oh, and a reasonable amount of skill!!
-
Black Keys are awesome, Phil :D
I'm just watching some Rory Gallagher vids on youtube, so good - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Yml4V-zcf3A&NR=1

Weird seeing him use a non-strat style guitar in the Bullfrog Blues one though. 1st vid just makes me want a set of Irish Tours for my strat, and whatever amp he was using!

The Black Keys! I bought their Rubber Factory album a couple of years back and it's just so good. Robert Plant recommended them in Uncut magazine and they put the track grown so ugly on the freebee cd.

I ordered that JPT Scare Bands CD last night after just having a few mp3's for last few years. The guitar player is an impov' master, really worth checking out, they have some clips on their page.
Try the track Sleeping Sickness.
-
I'm stuck at work as I'm on-call, but I have the wonders of the Young brothers and a mad geordie (or a barmy Scot) to keep me company........
Whole Lot Of Rosie blasting out of the iPod right now!!!
Just loaded The War Of The Worlds onto the iPod too, so I might move into that later on. Sad as some of you metallers might think that is there is actually some damn good guitar on that when you listen to it. Very cool!
-
:D WotW has some great playing not just guitars but every instrument. One of the greatest albums ever released.
:D 8)

Sorry guys, never heard of 'em. I am getting old. :cry:
I see Amazon describe them as "a hybrid mix of drum 'n' bass, nu-skool breaks and classic rave". I can't see myself liking that. I don't even know what "nu-skool breaks" means. It's like a foreign language. :?
-

King's X.
I've got pretty much all of their stuff on random on my iPod and it suits every mood, from aggressive and heavy to spiritual and uplifting to introspective and thought provoking. I saw them live twice around 1989 (but sadly not since) and I've always been in awe of their sound.
IMO Doug Pinnick is one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time.

Oh yes! :D One of my favourite bands, seen them 4 or 5 times which is very unusual for me. I still buy the albums, but I've always felt they lost something when they split with producer/manager Sam Taylor after the 4th album.
-
KING'S X
I try to see them once per year, as they always come around to NYC in the Summer. I've met them before and after gigs several times, and they've always been super nice and appreciative, signed my CDs, chatted gear, etc.
Live, King's X is just MONSTROUS; what Cream should have been. Seriously. The live version of Monajam blows away most other instrumental tracks, which usually feature flash over substance.
-
I've had Kings X on the ipod this week too, Gretchen Goes To Nebraska.
I saw them live at Brixton in 1989, on a mainly all thrash bill, with Anthrax headlining (same management or something) but they opened up and were fantastic.
Also got my JPT Scare Band Album Past Is Prologue at last from the states, it's very very good!
-
saw Kings X once in about 1991 or 2, supporting AC/DC. i thought they were great, but typical Belfast crowd of the time, they got spat on. a lot. those scummy people put me off going to gigs in Belfast for many years, and when i started again a couple of years ago i found that now the security people are all c**ts and instead of spitting, the pricks in the crowd throw coins! i'm sticking with Dublin, even though it costs a fortune.
hmmm, rambled a bit there! oh yeah, Kings X are great! :wink:
-
oh man, so much Extreme is being cranked at the moment...
man I want an ADA MP-1

-
and went and bought after listening to a few tracks the joe Bonamassa album Sloe gin
-
Sloe Gin is a great album-has been in the car for the last few days -some great tones.
-
think was mentioned on here hadn't heard this one to went and bought it
-
Got Slow Gin the day it came out - stunning album! Think my favourite track has to be Black Night, although Jelly Roll is great too - makes me realise exactly how much I can't play acoustic guitar!
-
LOT of playtime this week:
Coheed And Cambria In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth: 3
-
Crowded House "Time on Earth" today. As many of you will know, I am a fan of Neil Finn and there are some classic songs on this album.
-
:D Yer Crowded House are well good ! :D
Heavy rotation this week
Foo Fighters D.O.A
Headpins - Line Of fire
:D 8)
-
judas priest - sad wings of destiny... still so fresh
-
Not usually my thing but I've been listening to a bit of Lamb of God today, Redneck has such a good riff. Still not that keen on the vocals but its growing on me. Also, deftones - My Own Summer and Be Quiet and Drive are the only ones I like, but they're great :)
-

I'm suprised.
Back in Black has been getting the most spins for me this week, mainly as I get dressed for work. Dont really have enough time to listen to music at the moment (apart from the radio) if I'm not busy practicing with one of the two bands, I'm practicing my own chops/writing, at a gig/pub or sleeping!
Andy!
-
I've had a load of stuff crop up on my ipod shuffle that I really love. This little gizmo has rekindled my love for the Klaxons, the Automatic and Lazlo Bane. And sticking the entire Led Zep catalogue and some Cream on it was a very good idea indeed.
-
Old school Children of Bodom, Alexi was so good back then, but now he is sloppy and bad tone etc. :(
Been listening to Hatebreeder mostly, but also Something Wild and Follow the Reaper. :D
-
Headpins - Line Of fire
I thought I was the only person in the world with Headpins albums (although if that was true, I guess they'd have been dropped after the first one)! :lol:

:D

Gotta Love Headpins

Careful! I used to live just up the road from Bonnie Tyler.
I know she made some terrible records, but she could have been a terrific rock singer if she'd been in the right band.

Alter Bridge - One Day Remains (looking forward to the new one)
Santana - Santana III Legacy Edition (with Carlos and Neal Schon - aged about 17 - on fire!)

Philly...got to love Neal Schon..Journey(even the instrumental album...and the early ones he sings on) through to Bad English.....not sure about the recent albums when they re formed or the one with the Steve perry alike on
-
De Madera - Aire y Candela... very tasty modern flamenco without difficult rhythms. 8)

I keep meaning to get more Journey, I only have a few (and they're mostly on vinyl). I like what I've heard of the early stuff with Gregg Rolie singing, and I absolutely love Frontiers, but then they went a bit bland and boring on Raised on Radio. I've never heard any of the post-Perry stuff.
When I was listening to those Foreigner albums a few weeks ago, I was thinking: Foreigner had great songs but really no memorable guitar parts to speak of, but Journey had the songs plus all those awesome sing-along guitar solos from Mr Schon. No contest really.

* Madman Across The Water - Elton John
* Tumbleweed Connection - Elton John
* Rocket To Russia - Ramones
* Made In China - Juliana Hatfield

Queen - The Game (1980)
In some ways the last good album they made - or before my attention turned away from them and onto other bands
Before that I was such a die-hard fan

I liked the works and that tour was amazing (they were very loud and very heavy - think Brian got to chose the songs) - saw them 3 nights on the trot at Wembley and was in the video for I want to break free
But I yearned for the old stuff - the first 6 albums.
Hot Space was too "black" and funk influenced & Kind of magic was a bit too poppy for me.
Had lost interest by Miracle and Inuendo
-
cradle of filth - midian :twisted: dude this album owns!
I hate CoF :?
can't stand Dani's vocals
i can't really speak on the band, as this is the only album i own/have heard - but this one is INCREDIBLE. i love the atmosphere - and how pure evil it sounds with the church singing in the background, the creepy synths and organs, and his voice really does it for me, although i can see how you would not get along with it. I just love that he sounds more demon than human. Really good range too - deep dark doom, to screeching high tortured agony.
-
I'm listening to some early AC/DC - the Australian versions of High Voltage and TNT.
I really like the first few albums - they hadn't quite developed their signature sound and style, so there are some different types of songs you wouldn't expect from AC/DC.
-
good albums
-
I've got a cd on in the car with Let There Be Rock and Powerage on it, so looks like AC/DC's in the air at the minute!
-
've got a michael jackson 'bad' tape i bought in a charity shoppe for 20p in the car. hails yeahs. all about dirty diana

Re listening to journey....especially departure and raised on radio
and dug up the hooters as well
-
Dark Tranquility - Haven.
-
I'm listening to the very best album of all time, again.
Goddamnit - by Alkaline Trio. I really don't care what anybody else thinks of this album, but i really want you all to give it a listen and draw attention to it because it is a modern masterpiece. Seriously this album is like my theme tune - every song has amazing lyrics that i can relate to exactly. If you ever get bored of 'feel good' music, and fancy a few songs about drunken loneliness, heartbreak, and the general low points of your lives there is no better work in the world than this theme for the masses.
Please guys give it a listen.
On the guitar side of things everybody names Matt Skiba as a pretty poor pop punk guitarist, but as a great fan of all his work - I've got to say he has an extremely unique style, and a very unique tone. Nowhere else will you hear such heartwrenching chainsaw jcm900 riffs. Honestly, although it's simple it is genius.
-
going through a post-rock/post-metal/whatever and other experimental and progressive music

i love headbanging like most of us on this site, but i came into rock and metal late - once rave gets you, it never lets go. i like stuff i can groove my booty to etc etc ;) thing is now i'm a metal fan too i cant help but flick devils horns signs at rave events :twisted: they both release the same chemicals after all!

yeah, if they'd stuck to the sex and rock'n'roll, it's the other one that keeps catchin' 'em out!

Total Guitar mentioned Heavy Trash - Way Out as one of the best albums for the past 3 months. I ordered it and I'm listening to it. Good old fashioned rockabilly/blues/rock n' roll jam album.
The guitar is an ES-135 Gold Top with P90's. Great tone.
Just a good fun album to listen to.

I bought that album around 15 years back. It's pretty good isn't it! Didn't the bass player OD or something?
I saw them supporting the Georgia Satellites (what happened to them)

Im listening to the new cd "air" from Agua de Annique
The former front woman of 'The Gathering' has a new band, thought it was time too. Im not really a gothic fan allthough i can appreciate good music in whichever form.

Foo Fighters - Echoes, Slience, Patience and Grace; superb rock album.

Randomly grabbed off the shelf:
Diamond Head - Death and Progress
Weird record - not bad exactly, but Diamond Head seemed to totally forget what Diamond Head were all about. Every time there's a heavy riff, it'll be followed by a poppy, oddly American-sounding chorus. No consistency at all. Sean Harris was always a bit of a tit and his vocals here are pretty awful, but I still like Brian Tatler's playing.
(Just seen there's a new DH album out!)

eventually we'll turn every thread on this forum over to Tigertailz!!
i've been listening to Original Sin lately too, along with Young and Crazy, the first album you mentioned (for those who don't know). i've never been willing to pay the (young and) crazy :roll: money it goes for on cd on ebay, so i've transferred my vinyl copy over to the computer and then to cd. i agree that some of the Original Sin versions sound better, but it's still a great album! i've been listening to their new one, Thrill Pistol, a lot too.

Coheed and Cambria, so catchy!

oh i agree. his voice is divine. and his hair!
have you got their new album? i want to get it but i hesitate because much of their 3rd i didn't like. LOVE their old stuff. time consumer and 2113 are awesome.
-
I'm getting it for Xmas, i've heard 2 tracks from it (the ones on their myspace) and it sounds really good, Running Free is so catchy.
Have only just got into them though, but am getting about 3 of their albums for xmas as i can't get enough of them at the moment!
-
i'd recommend their second: In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3
nearly every song is a gem. a proper desert island disc. they lost josh (their drummer) for the new one and his playing on the others is one of the things which made it for me, but i'll try the new one out, i hope its got some classic proggy bits.

Cool, Play.com does a 2CD set of In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth: 3 / Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Vol 1. for £6.99!
So that should give a good idea of where they changed from their older material.

Yeah, and he's not as good as either their old or new drummer, unfortunately.

Anastacia - Pieces of a Dream
I'm usually into tech metally stuff but I must say some of her music is extremely good. Not that kind (her first) was an amazing album. I remember getting it free with my first debit card bank account (when i was 11) and listening to it solid for ages. I wasn't into her self titled third at all but that first record she made (and the first four tracks of your greatest hits) was a corker.
-
Just like to chuck in Jamiroquai's greatest hits which i picked up somewhere very cheap. His music is quality. Favourite: Too Young To Die - that bass riff and those drums and jk's voice = funkky

Interesting examples of how some albums sound great after 20 years and some don't! :lol:
I absolutely loved the first Vinnie Vincent Invasion album, it was my most-played record of 1986. I thought their image was cool too :roll: . But last time I listened to it, I found it totally unbearable - all that screeching and, as you said, all the bloody solos are exactly the same! Mind you, the second album All Systems Go was much worse - I thought that was shitee even in 1988.
-
Cinderella - Night Songs and Long Cold Winter
Skid Row - s/t and Slave To The Grind

Somehow for the past 3 and a half months Def Leppard Hystera (with a few of the live shows of that tour) has been about 70% of my music listening.
I think I am addicted, its all just so perfect!
Is almost part of my routine... Walk out the door, put on animal, usually get on the bus by the time Armageddon it is on (Ok well I don't think you want the whole commentary)
Very shocked that its all I have listened to. but I like it :D

If you're a Yes fan, and you don't have this album, you should be ashamed of yourself!! (And you're probably not as big a Yes fan as you think you are)

haven't heard that. my dads really into them and hes played me some stuff but he reckons that the older stuff is the best. close to the edge and the yes album are just beyond brilliant records. then bruford left :(

-
Oodles and oodles of Queens Of The Stone Age.
-
Led Zeppelin - Mothership
OK, it's a completely unnecessary purchase, but I liked the packaging. :oops:
Still, it's refreshing to hear the tracks in a different context (although they're in chronological order). The emphasis seems to be on the harder-rocking stuff, mostly, so it's all killer, no filler.
-
whats the remastering like compared to "remasters"?
-
Hard to say, I'm only listening on my PC through headphones, but (like most remasters) its louder for a start - and there seems to be more clarity and, dare I say, presence. :roll:
I'm no audiophile, and I haven't got the patience to sit comparing the different CDs, but as soon as I put this on I thought wow, that sounds really clear, open and "big".
-
Eagles - Long Road Out of Eden. Pretty much constantly since it came out.
-
whats the remastering like compared to "remasters"?
Everything remastered by Page sounds shitee, because he is deaf as a post now and has no high frequency hearing whatsoever. Also, he gets yes-man George Marino (who is not a good mastering engineer to begin with) to turn the knobs for him, and you end up with a product that's fit to cut glass when they're done with it.
Stick with the original Atlantic CDs if you can still find em, as they are copied straight from the master tapes with nothing done to em. They arguably sound better than the original LPs, but that's another discussion.

:D I`m afraid so. There`s not a descent tune anywhere on the album, with the exception of United Alliance. Lots of very heavy De tuned riffing but nothing to show for it. The singer is reduced to screaming or grunting through thee entire album. The guitar solo`s are unremembered cr@p the production is very wishy washy, The drummer is totally unispiring when you consider how good he was on the last album this is a real disappointment. They used to be a black/death metal band & this harks back to that type of playing. lots of staccato riffing very fast but no real chord structure as such so there's nothing you`ll walk away singing. After 4 numbers i was yawning & getting very bored with it. Take my advice download this album & listen to it first before buying.

A nice melodic hard rock album from that odd period when Vivian Campbell was changing bands as often as his underpants:
Monday: Dio
Tuesday: Trinity
Wednesday: Whitesnake
Thursday: Riverdogs
Friday: Shadow King
Saturday: Def Leppard
Sunday: Ah, they don't smell too bad and I'm not going out anywhere, I'll stick with the Def Leppard ones....

Janes Addiction again at the minute :D I love this version of Jane Says - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nXKXL8OlpUM

Some great rock classics such as
Led Zep
Thin Lizzy
UFO
Cream
Really into Thin Lizzy's guitar work at the moment.
-
Thin Lizzy are SUPERB.
Emerald - One of the best arrangements ever.
-
:D Have to agree on Lizzy !
Crazy Joe note it`s the Bass guitar work on Emerald that makes the entire song work. Especially during the solo section where the two guitars are switching from one player to another. Its the Bass work that holds the whole thing together & its not a simple single bass note line either, Lynott was one of the best Bass players in a Rock context ever. Every time i work in a original band & a Bass player turns up & wants to be apart of it i ensist they must be influenced by Lynots Bass work or i simply wont have `em in the band. Lynott is the bench mark for me as a Bass player in a Rock/Metal band. Simply one of the most underrated Bass players ever as was Brian Downey on Drums.
:D 8)
-
Yeh the bass is awesome in Thin Lizzy, Phil Lynott is a legend!
And yeah i hate bass players who just play boring bass lines, i want them to do something and be noticed as much as the guitarists.
-
:D It`s always important for the Bass & Drums to hold it together, hence the term "Rhythm Section " Lynott succeeded in doing this brilliantly, & its for this reason all of you Rock/Metal players should be taking notice of Lynotts Bass work & Downeys Drumming. As you said not simple Bass lines but effective Lines all the same :D
:D 8)
-
As a bassist by trade, I believe that bass and drums should be locked in tight together and for sure the bass can shine out but the best players know when to and when not to.Nothing worse than a three way attention grabbing contest. Mr Lynott was a great great player and he took bass playing in a direction that moved things on for certain.There are a handful who have done that to my knowledge and probably tons more that I am unaware of. In my band I get a couple of solo spots which is nice-I play with two great guitarists who are also very modest and appreciate the fact that they could not do what they do without the bass and drums holding it tight and funky.

That should be tattoo'd onto every bass player's body!!

Black Sabbath - Reunion
For some reason I've hardly played this since I bought it - I just realised it was recorded 10 years(!) ago and they're still um-ing and ah-ing about whether they're ever going to do another studio album.
That's almost as long as Ozzy was in the band first time round. And they managed to record and tour 8 albums in that 10 years!

i used to DJ drum'n'bass on a semi-professional basis. anyway, since 2001 i got a bit cheesed off with the scene and didn't DJ that style any longer.
but the past few weeks my friends have badgered me to start again for their NYE and birthday parties so I set up my decks and had a little mix up, happily I wasn't too rusty. Playing guitar is a hell of a lot harder, and its easier to fall out of practise ;)
Anyway currently on the set list for my NYE party mix:
Justice, We Are Your Friends
Prodigy, Smack My Bitch Up
Pendulum, Blood Sugar
Madonna, Material Girl
Rozalla, Free to Feel Good
Billy Idol, Rebel Yell ;)

I've listened to Turbo through in one sitting. I like the good tunes on it alot, some of the tracks are pretty filler-ish though.
edit:
ok, i listened to Ram It Down all the way through now. What an ordeal. I challenge anyone to get past "I'm a Rocker" without feeling sick.
-
At the Drive in - One Armed Scissor. Great track.
-
Radiohead - The Bends
- OK computer
- In Rainbows
I just scored some tickets off fleabay and I've been feeling cr@p last few days, so these have been on repeat.
and My best of 2007 playlist
Radiohead - In Rainbows
Arcade Fire - Neon bible
Hold steady - Boys and girls in america
Kings of leon - Because of the times
White stripes - Icky Thump
Klaxons - Myths of the near future
Arctic Monkeys - favourite worst nightmare
-
Electric Wizard

Electric Wizard
Yay

Bad English - Bad English
Some good songs, but Neal Schon's guitar is just buried under the constant washes of keyboards and '80s over-production. It's so sugary it's giving me toothache.
-
Camel - Rain Dances
Camel
Moonmadness
The Snow Goose
-

I love the title track, but everything else on that album is tosh. Probably Priest's weakest studio offering, how bad would it be without that one great song?
-
& FWIW in the last week or so I've been on a bit of an Arch Enemy binge (Rise of the Tyrant, Doomsday Machine & Wages of Sin).
The ony other things I've listened to have been In Flames "Soundtrack to your escape" (or more precisely the song "In search for I" which for some reason I can't get out of my head :)) & Metallica "..And Justice for All" (which I've only recently got round to buying on CD & haven't listened to since my record player packed up a few years ago)

I quite like 'Come and get it'. My issue with it is the relentlessness of it, its so generic and cheesy. In my opinion nly 'Love Zone' is actually *bad*, the rest is mostly just average, but the album is a very wearing listening experience.
I'm listening to a bit of UFO stuff at the moment.

Leftism by Leftfield. I forgot how good the album is and I've been driving with the volume up at boy racer levels for the last couple of days.

Well as I was stuck on the M6 for a couple of hours this morning, I got through both disks of Mothership (Led Zep) and stated on a CD which my mate did for me. He thinksthey're called Battle, kind of Heavy Metal Folk - very strange.

Snoop Dogg. And lots of it.
And now, time for a change to Amorphis and Sonata Arctica.

AC/DC - Stiff Upper Lip
Blues done the Australian way.

random tracks from slayer, megadeth and (ahem)... manowar
the gods made heavy metal, and they saw that it was good...

I'm working my way through all the Black Sabbath albums, in chronological order.
It's cool to hear some of the lesser-known tracks I'd almost forgotten about.
-
judas priest - rocka rolla (under-rated i think)
ufo - strangers in the night
black sabbath - black sabbath
ah - the 70s :)
-
Ive gone all John Martyn at the moment.
-
The Best of Bruce Dickinson, CD1
-
Opeth - Blackwater Park
-
Psycroptic: Scepter of Ancients.
Cool tunes with the sort of techique that can surely come only from living in the bush with only skippy, a superstrat and marshall halfstack for company.
Shame about the vocals.
-
The Sword - Age of Winters. Great album so far, the world needs more stoner/doom metal bands :)
-
Weezer's Blue Album.
It's pretty average tbh, evokes good memories though :)
-
Steve Stevens, Tony Levin, & Terry Bozzio - Black Light Syndrome 8)
-
Meshuggah's new album. Really liking it - it sounds like a faster Catch 33. And yes, I will buy it when it's released!
-
iron maiden - piece of mind
-
An Evening With The Allman Brothers. Forgot how good these guys are
-
Black Sabbath - Heaven And Hell
Black Sabbath - Mob Rules
I've listened to these hundreds of times over the last 25+ years and I never get sick of them. As good as it gets.
-
Currently listening to some early Led Zep. Can't stop playing Rock and Roll either - so simple but just sooooo much fun to play.
-
Steve Stevens, Tony Levin, & Terry Bozzio - Black Light Syndrome 8)
Great album if you like totally improvisational prog. I prefer Situation Dangerous, though. Check it out if you don't have it!
-
I am currently listening to
Cumbrian.
Its a shocking accent that makes you want to make elocution lessons compulsory.
Basically, completely misponounce every vowel you can in whatever way you can manage and drop T and H altogether. Try and sound at least a little drunk, too.

Lots of Pantera

Battle music from FF XI.
-
Steve Hackett - Watcher of the Skies - it's a revisit of a lot of Genesis stuff, played live with a lot of guest musicians (including the LSO!). He's a very underrated guitarist.
-
OPETH - Reverie/Harlequin Forest
It's so awesomely harmonic and beautiful - despite the growly vocals ...
-
I like having a rental car, because today I knackered the speakers with Led Zep just a little (ok, a lot) too loud. Glad it's not mine :lol:

I was listening to Downtown Train the other day when somebody asked me what Tom Waits was doing covering a Rod Stewart song. I nearly turned into a homicidal maniac. :shock:

R.I.P. Phil
Heh, he also really good to a friend of mine (a real big Lizzy fan) who was hospitalised (and couldn't go to a Lizzy gig), not only did he visit when he was ill. But every time Lizzy was in town tickets and backstage passes turned up, and every now and again he was invited down to Dublin.
He was also very supportive of Sweet Savage (more local lads) which was the band that gave the world Vivian Campbell
Not only was Mr Lynott a great front man, musician and song writer, he was a damn fine person too.
A sad waste of a talented person due to drugs (and alcohol)

Piece of Mind, Powerslave, Somewhere in Time, & Fear of the Dark :twisted:
Finally got round to buying them on CD. I used to own them all on vinyl, but haven't listened to them since my record player broke in 2003.
Goddam, Somewhere in Time is a good album. I'd forgotten just how good - possibly my favourite "golden era" Maiden album....

Piece of Mind, Powerslave, Somewhere in Time, & Fear of the Dark :twisted:
Was that intentinally skipping Seventh Son... and No Prayer For The Dying, or just by chance?
I've never been that fond of Somewhere, for no particular reason. I really like Seventh Son..., but they were getting very proggy by that stage. I think Janick brought some new energy back into the band, but he never seems to get much credit for it.
They're as good as they've ever been right now, with all 3 guitarists! :)
-

Just by chance - I bought those four first because I always liked them best. Haven't got round to buying Seventh Son, Live After Death, Number of the Beast & Killers yet, but will do soon.
I probably won't buy No Prayer for the Dying because I never liked it (unless the collector mentality kicks in... :))

It will, I'm sure! :wink:

I have just taken delivery / been watching / listening to a 30 year re-union concert DVD of the ( 70s ) Welsh Band 'Racing Cars'.
They only have the one guitarist now ( Graham Headley Williams ) - but he still plays with consumate taste, skill - and sincerity . I met him back stage in 1979 - and he passed me his S.G. to have a play on without a second thought. Nice guy and great sense of humour.
It was so good to be reminded of a great gig at the old FFord Green pub ( Leeds) back in 1979 - and to hear musicians that play for the song despite obvious soloing talent.
Great stuff ... :D

Good man !
My favourites being 'Bridge Of Sighs' and 'Live'. Happy memories of the early 70s and damm good guitar playing / arrangements as well !
I am glad that Robin captured his best moments whilst he still had the great voice and Bass playing of the late James Dewar to contribute.

Live! is not only my favourite Trower album, but probably my favourite album of all time.
I also have a soft spot for Victims Of The Fury, because it was the first one I bought as a new release, back in 1980.
I am glad that Robin captured his best moments whilst he still had the great voice and Bass playing of the late James Dewar to contribute.
I've been watching Trower clips on YouTube, and it's amazing how quiet and completely un-showy Dewar was on stage. Just got on with the job.
-
Been listening to some Robin Trower myself; Twice Removed From Yesterday and Long Misty Days, both on vinyl lol. Good to hear his name going around. He is a great guitarist, extrmemly similiar to Jimi Hendrix i find, but adds his own twist to it. One of my favourite R T songs that i have heard is I Can't Live Without You, from Long Misty Days 8)

Yes, " I can't live without you " IS a brilliant track ! On an album that sometimes went a bit wide of the mark with things like the cover of "Sailing" and such, when "I can't live without you " comes on - you know that you are back on solid ground ... 8)
I also agree with Philly Q that 'Victims Of The Fury' is evocative. For me it was partly because it was the one chance I got to see him live - and close up to the front too. ( Robin Trower fans being so polite in a crowd situation :D ). I think his album art/design is also striking.
I still think that 'Live' - and the track "Daydream" on the live album is for me the orgasmic RT experience. He can still teach these 'young pups' a thing or two about creating an etherial atmosphere and the use of melodic controlled feedback .
Especially noteworthy as he achieved most of it as part of a 3 piece band .
-
I agree that long misty days was a bit off on the rest of the tracks, infact it's the only track on long misty days i listen to now really. I love daydream! But have only heard the version from twice removed from yesterday, i also really like the opening track from twice removed 'I can't wait much longer'. I am young and have really found my music tastes grow and develop in the past 3 or 4 years, after i found an old cd of my dad's A Tribute To Stevie Ray Vaughan', which led me onto the blues/rock side of things. I was just amazed at what i was hearing, especially from buddy guy and eric clapton on that album, as well as, of course, B.B king. It blew my mind

Glad to hear that your 'education' is being balanced well ... :D I used to be a hardcore Black Sabbath / Deep Purple fan, until someone took me into a bar where the local band where playing Blues. Instant conversion !
If you like " I can't wait much longer " and "Daydream" from the studio albums, then PLEASE check out the 'LIVE' album from the same era, where both of those songs get the extended treatment.

I have always known that the casstte was evil (after all it's only rust glued onto a plastic tape and moving way too slowly)
However I have such a grudge against Wishbone Ash, I saw them in 83 and they wahere amazing then went to see them in 85 and they had degenerated into a 7th rate metal band (I even got into a fight with another audience member who wouldn;t leave my wife (then girlfriend) alone.

been on a Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds trip today, having just got the new album, Dig Lazarus, Dig! which seems rather good. but right now i'm listening to Abbatoir Blues, which will shortly be replaced with The Lyre Of Orpheus.
needless to say, i'm in a happy giddy mood! :wink:

Mistress - In Disgust We Trust is my lunch-making music today.
There must be something in the water, since moving to Birmingham I've listening to absolutely tons of Mistress, Anaal Nathrakh, Narcosis, Napalm Death, Sabbath...

The water in this bloody city tastes disgusting. I can't understand how it can be considered drinkable!? I turn on the shower in the morning and it smells like piss - i have to convince myself it's okay to wash in.
Bad water makes us listen to bad music it seems :lol:

Well, you know how it is... the line next to you seems to be moving quicker, so you swap over, then find yourself stuck behind a group of German OAPs on a walking holiday who can't stop asking questions....
....actually, I think it was worth the wait. What a great album! :D

Stan Webb's Broken Glass
I saw Chicken Shack back in the late 80s. I couldn't believe how good Stans playing was.
-
I've seen him a few times, the last being in 2004 opening for John Mayall at Hammersmith. I met my mates in a pub by the river before the gig and Stan was drinking there with the rest of the band. When he overheard my mates wondering what time we should leave, he said don't worry lads, I'll give you the nod when I'm going!

Recently discovered THUNDER (how I missed these I'll never know) really great albums and you can buy pretty much their entire back catalogue on CD for the cost of a packet of opal fruits (sorry......starburst)

Some Black Keys stuff on youtube. Haven't got any of their albums but think that situation might change soon!

... dug out the most amazing thing I hadn'd listened too in a long time: Mike Oldfields AMAROK - you gotta check this outm what he is doing with spanish guitar and wah etc (be careful with volume, as he has some pretty extreme dynamics in that record)

^ Right on, hunter!
Most Oldfield stuff makes a great hi fi listening session!

I got the new Ayreon album (01011001) and it's not bad but I prefer The Human Equation.
I think the problem may well be that Arjen picked a group of singers who were very similar for the album whereas on THE they were all very distinctive.
Recommended to anybody after classically-inspired electronic folk metal set in space with a side order of cheesiness (Arjen is not the best lyricist but, writing out of his native tongue, he usually does quite well until you get to some of the really tenuous rhyming in there).
THE and 01011001 can't really be compared though as they are just different experiences entirely IMO.
-
i'm listening to some more Witchfynde... the "Stage Fright" album. I really like the style of Montalo, the guitarist. He manages to stay metal, but does some pretty indie-ish guitar work at times. Creates a very full sound. I don't really learn other musicians songs, but I might have a stab at one of theirs just to learn some his tricks. Maybe the song 'In The Stars'... the main riff is so fu_ked up, i want to understand how it works

I found that 01011001 suffered from the same problem as Universal Migrator and other earlier Ayreon albums.
The Human Equation would be very hard to replicate, and since it didn't really fit into the format of earlier Ayreon albums (it's more like Star One with added prog), I wasn't surprised at 01011001's fall from grace.
THE will always stand as one of my favourite progressive albums of all time, though.

Love the band hate the singers.
I do really think their work has real merit though; for example I think that Bland Street Bloom and Peepshow are really good (they are, however, the only songs I know where the vocalists have a go at singing and not screaming)

Any idea what they've been replaced with?
I do think that they are good at what they do but I just wish they would reign it in a bit as it's not the best they are capable of IMO.

Kris De Bruyne - Vilvoorde City

I've had a re-listen to 01011001 and it's getting better.
Perhaps I should give Fear of a Blank Planet another run as I hated that album on my first listen and have not given it another listen really.
Could be a bit like The Mars Volta as I hated them first 10 or so times I heard them and now Deloused in the Comatorium is now one of my favourite albums.
-
The Fall Of Troy. Erak is a genius. Wish I could sing and play like that at the same time :(

The Clash and The Ruts and still more SOAD

yeah insomnia is probably my favourite guitarwise. i only managed to get the two mentioned with singing so i listened to those more so i could sing along.
yeah i visit bulbs myspace regularally, he's a machine. and everything he does just sounds amazing.
i agree about the walk. that is tone. i need a podxt. i think the drums help in making it sounds unbelivably tight being midi programmed and they sound soooo good aswell.

its such a breath of fresh air in that musical context. i hear so many bands whose guitars and drums and bass are awesome, but then the singer comes in and totally spoils it. its so hard to find a decent singer. i should know :oops:

I love it - He's got the whole Sikth clean voice thing going on, and some of the more interesting voices going on aswell, meanwhile the guitarists are playing meshuggah half the time, in songs like Inertia, and then Sikth in songs like Insomnia.
Its sooo fresh, and sounds SOOOOO tight.
But I just can't get over how good their guitars sound.

I was listening to that the other day, excellent stuff.
Beel listening to the CD version of the 1st four albums for 2 weeks now, Damn you two (Blue & Philly)
Ofcourse I have now (only just) realised how much Thin Lizzy "borrowed" from them
-

Yeah, and I've been wondering if some of the early Rush material (circa Caress Of Steel) had a bit of a Wishbone Ash influence, too.
It's funny, I was familiar with some WA stuff when I was a kid, I liked it but only had a couple of the albums. But suddenly I've just connected with it in a big way - it's so melodic, even lightweight, but with tons of guitar. And so British sounding!
I'm buying the albums like crazy. Not sure if I'll bother with all the post Martin Turner/Laurie Wisefield stuff, though.

Rush toured with Wishbone Ash and have always cited them as a latter influence during their proto-metal period. (2112, Caress Of Steel, A Farewell To Kings)

Albums I went through yesterday (after midnight these parts by the way if any foreign nationals are confused)
Jethro Tull : Aqualung
Joe Jackson : Rain
Mike Oldfield : Tubular Bells
Thin Lizzy : Live album that was given away with a newspaper a while back (I won't say which as I'm too ashamed to admit my dad got the Mail, if only for the offer...)
It would have been more but rechargeable AAAs are a waste of time really and don't last long enough to be worth bothering with but my parents are getting at me for my battery consumption. So basically; I ran out of battery power.

Witch - Paralyzed
J. Mascis's metal side-project. I really love the first Witch album, which is a glorious slice of sloppy, ragged, '70s-sounding stoner metal, so I was quite excited to find the follow-up in HMV today.
But this new album is much faster and more aggressive, more like punk metal or something... I don't like it. Maybe it'll grow on me.

Hey hey! I thought you two would like The Stranglers!! :D Your first gig was to see these Kilby? I was obsessed by this band from the age of 11. Their whole sound mesmerised me so I'm well envious!! Where did you see them? My mate in Glasgow saw them at The Barrowlands and his Sister Karen snogged JJ Burnell!!
I agree Phil, his bass tone was just something else, it all came about by accident so I understand.
-
THE STRANGLERS!!! My god I love them.
My parents had 'Golden Brown' on Vinyl, and I remember listening to it constantly as a little kid. Amazing.
P.S. If you like the Stranglers, make sure you DON'T listen to the Golden Brown remix by some DJ. :roll:

It was in Belfast in Jan / Feb 81 and was a sight to behold.
Funny enough a friend of mine was told to fu*k off by Jet Black earlier that day. Apparently Jet was pigging out on his dinner just inside the stage door (for all to see). Needless to say he asked for an autograph and got offered some advice instead.
I also saw them in Alexandria Palace just before Hugh Cornwell left and I have to say it was one of the most dissapointing gigs I have ever been to.
From what I remember from a JJ Burnel interview, much of his bass tone comes from using 2 sharkfin picks. My daughters little Daisy rock bass gives a tone bery similat to the Peaches tone.

Check out the lyrics to Ugly and listen along. To those who don't know download ugly from the Rattus Norvigecus album, it's a fantastic song.
2 shark fin picks and a large marshall amp as well, didn't the sound engineer get it wrong when the recorded it but left the bass tone very loud in the mix as everyone loved it?
Here's the lyrics!
I could have read a poem called Ozymandias to her
Instead I lived for the moment
It was a futile gesture anyway
I was here, and she was here
Ana being broad, of minds and hips
We did the only thing possible
I guess I shouldn't have strangled her to death
But I had to go to work and she had laced my coffee with acid
Normally I wouldn't have minded but I'm allergic to sulphuric acid
Besides she had acne, and if you've got acne, well, I apologise for
disliking it intensely, but it's understandable that ugly people have
got complexes I mean it seems to me that ugly people don't have a chance
It's Only the children of the $%&#ing wealthy who tend to be good
looking An ugly fart attracts a good-looking chick if he's got money
(x3)
It's different for Jews somehow. it'd like to see a passionate film
between the two ugliest people in the world. When I say ugly, I don't
mean rough looking, I mean hideous.
Don't tell me that aesthetics are subjective. You
Just know the truth when you see it, whatever it is
Muscle power (x4

My small Queen collection. For some reason I never realised how good they were until now. Love it, gonna have to get some more.
Did May use AC30s on everything? I love the tone on Princes of the Universe, but it sounds a bit fatter and gainier than Tie Your Mother Down, Fat Bottomed Girls etc. Either way I think I want one now :P AC15 head is £565 tho :cry: How about a treble booster into my laney, would that work or do you really need the vox voicing and el84s to get the right kinda sound?

Prog rock meets 80s Shrapnel-era shred with a dash of Alice Cooper. GREAT STUFF for any rock fan!

Just got Rush: Snakes & Arrows Live - a double live CD recorded last year at Rotterdam, the same setlist as when I saw them at Wembley. Yes, it's very good :)

Football results, well Score actually......

The Pump on the latest Guitar Techniques CD. Think I'm gonna learn it.

I've still got Alter Bridge - One Day Remains in my car CD player ... a month after I bought it.
It's a wonderful album - even for an Old School duffer like me :oops:

Is there anything fancy or "limited edition" about it, like a digipak or DVD?
I've already spent too much money this month, so I'm trying to delay a week or two before buying anything else.
-
Rush: Snakes & Arrows Live
Is there anything fancy or "limited edition" about it, like a digipak or DVD?
No, it's just a straight up double live CD. Even the booklet doesn't have much more in it than basic credits & a few live pics.
Some might says it's a bit of a con to release a third live CD in as many tours, but I'm not complaining. They played "Digital Man" (one of my absolute favourite Rush songs) which made it worth the purchase price alone for me....
-
It's reached the point where I expect a live CD or DVD after every Rush studio album! But that's not a complaint. :lol:

Obzen - Still listening to it and its awesome.

Sleep - Sleep's Holy Mountain. Way better than Dopesmoker, which I thought was a huge steaming pile of turd :lol: Sorry doom fans, that album was awful and overrated imo.

I think there's something about Dopesmoker, it feels more complete than Sleep's Holy Mountain somehow. I don't enjoy it exactly, but I like to listen to it a couple of times a year just for the experience. Unless I'm pressed for time, then I listen to Jerusalem instead. :wink:
-
Nothing in Dopesmoker really caught my attention, I just thought it was incredibly dull. Prefer the more upbeat nature of Holy Mountain I think :)
Anyone heard the new leaked Opeth songs? I think they're great, The Lotus Eater has a really cool funky/jazzy bit towards the end :)
-
Helloween - Gambling With The Devil
(a fine album, as recommended by TO)

The Hellacopters: Head Off

the first time i heard the lotus eater i was absolutely shocked at how different it sounded to anything else they've put out... i mean... clean vocals over a blastbeat! and they've never alternated between cleans and growls so quickly! i think the tracks are really good tho, and they're still managing to put out something unique every time... opeth all the way.
-
I've been listening to Opeth pretty much every day for a week, in have all the albums now and i really can't say i dislike any of them. Also heard the new tracks, they sound a lot different but i think it will be a great album once again!
-
Kiss - Alive 1
Still one of my favourite albums some 28 years after i bought it.
Forget Alive 2/3 and 4 - the first live KISS album from 1975 is worth listening to.......
I'm amused that it is being rediscovered by players of Guitar Hero because of Strutter being on hat game.
-
Opeth are truly amazing... Ghost Reveries must be one of the most perfect albums i could name.
Also been listening to Transcendental by To-Mera a lot. Progressive Metal with female vocals and fantastic classically-influenced piano which imo we dont hear enough of in metal.

Golden Earrings album To the Hilt made me feel the same way for a mini moog, but only for the bass lines.
-
Turns out the whole of Opeths new album, Watershed has leaked now. Its bloody brilliant :) I'll definitely be buying this when it comes out officially.
I've actually just bought the albums of theirs that I downloaded before - I feel so guilty stealing music off such talented musicians :oops: I got Damnation as well, I havent heard anything off that yet so will see how it is when it arrives.
-
damnation is amazing. probably one of my favourite albums ever.
-
Maximum Security - Tony Macalpine.
-
Combination of Venetian Snares and Blood Island Raiders at the moment. Somewhat different to each other....
-
A combination of my fridge being very loud, cat sqwarking and the snooker.
But I was listening to Cold Cut all day. Going through a bit of a drum and bass revival at the minute.
-
Opeth - Watershed I'm really liking this despite not being a big fan of theirs. The songwriting and production is top-notch, and the new guitarist having a decent vibrato helps as well.
Veil of Maya - The Common Man's Collapse Not a fan of death growl vocals, but the music itself is some of the best I've heard in ages. Amazingly tight guitar work.
Joe Satriani - Crystal Planet Haven't listened to Satch in ages, and I'd managed to convince myself I wasn't too keen on his stuff. Listening to it again, I'm really enjoying it as music, not guitar w**kery.
-
Finished working for the afternoon, so Hot Rat's by Frank Zappa is about to be put on (before the wife comes home from work and tells me to turn it down/off)

Willie The Pimp is from Hot Rats, no? I love that son!

Q and Not U - No Kill No Beep Beep

Currently listening to:
the new Satriani album
Paul Gilbert - Silence Followed by a Deafening Roar,
The Formation of Damnation by Testament;
and the Buddy Whittington (John Mayall/Bluesbreakers guitarist) solo album.
Whittington gets such an awesome tone from a stupidly simple setup!
-
been listening to Bjork this last few days, because i saw her live last night! pretty good show, her vocals are actually better live than on record, and the 12 piece horn section was pretty cool. not a guitar in sight though :(
-
A bit of a study in contrasts tonight:
Mastodon - Remission
Hughes/Thrall - Hughes/Thrall
-
Currently listening to Mercenary while at work, but the albums that are doing it for me at the moment
Meshuggah - Obzen
Pure insanity. Meshuggah at their best.
Ayreon - 01011001
Prog rock genius, great vocalists involved (some of my favourite on the planet involved)
Decrepit Birth - Diminishing Between Worlds
Influenced by Death and Cynic but with their own sound, fantastic Tech/Death band
Iced Earth - Horror Show
Insanely good guitar tone, great album
Currently waiting for the new Pyramaze, new Evergrey (best band ever for me), new Iced Earth, and also whatever else will come out this year to kick me in the face :D
-
Currently waiting for the ... new Evergrey (best band ever for me)
Nice to meet a fellow Evergrey fan!!

Everything I could ever want in a band :D

Whitesnake - Good to be bad!!
Bloody excellent album - the first CD I've bought in years with no filler tracks, it's almost as if John Sykes was back...
Imagine the 87 album crossed with Coverdale/Page.
I love it. PDT_003 PDT_003 PDT_003
-
Yeah, I'm tempted to get that Whitesnake album, for some reason... and I haven't really liked anything of theirs since the Marsden/Moody days. :?

The neighbours cat making some very strange noises, trying to get my cat (Dweezil) out to play......... she doesn't seem to care, she's still sitting next to me.

Yeah, I'll get it quick while the limited edition's still available.
-
^ New Whitesnake album is a killer - Aldrich and Beach are on top form, and Cov doesn't sound half bad either!
-
^ It's the Reb Beach factor that's got me interested really, as I'm an unashamed Winger fan! :lol:
But I get the impression Aldrich is the main man in Whitesnake, Reb seems to be very much the "second" guitarist.
-
Yes, Aldrich is the leading guitar player, I would say - he and Coverdale wrote all the songs, but on the album Beach plays a few nice solos, and it works very well, because of how much his style contrasts with Aldrich's.
-
Opeth - Damnation. I've only listened to a few tracks but it's awesome. Very different to a lot of their other stuff but I really like it. I've started buying CDs again instead of downloading them, I was starting to feel guilty about stealing good music :lol: :oops: So I'm starting to buy all the good albums I've downloaded. Plus it looks cool, having a full cd rack.
-
I'm also an Unashamed Winger fan PDT_003 and hell, Reb Beach PWNZ!1!.
I'm listening to a bit of Winger these days. Anyone remember the track 'Rainbow in the rose'?
-
Pete Molinari's new album. Got a bit of a 50's thing going on but I like it.
-
Morcheba - there's something about a sitar and a resonator playing together that sounds awesome
-
Primus - Welcome To This World
-
Whitesnake - Good to be Bad
OK, so I did buy it, and I'm finding it quite strange. The songs are really good, and I like the guitar playing... but what in the name of all that's holy has happened to Coverdale's voice? He sounds fine most of the time, but sometimes he's really high and thin. And every now and then he drops into his old lower register, and suddenly he sounds like he's gargling a bucket of phlegm. Has he had throat surgery or something?
And the production is bizarre - really dense and murky. The guitars and vocals are half-buried in a big rumble of bass and keys - the guitar tones don't have any edge or clarity. Except maybe the last track, which is a bit more like the old days when Coverdale wasn't afraid to have a really sparse production, with his voice "naked" at the front of the mix. I really should have Lovehunter and Ready an' Willing on CD....

Ondskapt - Dodens Evangelium

Going through a Neil Young phase right now.

I've become re-obsessed with
Eric Clapton "Pilgrim"
A really under-rated album with some very contemporary r&b flavours to his blues.

Going through a Neil Young phase right now.
Those can last years!
Love NY!!!!

Neil Young songs have mysteriously been popping in my head for the last few days, this confirms it.... gonna have to put harvest back on the phone for the walk to work tomorrow

Okay, I've now played the album 3 times through today and am almost ready to write up a review on the latest DOKKEN platter, Lightning Strikes Again.

I could do the same - I rather like it
Certainly a lot better than Hell To Pay and more in the Lynch era stylewise
This week it's been
Songs From The Sparkle Louge - Def Leppard
Good to be Bad - Whitesnake
Lightning Strikes Again - Dokken
Running Wild - Airbourne
Oh and the remaster of KISS Alive!
-

Well, I'll be looking for your input when I post it! :)
Without tipping my hand, I will say that this is the Dokken album fans have been pining for since BFTA, and it delivers on almost all counts.

Dear Penis by Rodney Carrington............ just found a load of music that used to be on my computer at uni.
Ohhh, it's Old Love by Clapton now.

Really getting into these guys - Awesome tone, epic songs.

I'm still undecided on Rush. Sometimes I think they're great but then I get sick of Geddy Lee's voice and Lifesons tone :lol:
I've been on a bit of a thrash metal kick today, listening to Coroner - Semtex Revolution as we speak, the main riff sounds like a good rhythm guitar workout.

Depends on what era of Rush you like. You can generally divide Rush's output into the following categories:
Early era, very big Zeppelin influence: Rush, Fly By Night, Caress Of Steel
(Ric bass, Slingerland/Ludwig drums, lots of fuzz tone guitar; very high singing!)
Progressive era: 2112, A Farewell To Kings, Hemispheres, Permanent Waves, Power Windows
(Expansive arrangements, some of their most technical material)
Synth era: Signals, Grace Under Pressure, Power Windows, Hold Your Fire
(Lots of great 80s synth tones, 'big '80s' production; change from Gibsons to Fender Strats, Marshall to Gallien Krueger amps)
Modern era: Presto, Roll The Bones, Counterparts, Test For Echo
(Strats, Signature guitars, and finally PRS guitars; very high end production value; shorter songs that feature a lot more social commentary)
Neo Peart era: Vapor Trails, Snakes & Arrows
(Albums made after Peart's recovery following the tragic loss of his family. Back to Les Pauls for Lifeson!)
-
^
What Ben said! :D
My personal favourites are Permanent Waves (the first one I bought as a new release, back in 1980) and Moving Pictures (often regarded as their definitive album).
Rush are one of the very few bands who (IMO) have never released a by-the-numbers, treading-water kind of album, and after over 30 years their new stuff is absolutely as vital as ever.
My least favourite period was the mid/late 80s when Geddy was using a lot of synths - Grace Under Pressure, Power Windows, Hold Your Fire. They started going back to a leaner, more guitar-based sound on Presto and Roll The Bones, but for me the real return to top form was Counterparts, which I love (I seem to be in a minority in regarding that particular album as a landmark, but whatever).
The other big thing to note with Rush is that they've punctuated each "phase" of their career with live albums - nowadays they seem to release a live set after every studio one! The live albums are all well worth getting.
-
Cheers Philly and Ben. My first reaction was wow. My second reaction was c*ap as I realised that I will be losing a few months of my life just listening to Rush - your comments have helped me build a plan of attack though!!

On the version on Live Bites the band absolutely nails it. Schenker's solo is masterful. Makes me proud to be a V player, and a european.

I did the bad thing and downloaded it but I will definitely be buying it as soon as I have time to get to a CD shop (assuming it's out yet, the Satriani album took about a month to get released here).

This (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=T2-EGFS4-ck&feature=related) was posted on hc yesterday and I really like it for some reason, especially when he starts using the looper later on.

ugh, it sounds so tinny and horrible!!
Very much enjoying Sevendust (all thereof). The tone on their latest album is really nice, although I prefer the music on their first album.

I thought you may comment on the telecaster :D I like the tone when it gets into it, the lead kinda thing he does. Mark, that Joseph Arthur video is indeed much better use of the looper.
I've just received my Indian Summer discography as recommended by indy. I've allready heard most of it but it's great, even when the vocals are shite it just fits! The packaging is awesome and yes once again I was sad enough to take photos :P

On a side note, we should consider starting a new thread & locking this one at some point - really big threads screw the performance of the search engine (& thus the entire forum).

I'm listening to Fugazi - 13 Songs now. I dont know why I didnt like this the first time I heard it, it's great.
-
60s surf band The Centurions - they did the heroin shoot up music in Pulp Fiction - awesome

I'm on the Fugazi and Indian Summer with _tom_ tonight. Great taste my good man!

Disturbed - Indestructible
Sounds identical to all their other albums. But I like all their other albums.

I'm still having a Neil Young phase.

Turning Where Next Columbus? into a dreaful, boring, vitriol-less piece of twee shite provokes disgust (and frankly, a touch hostility :lol: ) in me.

I'm going to let you down a bit, Ben. I remember Quartz, and I know Geoff Nicholls went on to be Sabbath's semi-official keyboard player, but the only thing I actually have with them on is the Muthas Pride 12" EP. And maybe a couple of tracks on NWOBHM compilations.

That is the best time period for music, imo.
The first album is hit or miss. It was produced by Iommi, and Brian May guest guitars on the song Circles. The songs Mainline Riders and Pleasure Seekers from the s/t are great.
By the 3rd-4th album, it's all good.
-
I shall check it out. In fact I think I've had at least one of their albums on my Amazon wishlist for years.

Ah how sweet - listen to the pensioners talking about the good old days... Why not listen to some real music?! Oasis FTW \o/

Def Leppard - High 'n' Dry
Main riff in 'Let it Go' = PURE TONE! I wonder what the rig is.
pure cutting edge up to date stuff! (ahem)

Ozzy live with Zakk recently, live n loud, and a bit of Budokan.
I think Let it go is straight in to 100w JMP's, maybe the line is boosted a little bit.
I love that song!

I wonder if the Explorer has T-Tops or Dirty Fingers... Probably T-Tops.

I think they use a similar backline
And I think the explorer may have been a Hamer standard?

No reason not to like both. Clutch is my favourite (post 1970s) band, but I still listen to horrid, spandex straining, cliche ridden '80s pomp nonsense. :wink:
Anyway, High 'n' Dry had the spandex (everyone did in 1980) but not a trace of pomp. It's just a stomping hard rock album.

Review coming soon ...
I heard this ages ago, as such, my review is already formulated:
Do not waste your money on this abysmal record. It's everything bad about the trad/power metal traditions (which to be fair, IS pretty much EVERYTHING) in one glorius Spinal Tap-level arse-up. Hell, if you're the biggest Priest fan in the world you should be ambarrased that your favourite band have produced this tripe.
I think it's more than fair.

Nostradamus...
And I'm not in the least embarrassed :D
Well done chaps!
I'm not really into "metal" as such, but Judas Priest was the second gig I ever went to, back in 1980, and I've had a soft spot for them ever since. Angel of Retribution was OK, but it's not the sort of thing I'd listen to very often.
But this little offering, I had to get it the moment it came out, and I'm enjoying it very much. (Still not embarrassed!)
I thought it was going to be a bit dire with a couple of OK songs. But I like it all. It's not quite up there with Tommy and Lamb Lies Down but I think they've actually pulled it off.
I have to admit though, if it wasn't the Priest, I'd think it was a load of old b*llocks and I'd put the Lynyrd Skynyrd back on...!
-

For me, it's mostly a mish-mash of oldies from my library and some recently downloaded stuff:
-Bartok: Violin Sonatas
-Liszt: piano concertos, etudes, hungarian rhapsodies, the lot!
-Unexpect: In a Flesh Aquarium
-Cult of Luna: Eternal Kingdom
-Bloodbath: The Wacken Carnage
-Flametal: Master of the Aire
-Textures: Silhouettes
-Quo Vadis: Defiant Imagination
-Scale the Summit: Monument
-John Zorn: 12 of the 100+ albums he's released :( can't find any more!
-Opeth: bits and pieces from the discography... seeing them in September! \m/
-Farmakon: Robin

It is more a comment about my lack of open mind about some genres of music, though (or lack of time to investigate them) - I think I'm getting old :?
I would definitely give it a go Phil.
-
OK, it's ordered. Deluxe Edition of course! :wink:
I also ordered Camel's The Snow Goose by way of contrast.
-
Now playing, Unearth - the oncoming storm.
Guitars widdling a bit too much, not overly keen on the guitar tone, but on this record it's better than some of their others. Aside from that, superbly put together tracks, amazing drumming, I-WANT-THAT-SINGER vocals and otherwise, a thoroughly good listen!!

Southern harmony & musical companion - the start of the blues-y country style
Shake your money maker - Blues rock n roll at it's finest!
3 snakes & one charm - trippy & the 'druggy' album, but girl from a pawnshop makes this an essential purchase
Marc Ford was a major part of why they were so good so it might be worth checking out his solo albums
It's About Time
Weary and Wired

Steve Winwood-Nine Lives

Judas Priest - Nostradamus
Yeah, I got it too :lol: . Absolutely no idea what I think of it on first listen - it does sound great, but I couldn't say if I'm actually going to find any of the songs memorable or not. There's a lot to take in!
The book, though, is absolutely amazing! I'm a sucker for a bit of fancy packaging...

A bit Johnny and some really classy stuff from him dotted around . I am not a huge fan of the band but I saw it in HMV for £7 and bought it on spec.I've got a few of their 1970's albums but I really rate this one as up there with the best of their stuff.I am going to have to listen to the Pistols now to get my sense of balance back.

I was really into them for a little while, up to Make Yourself, then I found Morning View a bit too mellow and only played A Crow Left of the Murder... a couple of times. I should dig the CDs out again and give them another chance.

Nostradamus :)
I've decided my favourite tracks are everything from 'Dawn Of Creation' until the end of 'Revelations', 'Persecution', 'Nostradumus' and 'Future of Mankind'

I'm now listening to Bon Jovi - Slippery When Wet :lol: It's so bloody cheesy but catchy as well :oops: Well, at least its not Toto!
That's weird, I just started working at Tesco last week aswell. We always have to listen to chav beats tho as the boss is totally into dance music :shock:
haha that sounds more like torture! We get to put whatever we want on (night shift so the shops closed) so long as it isnt offensive or everyone else hates it! Sadly there are a lot of older people, dont think they'd enjoy listening to the same stuff as us :(
-
Just bought 'Erotic Cakes' by Guthrie Govan. It's amazing. I'm loving the track 'Fives' 8)
-
Anthrax - Stomp 442
Bob Mould - Black Sheets of Rain

a late night listen to "7th Son of a 7th Son"

I must admit, that's the first time in recent posts you've mentioned a band I've actually heard of!

Currently loving Nachtmystium.
Black Metal meets Pink Floyd. I like the older stuff from this band too. Reminds me of Burzum. He was real nice chap wasn't he. :P

Priest ... Live!!!
Put it on my headphone-thingy the other week - it suddenly appeared after One More From the Road this morning on the way in to work.
I'd forgotten how good it was :D

The wife hoovering while I pretend that I'm sat here working PDT_012

Starting to feel a bit guilty though, think I might go and help

HORSE The Band - Rly Kewl.

How many posts can they fit on a page?
Who's going to be first on page 100???
Ooo, oooo! :o
Oh yeah, listening to Ludivico Einaudi... (ripping the wife's CD so she can put it on her headphones) quite pleasant.
-
It'll be good when it does get to 100 pages as it is JT's thread . Meanwhile I have been listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd for some reason.Reminds me of a girl, a sleeping bag and being 16.

This week I have been mostly listening too
Black Crowes - Southern Harmony...... (Great tones on this)
Four Horsemen - Nobody Said it was easy

I really dont get Dr Who.. it just seems like a really bad sci fi show with cr@p acting and effects.. I'm sure its meant to be like that but its not entertaining!

Ooooooooh but it so is! The B Movie style adds to its charm. Superb writing, and outrageous plots are what make it so good.
Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects - Been meaning to listen to this for a while, its great!
-
Two Gallants - Self Titled, What the Toll Tells, and The Throes
If I could play guitar like this chap, I'd be made for life. I don't know how he does it, and then sings at the same time! :O

iron maiden - somewhere in time
for some reason, i thought this album was pretty cr@p when i first heard it. on reflection, theres some killer tunes on here, and also theres a cool sort of melancholic vibe through out the whole album.

It's my favourite Iron Maiden album & one that has really stood the test of time (sorry, bad pun :|) - I defy anyone to tell me that Maiden ever came up with a better twin-harmony than the intrumental break on Alexander the Great or the end of Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner...
-
Still on a Killing Joke spree (is spree the right word? trip maybe? binge?):
XXV Anniversary show (DVD in the player, CD in the car), Pandemonium & Hosannas from the basement of hell.
Like the review says: "Few bands can claim to have changed the course of rock music. Put Simply, no Killing Joke, no Metallica, no Ministry, no Nirvana"

I've been listening to Killers alot recently which is probably my favourite maiden album. Somewhere in time is one of my least favourite albums by maiden tho, I find it really boring for some reason.

Killers is cool.. I like the Paul D'Anno stuff as it has more of a raw punk edge to it. I don't think Killers is as good as it could have been - I have a cool full length bootleg of the Maiden Japan show - and its outstanding.
Worst Maiden albums are surely the Blaze Bailey period, and I'm not keen on Matter Of Life and Death - Dance of Death was far better IMO.
Might listen to that bootleg I mentioned tomorrow. I'm in a real Iron Maiden mood after seeing them last Saturday! Originally I wrote off Somewhere In Time, but I've given it another chance, and its been well worth it - don't think it will ever be favourite though.

Steelheart
Particularly 'I'll never let you' go is stuck in my head

I much prefer the Paul D'Anno Maiden albums to all the Dickinson ones (well, the ones I've heard). Less cheesy and just better!

I think the best maiden albums by far are Brave New World and Dance of Death. Most are good, but have songs which let them down, but DOD and BNW are albums I can just listen to start to finish and never get bored.
A Matter of life and death is alright, very repetitive with the songs following the same pattern each time...
Slow clean intro - Dirty impacting middle - Slow clean outro. When I saw them live last year they played the whole new album and to be frank I was a getting a little bored towards the end. Then they played the classics and it was like being hit by a sledgehammer of awesome.
-

You can't say that, it's completely uncool to like bands' recent albums. You're supposed to like their early stuff, before they "went commercial"...
:wink:
But I agree with you. I think since Dickinson and Smith returned Maiden have been better than ever before (and I've always felt that Adrian Smith was Maiden's "secret weapon"). The arrangements they've come up with for the three guitars on the longer tracks are just brilliant. Also agree that A Matter of Life and Death was a little disappointing.
-
I also think Brave New World was BRILLIANT, just plain superb tracks throughout, and yes, liking recent albums is definitely uncool, but BNW is a work of genius imo.
-
I think the current lineup is and always will be the best. When I was first getting in to guitar I had the whole of Rock in Rio audio on one mp3 track and I would just listen to it back to back, I think it has something like 26 plays(of the 2 hour track), it has an amazing mix of the classics and the BNW stuff, fantastic.
Speaking of disappointing new albums *Cough* Nostradamus *Cough*.

I have decided to enjoy a cultural evening in the company of Little Feat whilst playing alkong with my newly strung battered old Strat. Sliding like a mofo ( that is hip street talk to you squares out there).

I only just heard Little Feat for the first time a few days ago and quite liked it. Cant remember the song though I'm sure it featured slide guitar of some kind.
edit - now listening to Down - Nola. So heavy :)

Pearl Jam - Ten (one of my favourite albums of all time)
Just out of interest, Tom, do you also like the subsequent Pearl Jam albums? I love Ten, but I think they went all abstract and a bit boring remarkably quickly after that. I still bought the next few albums, but I gave up eventually and haven't bought any of the recent ones.
-
tokyo tapes - scorpions
now to obsess about it for a bit: ;)
you know, since i found out about this album 6 months or so ago, its has rarely been more than a few days where i didn't listen to tracks from it. for me its the perfect combination of the more commercial hard rock sound the scorpions had later, and the hippy/krautrock sound from the 70s (particularly from uli of course). i'm also a sucker for a great live album and crowd interactions. some of the tracks are really emotionally touching of course, but theres straight forward rockers on it to. i prefer it to the studio albums of the roth period, since theres no studio trickery going on.
i love this album :D it hasn't influenced me too much on the technical level, of what notes the guys are actually playing, but the musical philosophy and passionate spirit is something unique and i think it has influenced me.
-
Nice one, gwEm. :)
It's just a shame they couldn't be bothered to fit the whole original album on the CD!
-
Yep, I like Tokyo Tapes for the same reasons :D
It was in the first batch of vinyl LPs I converted when I got one of those USB turnatables for Christmas -haven't managed to do Worldwide Live yet...

Yea I know what you mean, I love all of their albums but some of them can get abit boring. I was really impressed with their latest album actually as it seems to be abit more straight forward rock. Still not quite as good as ten but definitely worth a listen.

Nah I haven't heard that, I'll have to try and buy it. Apparently most of ten originated from a cd of just instrumental songs written by stone gossard which was sent to eddie vedder and then the songs were made from there. You shud have a read of that article someone posted recently about pearl jam, its really interesting.

Audioslave - Out Of Exile

Really? Thats my least favourite, the self titled is by far the best imo with out of exile being my least favourite :P
-
Yeah, I know I'm in a minority there :P .
The first album has bigger riffs and more all-around Zeppelinesque bombast, but I think Out Of Exile has much better songs and sounds more like a proper band. Then Revelations is good, but a bit rambling and unfocused - I suspect Cornell was already thinking of quitting.
I never expected the band to last very long, to be honest, but it was good while it lasted.

Black Crowes, Warpaint. Great album!

Do yourself an even bigger favour & get "Rush in Rio" on either CD or DVD. IMO the DVD is everything a live DVD should be - absolutely fantastic live performance in front of a manic crowd, wonderful setlist (the best setlist of all their live releases) + a documentary that's almost worth the purchase price alone.
Actually, what the hell, do yourself the biggest favour you'll ever do yourself & get ALL the Rush studio releases & all their live releases :D (except "A show of hands" ;))

Is that the clear vinyl "Evening Star" 12inch with Green Manalishi and a live "Beyond the Realms of Death" on it? Happy memories... :D
It's the first JP I bought, immediately after seeing them on the British Steel tour.
One the first non-Bee Gees records I bought!!
And it's the only piece of vinyl I've ever owned that isn't black!
I have to agree with MrBump though, when I finally heard the original Fleetwood Mac version 5 or 6 years later, much as I like JP's, they seem to have completely missed all the menace in the original.
Meanwhile I've been listening to Free Live.

Those youtube vids do nothing for me though. Jesus his voice is infuriating.
Maybe I will listen to the angry knobhead then :lol:

I don't have much interest in "DMB" but Maddox (the angry knobhead aka The Best Page In The Universe) has some funny stuff on his site (which isn't to say I necessarily agree with his opinions).
He hardly ever updates so you only need to visit once or twice a year.

ok philly ;)
10 pounds at the last witchfynde gig (£5.49 for download version). Cover art is slightly naff (in a good way!), as every Witchfynde release it is it seems (sort of high camp black metal style). nice colour booklet though with the lyrics and some photos.
on to the tracks, theres 10 of them, two of which are covers:
'Play It To Death' - pure NWOBHM of high quality, I love the main riff, its very them. proper guitar tone.
'Holy Ground' - another classy NWOBHM track which they're playing live.
'Elements' - not keen, sounds a bit like 'Death and Progress' period Diamond Head, listenable though
'Sticks And Stones' - good track, but doesn't quite float my boat, again very 'Death and Progress' Diamond Head style
'The Darkest Places' - the most meh track on the release
'Lifes a Killer' - decent, surely though Montalo has better riffs up his velvet jacketed sleeves
'Three Wise Monkeys' - yeah! like this one alot, pure NWOBHM again
'Shame The Devil' - cover version
'Love Like Sin' - dark sort of power ballad, good stuff
'Paint It Black' - cover version of the famous Stones track. its quite experimental, i'm not sure they pull it off. i'm sure many will love what they did to it... i'm gradually warming to it.
Overall, its all listenable stuff, nothing terrible. I would say three really outstanding tracks... Release is worth the money, I love the band and am happy to support them with this

Sounds... interesting. But I really ought to get their old stuff.

I love that track! The End Of Silence is my favourite Rollins Band album. They weren't the same without Chris Haskett, even though the bluesy/funky hard rock style of the Mother Superior lineup is the kind of music I normally like.

Nice one Philly :D
After a little shopping expedition last weekend, I'm concentrating on:
Wishbone Ash - Live Dates (had it for years on vinyl, don't remember it being this good...)
Ted Nugent:
Double Live Gonzo (ditto, but I do remember it being this good before my vinyl wore out!)
5 albums (nice little cheap "box set" thing - 5 studio albums in carboard sleeves "Ted Nugent" through to "Scream Dream", never owned any of these before.)
-
Wishbone Ash - Live Dates (had it for years on vinyl, don't remember it being this good...)
The remastered BGO version or the MCA 2-CD? (Just curious, I'm completely obsessive when it comes to Wishbone Ash! :lol: )

Double Live Gonzo (ditto, but I do remember it being this good before my vinyl wore out!)
5 albums (nice little cheap "box set" thing - 5 studio albums in carboard sleeves "Ted Nugent" through to "Scream Dream", never owned any of these before.)
Yeah, I got the Rory boxset, just working my way through slowly. Must get the Ted box, and maybe the Cheap Trick, BOC and Jefferson Airplane ones too!
-
It's the single disc BGO version of Live Dates Philly - didn't realise it was "re-mastered" but I was reaching that conclusion listening to it.
I thoroughly recommend the Ted box, puts a smile on one's face! It seems the first three ("Ted Nugent", "Free For All", and "Cat Scratch Fever") are all remasters, they have extra live tracks, as well. "Weekend Warriors" and "Scream Dream" are not though.
-
It's the single disc BGO version of Live Dates Philly - didn't realise it was "re-mastered" but I was reaching that conclusion listening to it.
The sound is definitely better than the MCA version, but to fit it on one disc they've had to cut out the little bits of chat between songs, which is annoying.
-
Gwyneth Herbert, "Between Me And THe Wardrobe".
Oh, and Jeff Beck, "Blow By Blow"...

Ah! I wondered how they managed that. I don't remember much in the way of chat, which is why I hadn't noticed...
I'm less familiar with the first Live Dates - although I love it now - I prefered the Laurie Wisefield line-up at the time, and therefore the sound of Live Dates II (and the fact that I'm on II, that's me at Andy Powell's feet at Bristol Colston Hall... :lol:)

It is a bit softer than the first one in places IMO, but it's got some really great songs. Devil's Queen and The Ghost of Floyd Collins are favourites of mine. It took a few listens for it to grow on me too, and I was a big fan of the last album.

Motley Crue - Saints of Los Angeles

I quite like it. There's some pretty strong songs on there. Mick Mars is a much better rhythym guitar player than a lot of people give him credit for. The lyrics are quite self-referencing in places, talking about their 80s exploits on the Sunset Strip, but I'm letting them off cos they actually did all the stuff they talk about for real! :wink: If I were being critical, a few too many of the solos descend into wah soaked feedback, but overall I thought it was a solid album - a good 7 out of 10.
-
I agree with you there, Mick is a great rythme player.
To me though, it doesn't seem like the real MC, its more a more dark feel, and more contemporary - I guess thats what they were going for.
The first few songs could have been better, it only really got going after S.O.L.A.
Definately agree with you about that wah thing though, can't stand them any more, that is the kind of thing that pisses me off. He does have an excuse to be lazy, I don't think he is doing too well though.

Right now its a bit of Hot Water Music, earler was my guilty pleasure Blink 182, so many catchy tunes :oops: :lol:

Nothing to be ashamed of there, they were masters of the catchy hook, and they must get extra credit for managing to work "sodomy" into a verse :D

fun, dodgy pop/rock..yeah kinda like them..but shhh don't tell anyone....also like LP and LProfits..just don't liek watching them..havn't got the hair for it

Thats right, Gilmour is on quite a bit of it. Tim Bricheno had left after the first two albums (I heard him say that he hated the stuff he was playing with them just after he left. He was talking to a friend of mine in Spectre Sound in Bingley). Which is strange as he has rejoined them again now!

Mortiis: The Grudge, haven't listened in a while, it really is very good!
and Finally, Iron Maiden: Powerslave. i've never been into Maiden at all. the only albums i heard before were Number Of The Beast, which i quite liked, and Fear Of The Dark, which i thought was absolutely terrible! but i've decided to try them again, and Powerslave happened to be the first one i came to. it seems good enough, i'll listen a few times and see if i'm inspired to pick up any more.

I wouldn't say Powerslave is necessarily the best place to start - it has some excellent tracks, but it also has "Back in the Village" (worst Bruce vocal ever, IMO) and "Rime of the Ancient Mariner", one of the most boring of 'Arry's extra-long epics. But keep going! :)

"Back in the Village" (worst Bruce vocal ever, IMO)
You think? I've never worked out what the lyrics were about, but it's one of my very favourite 'Maiden songs
"Rime of the Ancient Mariner", one of the most boring of 'Arry's extra-long epics.
Now that's something we CAN agree on :) although I love the guitar solo section (the bit after the spoken verse over quiet bass). IMO "To Tame a Land" from Piece of mind, "Alexander the Great" from Somewhere in time & even the title track to Seventh Son are better epics...
EDIT to fix embarrassing typo... :)
-
"Back in the Village" (worst Bruce vocal ever, IMO)
You think? I've never worked out what the lyrics were about, but it's one of my very favourite 'Maiden songs
I like the guitar parts, but it's one of those archetypal "galloping" Maiden songs - even though it is (was) their trademark sound, I've always preferred the more melodic stuff.
But mostly it's the vocal melody, especially on the chorus - it makes my ears bleed, I really hate it. :x
As for the epics, some of them tend to sound as if Steve was so fascinated by the subject matter that he wrote lots and lots and lots of words, then Bruce really struggles to cram them all into the melody so the words sort of stumble over each other (a bit like some Manic Street Preachers songs, where there's all that arty-farty philosophical stuff - again, too many words to fit the melody!). It sounds really awkward - and that certainly applies to "... Mariner", and "Alexander", I think. I prefer the more recent mini-epics, where there's more music and less words, like "Paschendale" and "Blood Brothers" (I do like the big instrumental section of "... Mariner").

Would I like White Zombie? I almost picked up a copy earlier of one of their albums. Saw loads of good CD's!

Hard to say, it's difficult to compare them with anything else! I only really know the major-label albums, La Sexorcisto: Devil Music, Vol. 1 and Astro Creep: 2000. Before that they apparently had a much more underground, experimental sound in the Sonic Youth vein (that's from Wikipedia, so don't blame me if it's wrong!).
Anyway, the albums I know have big, catchy, somewhat repetitive grooves (it's almost like dance music played by a metal band, in a way). There aren't many guitar solos but there are lots of crunchy metal riffs and little audio snippets from old horror movies and trashy B movies (which I love, so they made me like the band too). Rob's voice is quite growly but not in a death metal kind of way, you can make out what he's singing.
I never bought any of Rob Zombie's solo stuff, but I do like the films he's directed - even the Halloween remake!
-
I am also a fan of Rob, his White Zombie stuff is a little different, but not too much.
also like his films :D
-
I've just got the re-release of ZZ Top's Eliminator, without the ddgy re-mastering it received some years back.
What a great album!

Ricky Gervais Show podcasts. Hilarious, Karl Pilkington is a genius :lol:

It's a great retrospective up to Mirror Blue, and is totally worth it for the live material. And Shoot Out The Lights is a must-have for every music lover!!

I quite like them, great riffage.

Put A Donk On It - Blackout Crew

Going through a Zappa stage just now. Gotta love Zappa.
-
I go through Zappa stages, nut I'm generally relegated to the car to listen to it. The wife can only take so much.... same goes for Tom Waits.
Luckily enough she's on still away for another four days so I can listen to anything I want, had Lawnmower Death on the other day.
At the minute though I'm listening to I Am Kloot.

Put A Donk On It - Blackout Crew

The Moldy Peaches.......again...... and load, cause I'm working form home and I still haven't got any neighbours - YAY. Quality lyrics like "You scrintched up your face and did a little dance, pushed a little turd out of the bottom of your pants, I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else" Classic :lol:
-
I go through Zappa stages, nut I'm generally relegated to the car to listen to it. The wife can only take so much.... same goes for Tom Waits.
I have the same Zappa/Waits issues. I thought I made a break through with playing my lady 'Tom Trauberts Blues'. She seemed to soften in her opinion to all things Waits. I then played her 'Misery is the river of the world' and she changed her mind back again pretty quickly. I didn't even try playing Zappa after that.
-
Waits can be an absolute genius, then seems to lose it at other times for me
-
I've become obsessed with the who recently! Been listening to Who's Next, Quadrophenia and Tommy!
-
This week the playlist has so far been lots of old Floyd (Meddle & earlier) to pay some respect to the late Mr Wright
and SF Sorrow by the Pretty Things (the rock opera that turned up a year before Tommy)

Never got into Waits to be honest, but on the Zappa front I've always thought Apostrophe (’), Over-Nite Sensation and Them or Us are pretty accessible. Some of his other albums only get played once every 10 years...

Oddly enough I've just come into a Best Of Zappa CD and a Waits CD. I'm liking the Zappa stuff, but I think that it could be a bit tiresome. It's odd, because I got Steve Vais Flexible years (decades...) ago, and of course I can hear all the Zappa-esq bit now.
Waits I'm not sure about. Probably an aquired taste, I guess...

Have you got "Alice"? My wife loves that one. Mind you, she already had early Tom Waits albums when I met her - those don't grab me so much though.

^ :lol:
I did the same... but again, not literally
Right at the moment I'm concentrating on Howlin' Wolf - got a compilation the other day.
I already knew about all the "Chester Burnett & Willie Dixon getting ripped off by certain young white boys in the 60s/70s" stuff, and I know a lot of the songs, but what I hadn't realised was where certain styles of singing and arrangement might have come from... Tom Waits being a case in point.
See if you can get her into Howlin' Wolf first :D

Currently liking the new Motorhead cd. Can't beat a bit o' Lemmy and the boys!

I think this is silly. Massively over the top genre definitions are daft, but it's pretty useful to be able to describe in a couple words the ballpark something is in, even if just for reviewings sake, or to get it in the right magazine.

I'm trying to be polite and cause no offence, but i fecking hate genres and folks dismissing any particular music because of some arbitary genre classification (which is exactly what you did.)
It's a bit like placing Can in the catagory Krautrock, cos theyre German, but it really says nothing in regard to the music or subject matter.
If you want catagories try the phrase "similar to"
Anyway back to some post punk funk with just a hint of modernist
Rob...
Of course there is one so called genre that is worthy of dislike and that is the Urban ;)

Oh, startling, you made a tongue in cheek dig at a whole genre just like I did. Maybe I'll take it out of context and get my knickers in a twist too :P
And my point still stands, never aknowledging genres would make describing music quickly so vastly more difficult as to be ludicrous.
"I like bands like Enslaved, can you recommend anyone?"
"Sorry, haven't heard of them, who else are they like?"
"Emperor?"
"Nah, don't know them either"
"Darkthrone?"
"Nope..."
"1349?"
"Sorry"
"Mayhem?"
Nah"
"Never mind"
"I like black metal, can you recommend anything"
"How about Anaal Nathrakh?"
-
:lol:
I see what nfe means - it works loads better, even I could answer that question.
"I like black metal, can you recommend anything"
"Nope, next question?"
:D
Meanwhile, I'm listening to Irish Tour 74 (while wearing a guitar with Irish Tours in).

Checks his knickers (nope theyre not twisted) and indeed they never where, it was you who took offence at "Death to genres"
Genres tend only useful for those who are already immersed in that genre.
Power metal does that run @ 18V rather than 9V (better overhead) theyre arbitary terms and I'm sure there are so many flame wars as to what particular genre a band falls into (despite what the bands themselves think they are)
Yeah the Urban comment was to encourage a bit of normality for those of us who have no frame of reference in the apparently huge number metal sub genres (that often seem to be more important than the actual music.) Though thinking about it, it seems that "urban" may perhaps have even more sub genres than metal.
I just like music, some of it used to be called metal, some of it still is (I think) but for the most part it has loud guitars
Anyway it's back to Blue Cheer, I'm not sure if it's Proto metal, proto stoner, stoner, rock or psych but I like it.
If you gain benefit from sub genres thats OK but beware as some bugger will redefine them when you arnt looking
-
Checks his knickers (nope theyre not twisted) and indeed they never where, it was you who took offence at "Death to genres"
Took offense? I said it was silly. Then you got in with you're "I'm trying not to be rude" nonsense which, letsbe fair, sounded like "I want to be rude but I am short of a pair".
Genres tend only useful for those who are already immersed in that genre.
I'm afraid I just can't ever see that as anything but utter shite.
The number of times I had kids ask me at my old work "I'm just getting into xx genre, any cool bands I should check out?" was enormous, it's just an easy, fast convienient way of getting across an idea of what you're after. Instead of I'm after more stuff that sounds like, x band, x band and x band. It can get stupidly involved, of course, I see regular ads in Terrorizer for Scandanavian Pagan Folk Metal and the like which really push the realms of sense, but I don't see why there's anything wrong with having terminology to differentiate between Black Metal and Death Metal, Reggae and Ska, Classical and Baroque, Funk and Disco etc etc. If anyone can give me a reason why there is then great, but usually the best argument anyone has is "It just makes people closed minded or encourages people to nitpick what's what". Why anyone else being closed minded or belittling what other people listen to should have any impact on whether being able to classify music is a good thing or not is beyond me.
Aside from anything else, when I go into a independant music store looking for oddities at random, what the fuck section would I go to? :lol:
I just like music too, regardless of what it is (except power metal dragon slaying shite, obviously) but I again don't see why being able to define what group an artist falls into causes any issue there.
EDIT: Before you read any hostility in this, as you appeared to with completely jovial discourse earlier, I'm typing all of this smiling, just as I have said it to friends in the pub with a pint over the same debate :)
Oh, and on-topic. I'm lisening to Benediction - Killing Music
Which is probably death-grind. Maybe stick Crusty on there as a prefix.

Clippage:
Offence, it sounded like it from over here, but hey it's a msg board these things happen
THe bit about don't want to be rude, was becasue I didn't want to be rude, when I desire to do si I can usually manage it :(
I only find very broad genres useful you dont, thats fine I wouldn't know Black metal from death metal, but if I hear something i like I'll look them up and ask about them, the particular sub genre dosn't really matter to me (but thats my perogitive)
BTW I pretty much dislike all the 3rd rate Robert E Howard and HP Lovecraft imagary, but thats across many genres (being long in the tooth) ;)
Anyway this wouldn't even have rated a raise in pitch in a pub conversation..
Anyway the current music still Blue Cheer ATM (Stoner fans would pretty much like them) with some Gomez on the horizon

No, I've only just started listening to AC/DC. Picked up Powerage a couple of months ago.

It's not a crime, but you both surprise me! But Powerage ain't a bad place to start.
-
I listen to AC/DC, i have odd tracks off most the albums, i just have never listened to/owned a full AC/DC album.

Pain Of Salvation, The Perfect Element, part I ... progressive brilliance!!

Helloween - Gambling With The Devil
Still my "Album of the Year"
-
More Isis, this time the In the Absence of Truth album. I really like this genre of music at the minute, not really sure what you'd call it. Probably post-metal, whatever that's meant to mean :lol:
-
Queen - Rock Montreal
Every 12-18 months I have a Queen binge that lasts a couple of weeks, haven't had one since before I joined this forum...
But I think this might have started another attack... Nurse, the pills, get the pills... :lol:

i've actually been listening to St.Anger! drum sound aside i think it's a great album, much more creative than Death Magnetic. the new one may be the album they should have released 18 years ago, but that's kinda the problem. while St. Anger moved them in a new direction Death Magnetic is a clear step backwards. and given what Kirk Hammet has come up with this time around, did anyone really miss his solos?
i think St. Anger has probably Hetfield's best, most emotional vocal performance. the songs are more mature, more personal. it's a bleak, confessional, often painful record. it didn't sound like people expected.

Retro game soundtracks today.

The new All Shall Perish album, All That Remains album and the As I Lay Dying album. :)

Sonny Landreth "From The Reach". That boy can play.

I was right in my last post, and so was Philly actually...
Sheer Heart Attack
Listened to it last night in bed, and again now. What a stunning piece of work that album is. Night at the Opera, Day at the Races, and Live Killers are also in the multi-cd changer (get the wife's Barry Manilow and Neil Young CDs out of the way for a bit :lol:)
-
(get the wife's Barry Manilow and Neil Young CDs out of the way for a bit :lol:)
Not much wrong with Mr Young - what an awesome guitar tone he has on his more aggressive stuff.
(And ol' Barry has written some decent songs too, I have to admit...)
-
Iron Maiden, Dance Of Death. Cover art nonwithstanding, a great album.
-
SRV...
TONE TONE TONE

Still SRV. Still TONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH MY GOD. Why's he sooo good at guitar, and why does his guitar sound SOOOO good?
Why do I suck? :(
-

OH MY GOD. Why's he sooo good at guitar, and why does his guitar sound SOOOO good?
Why do I suck? :(
No, no, NO! :lol: You're not that bad. He'd have said the same thing. Just keep working at it, take what you can from him then say what you want to say. I got hung up on him a few years back - I don't particularly want to be an SRV clone, but I got hung up it, and I find myself sounding increasingly like him (not as consistent, good, etc, etc :( )- and this is even though I'm hung up on other stuff at the moment and not even thinking SRV.
Have you got the Live at Montreux 2DVD? If you really want to get some of "him", the turning point for me was the 1st DVD (the first gig where some of the audience booed him). There's something about the camera angles on his playing, and what he's playing, that opened it up for me. It's not that difficult what he did, but there's a lot of attitude (and practice) in it...
Meanwhile, I'm still hung up on Queen...
Live Killers

2 tracks from the upcoming Exodus release, they are re-recording Bonded by Blood!!!

To quote Overkill 'YOU'RE SHIITTING ME'
One of my fave thrash records of the 80's I even braved a Venom gig in 85 just to see Exodus as support
-
Damn!
Would have loved to be around in those days to see shows like that.
-
spotted The Clash: The Singles in tesco yesterday for £3! we only went in because my girlfriend wanted the new Boyzone cd :( happily, Joe Strummer and the boys saved the day!
i also got a Hallowe'en cd with Ghostbusters, People Are Strange, Johnny Cash's Ghostriders In The Sky and (the reason i bought it) Warren Zevon's Werewolves Of London.
so currently listening to the Clash. i'll have to dig out London Calling and Combat Rock again.
-
Yngwie, Perpetual Flame. Buy it.
-
Circa Survive at the minute. Not sure what I think about em, the music is great but the vocals are a bit too girly I think - do they have albums where its a bit more aggressive/gritty?
-
Chilling out today with Free - 'Free'.
Absolutey sublime.

Latitudes- bleak epiphanies in slow motion.

Got a bit of Deftones on the go right now. May be a bit nu-metally for some but I like some of the stuff. My Own Summer is pure riffage!

-
Listening to some vinyl today
Fire & Water - Free
Live at the BBC - Dire Straits

Shootout at the Fantasy Factory - Traffic
Oooooh I love that album so much, along with Low Spark of the High Heeled Boys
Damn I have to buy them again

this week it's the new AC/DC album which gets better after a few listens (was 'whelmed' upon first listen).
also digging the new Oasis record which sounded great right off the bat. the second last track (The Nature Of Reality) has a dirty as f*ck riff in it - love the tone, would be interested to know what the guitar/amp rig was on that one.
-
Black Ice.

Black Ice.
I must have listened to it a dozen times by now and I'm still not bored. In fact, I'm liking it more and more. This album, therefore, is the opposite of St. Anger.

We might be thinking of two different bands.
TYR is a band from the Netherlands that used to only sing songs in Norwegian about Vikings. When they got signed, they started singing in English and their music got a lot more accessible. Maybe I shoulda said before the went Hollywood ...
-
Prince - Sign O' the Times
Rammstein - Mutter
A very odd mix

I'm thinking about Týr from the Faroe Islands. A lot of their stuff is based on traditional Faroese folk songs about Vikings(!) but they've always done songs in English as well. If it is the same band, I like 'em anyway, Hollywood or not. :wink:
So what's on the EP?
-
Prince - Sign O' the Times
Rammstein - Mutter
A very odd mix
I've got Mutter - never quite managed to get into it though...

-
Watchmaker - Kill.Fucking.Everyone

EXODUS - "Let there be blood"
It's a re-recording of "Bonded by blood" (one of the alltime classic metal records) with the modern line-up and, more importantly, modern production :twisted:

Testament, First Strike Still Deadly
Me too - it's good to hear classic thrash recorded with a decent production job (though by the standards of the day, Legacy & New Order were better than most...)

Dream Evil - The Book of Heavy Metal - so cheesy it's great! lol
-
Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash - Argus: Through The Looking Glass
A complete re-recording of WA's classic Argus album. They haven't tried to re-interpret anything, it's virtually note-for-note, like one of those Top of the Pops compilation albums they used to release in the '70s that were actually all cover versions (to save paying the original artists, I think). So, you end up with something that sounds like the original but has none of the spark - and whenever someone plays something slightly different, it feels like a mistake. All very pointless really.
Next week I should be getting the new live-in-the-studio album from Andy Powell's Wishbone Ash - which also includes a complete performance of Argus :roll: . I suspect it'll be rather better.

Joni Mitchell-Geffen recordings.

The horns, the chanting, the marching, and the way that the song builds based on the lyrical content (it's a definite leftist/cynical criticism of America/Americana) makes it a very powerful statement, regardless of how you view the song's political slant.

No, so far I'm not impressed; it's a bit of a mess. It tries to cover too many genres, but it's definitely worth a listen, even if it's just for research/curiosity purposes.
I'll give it another listen later maybe.

Atm, Lots and lots of Opeth.
I saw them last Thursday, went really to see Cynic, but was really impressed by Opeth's set, and a bit creeped out that I knew all but one of the songs they played, (allways had opeth, but never been a big nut of their stuff), however now, it's all I'm listening to! Truly amazing band, if you haven't got into them, listen to the Drapery Falls and Deliverance. Absolutely amazing stuff.
ALSO....
The Arusha Accord, Protest the Hero, and Beyond the Arctopus on my playlist atm, superb bands. Just got my PTH shirt in the mail, will so be wearing that tommorow!
-
Had Glandular Fever for a few weeks, so I've listened to ridiculous amounts of music. Mainly John Zorn and Bartok.

Atm, Lots and lots of Opeth.
I saw them last Thursday...
OH that reminds me!!! I saw them in Sydney a few months ago, and while they were playing Bleak, Mikael's amp went bust and blew a valve... and before I even knew that anything had gone wrong, Axe had slammed into an impromptu, uber-amazing drum solo, which was followed by impromptu bass solos, keyboard solos, and Akesson's guitar solos!!
The amp took probably 10 minutes to be fixed. God it was amazing.
-
Opeth are on my list of the bands i have to see live. They are amazing.
-
Guns n' Roses - Chinese Democracy
It really is a pile of cr@p :shock:
-
Same stuff I've been listening to for a while, rarley find new stuff I like:
Meshuggah - Obzen/Catch 33/I/Nothing
Queen - Greatest Hits/Live at Wembley
Nile - Ithyphallic
Rusty Cooley - online examples, getting his band's album + EP soon!
Belphegor - Can't remember the album title but only just got into these guys and they're awesome! Saw them with Nile, Hell's Ambassador is utter Death Metal awesomeness.
I want to check out some Vader too = favorite Death Metal vocalist.
-
Trying to watch those Nile and Meshuggah clips on the downtuning thread has done my head in. So, as an antidote:
Nina Gordon - Tonight and the Rest of My Life
Lovely! :D

I do my head in on quite a regular basis.

The Killers - Day And Age.
I can't get into it so far, maybe it will grow on me.

Unlocking songs on Rock Band 2 ... It might be pop, but I think Paramore's singer has a great voice!

Chinese Democracy
(Funny, I was going to put "Guns n' Roses" there, but it didn't seem right or necessary... :lol: )
Never expected to be saying this, but (on first listen) I am absolutely LOVING this! :o :D
It's sprawling, pompous, messy and the heavily-processed percussion and guitar sounds seem oddly dated at times (there is a TON of guitar on this album). The shred guitar seems weird in Gn'R... but this isn't really Gn'R. If the original band still existed they would never have made this record. But... it sounds huge, Axl's singing is terrific (and I was never really a fan of his voice) and, goddammit, the songs themselves are great!
Yeah, it's nothing like Appetite. But I must have listened to that record 1,000 times so hearing something so fresh(!) and different is a totally unexpected pleasure.
OK... start flaming me now... :rock:

Tjsuder - Kill for Satan

Ron Jarzombek - Solitarily Speaking of Theoretical Confinement, one of the most mental guitar albums I can think of, featuring a track in 65/64, among other craziness.
Venetian Snares - Detrimentalist, insane drum and bass, all over the place in terms of sounds and time sigs.
Exotic Animal Petting Zoo - I Have Made My Bed in Darkness, amazing mix of spacey rock a la Mars Volta, mixed with Sigur Ros, Dillinger Escape Plan, and Glassjaw. Possibly one of my favourite finds of recent months.
Everytime I die - Gutter Phenomenon.

It's sprawling, pompous, messy and the heavily-processed percussion and guitar sounds seem oddly dated at times (there is a TON of guitar on this album). The shred guitar seems weird in Gn'R... but this isn't really Gn'R. If the original band still existed they would never have made this record. But... it sounds huge, Axl's singing is terrific (and I was never really a fan of his voice) and, goddammit, the songs themselves are great!
Yeah, it's nothing like Appetite. But I must have listened to that record 1,000 times so hearing something so fresh(!) and different is a totally unexpected pleasure.
OK... start flaming me now... :rock:
THANK YOU... you said it first... I was lonely and ashamed... now I can talk about it.
I really do quite like it, quite a lot really. :? :? :? :( :( :D :D :lol: :lol:
-
I was thinking I'd gotten away with that post, but now someone's going to have a pop....
.... but then you only go an' agree with me! :lol:
I've listened to it several times now... and still loving it. Listening to it right now, in fact.
-
i think i like it too... i think. obviously, after all these years there are expectations and preconceptions to get past. but when i listen to it i think, this is high quality. it's well crafted and Axl's voice has changed, it's not as feral as it used to be, but it sounds great. i do think it lacks variety, the songs seem to all be of similar tempo. and there aren't really songs that stand out, not yet anyway. a couple are starting to catch hold in my mind, but then, the best albums are usually the ones that take a while to get a handle on. i didn't like Appetite For Destruction the first time i heard it!
maybe in a while Better or Riyadh and the Bedouin will sit with Coma, Rocket Queen and Estranged on my best of G'N'R cd :)
-
Carpathian Forest - We're Going to Hell for This
-
The only track I've heard off Chinese Democracy that was ok was Better.. but then it has stupid guitar solos and lead fills if I remember correctly, which totally ruins it.
-
i think i like it too... i think. obviously, after all these years there are expectations and preconceptions to get past. but when i listen to it i think, this is high quality.....
It ain't GnR but it is SOMETHING worth investing a little time into... I have to say "I can't stop listening to Better"
Sweeps... Not GnR.... Semi- Electronic Soundscapes... Not GnR...
But it's got something I love there and I'm giving the album a fair chance.
-
Dammit. I was hoping the new GnR would be rubbish so I could have the fun of taking the piss. But now that it's decent, I can't help but feel a little disappointed :)

Don't worry, lots of people seem to hate it.... Afghan Dave, Blue and I could all be tone deaf! :lol:

A 4 track best Of CD? Nice one ;)
I think Axl should have officially gone solo years ago and saved us the agony of debating 'Is it GnR or not?'
As for Chinese Democracy, I got about 3 tracks in and deleted from my computer. I think it sounds messy and dated. Wait.. so does Appetite and I love that album..... PDT_034
-
I think Axl should have officially gone solo years ago and saved us the agony of debating 'Is it GnR or not?'
GnR = Axl; Axl = GnR
That's certainly the case now, and I think it probably always was, at least in the sense that he was the real driving force behind the band.
Slash, Izzy and co took away those parts of the "GnR sound" that were theirs, but none of them have actually done anything very good since (IMO). I'd far rather listen to Chinese Democracy than Snakepit, the Ju Ju Hounds or Velvet Revolver (mind you, he did have 15 years to work on it, of course... ).
-
Less than Jake.
I was listening to them yesterday.
Dizzee Rascal - Boy in da corner
-

i might put on a few more, i'll have to think about it ;)
-
Chinese Democracy
Never expected to be saying this, but (on first listen) I am absolutely LOVING this!
Just been listening, and I must say I agree!
I.R.S, Better and There Was a Time sticking out so far.
-
Darkestrah - The Great Silk Road
-
Easy star all stars - Dub side of the moon.
It's the greatest thing ever.

Thanatopsis-Anatomize
-
after Dixie_cr@p's jazzmaster post, i've been listening to 'The Ventures' all afternoon
-
John Mayer - Free Fallin'
Beautiful song
-
At the Drive In - Relationship of Command. Such an awesome album :)
-
I am listening to Rush 2112. Incidentally this is the 2112th post!
-
John Mayer - Free Fallin'
Beautiful song
Funnily enough, I was listening to Tom Petty singing that. Well at least I think it's the same song.
Anyway - John Martin, Solid Air
-
It's a cover of Tom Petty's song. I can't say i think much of the original though :lol:
-
Judas Priest - Painkiller
Judas Priest - Angel of Retribution
edit - thought i now might as well go for:
Judas Priest - Nostradamus
-
just been to see invey again and i cannot streess enough how much you need to see this girl sing live... its awesome
and i made a guitar neck for ed... expecting to put the guitar together at some point but i turned up tonight and he had done it all complete (bugger, i wanted that glory!!) with a 6mm thick aluminium diamond plate scratchplate, hand painted body and with a warpig (my recomendation) stuck in the bridge
it was very, very good. i asked for pics and soundclips for you guys...
very special!!
-
Deftones - White Pony. Elite is so heavy, awesome track :)
-
Various Artists - Lightnin' to the Nations
Fantastic NWOBHM compilation! :D
-
Jeff Beck: Jeff
groovy! ;)
-
Various Artists - Lightnin' to the Nations
Fantastic NWOBHM compilation! :D
Yeah, that's a good one. I'm working on a NWOBHM comp CD to play at work. The problem is fitting em all onto one CD!!!!!
What I've been playing lately:
Deep Purple, California Jams
Uriah Heep, Salisbury
Iron Maiden, Number Of The Beast
-
recently been o.d.ing on:
Satyricon - The Age Of Nero,
Opeth - Watershed
and
Pink Floyd - Meddle (side B) and Ummagumma (Disc 1)
(all on vinyl - no awful hot mastering of those first 2 albums here!)
-
Coheed & Cambria mix I made a while ago that only follows the Claudio/The Crowning story line.
-
Continuing my NWOBHM theme this week,
Trespass - One Of These Days: the Anthology
-
Circa Survive - Juturna. Once you get used to the singers high voice, they're awesome. Act Appalled is my favourite thus far.
-
Kano - Home Sweet Home
Epic album.
-
Ron Jarzombek - Solitarily Speaking of Theoretical Confinement, one of the most mental guitar albums I can think of, featuring a track in 65/64, among other craziness.
Venetian Snares - Detrimentalist, insane drum and bass, all over the place in terms of sounds and time sigs.
Exotic Animal Petting Zoo - I Have Made My Bed in Darkness, amazing mix of spacey rock a la Mars Volta, mixed with Sigur Ros, Dillinger Escape Plan, and Glassjaw. Possibly one of my favourite finds of recent months.
Everytime I die - Gutter Phenomenon.
Love this album.
'Tis a beast indeed, was listening to it earlier.
Dude, explain to me why everyone likes Glassjaw! PLEASE, everyone I know loves them, and I feel like I should, but the guy's voice is soooo annoying!
-
Someone in my front room, drinking my beer, smoking my gear and talking shitee. He'd better shut up thjough 'cause Top Gear's starting.
-
only cd i've had for the last three days is Faster Pussycat!
"Don't change that song, it's my favourite record...."
-
Getting in the spirit with 'A Christmas Gift For You from Phil Spector'.
If you only buy/play one Christmas album this festive season make sure it's this one. Not a Band Aid, Elton John, Slade, Paul McCartney, Wham, Mariah Carey etc etc etc in sight.
-
Moss, Burning With and SerpentCult.
On the doom train after Saturdays Rise Above 20th Anniversary show.
-
Girlschool - The Collection
Kelly Johnson R.I.P. And Kelly Johnson rips.
-
Not exactly listening to it right now, but I'm re-calling the time I heard some The Wind Cries Mary by Jimi Hendrix. It's made me want a Stratocaster just to play that song.
-
had a Motown compilation on today, just great music.
-
Mrs 38th bought and played Seal's new one "Soul" and I actually liked it.Great bass player I said- turned out to be Nathan East when I read the blurb.
-
lots of Electric Sun!
-
The 50 John Zorn albums I have. Literally 50.
-
Watchmaker - Kill. Fucking. Everyone
-
had a Motown compilation on today, just great music.
I got one today - it has the original Barrett Strong version of Money (That's What I Want) - Such an awesome song, I keep listening to it over and over.
-
Police live album. I was never a great fan tbh and Mrs 38th ( who is) bought it. Can't say that I am any more enthusiastic after listening to it.
-
Was that Motown CD the one advertised on TV?
I was going to get that, looked pretty good.
-
It's the traditional Christmas viewing of Judas Priest Live Vengeance '82... :D
All the pressies are wrapped, fingers worn out from serious telecasting today, so time to lie back on the sofa and let the metal flow over me... (and for some reason this dvd always seems to go really well with our christmas decorations!)
For years I've had to have to watch it on a wearing video tape, but the missus got me the dvd a while back.

Currently listening to the as yet unnamed Animals as Leaders album, which is basically a solo project for ex-Reflux guitarist Tosin Abasi, who has collaborated with (forum member) Misha Mansoor aka Bulb of Periphery. It's not being released till April, but there are tracks up on their myspace (http://www.myspace.com/animalsasleaders).
It's possibly the most unique and innovative guitar album I've heard. Everyone with a remote interest in metal, electronica, jazz.. hell, music, owes it to themselves to check it out.
Dude, explain to me why everyone likes Glassjaw! PLEASE, everyone I know loves them, and I feel like I should, but the guy's voice is soooo annoying!
I guess it's love or hate.. The Worship and Tribute album is tied to so many good memories for me.

In fact, I'm going to listen to Alter.
-
Joy Division + New Order today
-
Guthrie Govan - Erotic Cakes
Opeth - Watershed
Got them as presents (having to wait this long for Opeth has been agony but I didn't dare buy it for myself as it was on my gift list :))
Also, a slightly bizarre one:
Kiss - Alive III
No idea where the urge to listen to that came from :? :)
-
Incubus - SCIENCE, Make Yourself, Morning View and Crow Left of the Murder :) Love SCIENCE.
-
Defenders of the Faith - Priest.
-
AC/DC - Back in Black
Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet
Bruce Springsteen - Magic
Some kind people gave them to me for Christmas.

Incubus - SCIENCE, Make Yourself, Morning View and Crow Left of the Murder :) Love SCIENCE.
God I love Incubus (well those 4 albums anyway :P). But come on, Morning View is their best album :P
-
Not my favourite, I prefer Make Yourself and SCIENCE.
edit - actually I'm not so sure! Morning View has quite a few good tracks I forgot about.
-
Bloody Mario Kart Wii music - that's all i've heard since christmas >.<
-
Metallica - Kill 'em All
forgot how good this was!
-
German Thrash - Kreator and Destruction
Ska Punk - [spunge] and Less Than Jake
-
Not my favourite, I prefer Make Yourself and SCIENCE.
edit - actually I'm not so sure! Morning View has quite a few good tracks I forgot about.
Surely Science is just overplaying kids wishing they were in Faith No More and Primus? Maybe not quite as much as on Fungus Amungus, mind... :lol:
Wolves in The Throne Room, Dissection, The Meads of Asphodel, Cobalt and a pile more on my BM shuffle playlist at the minute.
-
Bloody Mario Kart Wii music - that's all i've heard since christmas >.<

-
James Gang - Rides Again

Half Zaftig, good stuff :)

Finally got round to buying the Thin Lizzy Live and Dangerous DVD today :D (used to have it on video, but it wore out...)
For some reason I'd never cottoned on that Robbo's black Les Paul was a custom - suddenly my black Love Rock doesn't look quite so right sat next to the TV! :?
-
Sabbat
Brilliant 80's thrash from the UK.

I'd say the DVD might prove disappointing if you're in the first flush of "what an amazing album" Live and Dangerous is. But once you remember that this was the 70s, and it's a real gig filmed in the 70s, then it does the job (I waited until I found it going cheap though!)

Aerosmith - Honkin' On Hobo
I'm just, er, "rippin" some of my CDs to update the old mp3 player ready for the commencement of another year of struggling to work... and I'd forgotten how damn fine this album is :D

Really? Although I love all the early stuff I completely gave up on them after Nine Lives, I just couldn't stand any more formulaic cr@p written with outside songwriters (although I love Permanent Vacation, which in retrospect was, unfortunately, the start of all that). I've never even heard the last 2 albums.
Is Honkin' on Bobo actually rockin', or have they gone for the "authentic" ( :roll: ) blues approach like some of Clapton's recent stuff?
-

@rses are kicked and names are taken :D
Of course, it's all personal taste though... I've just started ripping Pump, and to me Honkin on Hobo has the same sort of sound as that... and there's some fine old standards on it - I wouldn't say they've gone for the "authentic" blues approach though :lol:

Fugazi – Waiting Room
Rotten Sound – Blind
Rudimentary Peni – When You Are a Martian Church
Biohazard – Last Man Standing full track
Napalm Death – Feeling Redundant
Napalm Death – Thanks for Nothing

Killswitch Engage - End of Heartache and their live album. I never really listened to this sort of music before but I actually kinda like it now. Just makes a change from the usual rock etc I normally listen to. I've just been trying to learn Rose of Sharyn and its way harder than I thought it'd be :( Giving me a good rhythm workout though, I really need something to push me out of my comfort zone :)

Now get Slaughter of the Soul by At The Gates and Heartwork by Carcass and see where they get most of their ideas! Then get onto the GOOD ATG and Carcass albums :lol:
In all seriousness, if you like End of Heartache those first two albums might be worth a look :)
-
I allready have Heartwork by Carcass, great album. I prefer it to their earlier ones even though most Carcass fans seem to prefer those, I just cant get into them as much. Havent ever really listened to At the Gates, will have a look.

you definitely HAVE TO.
slaughter of the soul and terminal spirit disease are decades ahead of all this new scene of melodic death/thrash metal... in particular i don't like at all the new wave of american deathsters trying to imitate old swedish standards and mixing them with gay emocore... :)
the GOOD ATG albums (to quote nfe :P) are great if you like classic (well, maybe not completely classic) swedish death metal... spiced up with some of the most desperate melodies i remember...
-
Will have a listen then, I'm not really into metal like this much so the more mainstream stuff is about all I can take :P
Just "discovered" Russian Circles, heard of them a while ago but never bothered to listen. Awesome instrumental stuff! I'm just listening to the stuff on their myspace page now but I want to get an album, which is best out of the two or should I just get them both?
-
At this very moment I'm listening to Queensryche - The Warning. Classic!
-
ZZ Top - all albums and periods.
I love a bit of ZZ Top \o/ :) With my VH2 Jazzmaster, I'm the closest I've been to his tone.
-
I have these on a lot right now. A bit varied but that suits me.
Joe Bonamassa - Sloe Gin
Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid
AC DC - Black Ice

I'm digging Atomic Rooster.

Since christmas I have been listening to Alter Bridge 'Blackbird', I am blown away by these guys (cool website intro aswell www.alterbridge.com ) storming riffage and awesome vocals, the production is top notch, a few of the come back bands of 2008 could have done with some of this.
-
Havana Heat Club - The Motorhead of Berlin!
-
The Answer, proper rock n roll man!
-
Dark Side of the Moon
Been playing it all day, performing it in it's entirety at our final college gig!
-
Blood Ceremony - Blood Ceremony
I think these cats are my favourite new band of the last couple years. It just sounds like Sabbath with Jon Lord on keys, some Jethro Tull moments and a chick singing, but they're absolutely great.
-
Gamma Ray - Sign no more.
-
Pride & Glory
Best thing Zakk's ever done... by a mile.

Pride & Glory
Best thing Zakk's ever done... by a mile.
Got that..I'll have to dig it out...I seem to remember 'I hate your guts' was brilliant!
-
Yeah, that's the "comedy" track at the end. But the rest of it is brilliant too, loads of great songs and a remarkable lack of pinched harmonics.
-
Yep, Losin' Your Mind and Horse Called War blow the hell out of every other tune Zakk's ever played on a record.
Currently, Hail of Bullets - Of Frost and War.
Fantastic D-beat influenced death metal.

Iron Maiden - Rock In Rio

Winger - Live
-
Deadlock - Manifest I think this is their best one yet.
and
Samael - Most recent album I forgotten what its called. They are such a weird band!!

Alice Cooper.
Sounds weird but I reckon ol' Alice is well underrated...
People only really know him as Alice Cooper that guy in adverts with the dodgy make-up. He has some real good, solid rock'n'roll tunes!

Black Sun - Paralyser

Gov't Mule
Stan Webb's Broken Glass

FNM I can cope with. :)
Just out of interest, do you know a band called Goatsblood? I think that's the most extreme thing I've got, though you'll probably tell me they're like Liberty X next to your stuff.
(I think I bought it by mistake, thinking it was Goatsnake or something... )

I've heard the name, Canadian Sludge type affair?
I've bought plenty CDs by accident before by confusing names :lol: I've had a few bought for me too, Otep instead of Opeth and Catatonia instead of Katatonia...

I've heard the name, Canadian Sludge type affair?
Yeah, that's right, definitely Canadian, sludge but with a really harsh sound (if I remember right). I don't mind a bit of sludge normally.

Anamanaguchi - Helix Nebula

That's a bold claim. I'm going to go find it...
Holy shite, it's pretty fucking cheerful eh?
Ha, what a grin I have. I need MORE.

You can get the whole album for free from www.8bitpeoples.com
I dont think any of it is as good as Helix Nebula though.

Nice to see another Goatsnake fan on t'board. A mate of mine turned me onto them a few months back. Can't get enough of them at present.
Mind you, I have some rather good "Not quite what I wanted" CD's as well. I was asked by my mother once, when she was on her holidays, if I wanted any CD's as a wee present. "Grand" says I. "I hear Black Francis has a new album out. That'd just be lovely". She seemed a bit confused by this. Still, fair play to her. She came home with this. (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Best-Frances-Black/dp/B00004ZB1R/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1233034205&sr=8-2)
Appreciate the effort, Ma. Bring me back whiskey next time, though, yeah?

Commix atm, great chillout music.

Blaze Bayley - The Man Who Would Not Die.
There is a song on there called 'While you were gone' which although written before his wifes death, it has now become a highly personal song for Blaze and wont be leaving his set list, much in the same way that 'In this river' by BLS has become a tribute to Dime.

I was watching ZZ Top Live from Texas earlier - 2nd viewing of a chrimbo pressie.
Liking it a great deal... seen them twice - once at Wembley on the Afterburner tour, I was VERY disappointed, I was expecting something different I guess...
And then a couple of years ago at Brixton. They were brilliant, but I was slightly distracted by the fact that me and the girlfriend had just split up - she was in the auditorium somewhere with her best-friend and I spent most of my time checking my phone for a text...
(We got back together a few days later, got married, and have been blissfully happy ever since... :D)
Love this DVD - them boys are three extremely cool dudes...

Going back to the old Mr Bungle self-titled. That and John Zohn's Naked City.

Just had a listen (so now after 34 years I finally deserve to live, lol). Very good! Downloading commencing ... kind of reminds me of Rancid for some reason. The vocalist I think - has an Operation Ivy / Rancid air to it. With extra metal :evil:

And as a result I am now listening to "Energy" by Operation Ivy ...

I like it because its one of those things in life that was almost too useful to be true ... if you read about it in a novel you'd think "God what a contrivance that is, that sort of thing would never happen ..."
Thumbs up for Rob Zombie too :)
-
ha, it does seem a bit unlikely, doesn't it? it's like an episode of stargate where they went back in time and left something so they could understand what they'd found in the future! hmm, maybe in the future someone will find a welsh/english bilingual sign and get the same result :)

Yeah, I do wish they'd stop putting these things on in the middle of no where :(
I'm not gonna manage it, I saw Leccy Wizard in December and I'll see them at Hellfest but I'd awfully like to see Sleep. Gonna have to pass on Roadburn too, which also has an outrageous lineup, as it usually does.
-
I've also been listen to the spiky wizards Witchcult Today.
As well as Public Enemies it takes a nation..., Ephel Duath - Through my Dogs Eyes
And a cool tuba player called Tom Heasley.
I really like Deadlocks new album aswell, no-one seems to like it.

It is the Rosetta stone :)
Was reading up on this (on wikipedia) earlier today. Completely off topic but this made me laugh:
"In July 2003, Egypt demanded the return of the Rosetta Stone. Dr. Zahi Hawass, secretary general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Cairo, told the press: "If the British want to be remembered, if they want to restore their reputation, they should volunteer to return the Rosetta Stone because it is the icon of our Egyptian identity." In 2005, Hawass was negotiating for a three-month loan, with the eventual goal of a permanent return. In November 2005, the British Museum sent him a replica of the stone."
I must admit that I do agree with Dr Zahi Hawass - it shouldn't really be kept here!
To bring it back on topic I am currently listening to Fandango by ZZ Top. Great stuff.

I was going to suggest something like last.fm as it's always up to date and doesn't hammer the server loading these huge threads.
You've got a friend request! ;) I added a Bare Knuckle Pickups group whilst I was at it. I'm the owner at the moment but if any official bod wants to take over I'm fine with that. There's a method for transferring ownership of a group.

There wasn't traditionally a big 4. There was a big three and the Redshitee asking if they could play :lol:
Hopefully Derby will beat ManUre and it'll be a perfect day. It was nice to see Savage getting a ball square in the plums.

Leviathan is my favourite mastodon record. ps. im new here. hello!

-
yeah blood mountain is good, but took a long time to grow on me and never managed to overtake the earlier to full lengths. and then live its a totally different story. when i saw them they sounded pretty good, singing wasnt great but wasnt awful, but then ive seen some live clips and heard from mates who saw them more recenlty and brents vocals sounded like someone squeezing a terminally ill, deaf, pregnant, constipated pig

The singer from that band (sam) used to play drums in the old band i was in. he's incredile. he was 17 at the time and totally amazing. like, seriously, he'd blow most pro's away. still, bullying him for being dead young was always fun! saw him for the first time in ages at their after show party in brighton. that was funny.

Deep Purple - Live in Japan
I got it over christmas and hadn't listened to it that much. 3 CDs with most of the 3 gigs that went into Made In Japan. Listening to the first Osaka night at the moment (none of these recordings made it onto MIJ)... put it through the studio monitors and turn it up - sounds DAMN FINE... (lot better than it did on our bedside multi-cd unit anyway :lol:)

Now I've got "Rocky Hill" by Rocky Hill on (the brother of Dusty, ZZ Top bass-vocals).
I bought it in 88 when it came out, only listened to it a couple of times, didn't really like it that much back then. It's still not mind-blowing, but it's a lot tastier than I remembered - more bluesy than Dusty's band, and it beats the living cr@p out of "Afterburner" that I tried to listen to the other day :lol:

I'm getting into Kansas again at the moment - I've had 4 or 5 of their albums on vinyl for many years, but only a couple on CD. Thought it was about time I caught up.

I bloody love Kansas, I do.
There's a fantastic cover band locally who do and outrageously good version of Carry On My Wayward Son. If only they'd do some of the less well known belters.

I woke up early for some reason(bearing in mind I was in late from a gig) and put on a Johnny Hiland album. First time I have really listened to it though it was on the Ipod for several months. He can certainly play-not entirely to my taste but I will certainly learn from it.

Bad English

Buddy Whittington
Poets & Pornstars
A very eclectic mix, I'd almost forgotten about Bad English but was just browsing the CD's and thought I'd put it on for a change, then remembered why I bought it in the first place! I have to admit I bought Poets & Pornstars because of Sally Hope (look her up and add her to crushes along with Cristina Scabbia [I really wish she had a nicer surname!]) - but I do like the songs! Buddy Whittington impressed me playing with John Mayall and his solo album is more of the same. Viking Skull - make sure you are drinking when listening to it! Masters of Reality and Free need no explanation from me!

So upsetting that he's died. Been listening to the Cramps all month.

Nile - Von Unaussprechlichen Kulten
I almost think that they're better playing slow stuff then fast... :?
-
Ramesses - Misanthropic Alchemy
Heavy as a skipfull o' bricks.
-
Sabbat - Dreamweaver
Excellent thrash metal album, so is their previous album "History of a time to come", own both albums, and i recommend anyone who likes this style of music to check em out, remember how impressed i was with the lyrics when i bought these records about a year ago :)
Both classic thrash albums!
Judas Priest - Painkillleeerrrrrrr

Sabbat were great. But Skyclad were better :wink:

Impellitteri - Wicked Maiden

Then... one day...
Started to listen to it on the train home from Canary Wharf, after a cr@p day at work, and finally got it. Getting to really really like it.

Good Man ! Rain dogs is a classic, have you ( from amongst all the other great later day Waits stuff ) tried 'Mule Variations' ? 8)

Roger Waters, Amused To Death
Vivaldi, Gloria
JS Bach, Magnificat
Roger Water's " Amused To Death" is a favourite of mine too, very clever, chilling and engaging.
I especially like it as manifest ( due to the distillation / physical presentation of my favourite tracks ) on the live DVD 'In The Flesh' .
-
Pro's and con's of hitchhiking...waters
and Marillion Brave
-
Pro's and con's of hitchhiking...waters
"Every Stranger's Eyes" - a classic; made complete by Roger's unique voice / presentation . The way he moves deftly between carefully pronounced and almost detatched speech - to that rising 'singing' voice of somewhat emphatic despair / accusation. 8)
-
Good album can't say I am his biggest fan..but that is a masterpiece..and completely insane

I still buy CDs too. But it seems like we're heading inexorably towards getting all our music and movies by download. I've been planning on buying a Blu-ray player for ages, but I'm starting to wonder if it's going to be redundant almost as soon as I get it.
I'm not too happy about it - that sense of "achievement" when you manage to track down a rare CD or DVD is going to disappear. :(
I can't get excited about a load of bloody hard drives (plus another load of backup hard drives to make sure we don't lose it all).

I'm waking up after 3-4 hours sleep when the pain killers wear off. So I've got my ipod on for ages each morning. It's a really nice way of dealing with all this pain, which is getting to ease off a bit now.
At that time of day i just want a lullaby! Joni Mitchell's good.

It goes without saying this one is on your order list!

Yep! I've got the 'original' re-re-mixed versions of Eliminator, Fandango and Tres Hombres already, so I ordered:
ZZ Top's First Album
Rio Grande Mud
Tejas
El Loco
Deguello
Basically so I've got everything up to and including Eliminator. Rev Willie G is one of my favourite players, so I thought I'd get some of the more obscure stuff :)
At the same time I've also got coming:
Joe Bonamassa - The Ballad Of John Henry
The Answer - Everyday Demons

Sounds like a good bunch.
My very ever first CD purchase back in 1983 was ZZ Tops Afterburner. That was when The CD player was the latest thing and cost a fortune! Look where its all gone since, tech, it's mental isn't it!
-
What's obscure about those TF? That's the "proper" ZZ Top cannon :wink:
I haven't organised a CD replacement of El Loco yet, but otherwise I have everything up to and excluding Eliminator on CD. I do have Eliminator and Afterburner on vinyl from when they came out, but my interest started to wane with Eliminator and was completed killed off when I got Afterburner home...
Having said that though, I was sampling some clips of the later albums the other day, and it sounds like things improved, and I probably want everything apart from Afterburner... :lol:
I would definitely recommend the Live in Texas DVD though - got it with christmas money, and it's one of the live music dvds I've watched most.
-
^ Yeah Afterburner didn't really do it for me either.
-
Still listening to Paramore - Riot. This album is $%&#ing awesome haha
Also been listening to The Postal Service - Give Up.
-
The Four Horsemen - Nobody Said it was easy and Gettin Pretty good at Barely Gettin By.
Awsome Rockin and totaly underrated.

I love the track "A fool For Your Stockings" on Deguello' : sleazy, laid back and generally great ... 8)
Afterburner was saved for me by 'Rough Boy' and 'Can't Stop Rockin' .

:lol: Sounds about right ...
If you want a really 'out there' experience - listen to a copy of the Tom Waits album 'Real Gone' ; or the dark romanticism of 'Alice' .
It still amazes me how he dragged most of us from his early , smoother - and easily digestible 'Bar room ballad' albums - notably during his time on ( the aptly named ) Asylum label , through to his genius , but often challenging later work.
I think he puts a whole new meaning to the word 'enigmatic' . It would be amazing to meet him ... 8)

Joe Bonamassa - The Ballad of John Henry - it's probably his best album so far, and a further development in his 'own' sound.

I like The Haunted too, and not keen on LoG. I bought Sacrament and couldn't really see what all the fuss was about. But I'm really not into "heavier" metal in general (the usual problem with the vocals...), so I don't think my opinion counts for much. :wink:

Twenty Five Years of Dr Feelgood 8)
I'm fairly new here, and I just scanned the last few pages of posts to see what sort of music you're all into. And I like it (ZZ Top, Purple, et al). Not often (in fact, far too infrequently) I see Dr Feelgood getting name-checked anywhere 8)
Today, I have mostly been listening to Jesse Malin - Glitter in the Gutter (but only because it was on repeat play in the workshop!).

Recently I've been listening to trance!!! Shoot me quick!
Please dont, I am an open minded student who has to do a trance cover of Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush.
Some trance is really good and epic, but I just bought a Dave Pearce compilation and i've never felt so bored!
Plus some of the covers i've found are quite cool. Within Temptations "running up that hill" is about as EPIC i think music can get!!
Any one looking foward to Samael's new album?

The Kovenant and Anathema....when are they gonna get their asses in gear!

John Mayer - Where The Light Is (Live in Los Angeles)
Such tone!
Good choice ! :)
He certainly knows how to capture some beautiful tones. I was blown away when I first saw him perform this live version of "City Love" on a 'Crossroads guitar festival' DVD . The build up intro is very fluent and funky ; but it's the subtle slow solo bit in the middle that hits me. He gets accused of being derivative ( like the majority of guitar players aren't ? ) - and all manner of slander on "The Gear Page" - but if I could have written songs and played like that at his ( or any ) age I would not fear the critics. His live intro and solo in that lovely song 'Gravity' are also gems . :)

Derek & the Dominos - Live at Fillmore East
Haven't listened to this for years - always found it a bit boring, and it still is, they drag the songs out a bit too much (was probably great if you were there...)

Its not quite trance but i just bought Anjunadeep01 and its amazing. My no1 CD at the mo.

been listening to The Answer: Everyday Demons over the weekend. it's not bad, good vocals (though i have to say that, my aunt knows him!) and some blazing solos! not keen on the rhythm guitar sound though, it kinda disappears in the mix. great drum sound.
hmm, one way to damn an album with faint praise, "yeah, great drum sound" ;)
-

Anyway, listening to:
Rush - Snakes & Arrows Live *
The Company Band - Sign here, here and here.
( * Edit: Crikey, Rush are on really rockin' form on this album! The guitars, bass and drums sound huge, and Geddy seems totally comfortable doing the higher-pitched vocals on the older songs. How many other bands are there who just keep getting better and better after 35+ years?! :o )

The Bronx - The Bronx III :) Good so far, I love Knifeman.

New songs dont seem to be as good, most of the songs from the first season are from many years of stage performance playing them, then they sorta wrote the story lines to fit around them, some of the ones in the new season seem to just have been chucked together to fill up the episode. Dave's appearing in more songs now though which is decent

"WHO'S THE BOOM KING?!"
"I need my 1987 DG20 Casio electric guitar... Set to Mandolin... Yeah.... Drop the Drums..."
-
I'm da BOOM King
also the drum fill interlude between scenes on the show is the drumfill for the basic rock beat on the DG20.
The DG20 is a cool idea (better than a guitboard or keytar, but its really horrible to actually play, rubber fret board, really hard to tighten the strings (Not that it makes any difference for tuning, but playability is bad) cant mute strings when strumming since there is sensors saying the string is hit and sensors under the fret board telling it what note to play, but if you hit other strings it just rings out an open note, even when your muting it with your left hand, and also due to some strings being slacker than others sometimes it doesnt sense that youve plucked the string if you dont hit it hard enough.
So yeah, gonna sell it, also dont want to use it for anything since people will just think im trying to be flight of the conchords, even though ive owned it for about 8 years now.

Brilliant ! :D
My faves probably being 'Circus', 'Metropolitan Glide' and 'Make it rain' - although as with many of the later Waits albums, it benefits from being listened to as a complete work / experience . Nice to see the talented and unique guitarist Marc Ribot being employed again on some tracks as well, as I thought his contribution (s) on the album "Raindogs" on tracks like 'Jockey full of bourbon' really helped to make that album the classic it became. Tom Waits seems to have the knack of knowing just who to bring in - and when to use them.
I am pleased to hear that you were not afraid to go for the 'hard core' stuff... 8)

Joe Bonamassa - Live from Nowhere in Particular.
Got this and the new one, Ballad of John Henry, yesterday (they were among the CDs I was having trouble unwrapping in my rant elsewhere :lol:).
I'd always assumed he was some sort of metal bloke :roll: - I was vaguely surprised 38th mentioned him the other day, and then when I went browsing on play for blues to spend my birthday vouchers on, up came John Henry...
Not sure about the studio album yet - very classy and all (the wife likes it lots, so that's good), but it's either gonna grow on me or I'm gonna get bored. But this live album is ace :D

I am glad to hear that you checked out his early stuff - on what is a very good / representative compilation album - as behind the eccentricity - he is a lovely ballad writer.
On the otherwise 'angular' later period 'Bone Machine' album, there are a couple of songs called " Whistle Down The Wind" and " A little Rain " that are just beautiful. On 'You Tube' there is also a little known gem from the recent triple album of 'out takes' that is called ' Orphans' the song is entitled " You Can Never Hold Back Spring" - the later being something that a singer / guitarist a mate of mine went straight home and just felt he had to work into his repetoire. The 'You Tube' video has a great photo montage against the Album track backdrop:

That's a good song, I liked that :D

Right now, this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyJa2j95LzM
"Twilight of the Innocents" by Ash, the title track to what might be their last album (apparently they said they will not be making albums anymore). I went to see them play "1977" in it's entirety last September at the Astoria in London. They then did a second set consisting of "Greatest Hits" from the rest of their back catalogue, and closed with this. Considering much of their stuff is poppy punk, this was surprising when I first heard it, but has become one of my favourite songs of theirs.
On a side note, Tim Wheeler's guitar in that Video is rather lovely - a Gibson KS-336, I believe. Me want.
-
Just as a quick correction of my last post, the second video ( an eloquent demonstration of stage craft for all you would be 'Rock Gods' out there ) - should have been this one :

So tonight I am listening to that understated gem . :)

In the continuing Tom Waits saga - I've just ordered Closing Time.
Me and Mr's TM went to see Pete Molinari at The Donkey in Leicester the other week and he played "Hope that I don't fall in love with you". Mr's TM loved it so I'm getting her the album. Strange really because my Tom Waits listening usually has to be in my car or when she's out. I'll convert her one day.

Great stuff :D - and of course the nexus from which all else flowed.
If your good Lady liked the track you mentioned, another couple of gems in the same vein are " Martha" ( about an old man who eventually finds the long distance phone number of his first love ) - and "Grapefruit Moon" a generally sentimental feast , and many more .
There is of course "Ol 55" which the Eagles respectfully 'nicked' off him. Being his first album ( and therefore being over 35 years old ) his voice is clearer - and the whole format is great for converting your wife ; as it is voice / piano / strings e.t.c. and long before he got 'experimental'. I am sure this will be one that you will both enjoy sharing over a drink and a cuddle.
I think it is not until folks hear 'Closing Time' that the miracle of how the genius that is Tom Waits 'snake charmed' us through all the transitions to albums like 'Real Gone' and 'Mule Variations' , becomes apparent. I still love how ( even in the midst of one of his many 'diverse' or downright challenging later day albums ) Tom can still pull out an emotive gem that could have been included on 'Closing Time' .
Enjoy ! :D

I have been a Waits fan since the 70s - and so I am of course rather predudice, but I feel he is a monumental creative treasure that too often flies "under the radar" of general public conciousness.
( By the way, which album or tracks are you enjoying the most so far ? )

Paradoxically, in the middle of my usual Tom Waits and mellow Jazz diet, I am really enjoying listening to a compilation CD of ( The heaviest of ) Black Label Society I just put together.
Great on the MP3 player for the weightlifting and generally getting 'juiced' ... PDT_003

Yeah, I will get "Sad wings of destiny" at some point (it was a bit expensive unlike the rest), along with "Ram it down" (despite being IMHO Priest's weakest studio offering).
However, I'll be giving "Unleashed in the studio east" a miss, never liked it... ;)

Sybreed - Dynamic
-
Thin Lizzy - Still In Love With You (live version)
Lynott could be really hit or miss with those ballads of his. I personally think this is one of the better ones.
My playlist has been shuffled and the next song is Lightning Strikes Again by Dokken - easily one of my favourite bands.

def leppard ep

Currently on a huge Zwan binge lately.
It saddens me knowing what this band could have been capable of if Billy Corgan hadn't pulled the plug on them so quickly. Just checkout the various songs they recorded but never released officially. I was really looking forward to the Djali Zwan album, and it'll probably never see the light of day now. Still, at least the "Spun" soundtrack was leaked.
The Smashing Pumpkins are one of my favourite bands ever, but Zwan was probably a more exciting prospect at the time than new Pumpkins material is right now (especially since Jimmy Chamberlin's gone)
-
Lots of Isis, just saw that they're playing Dour. Awesome.
-
Circle of Dead Children
Just got the new Brutal Truth so that'll go on soon.

Quireboys at the minute. How are you meant to say their name. Is it choir-boys or queerboys? I can never decide :lol: Either way its good rock music, the singer sounds like he eats gravel for breakfast.

In particular, the song "All I want" which has one of my favourite all-time guitar solos. They don't make 'em like that anymore :)
Actually, comparing what ended up on the album to the outtake (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=CWntxpcq9FI), I'm not sure which I like best. If anything George actually reined his playing back a bit for the final version :o

Hmmm.... not sure. Decent song, and Sammy sounds OK (at least his voice is holding up better than Coverdale's!), but I didn't like the solos - Satriani's tone is too smooth and sort of fusiony. I thought the song called for something more gnarly and aggressive. Still interested in hearing the album though. :)

After seeing live him last year I never want to hear him again!! I know he was a great guitarist, but now the show is just a foil for his ego and gets to be really booring when he goes into 20 minute guitar solos that invlove sliding the pick down the sritings into an echo that is then modulated!

Tricky - Blow Back

Been listening to a bunch of Elkie Brooks on Spotify, notably "Circles" and "The Pearls Concert". The live one is stunning... currently trying to discover the best way of getting a CD copy.
Anyway, one thing led to another, and now me and the missus are going to see her in Wimbledon in May... I've wanted to see her ever since the late 70's, but never got round to it... (I'm far more excited about this than about seeing the Black Crowes a week earlier :lol:)
Meanwhile I've been prowling Elkie Brooks's website for an hour or two, and what do I find? The guitarist I've been listening to on Circles and The Pearls Concert is... one Mr Tim Mills :D

:D Cool, I knew Tim had been in her band, but didn't know he'd recorded with her.
I'm not that familiar with her stuff, apart from the old hits, but I suspect she's a bit of a rocker at heart - I remember years ago seeing one of her shows on TV and the guitarist was a proper hard rock player, with hair like Glenn Tipton!

Praying Mantis - Time Tells No Lies
-
Joe Bonamassa - The Ballad of John Henry
Cool tuning used on the title track: BADGBe

W.A.S.P - I can't help but love Chris Holmes.. he's a simply underrated "attitude" guitarist.

I seem to be travelling in a slightly different direction to the majority on here at the moment... :lol:
Agnetha Faltskog - My Colouring Book
Which led me to discover that my two favourite Searchers songs ("Needles and Pins", and "When You Walk Into the Room") were written by a woman :o !!! :lol:
And a very talented one at that - Jackie DeShannon. I'd never heard of her :?, but she was apparently quite famous in the 60s (even supported the Beatles...)
-
Insect Warfare at the moment.
The first couple hours at work were The Beach Boys and Toots and the Maytals. Then the sun went away.

I had heard of Jackie DeShannon, but I always thought it was a bloke!
(She didn't write "Needles and Pins" though)
-
AH... thanks for that, further research reveals Sonny Bono and Jack Nitzsche for songwriters of Needles and Pins...
So Spotify lied!! :lol:
I'll check the other one now (I need all these lyrics anyway... :D)
-
King Crimson -Red

King Crimson -Red
Good choice. That's probably my favourite King Crimson album.
I'm listening to Gentle Giant 1st four albums yet again (the Phil Shulman years). They get better with every listen.
-
Manic Street Preachers - Jackie Collins' Existential Question Time
It's a damn shame there's no singles on the forthcoming album - I'd get a kick out of hearing something like this on the radio.
"Oh Mommy, What's a Sex Pistol?"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWd5mH9LRPk
First "Peeled Apples", now this. This is the most excited I have been over a new Manics album in a long time. Could be the best since "The Holy Bible". Amazing live band as well.

I dont have much, but I currently have some mix by Plastician and its great. Want to get some Bar 9 but it seems to be hard to get.
-
going on a Black Sabbath trip at the minute. got the new Paranoid remaster at the weekend and been listening to it, which encouraged me to break out Master of Reality and Heaven & Hell. all good stuff! think Master's my favourite of the three.
also got the new Noisettes album yesterday. only had one listen, but sounds ok, although they've lost a lot of the quirks and rawness that made the first album so much fun.
-

It's a bit wishy-washy, but nice songs and good vocals. I probably only listen to it once every 7 or 8 years though! :wink:

Plastician's cool, if you want a more ambient side, check out boxcutter. Very very very good imo.

Buddy Guy - Skin Deep
Sh!t this is a GREAT blues album!!
I get this hunger for some new blues every few months, kinda like a junkie.
I rarely get a trip this good! "I got wolf blood in my veins..." Damn.

The Safety Fire's EP - Brilliant as allways.

AC/DC - Black Ice
Such a good album, can't wait to see them live in June! :D
-
Planet Rock.
Now that summer is here (unfortunately) my neighbours have taken to spending every second of every day outside listening to some reggae sunsplash bollocks*. Which makes it totally unbearable being in my kitchen, so I've been forced to finally break this out:

William Elliott Whitmore - he was on Jools last night, and I quite liked him so I thought I'd give the album a go. It's good so far!

A nice mix of 'Sonic Brew' and 'Mafia' should assist in neighbourhood 'behavioural correction' :evil:
Alternatively, 'Mellow' them to death with Smoooooth Jazz , Nat king Cole - and Dean Martin records. 8)
If that doesn't work, try and 'aquire ' one of those " Bus Stop Suspended" signs ... :wink:

Heaven & Hell; The Devil You Know
came in the post yesterday. only three tracks in, but it sounds pretty good. the first two are slow paced and then it picks up to a cheery grind with The Bible Black :) young Dio's voice is pretty impressive, that youngster could go far!
-
Infected Mushroom - The Gathering.
I feel like I'm in 2093. Wondering whether the cars outside are floating or not.
-
In Flames - Jester Race (best springtime soundtrack ever)
Dimension Zero - He who shall not bleed
-
AC/DC- If you want blood. Had never heard it before three days ago. It's already well listened to and getting better each time.
I've also been listening to Paul Weller - 22 Dreams. A complete load of tosh imo. It's going back tomorrow and being traded for some real music - Ballad of John Henry.
-
Still addicted to Mad Capsule Markets at the minute, theyre so fun yet so heavy. I love it.
-
Jeffrey Lewis - 'Em Are I
-
Converge atm.

The only thing that puts me off it a bit is the singing, not as good as other Fugazi stuff imo

Imelda May - Love Tattoo.
We had a discussion about her when she appeared on Later...
It's a good album - some nasty Gretsch tones. Not to everyones taste, I think, but cool for a change.
Mark.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - C'est La Vie (great song)
Carcass - Heartwork
John Mayer - Where the light is Live
Arch Enemy - Doomsday Machine

Frank Zappa - You Are What You Is

Dave Pearce Trance Anthems 2009!

Frank Zappa - You Are What You Is
That's a wonderdul album by one of Zappa's great bands but my CD copy has the worst mastering I've ever heard (TBH I haven't listened to Death Magnetic yet ;) ). It clips like crazy and the stereo balance is way off, I can't bear to listen to it :(
The tour on the back of this album had the best vocal arrangements of any Zappa material EVER! Check them out on the YCDTOSA sets.
-
Watching "Blues on Later With Jools Holland" on BBC4. ZZ Top were on, Billy had a single bridge humbucker goldtop I think. Looked awesome and sounded really good through the Orange he seemed to be playing.

Looked to me like a P90. Whatever it was it was probably the coolest thing I've ever seen.

Ah I didnt really pay much attention, his hand was covering it most of the time.
I really want one now though haha. That black guy with the spotted strat had awesome tone as well, the sustain on it was immense as well.
edit - watching it again, it does appear to be a creme p90 :)

Coney Hatch - Outa Hand

ok Mr Dave, i finally remembered to check my book! i don't know if the guitar in the book is the same one that's on the tv show, but the book one is a Gibson Custom Shop Gold top, with a stop bar bridge, a single cream P90, the hood badge from a '58 Ford Thunderbird inlaid into the front of the guitar and "drink Mamba beer" inlaid on the fret board. it does look mighty fine! but i'd love to see one without the inlays, and maybe with a humbucker. if i can get to a scanner i'll put it up here. hope that helps your GAS (which means makes it worse ;) )

Thanks for looking that up mate... sufficiently unattainable! :lol:

after the Heaven & Hell flurry last week, i ordered
Black Sabbath: Dehumanizer,
and i have that on in the car now. Wow! i'd always heard this was a poor reunion thing, but it's great! the aggression is roaring out of the speakers! Dio's voice is absolutely savage. this is a Black Sabbath i haven't heard before, and i like it!
so, when i hit the gym last night (which i've just got back to after a 2 1/2 month lay-off with a shoulder injury) i felt the need for aggression! i ended up with...
Kreator: Enemy Of God Revisited
that'll scare away squirrels and small children! :twisted:

I don't think music died in 1975 (1995 maybe? :wink: ).... but I have said more than once on here that I don't think Dehumanizer is very good - compared with Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules it sounds too harsh and a lot less melodic (IMO). Dio sounds savage, as Blue said.... but I'm not sure I like it.
Having said that, I listened to all the Dio/Sabbath stuff last week before listening to the Heaven & Hell album, and in fact Dehumanizer is better than I remembered - I still think it's disappointing compared to its predecessors, but there is some good stuff on there.
Now, I'm not sure about that Heaven & Hell album.... it hasn't grown on me yet. :P

haha I know
Something a bit different to what I usually have on now, bit of Santana - Abraxas. Awesome guitar tone, so much better than his more recent tone which is far too thick and weird.

The Answer - "Everyday Demons" just got this album today and it's awesome!

Beck, Bogert and Appice - At Last Rainbow

The recording is mastered FAR too loud - completely brickwalled with clipping on every transient. Tragic, because it could have sounded HUGE.
-
It's gonna be The Black Crowes for a while I think - just back from seeing them again tonight.
Just finished removing a load of stuff from my mp3 player so I can cram all their albums on :lol:
The missus enjoyed them a lot too, but when she found I didn't have a "best of", her mp3 request for tomorrow's holiday journey was "can you put Mama Mia on mine?" :roll:

That $%&#ing Tank - Day Of Death By Bono Adrenalin Shock
I have no idea where this album came from - I've never seen it before and never heard the band, but it's turning out to be pretty cool!
-
Mastodon - Crack the Skye
Thought I'd give it a try, but I think its pretty shite to be honest. I dont get all the hype about this band, they're so boring.
-
The Noisettes - Wild Young Hearts.
Disappointing. Very.
-
Boxcutter - Arecibo Message.
New album from the best, and its brilliant.
-
^I've been listening to that as well, noodle. Its the only one I have from Boxcutter and its great!
-
Eminem's new album Relapse - It's terrible compared to his older stuff like the Slim Shady LP and the Marshall Mathers LP. At some points it is actually unlistenable.
Green Day's new album 21st Century Breakdown - Again, practically unlistenable.
-
^I've been listening to that as well, noodle. Its the only one I have from Boxcutter and its great!
Make sure to get Glyhpic then, another great piece of work.

New Dream Theater album.
I've hated the last three and constantly live in hope they'll get back to how good they were befe Train Of Thought but no luck. Though I do prefer this so far to the last three, we'll see if it grows on me.
I'm taken aback by Portnoy introducing things it transpires he's very weak at though, blastbeats in A Nightmare... and he evidentally has no power in his left hand at that pace. A surprise.

Wolfsbane: Down Fall The Good Guys
had Live Fast, Die Fast on yesterday. was amazed to suddenly realise how much it was like Van Halen! on ...Good Guys they seemed to find more of their own voice, and much better production. i really like these two albums, but apart from the fact that Blaze was in Iron Maiden for a while and Jase Edwards has been working with Ginger recently, i have no idea what happened after the second album. maybe i should find out...?

There was a great live album called "Massive Noise Injection", that was recorded at the Marquee. A mate of mine was lucky enough to be at that show too. Ironically, I have a Wolfsbane gig ticket from a different Marquee show signed by Steve Harris, Janick Gers and Bruce Dickinson who I bumped into there. ;)
Then there was a self-titled album which I was released around the time Blaze left to join Maiden and effectively killed the band. The version I have was a double CD, with a bunch of extra tracks (including a great cover of For You, originally by Anti-Nowhere League).
Both of those are great albums. Plus of course between "Live Fast, Die Fast" and "Down Fall The Good Guys" was an EP called "All Hell's Breaking Loose Down At Little Kathy Wilson's Place!".
All of those are definitely worth having. The "Wolfsbane" album is probably my favourite that they did. I was gutted that they split up.
I hope they reform to do another tour like they did in 2007. I missed that one. :(

-
:D I think I have all those Wolfsbane albums, didn't realise I had a complete set! Not sure if I have the 2-CD version of the self-titled album, though, I must check later.
Wasn't Massive Noise Injection originally released on vinyl only, and they mastered it extra-loud or something like that? It's one of the last things I bought on vinyl.
-
thanks Muttley. it turns out the Wolfsbane album and Massive Noise Injection were later released as a 2 disc set called Lifestyles Of The Broke And Obscure, so i've ordered a copy of that. can't find the 2 disc re-issue of Wolfsbane. i remember reading about "...Kathy Wilson" in Kerrang!, and seeing an interview with Blaze on a late night rock show which i think was presented by Phil Alexander and Ricky Warwick's wife. they showed the video to Manhunt, which i just loved! but i could never find a copy of the album. later i got Down Fall The Good Guys, and a couple of years ago i got Live Fast, Die Fast.
Philly, i have a notion it was The Almighty's live album, Blood, Fire and Live, that was the "extra loud mastered, vinyl only" release, although i could be wrong. probably am. in fact that's definately wrong. although i have no doubt i'm right. yep, it was the Almighty. or Wolfsbane.

Yeah, Lifestyles of the Broke... is the main disc of Wolfsbane and Massive Noise Injection. PM me if you're having trouble getting hold of the other stuff. ;)

I didn't think it was possible to really push mastering volume on vinyl, or you just end up with an unplayable record.
Denim n Leather?
-
thanks Muttley, i may just do that :)
nfe, the live album is probably just compressed to hell! no dynamics, just short of clipping at all times. i have 7" EP from Bootleg Booze records, i can't remember who it is, but it's mastered ridiculously loud and isn't really playable. the music just distorts and i think the needle actually has trouble staying in the grooves!
the first record i remember coming out that was claimed to be louder than anything else was Pantera's Far Beyond Driven. haven't listened to it recently, but i think it sounded ok.

Oh I dunno about technicalities, that was just the way they sold it at the time. It's a double LP, so not too much crammed on any one side... if that makes any difference. Probably just marketing hype.

OK, just to finish the story, the LP has a sticker on the front saying "Loudest Cut Ever". It was a limited edition of 3,000 copies.
God knows what it sounds like, I haven't had a working turntable for years.
(Edit: It also has two bonus tracks which I don't think are on the CD version.)

On the way into and home from work today I had a whole smorgasbord of music on:

And the Wolfsbane catalogue!

Jeff Buckley. Live at Sin-e - Legacy edition. Very good stuff, some great reworkings of old songs, rough versions of songs that made it on to Grace and lovely tele/fender combo tones. Great voice too.
-
Devin Townsend Project - Ki
New mellow/chilled (mostly) album from Devy. Signed copy arrived this morning together with a hand-written note thanking me for buying it. :)
Not listend to all of it yet, but I feel this is going to be a lovely chill-out album.
-
Nas - It Was Written
-
i got that Wolfsbane 2 discer, with the "Wolfsbane" album and the live one; good stuff! i think the word for the album is "aggressive!" it's just flat out from start to finish! the live album's great fun too.
also had on "anthf***in'ology" by The Almighty. the remastered tracks off the first couple of albums really sound great, i wish they'd re-release the whole records! the original sounds awful now after hearing these remastered tracks.

I've been listening to Wolfsbane a lot since you and Muttley mentioned them the other day. That last album is great, such a shame they split before it was even released!
And the live album is hilarious, all the abuse Blaze hurls at the audience (although it would've pissed me off a bit had I been there on the night).

Reverend Horton Heat - Lucky 7

Overlooking Mr Endless Drummer's Awards shoddy blastbeat :lol:
-
Scorpions - Blackout 8) 8) 8)
DYNAMITE!!
-
Jurassic 5 <-- Not sure which album but it's wicked.
-
Simon McBride - Rich man falling.
He is a Prs & H&K endorsee, supports artists like Joe Bonammassa and Jeff Beck etc on tours and plays at shows for PRS.
The album is basically hendrix/SRV re-incarnate and is awsome.
-
Boards of Canada - Geogaddi
I love this "band"
-
subway to sally - kreuzfeuer
god knows why, judging from some review i've read it seems i am one of the few to like it, at least in italy. but i REALLY like it!

Black Sabbath

I don't get it. It's just noise, :lol:
Fun to play loudly I guess...

draconian - turning season within
not their best album but still the best gothic doom band in the world (including my dying bride)!

Architects - Hollow Crown
Brutal techy metal stuff! Are they related to The Safety Fire in any way? The vocals sound quite similar sometimes and TSF vocalist is pretty unique sounding.
-
Recently I've been listening to aloy of KOAN sound.
http://www.myspace.com/koansound
This is music AS PHAT AS IT GETS!!!!!!!!!
Also Bat for Lashes, the Ergo Proxy Soundtracks, and Hans Zimmers Angels and Demons soundtrack.
Not a huge amount of guitar music.

Small Brown Bike. $%&#ing awesome band. Just wicked. I keep straying from them, but I always come back and it's always like a big exciting storm gust of fresh air.

ZZ Top - Tres Hombres.

Lawnmower Deth - Mower Liberation Front :D
lmao, top quality - I loved 'watch out grandma', an underated classic. I've still got their split LP with Metal Duck on vinyl featuring classics such as 'march of the metal ducks to the ponds of hell' and 'I got the claps and me knob fell off'. they were both like thrash versions of the Mac Lads which is reason enough to like them (Fluffy Pup anyone?)

They've reformed and are playing Download this year too. ;)
Oddly enough, the last time I went to Donington I stayed at Pete Lee's (better known as Qualcast Mutilator) flat the night before. Long story. He was (possibly still is) married to a friend of my girlfriend at the time's sister. This means I'm one of the few people to have seen the rather dodgy Lawnmower Deth documentary video that they filmed themselves while on tour, etc. :D

^^ i like that :)
anyway, got two cd's yesterday; Chickenfoot and the 25th anniversary re-issue of Whitesnake's Slide It In.
had Chickenfoot on in the gym last night. admittedly, not the best environment for trying out new music! it sounds good enough, but didn't quite grab me. will certainly listen to it more though, it may well be a grower. between Ronnie James Dio, the ever youthful Alice Cooper, Brian Johnson and now Sammy Hagar, it seems all the singers i'm listening to these days are OLD! and they all still got it!
this morning i put on Slide it In. believe it or not, i'd never heard the US version of this album. i like it! was very much enjoying it in the car. i'll have to do a comparison of the two versions to see just how different they sound.

Joanna Newsom - Ys
Yeah she may sound like a strangled cat but I LOVE IT. This album is everything I'd hoped it would be. (I only just got it. Late to the game I know, but I try not to get artist's new albums until I've thoroughly exhausted the old ones, and I can't listen to the old one anymore because it reminds me too much of my ex girlfriend and I'm liable to break down :? )
I love music that really sounds like nothing else. Creating a unique sound nowadays must be quite a difficult task (everything's been done before), yet a few artists, some well-known and some not-so-well-known still seem to be pulling it off and that makes me happy.

I know it's a classic, but I've never really listened to this before (except everyday everynight through the wall from some neighbours in the 80s!), but the missus just bought Legend remastered, and I did a little search on spotify and found it,
ooooh...
I think we might have to buy this.

yeah, my cousin's seen them twice and says they're great. was talking to a girl at work today, she went to see them in Barcelona in February. she was standing in the queue outside the venue when they announced they were cancelling!! a lot of unhappiness ensued.
i'm looking forward to it. although, much as i like the first 3 albums, i just can't get into the latest one.

but also find the names hilarious :lol:

The Steel Panther album just arrived :D Sounds a bit more 'produced' than the Metal Skool versions of a couple of songs.
Well priced at £8.99 at HMV too, well worth the sh!ts and gigs
Saw them live last night in London
Was possibly the best gig I've ever seen
That's high praise indeed! :o :D

Full opinion would be good, I wanna know the feeling without the festival atmostphere!
Was Satchel playing through a pair of Marshalls again?

Indeed - they were that good
It was the perfect mix of comedy and truly awesome good time hard rock
The onstage banter was as important as the songs in some ways
I laughed more than I have ever done at a stand up comedy gig (and I love good stand up comedy)
And it was an hour and a half of fist in the air good rocking fun
They played pretty much all of their new album Feel the Steel and encored with Motley's Kickstart My heart and also with Van Halen's Panama.
I was already a fan of the band in their previous incarnation as Atomic Punks and they do Van Halen better than Van Halen.....and Motley would kill to sound as good
Was Satchel playing through a pair of Marshalls again?
Yes Satchel (Russ Parish) played through a pair of Marshall JCM2000 heads and had a great sound
He also did an amazing solo spot, where he ended up playing drums and guitar together
The "airhead" bass player got a "hair solo" and spent much of the gig preening in front of a mirror, like he does in the Death to all but Metal video
There is some youtube footage up already.
It was such good fun!
-
I've just ordered the Seel Panthers album from Amazon - hope it's worth it! Also ordered the Chickenfoot album with it, hope that is okay but not expecting too much!!
-
THE chickenfoot album is ok
Lyrics lack a bit - typical with Hagar some might say
The Steel Panther album is so laden with melodic hooks , both guitar and vocal - you'll find yourself humming it
You can end up playing spot the original tune , as some of the songs have lifted generously from classic hair metal songs
There is a lot of Bon Jovi, Poison, Warrant, Whitesnake, Motley Crue etc etc in there
But you'll be humming a tune or 3 with lyrics that you wouldn't chose to sing in front of your granny
-
Sounds good - looking forward to it now!
-
i got the steel panther album a couple of days ago and gave it a spin. lord that's obscene!! some of it's pretty funny, and it's definately getting a play at a party! i think i'd get sick of it pretty soon though. does do a great job of sending up 80's hair metal though, the bio's in the sleeve notes are great!
how about a tour with Steel Panther and Dream Evil? :)
oh, and Manowar PDT_008
-
just got the steel panther album...brilliant, but how come the darkness got derided for doing he same thing?
-
from what i remember, their first album got rave reviews and associations with being the new saviours of rock and i'll admit that it was very good.
I heard a couple of tracks off of the 2nd album and was not a fan, keytars and leotards aplenty.
-
Justin Hawkins was on stage with Steel Panther on Tuesday for 2 songs - they did a Darkness cover as well
I just heard that the Darkness are reforming
Thing is that Ralph Saenz/Michael Starr has a much better voice than Justin
Check out some of the cover versions they do - the Motley Crue ones would make Vince Neil blush
-
Steel Panther --- ROCKS!!
Thanks Jon/Feline for reminding me to check it out. :D

Depeche Mode - live in milan...
i'm much more used to small/medium venues, and seeing it at the the stadium was kinda shocking, because i was at not less than 150 m far from the stage! it took a sniper rifle to follow the action, but i doubt that policemen would have allowed me to get in with one...
anyway DM were simply AWESOME.
and 70000 folks singing, weaving hands and clapping ALL THE TIME are quite a view.

Agreed, i watched half a song the other night, wasnt at all impressed (hense the "half a son"). There are so mnay bands trying to do 80s metal recently, but they all just seem to be taking the piss. Its just like they all wanna play dress up and rip off motley crue songs
Im in an 80s metal band myself, but we actually take it seriously, even though our name may suggest otherwise. We play a mixture of thrash and nwobhm, the extent of our dress ups is just putting on a denim vest and a kramer.
I think we might have to start some fueds with all the fake metal bands around these parts.

:lol:
I haven't heard this Steel Panthers stuff yet. I liked the Darkness, but they didn't seem to be taking the p1ss as far as I was concerned - they seemed to be doing what I do, playing the sort of music they wanted to even if it's "out-of-date". I'll have to check these SP guys out

Well, I was listening to the Mythloria video again, and I think the recording really lets it down.
The riffing does seem to have a lot of Ben's signature to it which detracts from the 70s feel IMO.
Would actually quite like to hear some more proper recorded stuff though.

Err, is this directed at me?
If it is, I don't think saying I thought your band is "actually quite bad" after expecting the playing to be great (I can't remember my exact wording and can't go back to check, I think it's honest. I can't be assed with the abounding sycophancy that's present on most guitar-centric forums. Would it have been less "rude" if I'd detailed why I said I thought it was bad rather than just not liking it?
And the above comment was a joke. I really don't think anyone with a sense of humour could read it as anything bar friendly joshing.
If it wasn't directed at me, never mind.
Why did you take down trhat thread? Not happy with the recording quality or summat?

The Lonely Island - Incredibad

Apologies for celebrating 3000 posts by listening to Abba though! :lol:

Love at First Sting
NO!
Hated their MTV grab attempt. I do love the tour from this album, however (World Wide Live)
:o I don't think Love at First Sting was the MTV grab attempt, it's a great album! "Bad Boys Running Wild", "Rock You Like a Hurricane", "Coming Home", "Big City Nights", "Still Loving You", those are brilliant songs!
I'd say the decline started with Savage Amusement, which (IMO) was a conscious attempt to be more radio-friendly in order to continue the success of LAFS. It was still pretty good, but after that they stopped working with Dieter Dierks, started bringing in the occasional outside writer... they lost their way a bit, and it lasted a long time. I still love 'em though.

I'm listening to 65 Days of Static - The Destruction of Small Ideas
Really liking the instrumental stuff at the minute, get sick of singers skwawking over stuff haha. This is quite good, its like instrumental rock mixed with electronic stuff.

I just keep coming back to Devin Townsend's new album, Ki. I love this album.
When it first popped through the door I wasn't really sure (cr@ppy CD player in the kitchen accompanied by noisy kids is not a good listening environment), but since then I've played it a lot and it's really grown on me to the point that it's probably getting up there with my favourite albums of the last few years. It's very mellow and angsty, and quite different from his previous stuff, but this is a man baring his soul to the world and is incredibly beautiful and moving. There's some wonderfully tasteful guitar going on too; stuff you'd normally expect someone like Gilmour to do. Plus he somehow manages to make clean guitars sound heavy at times.
Here's a few YouTube links containing some stuff from Ki (cr@p audio quality as always with YouTube unfortunately):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2m2JTtu4uGU
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gmLplFmUns
Can't wait for the next album. If it's even half as good as Ki we're got a real treat in store.
I'm sitting here listening to the song Terminal right now, headphones on and cranked; raising a glass to the memory of JT. :(

Just played the other CD I bought when I got this one:
Iron Maiden - Flight 666.
Some great live renditions on this - "Moonchild" is just wonderful, makes me think back to Donnington 1988 :)
-
Need to pick up flight 666, saw it at the movies, but really wanna see the live footage from around the world.
attack! attack!
I think its attack attack! theres a welsh band with the two exclamation marks. So they cant even get originality on a name.

Ulver- Blood Inside
Specifically because it's winding up all the backwards moron AC/DC fans in town for tonights gig who can't understand that a shop selling guitars might sometimes play music that ISN'T rock music.
Alot of them actually seem geniunely offended that none of us are or want to go and see AC/DC too. Usually folks areonly so daft when there's a Vai or Satriani gig on.
So electronic music all day it is.

I listened to the whole thing as kinda background noise haha. Its just so strange how it made that by itself, and manages to keep a beat in the right speaker! I guess I like noise "music" afterall.

a pointless, pretentious and pompous attempt to make some sort of prog-technical trash that ends to be just boring. and i wish the singer was never born.

been getting these new Sabbath re-issues, having been impressed by the Paranoid one. so last week i was listening to Black Sabbath, since yesterday, Master Of Reality. it's not my favourite Sabbath album. some good songs, but i just don't like the sound of it. horribly scooped guitars and murky production. the first album sounds great though! :)
-
Been listening a lot to Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood - Live at Madison Square Garden. Really wish I could have seen them on their tour this year, this album is fantastic and such a great selection of songs too.

the first has the best guitar tone in BS career, IMO

a slight change from sabbath now :)
like Ratrod, i've had a Brian Setzer orchestra cd on, however, the circumstances aren't the same. actually, i had tickets to see Stray Cats in Dublin last year and the buggers cancelled! but i digress...
on Saturday i'm having my annual christmas party! so i've been preparing the music. i've got the Brian Setzer christmas spectacular, and it is fabulous! i've also got the South Park Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo cd, and Twisted Sister's Twisted Christmas, but i haven't listened to it yet.
you're all invited! if you can find my house.... ;)

Not sure if I like it or not yet..
edit - got bored of that so have White Blood Cells by The White Stripes on now :) I dont get why people hate this band, they're probably the best popular/mainstream rock band of the 00s so far. Catchy songs. Jack has awesome tone as well.
-
Bob Dylan's been costing me a lot of money recently. Not directly, I have all the Dylan albums I think I'm likely to want but he keeps playing tracks on "Theme Time Radio Hour" that I have to have and that leads me onto buying more by these featured artists. Case in point this week is I've bought two zydeco albums, one by Clifton Chenier and another by Clarence Garlow. Who knew accordion could be so groovy? Both are awesome. Bon Ton Roulet all the way!

Amanda $%&#ing Palmer. She won't leave me alone. her songs haunt me even when i manage to put her off!

I really like the track Prowlers, even though I think Papa Roach ripped off the riff.
I've been listening to a lot of Aereogramme as usual, but adding in more great British bands- Fighting with wire and As I watched you from afar. Oh and I've even got an Opeth album! Though it's the non screamy acoustic one, it's pretty good!

I don't know if like it either. I thought the same thing.
It's the sort of music that KICKS ARSE in dramatic parts of nature programs.

I find that album really mood dependent. If I'm not in the right head-space for that album I can find it very twee. If I am in the right place it's amazing. Beautifully recorded too: sounds great through decent hi-fi.

I really love this one mostly for the awesome video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmXMA34CeoQ
Their music seems like itd fit really well in dramatic parts of films and stuff as indy says:)

Rush
I've bought most of the recent Japanese paper sleeve SHM-CD reissue series of the first 12 studio albums (I still need to get Hemispheres and Permanent Waves in this format).
I love paper sleeve editions because of the vinyl nostalgia, plus I've noticed the mastering on these (which is from '97 so I guess it's the same as the remasters series) seems slightly quieter i.e. more dynamic than some other versions I've heard.
Jim Hall - Live
This is a great guitar album, a great jazz album, and above all an amazing jazz guitar album.
Jim's tone is stunning and his playing is sublime.
Highly recommended for anyone who likes jazz or wants to get into jazz guitar.
Caravan - In The Land Of Grey And Pink
Possibly my favourite Canterbury scene band (definitely my girlfriend's favourite) and this is a fine album showing their mix of eclectic pop and folk/prog.
Check them out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZwjDXt-zjM&feature=PlayList&p=A4481A8695B4D56C&index=12 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZwjDXt-zjM&feature=PlayList&p=A4481A8695B4D56C&index=12)

Evacuate The Dancefloor - Cascada

IMO it has lost the essence of the Everytime We Touch album. Simple melody and then pump it out. More pop than her Eurotrance kind of style.

Cascada is terrible, terrible music :P

au contraire _tom_ : its extremely formulaic well researched high octane electronic dance music. its well worth a listen to any aspiring songwriter.

That's interesting. I find the paper sleeve editions a bit annoying, they're a reminder of how cr@p CD packaging is compared with vinyl LPs!
I still have all the early Rush stuff on vinyl anyway, not that I have anything to play them on (but then again, nobody in "real life" listens to Rush... :wink: :P )

Is it worth actually getting the album then? I have only heard the one song on the radio, and not really that keen on it. IS there much stylistic variation on this one?

i quite like it to be honest with you, but it IS different.. having said that there are some traditional cascada style tunes on there

You're quite right, typical CD packaging is usually quite poor but with the paper sleeve I can imagine the beauty of the original LP sleeve/innersleeve/insert (although I know it's not a substitute for the original)
Plus these CDs have a much warmer sound than I've heard before, even when ripped to MP3s

ZZ Top's First Album

Halford - Ressurection
Big album!

Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime
Been hammering this album for over 20 years and I still never tire of it. Fantastic stuff.
-
Babylon A.D. - Nothing Sacred
-
Feeling all melancholy tonight and listening to the most depressing songs I can find at short notice.
The Johnny Cash version of Hurt could push anyone over the edge - something very ominous about it.

Y&T - TEN
Awesome hard rock album
(http://img.snowrecords.com/cd/1/9584.jpg)
Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime
Yup - awesome !
Still playing that one 21 years later
Halford - Ressurection
Possibly the best "Priest" album of the decade
Pissed all over Demolition IMO - no wonder they had to get Rob back in the band
Halford's gig at the London Astoria 2 was fab
-
Y&T - TEN
Awesome hard rock album
It's not one of my favourites, there are a couple of tracks I'm not so keen on... but also some mind-bogglingly brilliant stuff like Hard Times, Come in From the Rain and especially Ten Lovers!

Such a great live album. I especially love the live versions of Bad Penny and Follow me. Great performance!

Rod Stewart- Every Picture Tells a Story

Jimmy Eat World - Static Prevails. Awesome album, I think I may prefer it to Bleed American actually, mostly for the singing style.

Yesssss
I'm listening to Goddamnit! by Alkaline Trio. Continuing the late '90s punk thing...
I also just finished reading 'Post Office' by Charles Bukowski (started it a few hours ago :lol: ), and I always think the first Alkaline Trio album goes very well with Bukowski.
-
lots of banging hardcore (of the rave kind)
for example:

i love filthy dubstep and drum'n'bass very much too. sometimes i can't decide if i prefer metal or rave - combination of the both is the best of course.
-
Mostly listening to:

Chickenfoot - Chickenfoot
Allman Brothers - Best of (trying to learn Jessica)

curiously enough, given the recent 80's hair metal thread, i've been listening to Soundgarden, both Louder Than Love and Badmotorfinger. great stuff!

I've been asked to write an article for webzine about the 2D game engine I've been writing over the last couple of years off-and-on. Therefore I need some good motivational music, and for that purpose have chosen to queue up the following:
Voivod - Nothingface
Devin Downsend Project - Ki
Now if I can resist the temptation to keep visiting various favourites on the Internet, I'm sorted............. DOH!
-
The Raconteurs - Consolers of the Lonely. I like, its way more rock than the first album.
-
Various samples of gunfire and explosions. very boring.
trying to put together some war samples for our ep
-
The new Enuff Z'Nuff album "Dissonance". It's really bloody good actually. Unfortunately only available on Japanese import currently.
-
i'll be seeing Metallica and Mastodon on Saturday, so they're both gettin a spin! Death Magnetic in the car and i'll be Cracking the Skye when i go home

Mercyful Fate - Melissa

The Pixies - Surfer Rosa & Come On Pilgrim (on same CD). Could never really get into thenm before, but thought I'd stick with it and now it's growing on me.

Yeah - stick with it. Some of the stuff on there is a bit naff but Bone Machine, Broken Face, The Holiday Song, Gigantic, Where is my Mind and Break my Body are all great songs.
-
Ha ha, just flicked past broken face as it's shiteee :lol:
Vamos is pretty cool though.

That was my opinion when I first heard it. It does grow on you (after about 20 listens!)
-
Crotch rot grows on you too, but I don't want that in my life either. :P
Levitate me is a good song. Think I'll put this CD back in my motor and give it a few more goes. Definately a lot better than I remember it.
Just about to stick Jurassic 5 back on. If you can download music, I think the track is called "Lesson 6" (dunno, probably on youtube somewhere too). Got the best drum beat ever and after about 2 minutes when they slow a 45rpm record to 33rpm and start druming over the top of it is perhaps my favorite bit of music at the minute. Everyone I've played it to thinks it's especially funky, it's the type of music that makes you rock forwards and backwards rather than side to side.
-
Pearl Jam - Yellow Ledbetter. Trying to learn the intro/verse bits of guitar and its doing my head in, cant quite get it :(
-
Steel Panther - Feel The Steel
Clutch - Strange Cousins From The West
wow...!!!just discovered CLUTCH...got STRANGe COUSINS..where Have I been the last 15 yrs?I have listened to some of their earlier stuff as well..I am drawn towards their bluesier side(that damn Cypress Grove is smokin'!!)...any suggestions on best Clutch albums??(I still call them albums...) :)
-

Shame the production is gash though. Really poorly mixed in my opinion, some songs are ruined by the drums being too loud or vocals too quiet. Steve Albini can be useless sometimes.
been listening to a lot of Sucioperro recently. I'd recommend them highly, my second favorite band. www.myspace.com/sucioperro (http://www.myspace.com/sucioperro)

Clutch is most definitely my favourite band in the world in space (whose members are under the age of 50, anyway :wink: ).
They haven't done any bad albums (I call them albums too :lol: ), but the first two are a little more hardcore-ish, then they went to more of a stoner sound (bear in mind I'm not very good on "definitions" of different types of rock/metal...). It was never really sludgy though, they always had great songs and brilliant lyrics.
I'd say they started getting bluesier and groovier around the time of Blast Tyrant and Robot Hive/Exodus - those two albums are great - then the last two have been really very bluesy indeed.
Actually, a good place to start is the rarities compilation Slow Hole to China. It used to be quite hard to get hold of, but it's been re-released this year with a few extra tracks.
-
thanks Philly!!I am going to dive in...they are playing a few hours away in a month or so...contemplating going, but I bet there is a fair amount of moshing..(not my scene...)really like the new one....kicks ass!going to try to get my hands on Blast and Robot,and I see China is offered on I tunes....I am big fan now-my kind of rock

There wont be ANY.
Sensational live band. Neil Fallon is probably my favourite singer in rock.
-
seriously?
I do dig his vocals and lyrics....sounds like a meat grinder/lyrics have a stream of conciousness vibe-I dig his story about the song "50,000 watts .."...says the lyrics popped into his head while driving to the beer store.."anthrax,ham radio, and liquor..."....its been in my head all day :)
-
Pagans Mind - Infinity Divine
-
Theres something about the vocals in Clutch which I find really grating. He has a huge voice but after a few songs it really gets on my tits. I also find them a bit overrated, lots of ok songs with a few really great ones. Maybe I have the wrong albums (Pure Rock Fury and Blast Tyrant)
Pagans Mind - Infinity Divine
hahah so cheesy, I havent listened to them for ages.
-
The new Enuff Z'Nuff album "Dissonance". It's really bloody good actually. Unfortunately only available on Japanese import currently.
The same.
Although, curiously enough, Windows Media Player thinks the CD is something called "The Harvest Floor" by Cattle Decapitation. :lol:

a high gain amp shootput i found on the marshall amp forum. done by the same guys that did the pickup shootout that was mentioned in here somewhere a few months ago. so far a dave friedman modded marshall is my favourite. less gain than the diezel and bogner alongside it, but it just sounds fabulous! and a modded 1971 marshall supertremolo sounds pretty excellent too.
the guitars they're using include ones with Cold Sweats and Rebel Yells. cold sweat sounds great!

I assume you meant supporting motorhead? Was that recently? I saw them at the birthday bash at the hammy odeon (or wotever apollo it is now) a couple of years ago, and admittedly girlschool was a bit sad - it was almost like they'd got together again to do the gig and hadn't bothered rehearsing. But back in 80/81 they were pretty good live.

-
Black Crowes - Before the frost...
The CD is black!! With grooves on it :lol:
I was dubious whether it would play - but it do :D
-
Planes Mistaken for Stars.
I'm not sure if i like them; the first album is a bit emo, and the rest are are a bit 'alternative'...
-
Er... Black Crowes - Before the Frost... again!!
I haven't done this for years - listened to new album, it finished, and I had to put it on again, all the other things I'm meant to be doing this morning can wait...
I quite liked Warpaint, but after the initial "yeah", I do find it a bit "background music" and I don't listen to it too often - not even commuting, it's the only black crowes album not on my mp3 player, for example.
I'm not sure how this new one will pan out after a few weeks - but I love it :D
-
Styrofoam
-
Fugazi - Red Medicine. It is most good.
Now its Black Moth Super Rainbow - Eating Us. You should all check out this band, they're so good if you like slow/relaxing/soothing type stuff. The vocals may take a while to grow but when they do they're great.
-
Just bought a few more CD's and listening through them at the minute:
TV On The Radio - Dear Science.... Really good but only listened to it once. Couple of absolute pearlers on there. Gloden Age is really good.
John Martyn - Anthology (only £3).... Obviously good.... if you flick past the 80's stuff (which is just aweful)
Sizzla - Ghetto Youth-ology.... Brilliant, but going to have to keep it in the car as trhe missus hates it. Reminds me of our honeymoon. We made friends with a Rasta who ran a shop and spent a lot of time there getting drunk and "smoking the cigarette of Bob Marley" as he put it after I was playing Bob Marley on the guitar and he was playing it on the bongos..... "So do you smoke the cigarette of Bob Marley?"
Dancehall '69 (40 Skinhead Reggae Rarities).... Basically a Trojan Records compliation. Absolitely awesome, the wife and in-laws aren't to keen but what do they know. Got CD 2 on at the minute and it's excellent, very bouncy, good for a slightly hung over Sunday morning (even though I'm trying to do work)...... they all do sound a bit like Message to Rudy though :lol:

Dissection - The Somberlain

Audioslaves self titled. I dont get why people hate em so much, this album contains so much rawk.
Oh and a bit of Lady Gaga's "The Fame". Quite like it actually though some songs can get really annoying.

I used to be a big Geo. Lynch fan, but his playing and tone seemed to go off when he became a steroid jockey....
-
Muse - Origin of Symmetry. Still cant tell whether I like Muse, or $%&#ing hate them :?
edit - just listened to the whole of Eating Us by Black Moth Super Rainbow through our lovely Mordaunt Short speakers, whilst drinking beers on the balcony (yeah I'm a student and have a balcony!). Pure bliss :)

The Lynch Mob album "Smoke & Mirrors" is FINALLY a return to form. All the classic elements plus some growth...
He hasn't dropped another turd on us (like so much of his recent output). It's a very good album.

re mastered Beatle albums and I am loving it.
Which ones?
I was debating this the other week. I have all the existing CDs, and, well, the new box sets are ££££ owch at the moment...
I reached the conclusion (without any personal experience, I have to say) that as the main reported improvement seems to be in volume (there is some clarity, apparently, but once the old CDs are turned up to the same volume, I understand the difference is not huge...) then I might be better off keeping my hands in my pockets right at the moment...
I am seriously tempted by the mono remasters (apparently hearing Revolver, etc, even Sgt Pepper, as the Beatles and George Martin actually mixed them is something of a "wow!"), but you can only get them as a box set, not individually :(
I'm still wondering whether they're "potential xmas pressies" - but of course, that is the market they've aimed at, so it makes me wonder...
I know what the answer is, "buy one and see what you think". But I can only get individuals from the "stereo" set, and I know what I'm like, if I get one, it'll be louder, and I'll end buying them all :lol:
STILL - it has made me listen to all of the albums a-fresh, and there's been some big smiles on my face on London Underground for a week or two :D

I'm curious to hear how these remasters compare to MoFi and similar high end versions.
For example, I've got hold of two copies of Sgt Peppers and the difference is startling, bearing in mind it's the mastering NOT the mixing that's different.
-
Right now it's Bjorks first two solo albums.
Hrrgggg.
-
Been listening to a lot of Brand New, decided their second album sums up my life pretty well right now, so the album cover shall be my next tattoo.
Oh and I want the Beatles mono box set, heard some tracks and they were amazing. I always thought mono=bad but the clarity is fantastic and little parts really stand out more.
-
Andy/Gingataff-I have gone down the route of getting the Stereo versions and bought some with some birthday money from my Mum from last year and Mrs 38th has got me some-in fact I now have all but Past Masters.For sure the early albums are still weird (with instruments on one side and vocals on another)but I find that my brain adapts. The later albums sound far more clearer with plenty of presence and more balanced. I found the original CD releases to show too many flaws in terms of production-the tape his and edits whereas the re masters are more enjoyable. Abbey Road is superb in my opinion and the White Album also benefits.The acoustic tracks have a warmth and richness to them. I am probably in the rose tinted stage still. I have liked the Beatles since I was a wee lad and so for me this was important but I realise that they are not to everyone's taste and that is fine with me.
-
Thanks for that 38th :D
- I read so much stuff about them a few weeks ago, I ended up not sure what to think! It's useful having the opinion of someone who I vaguely "know" :lol:
The biggest problem I have is that I "want" both sets.
I'm with Badger over the stereo-mono thing. I'm used to hearing the "weird" 60s stereo mixes, I quite like it even. When I first got Pet Sounds, I was thinking "what's this stereo album followed by mono album on the same disk all about?!". I couldn't imagine who'd want to listen to the mono. But after a bit, I found the mono mixes sort of more, well, "right".
I only found out the other week that Brian Wilson arranged and did all the tracking for mono - that's what he prefered, so it's what he created, not the stereo... and that the Beatles and George Martin "finished" a song (certainly up to Sgt P, possibly even the White Album), as far as they were concerned, when they'd mixed the mono master - that was what they created, then they went home and left it to "engineers" to create stereo mixes with the mono mixes as guidelines... Apparently John Lennon is well documented from the late 70s saying "What's with these stereo recordings, the voices are coming out one speaker and the drums out the other, what the f***? Who did that?!!"
And then, I remembered that "the Beatles" I heard when I was 5-7 years old, the stuff that got me, was on the radio... it was always mono!
Oh dear... this is gonna be expensive!! :lol:

Alice in Chains - Black Gives Way to Blue. It's a fantastic piece of work.
-
Lynyrd Skynyrd - God & Guns
Not a patch on the old days, and the lyrics are really heavy on the bible-thumpin', blue-collar man, Second Amendment stuff. But some good tunes, nonetheless.

Grad yourself a copy of Dirt. It's dark as hell - not one to listen to if you're feeling down - but an absolute classic nonetheless.
Philly - I was thinking of getting God and Guns. Would you recommend it overall?

I find it quite enjoyable to listen to, but it is pretty cheesy. The rockier tracks are good, the ballad/country ones less so!
Lynyrd Skynyrd 2009 are much more in the .38 Special/Molly Hatchet league than the Lynyrd Skynyrd 1977 league, if you see what I mean. :wink:
-
the Beatles remasters.
i've been amazed by just how good some of the mono stuff sounds! there's a girl at work who's reaction is "i hate the beatles, all just silly songs. yellow submarine, help, a little help from my friends. cr@p" she'll have to be introduced to eleanor rigby and friends :)
the early stereo mixes are bizarre, how anyone thought that was a good idea i'll never know.
what's annoying about the whole thing is that a few years ago the talk was that the back catalogue was being prepared for release on DVD-Audio, with the original masters remastered in 24bit 192Khz, and possibly new surround mixes. having heard how amazing the Love album sounded in Hi-Res, and the Doors DVD-A boxset, i was really looking forward to that. so, great as these remasters are, it could have been better.
i reiterate my view that SACD and DVD-A were an enormous missed opportunity and peoples' mass migration downwards to mp3 instead is a virtual crime.

I haven't listened to any AIC since Dirt, and that was when the album just came out but I took the plunge and bought Black Gives Way To Blue based on you guys' approval (is it a coincidence that it was released over here today??) and so far I'm really enjoying it.
Thanks lads!

I heard 'still unbroken' on planet rock about 4 weeks ago, then later went on youtube trying to find out who the band was. Definately would not have guessed it was L.S!
Just bought the album anyway, I really do like that song.

No worries man, glad you're enjoying it!
Cheers Philly. I've had a listen to a few more tracks now - not bad stuff, but I see what you mean about being more in the Molly Hatchet league in some places. Still, there's some decent tunes there, from what I've heard so far.

Just got that new Paramore album, Brand New Eyes. Its pretty damn good, up to the usual standard! The guitar tones are awesome.

Much thanks to Messrs Powell, Turner and Wisefield for helping me through my last week of training before my 10k run on Sunday! :)

I've been listening to LOADS of Rory Gallagher since getting my new strat.
But, the other day I heard of Joanne Shaw Taylor during some lunchtime web-surfing - her website: http://www.pigs-ear.biz/jst/index.html (http://www.pigs-ear.biz/jst/index.html), don't look if you don't like bulbous bits (on geetars, wot did you fink I meant? :lol:).
Just found her album on spotify - :o

Listening to it now, yeah it's pretty good. Nothing stands out like the tracks on Riot! though.
-
Thanks for the tip AndyR. I just watched some videos of Joanne Shaw Taylor on youtube... she's really good... and just 23! She could really be something else in a few years. I like that she keeps her rig/sound nice and simple... telecaster, twin, tubescreamer, wah and a little compression as required. Her voice has a nice enough soulful sound but her guitar playing is better (IMHO). I'm no expert but although it still sounds a little rough round the edges to me, at 23, she's got plenty time to smooth it all out. Impressive young woman.

I've only listened to the album so far, and yes I agree - nice enough voice (will get better I think), but it's the guitar playing that makes the jaw drop... first of all it's someone only 23, and then it's a girl... one's preconceptions need readjustment!! :lol:

Great to see some B.B. King appreciation ! My original - and enduring guitar hero. Saw him / met him at Edinburgh Playhouse in 1982, when both of us still had brown hair ; a true Gentleman, showman - and master of phrasing. It will be a sad day when he finally leaves the stage ... 8)

Guns N' Roses - Chinese Democracy
Again.
I still need to check that out. Whats it like?
Listening to a lot of ZZ Top at the moment. Seeing them in Wolverhampton tomorrow night, should be good fun!
-
Listening to the first Dizzee Rascal album. It's more Nine Inch Nails than 50 cent. Really tricky listening, asymmetrical beats and sparse arrangements that's needing a lot of concentration. But blow me it's good.
-
Hypocrisy - a taste of extreme divinity
typical hypocrisy album... and it's not a bad thing at all! a bit faster and more brutal than usual but with their trademark melodies and atmospheres...
-
Guns N' Roses - Chinese Democracy
Again.
I still need to check that out. Whats it like?
Before answering that, I should say that (a) I never expected it to actually be released and (b) when it was released, I expected it to be utter garbage.
But on very first listen I thought "hey, this is really good". And on subsequent listens, I thought "this is absolutely brilliant". A total surprise. Axl Rose may actually be a genius. :)
(I seem to be in the minority though. And bear in mind that I don't like anything else they did after Appetite. And I've never really been a fan of Mr Slash, so I don't miss him.)
-
i've listened to Chinese Democracy on and off over the last few months. it's definately a "quality" record, but it doesn't have the immediacy or balls of the old stuff. but then, it is twenty years later! my only real complaint about it is that the songs all seem to have a similar tempo, so it does sometimes seem to blend into one.
-
I've only heard clips of Chinese Democracy. I'm tempted to give it a go. My expectations won't be that it is another Appetite....

Good man, I've got that. There's some real speaker blowers on it.
Been listening to a lot of reggee recently. At the minute mainly The First - Ganja Farmer. Also the orginal version of what the Prodogy sampled "I'm transending to outerspace - to fiiiiiiiind another race", but I don't know who it's by.
Been listening to a fair bit of Walter Trout and Ry Cooder too.
-
my only real complaint about it is that the songs all seem to have a similar tempo, so it does sometimes seem to blend into one.
That is true, it feels like one "piece", almost as if it's a concept album. At first I thought it could do with some short, punchy songs like "Welcome to the Jungle" or "It's So Easy", but I'm happy with it now. It's got a big, "produced" kind of sound (but without being bloated and pompous). Makes me think of Queen somehow, although it sounds nothing like Queen!
I know some people don't think the guitar styles of Buckethead, Robin Finck and Ron Thal fit in Gn'R, but I think they're great. There are some shreddy solos, but they're melodic and they fit the songs perfectly. Precision shred!
-
i didn't even notice the shredding until i went back and specifically looked for it! the guitar playing is classy and restrained, all the players show consummate skill. i suppose that could be a weakness, the album doesn't really have "guitar hero" moments like Sweet Child O' Mine or Estranged. depends on your point of view really. i like the album, just wish it hadn't taken so long. i hope it's true that there is a second volume already in the can!
says a lot that we're still talking about Chinese Democracy now

well i just spent about 45 minutes on youtube trying to find a piece of classical music that i got into my head. you know when you know you know it but can't think of it? really annoying. i had it narrowed down to beethoven from the start and it still took me 45 minutes... :oops: turned out it was the third movement of his violin concerto. badass.
more guitar-related: listening to greg howe on youtube, sunny. Never really listened to much of his stuff before (though i've listened to most of the other shredders), but that's the awesomeness of youtube.

Foreigner - 1st four albums
Some cheesy stuff, but Lou Gramm is surely one of the finest singers to ever draw breath. If they'd had a Neal Schon-like guitarist they'd have been so awesome.
(They did Ok for themselves, though, so what do I know? :lol: )
-
been listening to Aerosmith (Pump) for the past couple of days - thats a crackin album, as good as the old stuff, just different.
also listening to some Bad Company (Straight Shooter).

Just to be awkward, Pump was the beginning of the end for me. I love Permanent Vacation (even though they were already using outside songwriters) but then it all started to go wrong.
I can't describe how much I hate some of the later singles like "Crazy" and "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing", they're just horrible. And to make it worse, people inisist on singing them whenever there's a "Rock Week" on X Factor or American Idol. :x

I don't want to miss a thing isn't a rock song...it's barely even a pop song! It's just schmaltzy pap.

I did say to Jane that somebody would do "I don't want to miss a thing" when they announced rock week on thje X Factor. When they did do it I went on a rather long rant that it wasn't rock. I don't think any of the songs on there were really rock at all.

Lucie did "Sweet Child O' Mine" (quite well, I thought) and Jedward did "We Will Rock You".
I thought the weirdest one was that so-called rocker Jamie Afro did "Get Your Rocks Off" by Primal Scream, which is NOT rock despite the presence of the word Rock in the title.

Without a doubt the best prog band ever, and one of the best British bands of all time IMHO.
I've always wondered what they're like, but never investigated. I must have heard some of their stuff back in the Friday Rock Show days, but can't remember it at all.
-
just wondered what genre "don't want to miss a thing" and "get your rocks off" fall into?
-

shite.
Sorry, I know that was childish.
-
hahaha.
-
I just gave Cake's "Fashion Nugget" a spin. Still a great album. You gotta love the bass lines.
-
Lucie did "Sweet Child O' Mine" (quite well, I thought) and Jedward did "We Will Rock You".
I thought the weirdest one was that so-called rocker Jamie Afro did "Get Your Rocks Off" by Primal Scream, which is NOT rock despite the presence of the word Rock in the title.
Fair enough - forgot about those! Sweet Child O'mine wasn't really a rock version of the song though - at least I didn't think it was. I did rather like her though. We Will Rock you was just a mess.

It sort of is. I've sort of lost faith in X-Factor after this weekend, I already knew it was a load of shiteee but jedward are $%&#ing ridiculous :lol: The bit where they spoke to each other in that britney spears song was comic genius though :lol:
Olly is a great singer though, I reckon he should win. Jamie is alright but a bit boring now?
-
I really want to smack Louis Walsh in the face. Such childish reactions to anything that he doesn't agree with. How he figured out Jamie was cheating just because he had never heard of the film that he sung a song from was ridiculous.
Anyway, back on thread. I've just had a few Blondie tracks on.
-
haha I know, its obviously all scripted but still somehow manages to be infuriating :P
I'm listening to Blink 182 - Enema of the State :) oh and desparately trying to find inspiration to write some new stuff since I havent recorded anything original for what seems like ages :(
-
I'm not sure if Louis Walsh is intelligent enough to follow a script. Such a cretin.
-
Cowell is such a cretinous tw@t - he complains about how shite Jedward are, then doesn't vote them off when he gets the chance. That show is a f*cking joke - the past two weeks the most talented singers in the bottom two have been voted off. As I said at the time, it boils my piss :rock:
-
Yep. It's all about the best singers. Until it comes to TV ratings.
-
Yep, I don't think it was really fair on Lucie last weekend, as she clearly is the better singer out of her and Jedward, it all boils down to TV ratings and more publicity which just helps adds to Cowell's bank account.
Anyway on topic, after picking up some Deep Purple tickets I'm listening to Deep Purple - Machine Head.
-
They will autotune it anyway when they release their one and only CD.
-
Yep. It's all about the best singers. Until it comes to TV ratings.
We really should stop going on about this on this thread :oops: , but....
I don't believe it is about the best singers. I know Cowell sometimes says "it's a singing contest", but five minutes later he says "you need to be an all-round entertainer" or "nice voice, but you're not a pop star" - basically he uses whatever argument suits him at that moment.
But it's not called "Best Singer", it's called "The X Factor" - that (IMO) means something intangible, star quality, charisma, whatever you want to call it.
Iggy Pop can't sing for toffee, but he sure as hell has "The X Factor". Hardly anyone on XF (the show) ever does. That includes Leona Lewis, by the way, who's beautiful and has a fine voice.... but all the personality and charisma of a fencepost.
At least John & Edward are entertaining - that means they deserve to be there, IMO. And somebody's voting for them.
-
I quite like the X Factor at times. Because it perfectly demonstrates EVERYTHING about the pop industry.
The twins are already made, I reckon. They're gonna walk out of that, maybe have a single, then they're gonna end up co-presenting childrens TV or similar and have a career. And THAT'S what X Foctor's about, making quick cash-in stars. It's got nothing to do with music. It doesn't need to, people buy what they're told.

agreed. i don't watch it, though.
it was the same with strictly come dancing last year (i don't watch it, my mum and sister do so i picked a bit up), complaining about john sargeant for being a bad dancer. If it were about dancing they wouldn't really pick any celebrities, i fear. :lol:
it's an entertainment show, and much as i disagree with that in principle (I don't mean i disagree with entertainment, i mean letting people through who aren't as good because people like them more or they're more entertaining :lol: ), that's pretty much the premise.

Yep, which is further demonstrated by the fact that everybody loses interest after the TV series ends - even the people who get all worked up about it and vote every week.
It's basically about making money from the phone calls and getting the Christmas Number 1 (they had to ruin that, too :x ). The winner gets one guaranteed hit single, one tour, an album of inappropriate cover versions... and they're lucky if they ever release album no. 2.

On topic...
Revenge - Victory. Intolerance. Mastery
Would not appear on X Factor.

Staying on topic...
Gentle Giant, on Spotify, following gingataff's recommendation earlier.

Back to the off topic X Factor discussion.
I read an article claiming that the only real winners in the show was the judges because there's so much focus on them and their personalities. This is certainly true viewed from a Danish perspective. Don't know if it's the same in England. Can someone please comment on it? :D

I've got that on vinyl, and therefore haven't heard it for 20 years. I wonder if it's on Spotify....?

No it isn't Philly. I checked. Got a new copy from Play-a Japanese import.

Oh well, never mind - now I'm on Spotify listening to early Queen. :)

Of course. :oops: That's why I'm listening to Queen. :lol:
They really are atrocious this year. Why the $%&# did "rocker" Jamie Afro do Radio Ga Ga? I've never liked that song. And as for Olly with his David Brent dancing.... :roll:
-
That dancing is very nauseating. I have no idea why Radio Ga Ga was chosen. No idea at all.
I was mildly embarrassed when May and Taylor appeared for the group song.
-
Loreena Mckennit - The mummer's dance
-
The box-set of remastered Kraftwerk albums landed on my desk today at last so I'm working my way through those in no particular order. They sound amazing - the albums no longer sound like the band are in the next room playing through a mattress. Very happy. Haven't been this pleased with a remastering since the early Z Z Top albums got restored to their original state.
-
Dangerdoom - The Mouse and the Mask.

Dangerdoom - The Mouse and the Mask.
YES!

Mumford & Sons - (can't remember the name of the record this early in the morning but its ace)
Baroness - Blue Record (get it, its reet good)
Beyonce - I am...Sasha Fierce (yeah its a bit gay but she has a damn good voice)
Skeletonwitch - Breathing the Fire (NWOTM, its closer to Slayer than Bring Me The Horizon so there aren't any cheesy sub drops/electronic bits or haircuts)
Converge - Axe to Fall (not as good as all the reviews said it would be. Could be a grower)
Mike TV - Mike TV (the UK's answer to Green Day. Witty Punk Pop tunes with great harmonies, if you HAVEN'T heard this band yet then get on YouTube and check out their videos. You'll either love it or hate it)

Mutter - Rammstein.
I think I'll be giving the limited edition box set of the new album a miss though. Surely that sort of stuff is only for 'real' collectors/fans!

Not sure what this X factor arsery might be to which you refer - we've managed to avoid every single thing with an X in it, mainly by not watching ITV I spose - but have you ever listened or watched a live Queen performance of Radio Ga Ga? I utterly loathed it until I saw it live at Knebworth, and then it made a lot of sense (as did my other least favourite, "Under Pwessure") - I like the live versions, but I still don't listen to the studio one if I can avoid it :D
-
On a total NIN bender right now. Got The Fragile on now and been listening to Pretty Hate Machine all weekend. The original version of Hurt is fantastic. $%&# Johnny Cash. That dissonant first chord makes me shiver.
-
John Mayers New album - Battle Studies. YEs it'll annoy the hell outta some on here but, bugger me if it isn't some of the finest pop/soft rock written songs out there. The man can play

What, you don't watch ITV, the Thick People's Channel?
I must have seen Queen (on TV) at Live Aid, and didn't they show one of the big 1986 concerts as well? Still not a fan of that song! :lol:
I like nearly all their other stuff.... that I've heard. Believe it or not, I don't actually own any of their albums :oops: , although my sister had News Of The World and Sheer Heart Attack, and I once long-term-borrowed a copy of Night at The Opera.
-
My girlfriends Mum thinks if you broke a nose a few times of one of the Jedward pair, they would like like me :? Sans the hair

I'd happily break Olly's nose. Or Danyl's. The rest of them are just kids. :wink:

Another treasure from Devin :)
I think his vocals are very good and the inclusion of Anneke van Giersbergen was a great idea. She brings a freshness and beauty to the album which makes a real difference.

Jake E Lee period Ozzy. I seem to have unintentionally built a similar looking guitar to his charvel... wish i could play in an unintentionally similar way :lol: ;)
edit: just looked at a zakk version of 'bark at the moon'... not as good as jake :)
edit 2: come to think of it i prefer Jake's interpretations of Randy and Sabbath numbers too
-
I think Jake is massively overlooked in the pantheon of OZZY guitarists... He just got on with the job and played & wrote superbly.
A monster talent. Not a pinched harmonic in sight! :lol:
-
I think Jake did loads of pinches live. You just didn't notice as whenever he did it, it fit the song.
Think I will put some on later, maybe the 'lets get crazy' live albums
-
Got into Eric Gales by chance last year - some of his songs just send a shiver down my spine!!
-
Jake does throw in a few *tasteful* pinches.
After listening to the first five Ozzy solo albums this afternoon, I have trouble ranking them. But I reckon 'Ultimate Sin' probably ranks along side 'Diary of a Madman'... I do still like 'No Rest For The Wicked' alot though.
Its funny, but the similarities in Zakk, Randy and Jake are fairly strong. I guess Ozzy knows what he likes.
-

I agree, but I want to mention Brad Gillis too. Talk Of The Devil's my favourite Ozzy album.
-

No.. Sharon tells Ozzy what he likes.. and for how long. :?

jake e lee's solo on bark at the moon is one of my favourite solos ever. Load of pinches in there, though. :lol:

This evening there's been excessive Godspeed! You Black Emperor, Cursive, some Bright Eyes, Small Brown Bike, Alkaline Trio, At the Drive-In, Fugazi, Hey Mercedes, Gallows, Refused, American Football, Regina Spektor, Nick Drake, Leonard Cohen, The Postal Service and Cap'n Jazz.
An eclectic mix, I know :/
-
good choice on the cap'n jazz & American Football
do you like Hot Club De Paris? Matt from that band used to be in The Down & Outs, and left to start a band with that Kinsella feel.
I think some of the Refused dudes are doing new stuff (not international noise conspiracy).
I've been on Cold World, Breakdown, War Hungry, Stars, Life of Agony, Madball, Robot Whales.
-

Love, love, LOVE the guitar style and drumming in Hot Club De Paris, but I'm really not sure I can deal with the voice!
-
cos its scouse?
hahaha.
you know, i love that about that band, and the down & outs, and my band. If you've got an accent, may as well sing with it. there is no need for everybody to pretend to be american or c0ckney. (i know that's not what your saying by the way).
-
I really hate false or faked accents. I really think people should sing in their own, it far more interesting.
Logan are my least favourite band in the universe for this reason. Every time I hear their nonsense all I can do is scream "For goodness sake, you're fae Pollock!" in my head.

theyre coming here next year too. we've been getting heaps of horrible tours recently then suddenly 2 of my long time favourites within a month.
-
Past tense? They're back. With likelihood of another album, if chat is to be believed.
-
oo, i knew they reformed for some shows last year, didn't realise it was going as far as new music! i have faith (no pun intended, really!) that those guys can live up to the hype. i'll look forward to that :)
-
yeah my mate saw them over there at download or something, said it was still awesome.
i checked out the recent set list and looks pretty good, good mix of old and new.
be cooler if jim martin was back in the mix, but i think there was never any chance of that happening
i wasnt aware of new album prospects, i thought it was just a quick cash in or something. get mike patton more money for his pr0n collection
-
Nah, all their best tunes were after Martin left.
I don't know how confident I am that new material will appear, but there's certainly heavy rumours.
-
King for Day is probably one of my fave FNM records. I always wondered if that was the bad one to be into.
would be interesting if they DID do new stuff. I heard of lot of people saying that the first Tomahawk record was maybe what FNM would sound like if they had carried on, but, i dunno. maybe not.

16 bit are cool. Recently I have been listening to Annie Mac Presents and Mary Ann Hobbs' Wild Angels.

You can download the album for free in Music section. The tone is awesome (probably the best I've heard from a strat) as is the playing.
edit - now it's Lostprophets - The Fake Sound of Progress. Their one good album, gotta love a bit of nu-metal once in a while :P

Addicted by the Devin Townsend Project is still high on my playlist, but I'm also now listening to another couple of albums I just picked up:

and
Behemoth - Evangelion (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wotaEqL2mzI)
-
Healing Through Fire is a great album, The Big Black and Theiving From The House of God are also essential.
Knaw Their Tongues - Rend like Beasts...
-
Them Crooked Vultures
good choice and good album...Jones, Homme and Grohl
-
I don't like what I've heard of Them Crooked Vultures yet. Quite boring really..

behemoth - evangelion
a bit too american oriented but still a great death metal album.

Ah, awesome! I'm a huge Zappa/Mothers fan 8)
I've got 89 of the albums (no bootlegs). I saw Dweezil and gang play recently and although musically it was pretty good it was disappointing. I'd do anything to go back in time and see a Brock Murphy/Underwood lineup Zappa gig. Wills and Murphy seem to do alot of tribute stuff but it's all in the states :/
-
Have you seen the The Torture Never Stops DVD? It's the '81 band live on Halloween. Not quite as classic as the Baby Snakes video but very good nontheless.

give a look to these... mine was a blind buy and it turned to be one of my best guitars... it was a bit hard to find a right match in pickup terms (with rebel yells it sounds killer!) but it's near perfect!
-
Don't like the look of that at all tbh, just looks wrong! Probably going to go for an SG Standard in Ebony :)

i've got an SG61 and with cold sweats it sounds awesome (maybe one of my best sounding guitars), but there's something "wrong" with the neck... don't get me wrong, i love its 60 profile (much better than the chunky 50 profiles you get on standards), and the upper fret accessibility is obscenely comfortable, but it's definitely neck heavy, and i need to remember that i'm playing it because my hands "think" instictively to be completely elsewhere on the fretboard... headstock seems to be much farther away than on my les paul, for example!
-
I'm a little worried by how thick the 50s profile is. My Pearl has quite a thick neck, but twinfan said it's quite thin by Gibson standards.. yet my friends LP Studio apparently has a 50s neck (thats what the gibson website says about the new'uns anyway) and that feels about the same as the Pearl. Fits perfectly in the hand (that's what she said :P)!
Know what you mean about the headstock seeming really far away, it does take a bit of getting used to. I think its to do with the body starting around 20 rather than about 16. And that the normal strap button is on the back of the neck which puts the guitar "more left" if that makes sense?

anyway, to get back in topic, just listened (or tried to) to Khanate - capture/release and subsequently Sunn O)) - black one.
i read some review. i usually get suspicious when i read "destructurate" in a music review but i was curious... and i expected something extremely dark and yet sophisticate.
i got just random chords, some noise, some scattered drums, and the singer screaming some line in a childish and feeble black metal like voice (absolutely nothing against the vocal style, he just does it wrong).
what Abruptum did (better, even if i never liked them) 15 years ago.
is it what "drone metal" is all about? sorry if there's some fan here, but i instantly erased the files from my hard disk. and sweared while doing it. :evil:
-
:lol: Sounds terrible!
I have Refused - The Shape of Punk To Come on at the minute, one of my new favourite albums.
-
I'm a little worried by how thick the 50s profile is. My Pearl has quite a thick neck, but twinfan said it's quite thin by Gibson standards.. yet my friends LP Studio apparently has a 50s neck (thats what the gibson website says about the new'uns anyway) and that feels about the same as the Pearl. Fits perfectly in the hand (that's what she said :P)!
Know what you mean about the headstock seeming really far away, it does take a bit of getting used to. I think its to do with the body starting around 20 rather than about 16. And that the normal strap button is on the back of the neck which puts the guitar "more left" if that makes sense?
yes, it makes sense! i love my SG, but it's always strange to play it for the first 30 minutes!
-
New fear factory. Dont worry I pre-ordered it as well.
Some AWESOME tracks. Some rubbish ones. On the whole still the best since obsolete, and at its best, much much better.
-
Has anyone else got Bob Dylan's "Christmas in the heart"?
I don't like everything Bob Dylan does, and I usually find "christmas" music in general a bit of a chore (there's some absolute classics, but the entire genre leaves me a bit bemused)... but I've developed a bit of a soft spot for this album.
My missus ordered it a couple of months back when it came out. I understand her reasoning was "Andrew likes Bob Dylan, so do I, I like Christmas songs..." When it arrived, I wouldn't let her play it on anything other than headphones until December started.
I have to admit though, I've actually been putting it on "for her" when I fancy listening to it! :lol:
-
Superjoint Ritual - A Lethal Dose of American Hatred. Nice and heavy :)
-
A triple bill of Leslie West - Mountain, The Great Fatsby and The Leslie West Band.

The Scorpions - Tokyo Tapes
...again!! :D
I think its one of my all time favourites. These days parts of my solos do sound like bad Uli Roth copies ;)

-
anyway, back on topic,
Insomnium - across the dark.
take amon amarth, teach them to play guitars better and to use more tempo changes, blend them with some typical finnish goth death sound (before the dawn...) and add some classic gothenburg area riff. without the cheesy attitude of "new" bands like in flames and dark tranquillity.
brilliant, i'd say.
-
Led Zeppelin 2
-
Govt Mule- By A Thread.
-
The Abominable Iron Sloth - self titled. So ridiculously heavy! I recommend it to any stoner/doom metal fans, though the vocals may take a bit of getting used to.
-
Phil X's band The Drills - Kick your ass in 17miutes ...surprisingly cool album! Love the punkish attitude it has on it
-
"Countrypolitan Favoites" by Southern Culture on the Skids, an album of covers done SCOTS style.
-
Dio - Holy Diver
(Prompted by Vivian Campbell discussion on another thread)
-
A split that came in the post yesterday. The Atrocity Exhibit/Magpyes/Jesus of Spazzareth.
-
Peter Green - The Anthology
After watching that biography on youtube I'm obsessed. :)
-
I've been listening to - and watching - the new Kansas DVD, There's Know Place Like Home.
There's an odd bit on "Dust In The Wind" with Steve Morse playing electric violin and looking extremely uncomfortable.
-
Owl City - Ocean Eyes. Can't tell if I like it yet, it's too much like The Postal Service, only not as good.
-
I was out running and listened to a bunch of songs I downloaded from iTunes. Amogst them were:
We All Die Young - Steel Heart
Left of the Dial - The Replacements
BYOB - System of a Down
Bad Things - Jace Everett
All great songs to run to for you running fans out there.
-
We All Die Young - Steel Heart
All great songs to run to for you running fans out there.
Great song, kinda prefer the Rock Star version though.
For running, I prefer stuff with energy, Cascada, Andrew WK, and a few German industrial things that start with 'F'

Pet Sounds.
God Only Knows is the best song ever written. Fact.

I dunno, we watched My Fair Lady yesterday, and there's some seriously good songs hiding in there, that we'd have to at least consider for "best song ever written"...
Meanwhile, Jethro Tull fans - (you might of course already know about this, but I didn't until I went to spend my chrimbo vouchers...), the Madison Square Garden live broadcast is finally available on DVD!! (+ CD)
I saw it live in 1978, and was slightly bemused but impressed by these strange chaps (I was singing in a classical choir and was a Bee Gees fan, but that was about it). Several years later I got into them in time to buy the 20th anni box set and go to see them on 25th Anni tour... somewhere in amongst the merchandise for one of these they promised me that they were working on the Madison Sq Garden stuff... and now it's here! woohoo!
Also acquired a ZZ-Top double DVD, one of which is a 1980 Rockpalast show- FAB!!!! Not as good sound/picture as the more recent Live in Texas, but MUCH more my cup of tea :D
And two "Classic Album" DVDs - Night at the Opera, and Rumours. On Rumours, there's a verse and chorus of "Never Going Back Again" that Mr Buckingham does just him and an accoustic at the console - utterly sublime...
-
My Fair Lady has some great tunes. I have meanwhile been listing to Sonny Landreth's "Grant Street" and "From The Reach" over the last few days.

I am not usually a Musical Film / Theatre follower ; but do like the song " On the street where she lives " from My Fair Lady .
I am currently listening to Nat 'King' Cole's rendering of : "The very thought of you " - with the intention of not only arranging it for solo guitar ; but also of course enjoying the lovely melody , Nat's voice, charisma and consummate professionalism . :)

That is the very song I was thinking of :D
And in the film, it's singer, Freddie, is played by the best Sherlock Holmes ever... not sure whether they let him sing his own stuff... I really wish they'd let Audrey sing her stuff. I've heard some of her demos/attempts, and I think she would have been fine :(

Both very good but for different reasons

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think I learned to play that opening lick years ago, without knowing what it was. It was in some tuition book with a cassette.

Alice Cooper - Along Came A Spider
Motorhead - Inferno
a lot of bands get older and just put out characterless retreads of their old stuff, motorhead have had pretty good form recently and young Cooper just seems to be getting better with every album!
-
Carcass - Heartwork.
edit - now it's Circa Survive - Juturna. Love this album.
-
Bit of Derek and The Dominoes - must be getting old ;)

I've been listening to Derek... lately, after I decided i really should learn Layla

-
A couple of random-grabs-off-the-shelf:
The Mob - The Mob (features Reb Beach, Kip Winger and Doug Pinnick... but it's pretty ropey :| )
Vain - No Respect (haven't played this for years.... great stuff! :D )
-
orphaned land - the neverending way of ORwarriOR
this album ROCKS, and orphaned land are definitely the best thing Israel has ever produced including grapefruits and dates (the only good thing if you don't like fruits, i'd add...).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhBBEfF3WJE
the rest of the album is much more progressive (produced by steven wilson, if it tells you something...), but i'm crazy for folk-metal stuff!!
-
Interesting. It reminded me of Ofra Haza from 88.

Thanks to the board I have discovered Peter Green properly now so I've been listening to "A Hard Road" and the first Fleetwood Mac album a lot. Thanks chaps, it's amazing stuff.

I've spent the last couple of weeks revisting one of my favourite bands Prong , and in particular their 1996 album Rude Awakening which lured me away from my space rock roots and into industrial thrash, drop tunings, guitars other than Strats and LP's and ultimately to Bare Knuckle Pickups in search of THE tone for which I wil be eternally grateful.
I'd almost forgotten how strong the album is - not a single duff track IMO - if you like industrial thrash that is :)
-
Steely Dan - 'Aja' . 8)

Ah Steely Dan it took me so long to get into them, but when the penny dropped ........

Thunder - Backstreet Symphony. I only like the title track. May have to learn it as I've not learned anything on guitar for ages.
edit - now it's UFO - Strangers in the Night. Maybe I'll learn Lights Out instead!

Tesla - Tesla Gold
Good best-of with lots of B-sides and rarities, so worth buying even if you have all the albums.

Joe Perry - Have Guitar, Will Travel.
Not as bad as I thought it might be, some complete dogs on there but also some pretty decent stuff. Not bad for a freebie!

(In other people's opinions. Probably.)

Well everyone needs a bit of cheese in their music.
Currently listening to ACDC - Highway to Hell. Still can't get over how good the tone on this album is.
-
ihsahn - after (maybe a bit less technical than angL but awesome nonetheless)
unexpect - in a flesh aquarium (impossible to describe... mix arcturus with late emperor, ihshan's solo works, primus, some psychotic grindcore and the craziest stuff by emilie autumn, strip the music of any intelligible structure and you won't get even close...) (the strange fact is that it is extremely enjoyable!)

Doomriders have been around a while.
I think they have stuff on Reflections Records, a european based hardcore that release EU presses of Deathwish Inc records. I think Doomriders are, or used to be, a Deathwish Inc band.
There was a spate of bands doing this kinda thing quite a while back but not too many stuck it out.
Coliseum used to do something similar

Let's face it, if I tried to record something it would be even worse than that, so I give credit to them for trying.
But at least my guitar soound would be better. It actually sounds like he's playing an un-amplified electric into a microphone.... :?

simply. i've never heard. anything. worse.
i have got glorious memories of my first band, when i was 16 (i started playing "seriously" a bit late). we sucked, of course, but not even close to this THING. at least i sang in tune and pulled out some udible sound from my guitar. awful, but at least above human hearing threshold.
great!

Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime. I'd forgotten just who awesome this album was.

Johhny Kidd and the Pirates - 25 Greatest Hits.

Oh yesss - this stuff is FAB 8) (and from before the Fab Four invented Fab!!)
Their version of Hank Williams "You're Cheatin Heart" - fantastic organ on it...
(The Shads stuff is good too, but hasn't sunk in quite as much as this has).

Currently on 'Spotify' - listening to Barabra Streisand , Chet Baker (Trio ) and Tony Bennett's versions of " My Funny Valentine" whilst I work on arranging it for solo guitar.

Join the club mate :lol: - for as much as it was recommended to me , I wanted the free version or not at all. I just had to go to the site and ask to join the so called "Queue for free invitation" - a few months ago ; and eventually I got the 'welcome aboard' invite. I did not like the way they employ this this cheap marketing trick of creating an illusory ( and probably automatically pre- timed) 'Queue' - but as I did not crack under the strain of waiting ( as if ... :lol: ) all's well that ends well.
The chap that was so insistent I would find great research / leisure value from it, is a Keyboard player who also teaches Music Technology / Studio craft - and so for him £ 10 a month for the Professional version , is small change.
As cynical as I was about it's usefulness ( having not really understood what it was / looked like - till I was allowed access ) it is proving very valuable inspiration for my novice chord melody arranging - and of course proving a great way to discover some great artists and albums; , along with free nostalgia , esoteric JukeBox - and 'Try before you buy' facility. :)

Heavens Basement were great last night, only problem being that the sound guy wasn't on the ball and so the vocals were too quiet :( The band touring with them (Dear Superstar) were utter shitee though and did possibly the worst cover of Lola I've ever heard.
Oh and I have JCM800 gas again, sounded immense. And now I want to be in a decent band.
-
DamagePlan; New Found Power

Heavens Basement were great last night
Hasn't the singer now walked out on them?
Been on a Train Discography kick at the moment. Severely under-rated rock/pop band.
Slash's Snakepit - Ain't life grand

Van Halen - Van Halen.
I'm the One possibly the greatest Rock solos ever!

Hasn't the singer now walked out on them?
Yeah, his temporary replacement was great though, fit in perfectly and sang well, from what I could hear.
-
Alicia Keys - New York.
Listening to it tonight on the way back from band practice - I was just in one of those moods, I think that if I'd had the CD rather than just FM I would have put it on a loop.
Awesome song - so far removed from "my type of music", but just amazing...

Saw Heaven's Baesment last year, supporting Blackstone Cherry in the local fleapit. They were pretty good as I recall, couldn't see much of them though, because of the extremely low stage and me being exactly average height! Blackstone Cherry ruled that night though - so much energy, enthusiasm and audience engagement, not to mention awesome musicianship.
At the moment, I'm mostly listening to Taking Dawn - a cracking new bunch of hard rockers from Vegas - and this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KP1qHPnuDaU&feature=related , in eager anticipation of Black Rock coming out on March 22. Check out that solo!

Leadbelly

Chet Baker. :)

Wes Montgomery - not really the sort of stuff to get me fired up for a 6 mile run! It is lovely though.

Nice choice indeed Ian . :)
You'll certainly run loose and energy efficient after that 'vibe'. Ironically I find smooth Jazz to make weight lifting practice more effective than 'Black Label Society' ; in that I tend to put technique and relaxed concentration before 'blood and guts' if in a chilled frame of mind. It just seems easier to feel the moves better when relaxed.
After all - that wonderfully 'Zen' guitar rig in your avatar, must say something about the quality of your runner's mind. 8)
I hope the run went well ; rub yourself down with a hot wife when you get home . :lol:
-
I ended up giving the run a miss. :lol: I was listening to the Full House album and sat down just before "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face" started. I was too relaxed to bother running after the first few bars 8). It's a great melody.
Now, where's that hot wife. :lol:

:lol: Ah, OK.... if you found Dance Of Death disappointing, you may be tearing your hair out over A Matter of Life and Death. Or maybe not, perhaps it's just me. :P Brave New World is certainly my favourite of the three.
-
I have had a bit of a depressing weekend and therefore listened to music that makes me feel safe: The Beatles Abbey Road & Sgt Pepper and I feel better as a result.
-
I actually thought A Matter Of Life And Death wasn't bad, certainly far from their greatest, but I thought it wasn't bad. However, I did love Brave New World and Dance of Death, and seeing as they have had 4 years since their last album and they just did a tour playing all the old stuff (which was awesome!) they might find the inspiration to make another great album, which from what I'm reading is rumoured to be their last.

i heard it too...
better to put an end to things when you're still great than to become "that band of old guys that my daddy used to love when he was my age"... i don't know if classic IM sound will have too much of a future in the modern rock/metal scene.
don't get me wrong, i'm a massive fan and with my bassist we've got mandatory "iron maiden moments" in the middle of rehearsals... :)

Plus if they stop touring, we'll get a break from all the appalling package deal bands they bring with them to festivals across the world.
Lauren Harris, away you go.

Brilliant mate !
I'm glad the Lady still has so strong a gift ; in her case no doubt getting better as the years pass. Do tell which live album it is ; also do I assume correctly that the 'other' Tim Mills collaboration is the 'Circles' album ?
I must confess to being out of touch with Elkie and her work for some years ; it is nice to hear that one of the B.K.P family actually seeks out that sort of 'class act'. Are you sure you didn't just go because Metallica had sold out ? :lol:

WASP. So cheesy yet so awesome.

A lot of The Who live mastertracks as mogg files in audacity.
Why didn't I discover this sooner???
This is the greatest thing for backing tracks ever.

A friend recommended this album to me and so far I am really liking it. A good blues artist and a great guitar player!

It's "The Pearls Concert" - found it on spotify, I think, and then managed to get it from the US via Play.
At the same time, went looking for her website, found she was playing just up the road, bought the tickets :D.
The first date got postponed, so I was a little worried that mebbe she was winding down... but we needn't have worried :D
-
Thanks for posting that information Andy . :D
It will be great to hear how the two notable 'names' worked together. Especially as there is something from both parties that has brought us pleasant distraction over the years. I will save the pleasure, till I have a relaxed hour or two to ( like yourself ) initially 'Spotify' - and later acquire .
Cheers ! :)

Jethro Tull - Stand Up
My favourite Tull album. Just found out they are playing a gig just up the road from me on Monday night, I haven't seen them live in about 8 years so I think I'm gonna grab some last minute tickets!
-
darkthrone - circle the wagons
some really old-style pre-black metal, raw thrash, a bit of doom and a lot of oi! and punk. with an absurd necro-native-american cover, and a killer and deliciously primitive production. their best album from the times of transylvanian hunger and panzerfaust. true genius...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2x4q4u3N4G0
just a promo, though... it will hit the stores in april.
-
Band Day of Fire, song "Lately". Good straight up rock and roll. Has a great high energy riff in it, blues pentatonic lead is in G and is very straight forward. The chording is actually more challenging than the lead.... Great party band song.
-
Stone Temple Pilots - Core. On a bit of a grunge kick at the minute I think.
-
fenriz' red planet - engangsgrill/split with nattefrost
ok, fenriz has always been one of my idols... in darkthrone, of course, but even more in his solo project isengard. these are 3 tracks of... well... RAW doom rock recorded on a 4-track tape (like isengard) and released on friends pressures years later...
great.

Chic - The Definitive Groove Collection

When I'm in a Zappa mood I can listen to his stuff for days on end. I don't like all of it, some of it's utterly unlistenable but there are moments of utter genius and surreal twisted humour.
-

Totally agree with that. I'll admit to having a dislike of Inca Roads - never really understood the fuss about it.

rar! Thunder - Love Walked In
-
funny enough i had Back Street Symphony on in the car last week! :) some great stuff on there.
right now, i have Slash's album. it's... tamer than i expected :? a few listens will give a better view of it, but first impressions are that the fiery guitar slinger of old has mellowed, perhaps a little too much. so far, Fergie is actually the best singer i've heard!
EDIT; not the best singer i've EVER heard, just on this album :)
-
Black Sabbath - Heaven And Hell (Deluxe Expanded Edition)
The album is as wondrous as ever, but I'm a bit underwhelmed by the second disc - six live tracks (including two versions each of "Children of the Sea" and "Heaven and Hell" ) plus the 7" single edit of "Lady Evil".
-
Completely agree, blue. The fergie song is pretty good with great singing, the rest are so boring and tame!
-
Body Muthaf*ckin' Count!
-
Slash - Slash - gotta say I like it, for so many variedsingers on there, I think it holds together well. I love the Alice Cooper & Nicole whateverhernameis song and also Myles Kennedy's stuff
The Quireboys - Halfpenny Dancer - love it, but then again I have a very big soft spot in my heart for them

I've got the Jeff Buckley Live at Sin-e (Legacy edition) on. Just proves that a simple set up can give great results (unless you are sh!t like I am!).
His cover of Je N'en Connais Pas La Fin is great. I really should get off my backside and learn it - not the singing, just the guitar.
-
Unleashed - As Yiggdrasil Trembles
great swedish death metal. i really love what they're doing lately, the last two albums are their best since Where No Life Dwells... at least IMO. and GREAT guitar solos!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AAaebqrzI4
Fever Ray - Fever Ray
solo work of Karin Dreijer Andersson (the knife, royksopp)... really impressive, even scary at times. one of the most interesting things i've heard this year!

(I have tried to listen to a couple of his tracks in the past.... but my eyelids start feeling heavy.... I dream I'm stuck in an elevator listening to the guitar version of Kenny G.... then suddenly it's morning and I'm being woken by the first rays of sunlight coming through the curtains.... )

Dani Wilde - Heal my Blues (great harmonica playing by her brother)
Hmm, my friend from school, she's waay talented... and her bro, though don't really know him.
Anyway listening to:

Apparently Kenny G is a golfing partner of Alice Cooper.
This morning I have been listening to Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power. I now feel like I want to jump around and break stuff!!

Still listening to Jeff Beck's new album E & C.
Its very different from his other stuff but he has some great harmonys going on in the orchestral tracks. He is such a good player and gets such bell like tones from his guitars.

I've never been sure about Mr Drake's music. It seems to be the sort of thing that you have to invest some time in to get to know the songs before they grow on you. I've just never got round to it
Maybe I'll look in to it more

I've always been slightly fascinated by Nick Drake because he's one of the few "interesting" people with the same birthday as me (strangely enough, Charlie Drake - no relation - also had the same birthday).

Listening to the new Airbourne album and I'm not loving it. I really liked their first record, "Running Wild"; it had great riffs, a lot of energy and some very funny lyrics and this new record seems to be lesser in all those departments. They're always going to be described as derivative, with some justification, but the debut was so much of a "good times" record that it was impossible for me not to love it. It's sad that this new one seems a bit weary to my ears anyway.

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band - British Tour '76
Oh Yes - absolute classic ! :D
Those chaps really knew how to put on a show.
I love this lesser known gem of the spookily charismatic and talented Zal Cleminson with Elkie Brooks:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaTSC8AxNfo
The best time / era ever was back in the 70's though ; Zal's clown make up and harlequin suit, Alex's incredible stage presence and acting . The album 'NEXT' being my all time SAHB favourite. 8)
-
Zal with Elkie?? :) (at work now, can't watch)
Yep, I'm just shaping up to get some SAHB on CD - I've got a best of on vinyl that I kind of miss being able to play... my missus is not yet convinced that she's going to enjoy all this, but she'll be fine :lol:
I turned down the chance to travel up to London to see what I guess was a "reunion" of SAHB in 81 or 82 - apparently it was a stunning gig - and I seem to recall he died not long after that... so I never got the chance to see him... :(
-
Great to see some'SAHB' love on here Andy; :)
I met Alex Harvey briefly , during his " The Mafia Stole MY Guitar" tour, but that was with his 'New Band' - and so sadly I never got to meet Zal , who is still one of those cultural / guitar heroes I would love to meet.
I just wanted to post this footage of SAHB doing 'Framed' to a somewhat puzzled audience in Norway , circa 1974. All the magic ingredients are there, Alex going to great cosmetic lengths to prepare his theatrical appearance - and then smouldering through the peformance : the almost Demonic yet laconic Zal looking and acting the business - and of course the powerhouse that was SAHB as a whole working unit. Absolute madness, absolute genius.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG6aLs8zzrs
What immense fun it must have been to be part of the band during those halcyon years ! :D
-
I saw SAHB many times ( I even saw SAHB on the "without Alex" tour).Always a spectacle-I wasn't initially much of a fan but soon became one and I am bloody glad I did. I think that of all the "name" acts it is a close run thing of whether I saw SAHB or Dr Feelgood the most. Mostly at the Kursaal in Southend.

UFO - Strangers in the Night

You lucky Devil ! :D
Both acts were ( I feel ) cut from the same uncompromisingly raw and unique cloth. I really enjoyed watching the recent BBC4 film on the original Feelgoods; two hours (?) worth of musical and biographical treasure . I especially have a fondness for Wilko Johnson ; both for his 'wind up mouse' act / fantastic Tele-tones when young - and the sheer uniqueness , sensitivity and affability of the older man.
In both SAHB and Dr. Feelgood, I fell there was a real love of the traditions they represented just bursting out of what they did . I also loved how the act(s) were very 'Vaudeville' .
During the Dr. Feelgood film , I remember thinking that if our old mate 'Roo' could have seen Wilko Johnson 'chunking out' on that battered Telecaster , even he would get a sense of the sheer cojones inherant in the instrument.
Brilliant stuff all round. :D 8)
-
UFO - Strangers in the Night
Another great album - that got me 'all giddy' in the 70's. I played the record to death at the time - and even now I'm middle aged, boring and Jazzy , I still keep the CD version for " The correct education of today's Youth " .... :lol:
-
Strangers in the Night influenced my lead playing a lot. I do a lot of Schenker-esque things I think, just not as fast or good!
-
I'm listening to it again today. Schenker has a great style indeed - i love it when he gets all epic.

Yesterday I added Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Let There be Rock and For Those About to Rock.... to my AC/DC collection. Currently listening to Dirty Deeds. Great album, great tone. Left me GASing for an SG (again!)

British Steel landed on my doorstep today too! have given disc 1 a wee spin. nice :)

Sounds like CD1 is the remaster I have...
What, no live stuff from 09/03/1980?? Shame... :lol:

I'm listening to Bon Jovi and Daughtry guesting on tonight's "American Idol". Both playing bloody horrible songs, I think my ears are bleeding. :x

Wishbone Ash - Locked In

If only Danzig really DID guest on this song:

Otherwise, been listening to Mono a hell of a lot recently. "Hymn to the Immortal Wind" is a stunning piece of post-rock. The live CD/DVD, "Holy Ground : Nyc Live Withwordless Music Orchestra" is pretty cool as well. I'd heard a lot of people say they sound better live, this makes a strong case for that.

So far this morning,

Good stuff on Moving Pictures - one of my Rush favourites!
I'm listening to some stuff that probably not many of you on here like. Today I've listened to all of the Hold Steady albums (in sequence of course) and some Dinosaur Jr - mainly Where You Been.
I now want a Jazzmaster and an LP Junior!

Dinosaur Jr is always a treat

Listening to Britny Fox, I'm afraid.... :lol:

City Boy - Anthology
I had a flashback of their 1978(?) hit single "5-7-0-5" and bought this compilation on impulse. It's $%&#ing horrendous.
Now listening to The Company Band to clear my ears out.
-
I did some more CD buying today - I'm now baffled as to why I picked some of it:
Sessions for Robert J - Eric Clapton (the DVD that came with it is very good)
Pacific Ocean Blue - Dennis Wilson. Impulse buy, very cheesy but not in a Richard Marx way.
Exile on Main Street - Rolling Stones, the 'new' version with some 'never heard before ever' tracks. Apart from a few tracks I think it's a bit run of the mill.

Interesting... Do you mean the new version is a bit run of the mill, or the album itself?
I bought it years ago ("it's brilliant, it's the one..." everyone said :lol:) ... and I felt very much it was "run of the mill"... and a bit rambling, and, er, basically, as a complete album, "@rse"...
BUT... over the years it's kinda grown on me. It's possibly my favourite (non-best-of) Stones album. I replaced my vinyl with CD a while back, and recently I've been quite looking forward to this thing...
-
I meant the album itself. Sounds like I felt the same way as you - loads of people saying "best rock 'n' roll album ever" or it getting 10 out of 10 in many reviews. Maybe it'll be a slow grower. I'll keep plugging away! I'm not easily broken though - it took me a while to get into Toys in the Attic and now I love it :?
-
The Stones are very much a "guitar band", and I've read so many interviews and features about them over the years, I've always felt that they're a band you're "supposed" to like, respect, even revere.
But I've slowly come to realise I don't like them, I don't get them and I never will. It doesn't bother me anymore.
(Whilst I'm being sacrilegious, I feel the same way about the Beatles and the Who as well, to some extent, but I like them a lot better than the Stones)

I think Townshend's a truly great songwriter, and I love some of the Who stuff e.g. most of Who's Next. But there are other things I just can't get into at all, e.g. Tommy (although I love the film! :lol: ).

Janis Joplin: Pearl
love this album. thing i hate about re-issues is the extra tracks tacked on at the end. they kind of ruin the listening experience! especially if they're not very good. do extra tracks, by all means, but put them on a second disc please

Totally agree! You're enjoying a much-loved album which was put together, many years ago, with careful consideration for the running order.... the last notes of that atmospheric final track are just fading away....
....then BANG! You're listening to some ropey demo, 7" edit or comedy B-side. :x
Nothing wrong with extra tracks as such, but they're never anything more than interesting curios. When I copy albums to iTunes (which isn't very often) I usually exclude the bonus tracks.
-
Yep, I'm with you on the extra tracks thing. Originally we were being talked into getting the re-issue cos it's got extra tracks... but now... what a pain they are (when on the same disc as the original).
However, I'm still getting talked into getting a re-issue cos it's remastered... YUM!!!
But... I am beginning to suspect that, in many instances, the big knob marked "Volume" on the front of my stereo, when applied to the older CD, actually has the same sort of effect... sigh...
EDIT: Oh yeah, what have I been listening to...
Well it started off with Made In Japan (that has the extras on a second disc! Good boys...)(But they made the artwork black instead of gold... fools).
And it progressed from there to the "Live in Japan" 3 CD thing that has almost all of the three gigs - most interesting, I bought it out of curiosity some time ago, and never got round to studying the subtle nuances...
But I actually ended up in this Purple fest by having a few RJD nights myself - the first three Rainbow albums were on rotation for several nights. The missus had trouble sleeping to them though :lol:
(Why she can sleep to Made In Japan but not Rainbow Rising, I'll never figure out...)

Yeah, I am no expert on the technicalities but it seems most remastered CDs are LOUDER and quite possibly not much else. They may even be pushed to the point where you're getting some digital clipping/distortion (or something... :? )
Having said that, some really old CDs are so quiet that they sound weak and muffled, like the sound is coming from under a pillow, and even the Volume knob won't cure it. Early CD editions of Wishbone Ash's New England and Front Page News spring to mind!
-
I have had "Exile" on CD for many years and I like it but wouldn't rave about it. I think that the "new" tracks were probably left off the original for a good reason though I haven't yet heard them so I may be talking cobblers-it certainly wouldn't be the first time. To me, "Exile" is worth having for 2 reasons 1) Tumbling Dice and 2) Sweet Virginia.

an album (and band) I've loved since I first heard them at the age of 14
the level of musicianship on this record is astonishing - even if today's listeners would find it a little bit unlistenable, self-indulgent and inaccessible at times
I don't care, I love it

Wow !
My very first ( and much loved / played ) 'grown up' Album purchase. The coolest thing anybody could have in their record collection round these parts at the time ; giving rise to much guitar worship - and Purple bedroom colour schemes* .

Great stuff, thanks for the memory Frank ! 8)

I always loved their live recordings more than the studio albums. You can hear them playing together as a unit more than any other band before or since. I think they were probably telepathic.
-

Yeah, there is a feeling that you're hearing a "live" show in the truest sense, it was probably never the same two nights in a row. Certainly Blackmore never played the solos the way they were on the records (which was a bit annoying sometimes!). They had a sort of funky, jam band quality which made them more like, say, the Allman Brothers than most hard rock bands.
You rarely, if ever, see live shows like that nowadays!
It annoys me that they don't have the same iconic status nowadays as Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath. When I was starting to take an interest in rock music in the late '70s, both Zeppelin and Sabbath were basically at low points - it was Purple and their offshoots, Rainbow and Whitesnake, that got me started, really.
-
I agree that the memory / significance of Deep Purple seems to get very short changed, considering that many of the people I know ( including myself ) - wouldn't have sought out / discovered the rest unless we had first heard Deep Purple. The albums remained consistently ( even increasingly ) entertaining through the Gillian / Coverdale era(s) - and it was hearing the live version of Coverdale/ Purple performing 'Mistreated' on the Radio - that ( eventually ) put me onto Blues , more than Led Zep did.
Regarding 'Made In Japan' as originally posted by Frank ; I still think that " Highway Star " is an incredible adrenalin rush (Including some of my favourite bits of develishly dextrous solo ideas from Richie Blackmore ) - and " Child In Time " just dominated and defined the whole idea of the anthemic 'Epic' for me .
As already mentioned, the 'tight but loose' interplay seemed almost telepathic - and I still get a shiver down the spine when I think of the Title track from the album 'Burn' ! :D
-
Everyone cites Blackmore and Jon Lord as the real vituosos of Deep Purple but I've got to say that even at a young age I was astonished by Ian Paice's drumming. Dust off that old copy of Deep Purple In Rock, the breakdown in Flight Of The Rat is the funkiest thing imaginable - and it was recorded in what, 1970?
-

I meant to mention Ian Paice in my post above. I know nothing, to be honest, about drumming - but to me he's always seemed amazing.
Another mention for the Mark III lineup - I love those albums too. The Coverdale/Hughes vocal combination had the potential to be absolutely incredible, but I suspect egos ([cough]Coverdale's[/cough]) got in the way.
-
Ian Paice was indeed phenomenal - and in reading your comments chaps, I realise how much I had taken his genius for granted. Shame on me ! - especially as I would now cite him as being my all time favourite Rock drummer if I had to choose. Inventive, yet not self indulgent - and ( as Philly mentioned ) Funky with it too, without slowing the onslaught.
I shall always remember that the diminutive Mr. Paice, ( at the time ) made it acceptable / bordering on cool , to wear Specs. Thank you Ian ; in retrospect, I take my ( Jon Lord-esque ) leather hat and ( Purple ) 'tie - die' shirt off to you Sir ! 8)

Interesting how the MIJ discussion developed...
I've been studying the "3 gig" Live in Japan set over the past few days. It's easy to see how the "right" recordings were picked for MIJ. Eg all of the Highway Stars have that adrenaline rush, but the 2nd Osaka version (the one chosen) is almost on another plane.
Interestingly, one of the reasons for this is that Mr Blackmore actually plays notes rather than making lots of noise. And this applies to Smoke on the Water and Child in Time as well - the guitar solos on the unused versions are of the "I guess you had to be there" variety :lol:
But the other conclusion I reached listening to these three gigs repeatedly - what a rhythm section in Paice and Glover (and Lord to some extent). They are so consistently organic, but different from one night to the next. Eg the intro to Highway Star is surprisingly slightly different everytime (rhythmically).
In this combo, Ian Paice was the man for me. But he don't sound nearly so good, to me, in Whitesnake, for example, or even Purple post-MkII... the difference for me seems to be the empathy between Paice and Glover, and how Glover glues the organ and drums together, leaving both free to do what they did.
Frank - if you haven't already - give the Live in Japan CDs a go, they won't ever replace MIJ itself, but it gives you a chance to see under the bonnet a bit, and in some ways appreciate the released album even more. It certainly made me realise just what a superb musician Ian Paice is. I already knew he was good, but in amongst all that mayhem he was consistently good. :D

The Wonder Stuff - Eight Legged Grove Machine.

Just started listening (2 mins in so far) to the new Nevermore album, The Obsidian Consiracy.
I shall report back after a few listens, but the first track sounds good so far. :)
-
Thanks for the recommendation Andy - I'll check out the MIJ CDs this weekend. I'm sure Purple had off days but when they all hit a run of good form together they were utterly electrifying.

Big & Rich : " Horse of a different colour".
I'd forgotten how much fun this album was ; especially 'Six foot town' . :)
Also lined up for listening and compiling to Mp3 player - are Van Halen ( Best of : volume 1 ) and Larry Carlton 'Last Nite'.
Good time / summer music . :D

Hat Fitz N Cara Robinson; Beauty N the Beast
great, stomping bluesy stuff! saw them at the Blues festival here on Monday night, and somehow ended up eating with them afterwards! the cd's good, but if you ever see them playing anywhere, they're magnificent live :)
-
back to mij again and aside from ritchies talent the build up of the backing in strange kind of women around the second guitar solo is phenominal.there were no weak players here.Also for me between blackmore,iommi,page,
blackmore is head and shoulders ahead as a player, in a class above.this i've confirmed over the years trying to copy what they all do, and blackmore solos give the biggest difficulties(impossibilities).who you like most is however subjective.
back to the present i often google 'baker st' by gerry rafferty as a perfect song,very good idea/ writing,voice to die for, all the power for goose bumps in the sax bits and hugh burns' cherry on the cake solo at the end.i'd give it
popsong of the decade for the 70's

Another enthusiastic 'reprise' to Deep Purple ; specifically remembering 'Stormbringer' ( the last Deep Purple album that really moved me ). Did anybody else think that the end track 'Soldier Of Fortune' was a spine tingling slice of David Coverdale at his career best ? :)

It's the best vocal he's ever done, IMO. When I was about 15 I used to sit in my room singing along loudly (probably with the rest of the family sniggering outside the door, now that I think about it :? ).
Have you got the 35th Anniversary edition which came out last year? Only Made In Europe and Come Taste The Band to go, then they've remastered all the "original" albums.

You too eh ? :)
I have not got the album(s) now, but on a wave of nostalgia and summer fun, will be investigating your recommendations ; so thanks for the info Philly ! :D
Meanwhile, I downloaded :
Thin Lizzy : 'Jailbreak' ( it deserves it's own line). MMMmmmm - creamy goodness ... 8)
I had not heard it for over 20 + years , and WOW ! it just seems to get better with the passing years. What a lovely way to re-capture some magic times in my life - and dovetail them into the present time. :) Almost enough to tempt me into playing pentatonics on a 'saggy' valve amp again ! :o
I am reminded that Phil Lynott's ballads were stirring stuff - and although I saw them with Gary Moore on the 'Black Rose' tour ( the era of which , you had of course recently posted a photograph Philly ) - my favourite manifestation was the Robbo / Gorham era. The song "Fight or fall" being it's new epicentre for me , 35 years on ... 8)
-
Here's an odd one for you - had this song stuck in my head for days, just found it on youtube and played it over and over. Video is dodgy 1980s style but the song is sheer drama.

I've never really got into Lizzy that much - I know all the singles, of course, and I've got Live And Dangerous, of course, but the studio albums (to the extent I've heard them) always seemed to sound a bit weak/underproduced. I really should give them another go.

I can see what you mean Philly. :)
When I read your comment(s) above - I remembered that Jailbreak does sound charmingly basic on the production front. The 'redeeming factors' for me ( that had made me overlook those facts till I read and felt resonance with your opinion ) - are the ' simple-but-effective ' narratives/ story telling in the songs , the fact that the four chaps still made it emotionally absorbing whilst playing as if it was a Pub gig - and of course the fact that back in the early 70's they had a style we had not heard before - and could play to death and sing along to on the car tape player.
When I went to see them on the Black Rose tour - at a relatively cosy venue; and was hung over the 'front / lower tier' above Phil Lynott on his extended runway ( Mmmmm just smell that sweat and 'Soul - Glo' on his hair ! ) 8) - I remember us coming out and saying how much we had enjoyed singing along all night - and about the characters on stage. There were two slim Marshall stacks, one chap with a drum kit, a slinky Geezer with an earing playing the bass - and of course the now famous 'THIN LIZZY' logo behind them. but when they kicked off the first song, it all just swelled up like 'All Bran' in hot water. The magic being ( be it studio or stage ) that of Alchemy ; pure Gold from (admittedly )simple / base materials.
It was the same mechanism of Sexxayy melodic Rock, Vaudeville show , use of basic equipment - and song writing / apt guitar embelishments - that made it very much like 'The Sensational Alex Harvey Band' ( our 'other' fetish at the time ).
There is of course the ( somewhat influential to my current enjoyment of Lizzy ) fact that historically, psychologically and emotionally - when I first heard and enjoyed Jailbreak , life was hitting me with enough formative experiences and 'firsts' to make it feel like I was simultaniously wired to the mains, mainlining three rows and re-inventing the whole concept of Romance for the modern age ... :lol: I cannot hear that era of Lizzy, without it having an almost hynotic effect - it persuaded / persuades me to invest much of myself in the experience.
So yes Philly, I really can see / hear what you mean about the sound on the albums : and can only assume that the likes of Lizzy / Alex Harvey - worked even better for me than the highly produced albums of the era ( Eagles / Meatloaf / Supertramp / Bachman-Turner Overdrive e.t.c. ) because it was intimate, chummy and you could sing / join in with it , like walking into a room of friends. :)

It's a long time since I listened to it - I only have it on vinyl and my turntable broke many years ago! Let's have a look on Spotify...
45 minutes later:
OK, I listened to it. It's weird, at that time Anthrax seemed SO HEAVY.... listening to it now, hearing the songs and Joey B's singing... it's remarkably melodic, almost comically so! And that's not a criticism. :)

I've been listening to a bunch of Scorpions.

Really enjoying them - I've had Tokyo Tapes for years, but I've never heard the studio albums before.
I quite like this Uli bloke's playing, but what on earth possessed them to let him sing?!!! :lol:
Especially with Klaus baby in the band - he's a fine, fine singer... what must he have thought every time he had to take a back seat to Roth's efforts?

It's almost like two different bands, isn't it? There are Uli songs, which (mostly) he sings, and Klaus/Rudolf songs, which Klaus sings. Quite surprising it lasted as long as it did, really.

Greg Koch - Radio Free Gristle
He's not just a Fender demo guy and Hal Leonard author, he's a top notch writer/musician and this is one of my top five intsrumental albums of all time, containing "musical tidbits such as Hendrixian Herbs, Crumbs of the Kings, Caramelized Allmans (sic), Page Porridge, Beck Specks, Festering Chesterisms and a fiendish dose of Telecaster-Master soufflé."

My mum had a record of him playing this piece back in the 1970s, I must have been 9 years old when I first heard this and even at that age I could tell that this man was something very special indeed. Watch and be inspired.

after nearly buying it many times, i finally decided to give Black Sabbath's Born Again a try. hmmm. Gillan certainly puts in the effort, but the production is so awful it's hard to tell what's going on behind him! really bad guitar sound. i think the songs are good enough, but it's hard to listen to. it kinda sounds like an old demo.

(And I've got used to his voice! :lol:)
some of his electric sun stuff is pretty good as well:

singing not much better though ;)

The jaw-dropping genius of John Williams
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEfFbuT3I6A
My mum had a record of him playing this piece back in the 1970s, I must have been 9 years old when I first heard this and even at that age I could tell that this man was something very special indeed. Watch and be inspired.
edit: no, not that John Williams
My favourite piece of classical guitar music played by my favourite classical guitarist. He's awesome. :)
-
Scream, Ozzy.
Now, I have a love/hate relationship with Mr Osborne. I love Sabbath, the Randy Rhodes stuff, and some of his other work, but quite often he's too cabaret, if you know what I mean.
But I've just been listening to Scream on the way to and back from the Billericay Beer Festival (where we (Fallen Poets) were playing), and I'm loving it!
Quite heavy, compared to some of his more recent stuff, and his vocals are sounding really good, considering he's Ozzy Osborne! Definitely worth a listen.
Mark.

Listening to Rainbow's "Rising" and "Long Live Rock 'n' Roll". I've just bought the remastered CDs as for years I'd been missing out. I feel pretty bad that it took the passing of Dio to spur me into actually buying more than a "best of" album. It's amazing stuff.

Yeah, I finally got round to getting On Stage after he died :(
It's the album that got me into rock in 79/80. This led me into Deep Purple, and then at the same time I got into Led Zeppelin (which took me into blues).
Listened to it quite a bit over the last couple of weeks.

My favourite piece of classical guitar music played by my favourite classical guitarist. He's awesome. :)
it's probably wrong to make comparisons but I couldn't help watching Segovia's rendition of the same piece and I'm afraid John Williams makes him look like a struggling amateur
-
Camel! Andy Latimer is my favourite guitarist, have a listen to the solo at the end of Long Goodbyes.
-
ghost brigade - isolation songs
how to (slightly) copy Katatonia with class and intelligence! awesome album, the best "new" band i've heard in ages.

The Cramps
Big Beat From Badsville and Flamejob.
Fuzzy Gretsch guitars, fuzzy bass and a simple drumkit with a bass, snare and two cymbals.
Gothic, psychobilly, rockabilly, punk with sick, twisted humerous lyrics.
-
Lately, it has been Albert Ayler, Sun Ra, Bud Powell and Cecil Taylor. Some of Liszt's later piano concertos. I am pissed at my parents, their taste in music led me to believe that piano was an instrument suited only for fern-bar jazz and light classical.
Also Vijay Iver, after my fleabitten little wife and I saw his Trio in concert last week.
Plus my usual old-time blues, R&B, soul, funk and country cuts.

"When the c--ks Crow" by Backwards Clock Society (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZEb7tGiNLA)
A side-band of Billy Corgan. It's highly likely the studio version of this will surface as part of the ongoing new Smashing Pumpkins album.

Dream Theater - Images & Words
-
Wally - That was then
Wally - Montpellier (new album) - I always liked Wally back in the Whispering Bob days, and when I saw that they had done a reunion concert I was miffed that I'd missed it. Anyway I also picked up the DVD of the show.
Carolina Liar - Coming to terms
The Script
Paramore - Brand New Eyes
Groundhogs - Split
-
Listening to:
The Smiths - Last night i dreamt that somebody loved me
Funny thing is that somebody does love me! I just really like the song :P
Song and group I recommend:
The Evpatoria Report - Naptalan
-
i had Motorhead: No Sleep Til Hammersmith on in the gym last night. great stuff!
and i have W.A.S.P.'s The Headless Children playing in the car. definitely their best album, even if Forever Free and Mean Man are pretty annoying
-
Europe - last look at Eden
Beatles - Revolver
-
Just found a site that has an MP3 copy of Adrenalin OD's Humungusfungusamongus - one of my favourite Hardcore albums from the 80s - and despite have left Hardcore long behind me, its still f***ing awesome!!!!
-
continuing my trip down memory lane, my journey to work today was soundtracked by Annihilator's Alice In Hell. haven't listened to it in near 20 years! i think i like it better now than i did then, although the production is very dated.
-
Mike and the Mechanics - another cup of coffee - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8Gw6xK4fms&feature=related (ftp://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8Gw6xK4fms&feature=related)
Takes me back to my childhood, was 7 when beggars on a beach of gold was released
-
Jeff Beck - Emotion and Commotion.
Basically, I want a strat, and I'm listening to loads of strat users to make sure I'm doing the right thing!
-
Rising Force - Yngwie Malmsteen
I still don't really the guy or his music no matter how often I give it a go.
-
I recently rediscovered Extreme III sides to every story
That albums got some GREAT moments on it. Some weak ones, but more great ones
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RJ52B2Wuy8
-
Boggy Depot - Jerry Cantrell. Great stuff - some tracks a bit too long though.
I can feel a major Neil Young blow out coming on so will be tied up in that for the next week or so.
-
on my search for some malmsteen stuff i actually like i have listened to:
alcatrazz - no parole from rock'n'roll
you probably all know that record, but its the first time i hear it - really good stuff in fact!
-
Halford - Winter Songs
Actually there are some decent tracks on here.. But generally no one really combined metal with Christmas in a good way. Halford and Metal Mike pull it off at points here, but there are songs of tasteless cliche also.
-
Stray Cats: Rumble In Brixton
Love it!
-
Alcatrazz - Live '83
the best £4.49 I spent on itunes... i give it a full 5 scalloped fingerboards out of 5
great album
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RslsURBHuI
Don't ask
-
Android Lust - The Dividing. Pretty good electronic industrial stuff. Certainly makes a change from what I usually listen to!
-
Hawkwind - It's the business of the future to be dangerous.
Pure Class
-
finally got my dvd-audio gear back up and running, even though there's nothing new to play on it :(
so i put on The Flaming Lips: Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. i'd forgotten just how magnificent this is! :)
damn people and their insistence on buying mp3's instead of hi-res audio!
-
Rocket From The Crypt. Great band!
-
Syd Barrett - Crazy Diamond
Hay Ho, Huff the Talbot (best lyrics ever)
-
Alcatrazz - Live '83
the best £4.49 I spent on itunes... i give it a full 5 scalloped fingerboards out of 5
great album
still listening to it - its really that good

checked out the track 'Hiroshima - Mon Amour' at lunch - yngwies tone seems so much fatter Its awesome.
Might have to track down the CD

Nah, it's a different song. I think Phil may have been taking the Ur(e)ine. :wink:

I did listen to the ultravox song, not bad either
thanks for the heads up though Philly, you sir are a true gent!
-
John Frusciante - Curtains. Great stuff if you like Frusciante (it's pretty much acoustic though)
-
Nostradamus - Judas Priest
I'm really into the first few tracks, and then its a bit lame really. Hopefully they'll release something new and killer soon.
-
The best of Underworld. My car sounded like a gay disco on the way home.
-
Miles Davis - A kind of Blue.
CD just arrived, wang it in the player. Turns out it's fantastic background music for building protein structures!

hooray for a metalhead that likes other stuff
I'm currently digging the Final fantasy piano collections. the arrangements from synth video game music to 2 voice piano are mind boggling :D it's also good music for soldering or tinkering with amps, hell even practicing scales to a metronome!
-
Spiritual Beggars - Another Way To Shine
Good Rats - Cover Of Night
-
I thought Roo was being a bit saucy and was saying that he listened to Miles when he was talking in code and was perhaps indulging himself whilst enjoying a gentleman's publication but thinking about it, he probably wasn't. On second look it appears to be a bit scientific and is not at all unseemly so relax everyone.
-
Band of Skulls - Baby Darling Doll Face Honey. Pretty good, sounds like white stripes with a better drummer!

-

I know it's not a highly regarded album, but "Turbo Lover" and "Out In The Cold" are bloody immense! :D
Meanwhile, I have been listening to:
Leaf Hound - Unleashed
Slash - Slash
Disturbed - Asylum
Spiritual Beggars - Return To Zero
John Norum - Play Yard Blues
-
Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible.
I like it. She is Suffering is one of my favourite Manic's songs.
-
black sabbath - born again
better than i remember it, but still not amazing. might listen to 'reunion' in a bit
edit:
no: its just as bad as I remember. the first few tracks are pretty good which is why i was tricked. then it becomes well shite, a bit like 'ram it down'. i give it a solid 2 demonic babies out of five.
-

They're great, and I've probably seen them more times than any other band..... but for me they got it so right with the first couple of albums, all the later stuff has never quite matched up and I've got frustrated with them. I think the last one I bought was Ogre Tones.
-
I don't have any Kings X stuff. Come to think of it I don't think I've even heard any of their songs.

Same here... mebbe I'll check em out on spotywotsit at the weekend.
btw I often wonder this when you guys post about them - how does one say their name?
Is it "Kings Ex" or "Kings Cross"?
-
King's Ex, I think.
Really lovin' Ogre Tones, fantastic album. And Gretchin Goes To Nebraska is a classic.
-
Yep, King's Ex. :D
I like the first album best. "Power of Love" is one of my favourite songs of all time.
-
discovering the old Dutch band 'Focus'
-
Beth Hart - Screamin' For My Supper
After Philly's description of her being scary I checked out some stuff on You Tube and picked up some of her stuff. This is the first one to arrive, and there are some great songs on it. If you like gritty female blues singers, she is well worth listening to.
-
We Are The Fallen - Tear The World Down
Halestorm - Halestorm
I've been so frustrated by most new rock/metal music I've heard the last few years, I just hate the vocal styles and the lack of melody. I thought well, girls don't sing like that, so I've been stumbling around Amazon and Spotify listening to female-fronted rock bands.
The two albums above have impressed me so much. Yes, they're unoriginal ([cough]Evanescence[/cough]), slickly produced and probably not very hipandcool at all. But they have huge, wonderful soaring melodies and utterly gorgeous vocals. Who'd have thought it? I'm having a whale of a time.

Phil, you know that We Are The Fallen is 3/4 of Evanescence without a diva who thought she was bigger than the band. Any unoriginality is intended, it sounds more like Evanescence than Amy's second album.
Halestorm are cool too.
-

I know now Andy, although I confess I'd never heard of them until last week.
I also know the singer, Carly Smithson, very well because I am an American Idol viewer. :oops: Always thought she'd be better in a rock band.
(I do like the second Evanescence album too!)
-
Ash - Sky Burial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfPyjEnEWkc)
The A-Z series of singles they're doing finishes next week. This is single "Y", and the biggest surprise of the entire series - a 10-minute instruemntal, rather than the punk/pop they've been doing for 15 years. It's a travesty none of these songs got into the top 40, it's been their best material since Free All Angels, and easily the best thing they have done since letting Charlotte Hatherley go.

I've heard the odd mention of We Are The Fallen, and there's a few folks going bananas for Halestorm on the Download Festival Forums. Rather unsurprisingly, they do my head in.
I'll copy and paste a bunch of the other bands the same folk are shouting about though, might be some stuff in there for ye.

Much appreciated, especially since I know it's not your kind of thing. :)
I was listening to another couple of female-fronted metal bands last night, Elis and ReVamp. Pretty good, but I can see a lot of this stuff veering a bit too close to the ol' Power Metal stuff which I'm not so keen on. As soon as I hear those diddle-diddle-diddle-diddle fast drums I start to lose interest.

Lots of mentions for these (I magine you've heard of a couple):

Black Stone Cherry

Buckcherry

The Supervillians
There's also my wee pal Lisa's band Orestea.

I am very familiar with the two "cherries" (I like Black Stone Cherry, but Buckcherry are distinctly second-rate Aerosmith/GNR wannabes (IMO, of course)).
Most of the others I've heard of, but not heard. I shall check them out. Ta. :)
-
Icon - Night Of The Crime
-
Black Country Communion
maybe it's just me, but... disappointing. frankly, it sounds like a demo, which having read an interview about it, it basically is. there are issues with both timing and tuning, and the guitar just sounds like a scratch track. in fact, the guitar tones are not great.
it shows promise, but it just sounds like they should have spent more time on it.
-
Scorpions - Animal Magnetism
-
New Enslaved record, Axioma Ethica Odini
-
Recently bought Suicide Season by Bring Me The Horizon, which is damn good I must say. One of those bands I gave a second chance and was impressed.
-
Broken Bones - $%&# You and All that You Stand For
Crust punk/crossover thrash, alive and well in 2010. Yas!
AND it's got a skeleton with a studded leather jacket and an anarchy t shirt battering stuff with a spiky club on the front! 'Mazin!
-
Pendulum - Immersion. Awesome album, possibly their best so far. The Island Part 2 is so good.
Also listening to Deadmau5 - For Lack of a Better Name. I like a lot :)
I've finally just "got" Magnetic Man as well, loving this at the minute.

Rollins Band.
I was at my parents a few days ago. I took a look through my old wardrobe and found the 12" version of Low Self Opinion in between the wall and the wardrobe. Great track, all I need now is a record player to play it on!

Dragonfire709's band! this is pretty good stuff. i haven't listened to much modern metal, but of what i have heard this is at the better end. it actually has melodies and stuff! :)
also i was sitting in traffic yesterday with the window down and this playing, and i heard some girls shouting. turned round and they were waving at me and car dancing to this cd :twisted: so it must be good

-
Thunder
Backstreet Symphony and Laughing on Judgement Day - Both F**king Brilliant!
-
Santana - Guitar Heaven
This is the new "guitar classics" covers album. It's a bit weird. Some of it works, but mostly it sounds like ol' Carlos just jamming solos over backing tracks of songs he barely knows. :?
-
Lazarus A.D - The Onslaught. Awesome rhythm tone. A $%&#ing great album :band1:
and
Gama Bomb - Tales From The Grave In Space
-
Charlie - Kitchens of Distinction - excellent song on here called Popstar - with a great chorus of 'Is Robbie Williams Gay'!
Grace Potter & the Nocturnals - some great blues/soul stuff
Black Country Communion - Not what you expect from Joe Bonamassa - it's a great rock album
Gov't Mule - Mulennium - live album with some great covers - very Allman Brothers sound (I wonder why!)
-
Rory Gallagher - The Beat Club Sessions
Haven't got the DVD to go with it yet, but this new album of live recordings from German TV in 1971/2 is FABULOUS :D
-
Gorillaz - Plastic Beach. It's a lot different from their other stuff but that's a good thing as I found them really annoying. A lot more rappy which I seem to be into at the minute, so gets a thumbs up from me.
edit - this album has really grown on me. Rhinestone Eyes is so good.
-
Led Zep - Physical Graffiti
-
Hello chaps, long time no see. :)
Currently I'm listening to some classic Crimson Glory:

Dimmu Borgir - Abrahadabra
NOT a "real" black metal album by any means (whatever "real" black metal is...), but catchy (commercial...) and atmospheric as hell, 1000 times better than the previous 4 or 5 DB albums...
and i LOVE Agnete Kjølsrud... too bad she guests on just a couple of songs!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jw7yk8hm_0

Wow. Really digging this "mini" album

-
Phil X's band right?
-
Yes.
Just teasing, I know he's a polarizing character.
Great production, love the songs. Just odd enough to be different and original in a good way.
I downloaded it last night and have listened to it four times already, not gotten old yet.
-
I don't hate the guy at all. I love his enthusiasm!
I'm not into the Powder or Drills riffs at the start of those demo vids though. Just not to my taste.
However, Phil X aside I've been listening to some dubious material.
Today I have also listened to...
Harry And The Potters
Draco And The Malfoy's
The Whomping Willows.
-
Seems I'm getting old - Johnny Cash live in Austin, TX - and loving it. In fact I am playing along to Walk The Line with my Telecaster :o
-
Alkatrazz - No Parole From Rock'n'Roll
-
Solicitors making up cr@p excuses to try and make it look like they've actually done some work (which they haven't)and pissing me right off in the process.....
..... but in the car I'm listening to Bonnie Prince Billy.
-
Magnetic Man. Mostly cr@p apart from the singles. Just put Deadmau5 on and everything is ok again :P
-
Motorhead.
I haven't listened to these guys for ages. They were the band that first interested me in hard rock, metal and punk... all at once. But I've neglected them. $%&#ing great stuff when they are on form.
'no class' - love it :)
-
Skrillex - Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites.
Undecided at the minute. I think it's a bit too random/ADD for my liking and has a lot of "yoy yoy yoy" bass which can get annoying.

The new The Meads of Asphodel album. Cheerfully titled "The Murder of Jesus The Jew". Previous albums were "The Excommunication of Christ", "Damascus Steel" and "Exhuming the rave of Yeshua".
The last track is the preposterously titled: A canticle for the Lost amputees of Aelia Capitolina who have been trampled under the iron shod hooves of salivating hell rams and impaled on the shimmering tusks of salvation within the abandoned tabernacle of a bronze age myth
-
Mad Capsule Markets - Cistm Konfliqt. So, so good. Perfect blend of heavy guitars and dirty sounding synths.
-
In a very relaxed mood this evening and listening to Wes Montgomery - Full House.
-
Jeff Beck - Led Boots
-
Mastodon - Leviathan. It's actually pretty good, I dunno why I never clicked with them before.
Also heard this on the radio yesterday and had it stuck in my head ever since. It's unusual to hear music this "rock" on the radio - Miles Kane - Inhaler (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNCDyPt30ME)
-
Got the piano score for Beethoven's Pathetique (Sonata in C minor) for my birthday last Friday. Been listening to that a lot and also trying to play it. It's going to take me a while, I think!
-
Electric Wizard - Black Masses.
-
Happy birthday Roo- 19th eh? if so same as me.
-
I've been getting into a lot of baroque music latley, Henry Purcell, Corelli and J.S Bach in particular wrote some truly inspirational music, love 'didos lament' by purcell, JS Bachs 'Air on the g string' and Corellis 'christmas concerto, seriously if u think mozart was good corelli is very similar, for the time phemoninal. I can't believe I used to be ignorant and dislike baroque and classical etc, now prefer it to most pop and rock
-
A bit too much of Roots Manuva and WrongTom. Had Big Tings Redone on a few times (Spotify it youngsters :lol:). I know I probably shouldn't like it, but there's just something about that bass line.
-
Test Icicles - For Screening Purposes. Awesome band.
-
Dream Theater - Through her eyes
-
The Pretty Reckless - Light Me Up. Way better than I thought it would be. Taylor Momsen has a great rock voice.
-
Paul Gilbert - Fuzz Universe
amazing album, great playing, great tone - needs vocals ;)
-
Jesus Jones - Info Freako
-
I've just for the first time listened to the entire 'don giovanni' opera by mozart, it took a while but it was worth the effort
-
Every Time I Die - The Big Dirty. Rifftastic :D
-
I actually haven't been listening to music much recently :o , I've been watching a lot of films - only so many hours in the day!
Anyway, tonight it's the same old same GOLD:
Leslie West - Mountain
Mountain - Climbing!
Mountain - Nantucket Sleighride
Those LP Jr tones still give me chills, every time!
-
Mr Big - Back to Budokan [2009] on youtube.
-
Goo Goo Dolls - Dizzy Up The Girl. Very nicely done pop-rock album :)
-
Sonny Landreth making me want to take all my guitars outside and bury them

-
A bit of Welsh prog:
The Reasoning - Awakening and Adverse Camber
I was also investigating another Welsh band called Panic Room, but stumbled on an Italian band by the same name:
Panic Room - Equilibrium
Rather good, in an early-to-mid-period Incubus kind of way.
-
I've been listening to Phil Spectors Christmas Gift for you. His speech over the Silent Night backing always gives me the creeps!
-
Deep Purple - Machine Head
Why do I always end up back at Deep Purple?
-
John Martyn - Solid Air
Call me an old hippy, I don't care. John Martyn was a god of guitar, a true innovator and a songwriting genius.

You are an old hippy.
I always remember seeing John Martyn on things like The Old Grey Whistle Test and thinking he was mighty cool, but I never actually bought or listened to any of his albums.
I'm going to listen to Solid Air on Spotify NOW!
-
I saw him at Newcastle City Hall in about 1992 when he was irreparably drunk and drugged up. He was brilliant, one of the most entertaining gigs I've ever been to. Pity he never got more recognition, I think the music press and his record companies didn't know which pigeonhole to stick him in.

You need a copy of Solid Air, Philly :D
I never got to see him (apart from OGWT etc), but I supported his wife at a Uni gig in the early 80s. She did two sets, and I did a warm-up set before each. Unfortunately she was a little worse for wear, and the audience had died completely by the time I went on for my second set. She was utterly brilliant a few months earlier though, supporting Loudon Wainwright III.
-
You need a copy of Solid Air, Philly :D
Well, I did indeed listen to it on Spotify last night. Obviously it's not an "instant" sort of album, but I liked the sound of it very much, it has a very intimate feel (hmmm, does that sound a bit dodgy? :? ). Sounds like it could've been recorded yesterday.
The British Gas adverts every 3 tracks did break the mood a little though....

I keep meaning to buy Comes Alive, Frank. I have done since 1979 or so, but I've never got round to it. Mebbe this is my ritual "Andrew's Christmas Pressie" (buy an album while getting other people's pressies) this year - thanks for reminding me! :D

For the full 1970s effect you should probably stock up on Vesta beef curry, instant mashed potato, flared trousers and lava lamps and arrange for everyone in the country to go on strike.

We can probably manage the strikes, in the not-too-distant future....
Always preferred the Vesta Chow Mein (with deep-fry crispy noodles!) and Beef Risotto to the curry, but I know where you're coming from. I want Angel Delight too. And Nutty bars.
-
I would fight you for a Vesta chow mein right now. And I would win.

Actually, that's completely untrue... I'm definitely more a fighter, not a lover at all. But you'd probably still win.
-
Meanwhile, I am doing the Christmas shopping and listening to something not at all '70s:
ReVamp - ReVamp
-
TYR- Into the Storm. I love how the drummer works from the verses into the chorus.
-
Blind Guardian - At The Edge Of Time
First time I've ever listened to this band, believe it or not. Can't make up my mind yet - the lyrics are dodgy, it gets a bit too power metalish for me at times, but there are lots of very good bits!
-
Stevie Ray Vaughn - Chitlits con carne. He has all the tones, as Clapton once said.
-

Steve Vai - Blue Powder

Not quite sure how I ended up listening to this, but it's alright:
Axel Rudi Pell - The Crest
-
Eric Clapton - My Father's Eyes
-
A friend linked me to the Bonnevilles.
They have a free EP for download. Great stuff. Two man punk blues band. http://thebonnevilles.bandcamp.com/album/hardtale-lurgan-blues-e-p (http://thebonnevilles.bandcamp.com/album/hardtale-lurgan-blues-e-p)

Both of the Imelda May albums

Got quite a bit of new music over Christmas. Currently working my way through the following:
Black Crowes - Before the Frost
John Frusciante - Curtains
Curtis Mayfield - Curtis
Tom Waits - Closing Time
Alter Bridge - ABIII
Drive By Truckers - Southern Rock Opera
Steve Earle - El Corazon
Not bad so far - mainly been listening to Black Crowes and Frusciante.
-
tidying my shag palace/bedroom/studio/workshop...
an entirely predictable selection of albums:
MSG - One Night at Budokan
Rainbow - Rising
Scorpions - Tokyo Tapes
-
Extreme - Three Sides to Every Story
Arch Enemy - Rise of The Tyrant
John Petrucci :D
I got the Extreme album for my birthday a week ago. Nuno is genius. :)

This week:
Blind Guardian, At The Edge Of Time
Airtime, Liberty Manifesto
Power Quest, Master Of Illusion. Power Quest has become one of my favourite bands in a very short period of time. Melodic metal done just right! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Im5pEXuiCMI

My favorite bands are Opeth, Meshuggah, and Cynic. Yes there is more to them than metal but essentially I am a metal head.
-
In my own little time warp I am listening to Robert Plant's "Band of Joy" which I am liking and I wasn't expecting to. I have also dusted off a few of my Ronnie Lane albums for some strange reason.
-
Jesus Christ Superstar (well, I'm watching the film - the '73 one).
Not watched it in a while and downloaded a few films I've not seen in a while after watching the 100 Greatest Musicals. JCS is my favourite by far, hell, if you ditched everything bar the Judas songs it'd still be the best musical ever.
Rent will be up next.

+1 it's a superb album,
I love 'satan your kingdom must come down'
-
just listened to Lotus Flow3r by Prince. best Prince album i've heard in a while, i like it.
now got on Tigertailz, Bezerk:live... Burnin' Fuel. i admit, i half expected it to be poop, but it's really rather good! Kim Hooker's voice isn't what it was, but Jay Pepper's guitar playing is great! some nice rearrangements of the songs too
-
Grew up with Free play them all the time never tire of listening to Kossoff.
Playing quite a bit of Buckcherry
Rhino Bucket
Georgia Satellites
Jackyl....good time type rock n roll from 90's but still goin( I believe) just picked up on this band
havin a loud brash perod at the moment.
-
Audioslave's self titled. Awesome rock album :D
-
At the moment, it's Ulcerate's new album "the Destroyers of all". despite the rather blunt title, it is imo a real masterpiece.
-
Blind Guardian - At The Edge Of Time
It's growing on me....

Some more new (to me, anyway) rock stuff:
Shaman's Harvest - Shine
Atom Smash - Love Is In The Missile
Texas Hippie Coalition - Pride Of Texas
-
Portal - "Swarth".
Eeewwwwww....
-
Freak Kitchen: Land of the Freaks
-
Alter Bridge - ABIII
Liking it more with every listen.
-
Langhorne Slim - Be Set Free
Great folk. Kinda reminds me a Dylan. Great lyrics and tunes for sitting back and relaxing...
-
Badlands - Dusk
-
Paul Gilbert- Fuzz Universe
-
A bunch of my own bands demos to refresh my memory before recording vocals tomorrow.
I worry sometimes about how I can't remember any of my own songs once I've recorded them :lol:
-
Tres Hombres - ZZ Top, and Inflammable Material - Stiff Little Fingers.
-
Rober Fripp - Exposure
Kings X - Gretchen Goes To Nebraska
I like Fripp, although he does come across as being mightily up his own arse most of the time...
-
MR BIG - "What If" .... Just a great new CD.
I've ordered the new Whitesnake album too... only two months to wait :(
-
The Cooper Temple Clause. Great band. Just got 2 of their albums from play.com for £6, bargain!
-
Ian anderson- 'walk into light' another I'm really gettitng into
-
Aynsley Lister - Rower Sessions
Robin Trower - The Playful Heart
Joanne Shaw Taylor - Diamonds in the Dirt
Buddy Guy - Living Proof
Heart - Red Velvet Car
Crown of Thorns - Crown Jewels
Diesel Park West - Thought for Food
Skid Row (Gary Moore) - Skid Row & 34 Hours
-
Autopsy - all albums
Bloodbath - The Fathomless Mastery
My guitar strings have never been so saggy.
-
Gary Moore - Corridors Of Power and Victims Of The Future
In recent years, I've often had the feeling we're not "supposed" to like GM's heavy rock albums, like they're a bit unsophisticated. But $%&# it, I'd rather listen to this than his blues stuff. RIP man.
-
Skid Row: Skid
the Gary Moore Skid Row. i suppose a few of us will be listening to quite a bit of him over the next while :(
-
The Dead Weather - Horehound
Excellent :D
-
The Dead Weather - Horehound
Excellent :D
I concur. The second album was great too!
-
Opeth - The Roundhouse Tapes.
Great live album. The DVD is also excellent. Its basically Opeth doing their own BBC Electric Proms. I only wish the BBC would have air this kind of stuff. Opeth really are a quality act. Anyone with a vague interest in classic metal would probably enjoy this a lot.
-
Haven't heard that one yet, just got this as it was only £6 on play and I liked the singles :D Getting loads of bargains on CDs now - they seem to be a lot cheaper than before I stopped buying them for a while!
-
I actually prefer the second one. You should pick it up :)
-
Iron Savior - Battering Ram
Iron Savior - Condition Red
Evergrey - In Search Of Truth
-
I'm listening to suspended animation by Jon Petrucci. I'd forgotten how good it is.
-
Motorhead - Leaving Here (Live)
And that's the REAL Motorhead.
Lemmy, Phil and Eddie, not one of the Motorhead tribute acts Lemmy's been running since the 1980s.
Followed by Ace of Spades, Damage Case and No Class. Greatest rock and roll band ever.
-
MayheM - Ordo Ad Chao
IMO one of the most overlooked and original metal albums in the last decade. If you can get get past the intentionally murkier than mud mix, its fecking awesome stuff. Extreme metal does not get better.
-
warzone - don't forget the struggle
Outburst - miles to go
warzone - 3rd LP demo
Token Entry - jaybird
Iron Boots - weight of the world
Supertouch - The Earth Is Flat
Dumptruck
-
Robin Trower - A Tale Untold: The Chrysalis Years (1973-1976)
Basically this is the first five Trower albums (including Live!, my all-time favourite album), remastered, plus a few rarities, on three CDs.
Guitar music doesn't get any better. :D
-
KT Tunstall
because songs > guitar solos
-
because songs > guitar solos
Truth, a cr@ppy song with a solo to increase the the track time is still a cr@ppy song. A well written song with a fitting and skillful solo can also be heaven.
-
Black Breath - Heavy Breathing
Not sure on it yet. There are some great heavy grinding riffs but I don't like the thrashy bits much and the vocals will probably annoy me after a while!
-
Had a non metal morning listening to the sublime Band of Horses.
-
Goo Goo Dolls - Dizzy Up The Girl for me again today. Awesome album, there are only 2 songs I don't get on with, the rest are pop-rock perfection!
-
Black Breath - Heavy Breathing
Not sure on it yet. There are some great heavy grinding riffs but I don't like the thrashy bits much and the vocals will probably annoy me after a while!
I saw this band recently. I thought I'd met one of them before in london with some mutual friends, but I wasn't sure.
pretty heavy. not really my thing... I walked out on them part way through, if im honest. I've heard some mixed opinon from average fella's and even music journos. I wouldn't say they are bad though. Plus they were rockin' full stacks with JCM800 in a smallish venue. That's pretty metal.
-
Accept - and lots of it!
-
Electric Sun - Firewind
Amazing guitar work, and songs far better 'Earthquake'. Uli's singing is completely comedic though. Nevertheless its a lead guitar masterclass.
Really into it.
-
John Martyn - London Conversation.
Cocaine has to be one of my favorite songs ever.
-
Electric Wizard - Black Masses.
Overhyped. Not half as good as Dopethrone.
-
Accept - and lots of it!
I keep meaning to get some of their stuff. If only because their lead singer gave his name to one of my favourite anime characters...
As for me, I've been listening to It's Only a Northern Song and Hey Bulldog...
-
The new Radiohead album - and quite good it is too !!
-
Electric Sun - Beyond the Astral Skies
its pompous and overblown. theres a couple of good tracks, but i can't recommend it. Firewind and Earthquake much better.

The new Radiohead album - and quite good it is too !!
Stoked it finally got released, love how they've gone in a different direction to in rainbows (despite the fact that this is an awesome album too, I just like the variety side of things).
On a separate note, listening to a playlist of butterfly effect - final conversation of kings and karnivool - sound awake.

continuing my one album a week Gary Moore appreciation. this week it "Dirty Fingers"
it's pretty good. apparently he complained that it wasn't properly finished and shouldn't have been released, but maybe that added to the quite raw feeling to the guitar playing. if it had been more polished, it might not have been as good.

I agree. Two of my most favorite albums were recorded in kitchens (one of them in one take).
-
Septic Flesh- Sangreal
Not really my flavor for metal vocals, but the intro is damn perfect and the rest is solid.
-
Tonemonkey: yep, big productions often sound great, but there's something about more primitive, demo-like recordings that have a realness to them. although some things are just badly recorded and sound awful! like the man said, there's a fine line between clever and stupid :)
as to my Gary Moore odyssey, i kinda missed a week, but this week it's After Hours. i love Cold Day In Hell! next one i have lined up is either G-Force or Scars, haven't decided yet

-
Yep. I've got that too. It's very good indeed.
-
All the rammstein stuff rocks. Their live show is just something else!
They like fire and babies with exploding heads, oh and flamethrowers...
-
Currently listening to (and watching) the new TesseracT album. AMAZING! I already had the Concealing Fate E.P, but there are 5 songs on this album I didn't already have so I'm pretty stoked. Plus I got a T-Shirt with it, plus the DVD that was already in the package...it really made my day!
-
Maiden, Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son.
Can I play with madness? Oh yes, I think I can...

Jurassic 5 - I've been feeling the funk this morning.

Goldeneye 64 soundtrack. Absolutely EPIC! No other words for it..

the new Michael Monroe album, with Ginger and Steve Conte on guitar. only got as far as track 3 yet, but it sounds pretty good, a bit like the Wildhearts' punkier moments
-
Thirteenth Floor Elevators and Golden Dawn - 60s Texan psychadelic rock, baby 8)
-
been digging back in to my old Gary Moore collection, for obvious reasons.
What an absolutely fantastic song Military Man is! Haven't listened to it in years, but it's brilliant.

And the new Graveyard album Hisingen Blues. Which most people here will probably like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnGBa8dVm6k

Whitesnake - Lovehunter
I bought the Classic Rock special edition with the new album, and reading all that band history made me nostalgic for the old stuff, even though I haven't really been a Whitesnake fan since the '80s.
I bought this one on the day of release way back in '79, but haven't heard it for years because I only had it on vinyl. Hearing it on CD is weird - it's familiar, but the production is so different from modern rock albums. Still love "Walking in the Shadow of the Blues"! :D
-
Accept - Staying A Life
great live album 8)
-
I'm having a Motorhead moment, Overkill followed by Bomber followed by Ace of Spades. Three classic albums.

I can't stop listening to Every Time I Die. They're bloody brilliant. I can't find anything like it. It's southern metal but with more interesting riffs and time signatures. So much energy. The Big Dirty and New Junk Aesthetic are such great albums.

Really? I've never listened to them much but I'd thought they were an pretty straight up, entirely mediocre metalcore band. Maybe some further listening should be in order.
-
They are.
however...
I just found a jam on youtube by them called Wonderlust, and then I found some Ferret Records stuff, and it's quite different. Not totally different. Maybe they just changed it up a bit. Just reminded me of why I've pretty much continously overlook the Ferret roster.
-
I think their earlier albums are a bit boring and more like the typical metalcore thing, but The Big Dirty and New Junk Aesthetic sound way better than any other metalcore I've heard. TBD has the southern metal swagger. Took me a few listens to get into it. Think these are some of my favourite songs from the album:

Check out their album Songs from a Ghost Town also. A little more mellow, but still good. If you like them also checkout the band The Devil Makes Three and their self titled album.

i've been buying the new Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds deluxe reissues, so my current listening is the cheery and uplifting "Murder Ballads" :)
-
To be fair, ignoring the words, Murder Ballads is probably his most uplifing and cheerful (sounding) record aside from Nocturnarama and Dig! lazarus Dig! :lol:
I've been listening a lot to the new Ramasses record and a demo from a death metal band I was in for a while called (wait for it) Agonised Defomity. The former is better, but the latter is also excellent and came out better than I would of envisaged when I left. Was impressed. Still, wouldn't have held that name if I was there :lol:
-
Black Spiders for me at the minute - they're also nfe's band of the moment too :wink: :lol:

Haven't listened to that for years! But I remember the first two or three tracks being really good, then much of the rest of it being a bit boring.... never used to get through the whole album.
I guess I should give it another try.

It is cool that JT's thread is still going. I've been listening to Mr Jimi a lot today.
-
I'm listening to the new Arch Enemy album, Khaos Legions. In my opinion it is stellar, both the recording and the songs. Lot's of Shenkery leads by Michael, too. "We are a Godless Entity" has my ideal guitar tone right there and the feeling is awesome for a minute and a half instrumental. "Cruelty Without Beauty" has a bunch of really good riffs and some nice surprises that make a metal fan smile while giving some distance from their usual style. There's some nice blast beats and straight forward death riffs in that one.
-
ordered some 'irish tours' today, and as a result decided to stick on some Rory. Amazing musician.

I've been blasting "Witch" by Witch. Superb stoner rock in a sabbath vein. J mascis of dinosaur jr fame on drum duty with a friend on vox/sludge guitar. Try out the track "seer" on iTunes. It's proper good stuff.

I like it a lot, but was really disappointed by their second album.
-
I've not heard the second one. I kind of stumbled across the debut. Any recommendations? I love stuff like that. I've been playing the debut by The Sword loads too. Didn't think much of their follow ups. I love the opener on Age of Winters.
-
I'm no expert on stoner/doom music I'm afraid - I'm just an old geezer who finds most modern metal hard to get into, but I like this stuff because it has some melody and that '70s vibe!
You probably know them already, but check out Scandinavian bands Spiritual Beggars, Grand Magus, The Quill and Witchcraft. There are loads of others I expect, but I happen to know those!

And we're back to Rush again. "Grace Under Pressure" is such an underrated album!
-
Grace under pressure is the beginning of the slide into shitee though. Great band. I love them and kudos for still going strong but I don't think they have made a decent album since Signals. You could put all the good stuff since then on one cd.

Totally disgree! :P
The six albums from Signals to Roll the Bones, including the whole '80s "synth" period, aren't my favourites (Hold Your Fire was the low point for me, I think) but I still like them all. Then (IMO) Counterparts was a massive return to form, and I've loved everything since.

Me too although I thought towards the end the first album gets a little tired sounding.
-
It's probably more in the vein of the second album, although the second song is really heavy and there a couple of songs more reminiscent of the first album. Overall I think this album has a more distinct southern rock touch.
They're a really good liveband too. For me Blackstone Cherry is very special, because my wife loves them, so going to their concerts is a no-brainer. It doesn't happen too often that we both like a band that much.
-
Val Doonican and Dana, make me want to rock my butt off.
Them two classic albums Dana live and Dangerous, and Val at Donnington. are the best of the genre.
The raw intensity of these two live performances make me just want to pick up my guitar and Rock the day away.

Lyrics:
I tried to be part of the scene -
Bought all the records and magazines -
But all the kids they put me down -
laughed and said I was a clown -
Said they didn't want me around -
Made me feel so all alone -
But now I'm back with a bang -
I've got my own leather gang -
And all of them are men -
And denim's back again -
And I am - And I am -
I am a denim demon -
Got my own congregation -
I am a saint for seamen -
And I am - And I am -
I am a denim demon -
You've got my penis steaming -
And your asshole screaming : HELP! -
The day is black, the night is white -
The disco sun it shines so bright -
Protruding buttocks left and right -
I draw my sword prepared for fight -
The stench of piss reveals your fright -
Your asshole is in for a ride -
But now I'm back with a bang -
I've got my own leather gang -
And all of them are men -
And denim's back again -
And I am - And I am -
I am a denim demon -
Got my own congregation -
I am a saint for seamen -
And I am - And I am -
I am a denim demon -
I've got my penis steaming -
And your asshole screaming : HELP! -

Rush's "Grace Under Pressure" for the gazillionth time.

Flogging Molly. Not my usual, but good stuff. They have a dude that plays mandolin. I'd like to see them live for sure.

Don Caballero - World Class Listening Problem. Awesome. Any album that has a song called "palm trees in the fecking bahamas" is gonna be good.
-
As the lad has been spending to much time with the wife's sister, he's fairly insistent that we listen to LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem which is a good example of everything that's wrong with music. He also likes Hello by Martin Solveig which is still shitee, but slightly better. I've listened to it so much that I now walk around singing it.
Although to be fair, I've just had Kid You Not by Cashier No.9 on and he keeps saying 'again, again' now it finished, so there's hope for the little monkey yet.
-
Samothrace's album "Life's Trade".
4 tracks in 45 minutes. Their tone is absolutely crushing.
-
The Arson Project - "Blood and Locusts" EP.
What a little gem of an EP.
-
Some real old stuff:
Leslie West - Mountain
Deep Purple - Shades of Deep Purple
-
Martyrdöd - "In Extremis", the album.
What a truly amazing piece of work. I never thought a crust-punk album of all things would make me choked up and emotional, but this does. It's just so incredibly passionate, honest and perfectly combines mournful melancholy with abject rage. The most convincing cry of defiance against the howling injustice of things I've ever heard.

Just got the recently released Roy Buchanan Love at Rockpalast album. I know much of it because I've repeatedly watched the selections from that set which are up on YouTube but I thought the sound quality on the CD would be better. It is but not by much. I don't know what was used to record the session but it's not the finest recording ever committed to tape, the cymbals sound particularly off. To be honest though it mostly doesn't matter because you just end up focussing on the majesty of Roy's playing. He really could do everything. The albums certainly worth a listen but it's not very high fidelity.

Devils Blood are excellent. Jex Thoth are a similar one for anyone who enjoys the above. It's cool that there's all these bands out now harking back to the likes of Covan. Ghost are another. Well, sorta. Mixed up with Blue Oyster Cult and Mercyful Fate.

The Scars - Horrorshow. Absolute classic
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkiNIJcL6ic
-
Friendly Fires' self-titled debut album.
Seriously.. Such a brilliant pop record. Can't wait to see them live soon.
-
Spiritualized - Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space. Pretty awesome.
-
Mütiilation - "My Way".
Yes, it is the Frank Sinatra song... Covered by a French Black Metal band. I don't quite know what to make of this.
-
Aliases - Safer Than Reality
I love the tone on this album, it's almost perfect.
-
NIN - The Fragile. Brilliant :D
-
Circle Of Soul - One Man's Poison
Criminally neglected band!
-
Sierra Hull at the minute, she's an insanely talented mandolin player (and easy on the eye too).

what I love about Jeff Beck is how progressive he's always been - wanting to take the guitar further, unlike many of his 60s peers who are seemingly happy to sit in their comfort zone.
-
Here's a great version of Key To The Highway with Jeff Beck and BB King - man!!!!

The recent Mr Big record. It's marvelous fun.
Saw them last night, it was excellent. They were obviously having tons of fun, played Smoke on the Water with them swapping instruments twice during the tune, Billy Sheehan and Pat Torpey taking lead vocals for the first and second halves, both of whom could happily front a stadium rock band. Excellent show.

The new album is killer, and they're an amazing live band!
-
the new Martin Simpson CD is more of his wonderful interpretations playing with some well talented musicians - the new Yes CD is excellent too, strong melodies and some fabulous performances, great new singer too
-
I'm in Chicago at present and have been listening to a lot of Muddy Waters and Buddy Guy.
-
Dragged Into Sunlight - "Hatred For Mankind"
I had nearly forgotten how absolutely vicious and disgusting that album sounded. Good thing I went back to it!
-
Lucero - Nobody's Darlings
Southern rock apparently, and very good. Some of their albums can be a bit mopey but I love this one.
-
Not really listening, more watching Rie Sinclair. I was in a band with her in the late 1990s when she was living in Manchester.

-
The $%&#ing Champs - III. So good :D
-
Bruno Mars, Queen, Kill the client, Terrorizer.
-
Saxon - Strong Arm of the Law and Wheels of Steel
-
i started with Saxon's Demin and Leather
but now i'm working through Alestorm's latest "Back Through Time".. its good fun I think
-
Deathspell Omega - "Mass Grave Aestethics".
Holy shite, I just cannot get sick of this band. I just love love LOVE everything they've put out since 2004.
-
Frank Zappa: Hot Rats
and i have the new Mr Big album playing in the car.
thoroughly enjoying both of them :)
-
New Mastodon album- it's fun.
-
Protest the Hero - Scurrilous
It's...competent, I would even say GOOD, but it just doesn't stand out as much as Kezia or Fortress...yet.
-
Chickenfoot III
VERY good development - very good album!
-
I've been thinking about getting Chickenfoot III - love the first album, sounds like this one is at least on a par.
-
It is much better than the first.
-
Been listening to Chickenfoot III on Spotify today. Great stuff, I'm liking it more than the first already.
I've also bought the new RHCP album today. I fear that it is going to be absolute sh!te. Will report back in a few days time.
-
I had a listen to that Chickenfoot album (it's streaming online somewhere) and I don't really get it.. to me it's boring rock with awesome solos that sort of don't fit in with how cheesy and bad the lyrics are.
I'm listening to the new Russian Circles track and it's awesome, can't wait for their new album - http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/exclusive-download-russian-circles-premiere-dramatic-track-mladek-20110928
-
I need to get the new Chickenfoot album.
Been listening to a lot of doom. Pentagram, Place Of Skulls, Solitude Aeturnus...
-
been listening to Mastodon: The Hunter. early impressions are that it's good, although maybe not quite as good as the last couple. i really like the sound of Mastodon, their records sound great, and i find i can actually listen to them since they started singing! the early albums still sound great, but the vocal style was very wearing. fine for a song or two, but over a whole album, it just irritated me. the only problem i have with them is that a lot of their material does sound very similar, it can be hard to tell what song, or even album, you're listening to. i do still listen though, because it's a sound i like a lot :)
a friend asked me what they were like a couple of years ago, i said it was like a heavy rock band in the seventies got a letter describing what modern metal sounded like, and tried to recreate that without ever actually hearing any modern metal. i like that description, even if you don't ;)
also, this morning, put on the Chickenfoot III album. when did Keef Richards join the band?

^ I do like that description, very good. :D
Just like you, I buy all Mastodon's albums because I like the sound. But I do have great difficulty distinguishing one song from another, apart from a brilliant little melodic bit here and there (which won't usually be a vocal part).
Always nice artwork and packaging on their CDs too. :lol:
Just got my copy of The Hunter, but probably won't listen to it straight away. I got the new Opeth album today too.
-
Bought the new RHCP album a few days ago. Gave it a listen on the way back from work today and it is pretty decent. It sounds like them but is missing the spark of Frusciante. Strangely I could almost hear the parts I think he would have played had he been on the album. Josh Klinghoffer isn't at all bad but he's no Frusciante.
Maybe with a few more listens I'll like it more.
-
I haven't really felt much inclination to buy the new Chilis album. The last couple have been getting rather formularised, and now without Frusciante as well.... I think the guy was the heart and soul of the band.
I think I'll just keep listening to Blood Sugar Sex Magik.
-
Indeed he was Philly. There are some great moments on Stadium Arcadium (and By The Way). Personally I don't see why Californication is critically seen as their greatest album, clearly it is BSSM or Uplift Mofo Party Plan - I did like some of the Hillel Slovak stuff as well!
I also love the Frusciante solo stuff but some of it is a little niche.
-
For me, the Peppers died with Hillel...
-
Tokyo Tapes - best album ever..

-
been listening to Mastodon: The Hunter. early impressions are that it's good, although maybe not quite as good as the last couple.
I don't know it was just me acclimatising to the sound, but it seemed like the quality of the material really improved halfway through the album - the last few tracks are great. That's only on first listen though....
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnSJu9Xk-7k
Possibly my favorite song in the world. Best played fairly loud on some headphones.
-
I've been listening to the new Dream Theater a lot. Some brilliant songs, but also some songs that sound like they tried to hard to show how incredibly tight and complex they can play as a band.

I'm not a fan, but reading an interview with Petrucci the other day he seems really stoked by Mike Mangini being in the band - and by the additional freedom it gives him as a writer and producer. He doesn't say it in so many words, but reading between the lines I don't think he's missing Portnoy very much....
-
My wife just bought the latest Adele album, which is in the car at the moment, so I've been listening to that bv default this weekend.
It's actually really good. Got a Cure cover on it, which is ace.
-
I once read Adele's music being described something along the lines of "music for fat birds on a night in with a bottle of wine and a tub of haagen dazs" :lol:
-
Rory Gallagher - Top Priority
-
Just been listening to some Philip Sayce. Perfect.
Also been listening to 'RHCP - Live at Slane Castle' whilst working from home (using a very small window to run the vid in on my desktop). Great stuff, now gassing for a Frusciante style Strat.
My favourite moment is on All Around the World when Flea gets infected by the groove at about 1:19 in on the vid below.

Off to see them in November, hoping that Klinghoffer fits in well.

no RATM love? - I'm surprised, really. Their 1st album is especially great, imo.
I've been having an 80s rock day, had my parents round helping to decorate so there was no grindcore today.
-
Nah I find them pretty tedious. And the contrived, hypocritical politics grate (and I find it really hard to disassociate bands and their politics).
I wouldn't mind half as much if it weren't just a subwoofer through my floor, though. The whole tunes are better than RATM boy/Flea detached from the rest of the band :lol:

An irregular exception to the rule. I was jovial the day I went to ask them to turn it down at half one in the morning on a Monday to encounter the massive Polish chap that lives opposite them at their door demanding "MUSIC! DOWN!" :lol:

got the Metallica/Lou Reed Lulu cd yesterday. i've listened to the first disc. hmmm. on the second pass it sounds better, maybe because i'm adjusting to it. if you come to it thinking it'll be a Metallica record with a different singer, you'll be disappointed. in fact, if you think there'll be a singer you might be disappointed! :) mr Reed largely doesn't bother with tiresome things like being in time or tune with the music. it's definately interesting, and some parts have jumped out at me, but will certainly require some listening to get my head around.
in interviews, the band have said there were times when they were jamming, trying out ideas, and next thing Reed would say, "that's it, that's a take". that does come across, a lot of the time the band do sound like they're just jamming on a riff or rhythm to see where it goes. and poor ol' Kirk barely gets a look in :)
-
got the Metallica/Lou Reed Lulu cd yesterday.
I'd vaguely heard about that, but didn't realise it was actually out - I don't read music magazines any more, apart from guitar ones, so I'm hopelessly out of date.
Don't suppose I'll ever get round to it. I've still only played Death Magnetic once since I bought it.... :|

Well, I've just watched the Lou Reed/Metallica thing on Jools Holland. What a total load of horse sh!t. I've rarely heard anything as shockingly bad as that. I really don't understand how Jools Holland got himself through it and even gave a little praise to it. If it were my show I'd have pulled the mains out and blamed it on a power-cut.
-
It never fails to amaze me how people keep giving Metallica credit, no matter what rubbish they release.
I mean, you can argue the two Load albums, but once they did St Anger everyone should have known they were taking the p!$$, no?
-
The black album is the newest one that I own. That probably says it all really.
-
Threat signal self titled. Pretty good, some of the best metal in recent years
The Lulu thing was/is a $%&#ing musical abortion.

I've got everything except.... well, this Lulu thing, actually.
I personally like Load and Reload very much (although they could do with a bit of trimming), but St Anger was just horrific, no matter how they try to justify it. And as a result, I don't trust them anymore, I suppose.
I saw Lars Ulrich and Lou Reed being interviewed by Jeremy Vine on the Andrew Marr show this morning. Mr Reed seems like a...... difficult chap! Very antagonistic, no matter how innocuous the question. He seems to genuinely get on with Lars though.

I think of load, reload and the black album for that matter the same way as Alien 3.
Alien 3 is a good film. If it had the meagre backstoty stuff cut out, and was presented as 'Alien' and alien and aliens didnt exist then it would be well enough received and respected. But it had to follow alien and aliens, and you cant cos they're utterly awesome. BA, Load and reload are like that.
St anger is just garbage and death magnetic is only liked at all because its not as terrible as st anger. Like alien resurection.
-
Pretty good analogy!
I still wish Alien 3 had been directed by Vincent Ward and had his "Wooden Monastery" concept. Not sure where that would fit with the Metallica albums. :? :lol:

I don't know the last megadeth album was worse that risk!
I actually listened Lulu from start to finish... it was a painful experience with the 16 minute long songs.
But it kinda makes sense if you hear it all just one song doesnt really give off a good impression.
It is however terrible musically, sick & twisted lyrically and just downright disgusting and sexist

What, the current one, Thirteen or whatever it's called?
Haven't heard it yet, didn't like the one before that and I haven't much enjoyed the last few - they're not bad but it doesn't feel like a proper band anymore (not since Risk, in fact!)

yeah Thirteen.
The last one at least had some good riffs on.
The sorry part about thirteen is that the best two songs on the album are old demos that have been completed from when Marty was in the band only now they have brodericks mindless shreddy solos on to ruin them.
I quite enjoyed the system has failed even thought that was originally written as a solo project.
UA was a bit dull but had a few memorable songs on it

Love this "Lou Reed & Metallica Lulu in 5 minutes"
"I am the table" will be on Hetfields tombstone.
http://youtu.be/ZRP_dwEUQwI
-
That is genius, a few laugh out loud moments for me - "I am the table" being one of them and "Spermless like a girl" another.
This made me laugh as well:
Reviewer Julian Marszalek of The Quietus gave the album a very poor review. He commented that "the effect is that of Lou Reed ranting over some Metallica demos that were never intended for human consumption." Marszalek summarized the review by suggesting that time spent listening to Lulu could have been better spent watching grass grow, "or perhaps w@nking into a sock."
:D

I quite like Th1rt3en. My only complaint is that it could use a couple more faster tracks.
-
I actually like the basic idea of "Lulu". They just got the wrong folks to make it, unfortunately.
The basic concept could easily become something very, very cool in the right hands. In my little dream world, that album would have been made by someone like Tom Waits cooperating with Neurosis, Khanate or Sunn O))).
But, that's a pipe dream if there ever was one :/
-
Well, at least Tom Waits is still producing great music. I may be biased here in that I love Tom Waits and think that Lou Reed is an absolute tool who has been dining out for years on the few decent Velvet Underground tracks that there were.
-
I'm inclined to agree. When it comes to portraying the dark underbelly of life and life in the city, I honestly don't think anyone comes close to ol' Tom.

I like. Feels more mature than the first one.

Yep. Better songs, more coherent overall.

I had a pair of coherent overalls once.
-
Saint Jude (the free CD with Classic Rock). It's a great old style rock album.
-
Didn't even know there was a Chickenfoot II!
I've been recording some new stuff this weekend so that's been getting listened to. When I've not been busy with that I've mostly been listening to a big occult rock playlist. Blood Ceremony and Ghost and Coven and Black Widow and Jacula and The Devil's Blood and Jex Thoth and so on. Tons of silly fun.
-
Trying to work my way through the Dream Theater corpus, I don't know how far I'm going to make it before I move on.
-
Motörhead - Another Perfect Day
-
Didn't even know there was a Chickenfoot II!
There wasn't - they decided to skip the "difficult second album" and go straight to III. Hilariously. :|
-
Dear me. You can imagine the cringeworthy meeting that led to that.
-
Yes indeed. I can't imagine it originating from anyone other than Mr Hagar. After a few Waboritas.
-
unfortunately, i've found Chickenfoot to be rather less than the sum of it's parts.
-
While I had expected more from Chickenfoot as well, I have to say the new album is a step up from the debut.
Listening to :
Steel Panther - Balls Out
Whitesnake - Live In The Heart Of The City
-
Motörhead - Another Perfect Day
that, my friend, is a fine album!
I'm listening to Alcatrazz 'No Parole from RocknRoll'
-
Motörhead - Another Perfect Day
that, my friend, is a fine album!
I've always meant to check that one out. I must confess I'm not really a Motörhead fan (!!!!! :o !!!!!), byt the presence of Robbo makes it interesting.

Its a great blend to be honest. Lemmy's raw vocals and bass with some very very melodic guitar work from Robbo. Lemmy seems to have turned down the distortion on the bass somewhat which helps too. Its good stuff basically.
-
Whitesnake - Live In The Heart Of The City
Fine album indeed. Last week I listened to the more recent Live In the Shadow of the Blues and I rather felt that the Blues was in the shadow.
Cheers Stephan
-
The Who - Then And Now.
Good, but they wrote some weird shyte!
-
After my failure to appreciate Dream Theater, I've returned to an old standard - SikTh, Death of a Dead Day.
Still waiting on the Safety Fire EP to drop too...in the meantime, I'll be listening to the LP.
-
SikTh, Death of a Dead Day.
Bloody good album, that one. One of the best examples I can think of, of technical metal done right. The sheer emotion of the vocal performances just give that album so much.

Your opinions are empirically wrong. :)
In any case, now it's Reuben - Racecar is Racecar Backwards
I think I'm predetermined to give anything in drop Db a listen at least once.
edit: moved on again, now listening to Behemoth with some brief Yoko Kanno interludes a la http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIVgSuuUTwQ

Vanderbuyst - In Dutch
The Aristocrats

Disclose - Nightmare or Reality.
More Discharge than Discharge.

The Flaming Lips- Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
Funkadelic- Maggot Brain
The Melvins- A Senile Animal
and
Mstislav Rostropovich performing Bach's Cello Suites
-
Dimmu Borgir - Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia
Woaaaah, I wish I got into Dimmu Borgir sooner.
-
Working from home today and currently have Southern Rock Opera - Drive By Truckers on. It's pretty good. Nice basic, honest pub rock.
-
I currently seem to be listening to a lot of Cardiacs.
-
Lightnin Hopkins and the Thirteenth Floor Elevators - Free Form Patterns as well as Hopkin's Goldstar and Herald sessions. Awesome - the source of more blues cliches than you've had hot dinners....
-
Deathspell Omega - Paracletus
DO is like the opposite of Behemoth for me, I like the earlier Behemoth stuff better, but DO just constantly get better and better over time.

watching/listening to these early B52's clips - awesome:

Thin Lizzy - Live At The BBC boxset
-
I've been listening to Slash's live album, Made in Stoke. it's strangely unexciting. it's actually all a bit too well done, too slick. Slash's guitar tone is very smooth, almost artificial sounding, and there's a very odd lack of passion. it doesn't help that i really don't like Myles Kennedy's voice. yes, he can hit all the high notes, but not with any personality or passion. he's a bit like having a vocal keyboard! all makes me a little worried about the upcoming studio album.
-
Lots of Tom Waits. Again. Going through one of those phases currently.
-
A Lot of Al Green recently, Howlin Wolf, and Six Organs of Admittance has been getting a lot of play recently.
-
Lamb of God - Resolution.....
-
Lots of Tom Waits. Again. Going through one of those phases currently.
Still stuck on Tom Waits.

'Alice' to gets me. classic
-
Great song, one of his finest. He has many that fit the "one of his finest" desctiption IMO.
I think the phase I am going thorugh is becasue I am currently reading "Lowside of the Road". Very good book although he had no involvement in it due to his beliefs in privacy.
I'm trying to keep my listening in line with the chapters and am now on Franks Wild Years - last few chapters were about Swordfishtrombones and Rain Dogs. Classic stuff indeed.
-
Tom Waits is a genius, no dice.
Right now I'm listening to Patton Oswalt's "222" album. $%&#in' hilarious!
-
I'm on a bit of a Clutch binge at the minute. Saw them live on monday as they were supporting "Thin Lizzy" (not really thin lizzy as I think scott gorham was the only original member) and thats got me right back into them! Currently on the first self titled album. Still not sure why I never used to like Clutch!
-
Albert Collins
Johnny Copeland
Robert Cray
Jimi Hendrix.....
..."I wish they'd had electric guitars in cotton fields back in the good old days. A whole lot of things would've been straightened out." Jimi

Discovered joe bonamassa a few months ago. I now own most of the albums. The ballad of john henry and you and me are really good and I cant stop listening to them atm.
Joes got the combined style of my fav guitarists and does it with such emotion. best guitarist i have heard in ages.

Good call on Vintage Trouble
The cover version of Sweet Dreams at the end of the film the Departed.
Roy Buchanan.
How the hell did I not pick up on him for 35 years :(
-
Mastodon, went to see them last night and it was heavy as $%&# :) Still not a fan of their longer meandering songs but ones like Curl of the Burl and Blood and Thunder crushed live. I'd heard bad things about the vocals but they were on form last night. It was all very tight and I was impressed with the sound at Birmingham HMV institute.

Been loving Behemoth Demigod of late.

Holy shite I love that guy!

To all saying Vintage Trouble...you have good taste :D

Joe Robinson - Lethal Injection

Slough Feg - "Tiger! Tiger!"
Seriously, "Hardworlder" is just such a perfect album, seriously.

Slough Feg - "Tiger! Tiger!"
Winner.

Grand Magus. Swedish stoner/doom/metalists that do songs mainly about Norse mythology, vikings and wolves. Can't go wrong really...

My infant son seems to really like classic rock, so lots of KISS (seriously, it's awesome watching him rock out to Detroit Rock City), Alice Cooper, Ozzy, Hendrix. Fun fact, Hotel California sends him to sleep without fail :lol:

I've been listening to the Metal Hammer show on Planet Rock. Bolt Thrower, At The Gates, Soulfly, Ghost, Prong, Autopsy, Lamb Of God.... makes me realise it's a long time since I've listened to any heavier stuff.*

Bolt Thrower, Autopsy,
You dont really need to listen to other bands than these two...

Kenny Wayne Shepherd - How I Go
Danni Wilde - Shine
Carolyn Wonderland - Peace Meal
Joe Bonamassa - Live From Nowhere In Particular
Black Country Communion - Live Over Europe
Cathy Jean - In the Remains
Eric Gales - Transformation
I also had Be Bop Deluxe Futurist Manifesto out too. Some great old songs on that.
-
First listen to the new Napalm Death record. Still cranking out smashers in the vein of the last few. There's a bananas John Zorn guest solo on track three :lol:
-
Halford - Live Insurrection
Bloody hell, he had a great solo band there!!!! :o
-
A mixture of Alter Bridge and Them Crooked Vultures.
All good stuff IMO
-
Bob Dylan - "If you see her, say hello".
-
Iced earth and frans Schubert

Europe - "Not Supposed To Sing The Blues"
I keep hearing this track on the radio. Not normally a fan (sorry Jonathan!) but I really like this - I hadn't realised before what a strong singer Joey Tempest can be.

Love the former, not so keen on the latter.... I think they got boring quite quickly.
It's a shame John Garcia's band Unida didn't last.

I think QOTSA did start going down hill after No One Knows. Rated R is my favourite of theirs, not so sure about which Kyuss stuff I like best at the moment. I don't actually 'own' any of their stuff and have been listening on spotify.

Wishbone Ash - Elegant Stealth
Their first new studio album for a few years.

And also a shame that Kyuss have totally self-destructed now that Garcia tried to steal the name from Homme. Kyuss Lives! was good fun. But that's it dead forever now, I think.

Not the only one Philly :lol: - One was a founder member of Jethro Tull, the other stood there for their appearance in the Rolling Stones's Rock and Roll Circus film thing, miming to the other's guitaring. Not sure he did very much more with them before they found Mr Barre. I think I've got Getting To This on vinyl - because of the Jethro Tull connection - but I only listened to it once.
-

Yeah, I saw that film on TV a few Christmases ago.
I knew Iommi had done a little stint in Jethro Tull of course, but it was totally unexpected to see them - with him - in that context! Quite surreal.

Yeah, I'm fairly certain he didn't record with them - I've got a variety of box-sets and albums with rare gems and wotnot on them. I think that any existing Jethro Tull recordings/demos with Tony Iommi on would have surfaced on those.
But I was as surprised as you HTH when I found out. I think it was either in the 20th Anniversary box-set booklet, or the 25th Anniversary Tour Program. All sorts of interesting things in those, eg Martin Barre says you can hear Jimmy Page coming into the studio during his Aqualung solo. And they're not entirely happy (but are philosophical) about the biggest hit The Eagles had. The Eagles supported them for a tour and spent many nights watching them at the side of the stage while they were playing "We used to know". A little while later, these fine young lads came out with a massive hit called Hotel California. (Actually it's quite a common chord progression - I already knew they were similar to Eric Clapton's "Let it Grow". And, if you desconstruct "Layla" it has elements of this way of doing things. The sixties hit "Those were the Days" has the same vibe. I'm sure there must be some classical or otherwise piece that they were all affected by and these are the echoes of it...).

When we were kids I was into the hard rock stuff and my brother was into Jethro Tull and Genesis. I now have a few Tull CDs, but no Genesis. I remember really liking Nursery Cryme and Foxtrot, in particular.

I just bought one of those "Original Album Classics" boxes - five CDs in mini LP style sleeves for £11.99. Great value! (although it's a shame they didn't include Departure, and not all of the albums are the remastered/expanded editions... but never mind)
Great songs, wonderful vocals.... and fantastic melodic solos from Mr Schon. :)

I just think they're utter, utter rubbish.

The respective works of Journey and Molly Hatchet from 1978 to 1983.

Pulled Apart By Horses - Tough Love. Wolf Hand is definitely the best track but it's all pretty good. Loads of energy!

The Trucks live album.
Traffic.
Early Clapton.
Freddie King.
Robert Johnson.

Molly Hatchet - Take No Prisoners
Still revisiting my youth. I'd forgotten what a great album this is - pretty simple, straightforward stuff, but catchy tunes, in-your-face guitars and terrific vocals from Jimmy Farrar. It's putting a rare smile on my face. :)

I just discovered some crazy feckers called Foxy Shazam.
Someone on a songwriter forum sent me a link with "if I know you like I think I do, you gotta check these guys out..."
At first it was WTF... but wow! :lol:
Their latest one isn't on spotify yet, but I'm listening to the previous one.
Like the Darkness but somewhat more to my taste. Don't find the guitaring quite as yummy as the Hawkins guys, but the songwriting/arranging and the general off-the-wall-ness are fantastic for my money.
Apparently they supported the Darkness recently, so some of you guys might have seen them. I understand they weren't appreciated by the Darkness crowd in this country, though... I can see why. Brian May's a big fan of the Darkness, but Freddie Mercury would've loved this lot...
Think I might even have to buy some music for the first time in months...

They did indeed support The Darkness. Totally bonkers and you're right, they didn't get given a fair ride by some of The Darkness fans. A real shame as I find heckling and throwing bottles/objects at bands the absolute height of rudeness and completely unnecessary.
I haven't listened to them since though so will have to give them a further look (or listen!)

Blast from the past! :)
-
Warrior Soul - Salutations from the Ghetto Nation
Haven't listened to this for many years, but one of the songs just popped into my head so I dug the CD out. Still sounds bloody great!
-
the new Spit Like This album, Normalityville Horror. it's good, but i think it'll take a while to grow into properly. i'm a bit unsure about the production, but the songs seem good. tuning down and adding vast amounts of pre-amp gain doesn't necessarily make a guitar sound heavy!
-
Deep Purple - Shades of Deep Purple
Spiritual Beggars - Return to Zero
-
been listening to Slash's Snakepit: Ain't Life Grand. i've decided i think this is Slash's best post G'N'R album. it's good, raw rock'n'roll. some good songs on there, and some real nice guitar. the recent stuff just sounds too... nice in comparison.
-
Warrior Soul - Salutations from the Ghetto Nation
Haven't listened to this for many years, but one of the songs just popped into my head so I dug the CD out. Still sounds bloody great!
Classic album!
-
Cannibal Ox - "The Cold Vein".
Bloody masterpiece, that record. Productions are great, and the lyrics are pure bloody genius. I really feel it brings the hardships of inner-city life across perfectly, but with SO much more poetic panache and elegance than I've ever seen any other rappers are capable of.
-
Cannibal Ox is good. There is a lot of good stuff like that out there.
I've been listening to King Crimson - Red, Rollins Band & Bad Brains (Pretty much everything by these bands)
-
Rory Gallagher - Top Priority
I really like this album. Just my cup of tea/favourite ale.
-
The Kills. They're not the band I though were (got them confused with the terrible The Thrills) and I'm loving this sleazy blues-rock inspired awesomeness!
-
Sugar - Copper Blue
Just bought the new Deluxe Editions of the three Sugar albums. Which has also prompted me to buy all of Bob Mould's more recent solo albums. So plenty of new listening material!
-
Hat Fitz and cara Robinson, Wily Ways. Absolutely brilliant!
-
RHCP - The Uplift Mofo Party Plan
Aerosmith - Toys In The Attic
Madball - hold it down
-
One of the truly great vocal performances of all time

Right now I'm loving the INXS and Jimmy Barnes tracks from the Lost Boys sound track.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwfeA0YQaME (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwfeA0YQaME)
I can't help thinking that most of the bands I talk about now are the bands that I was talking about a some time ago, kinda like saying they don't make music like they used to.
Loving the eighties in general!
-
I'm having another fling with Metallica's ReLoad. I love the album! So many sleezy riffs to sink my teeth into. It makes me happy.

-
This week I am mostly listening to...
Slaughter And The Dogs
Stiff Little Fingers
The Saints
Weirdos
-
Goo Goo Dolls - A Boy Named Goo. Pop rock perfection, same as with most of their other albums!
-
Uriah Heep - Look At Yourself
Royal Thunder - CVI
Rush - Clockwork Angels
Something old, something new..... and something new made by someone old.
-
I've heard lots of good things about Clockwork Angels. How do you rate it Philly?
-
On first impressions it's very, very good, maintaining the more aggressive, modern power trio feel of the last couple of albums. Haven't heard the songs enough times for them to stick in my head yet, but there's lots of great singin' and playin'.
Rush somehow manage to keep coming out with great, vital-sounding music even after 40 years. OK, I know many people will regard it as dad-rock which was uncool even in 1977, but to me they're a truly progressive band who've rarely, if ever, dipped below par (maybe a bit in the synthy period during the mid-'80s...).
My only complaint (and it's a small one) is that their sound is very "dense" these days. When they do a ballad, it doesn't quite have the delicacy of something like "Different Strings". But I can live with it!
-
Cheers Philly - may well give it a whirl.
Jane refers to Rush as dad rock. Shocking. I always try to point out the merits of their music but she never listens. Ive lost count of the amount of times I've played Natural Science to her and told her to 'just listen to the drums! Just listen!'
-
Paul Gilbert - Fuzz Universe
-
Rush - Exit Stage Left
-
Rush - Permanent Waves and A Farewell to Kings.
Inspired by our very own Philly Q!

Permanent Waves was the first Rush album I bought, on the day of release in 1980. And it's still my favourite.

So the new Rush album is out? Cool...
Most of my listening during the week is while commuting. I've been listening to just Rush, everyday, for nearly 2 years now. 1st album through to Snakes and Ladders (minus the live ones & a couple of mid-late ones) in rotation. I've tried other stuff, but it doesn't feel as good.

Is that because you don't like them? Which ones?
I find the albums from Signals to Roll the Bones a little below-par, although there's still loads of good stuff on them. They just felt like the band were treading water for a while. Counterparts was a big return to form, IMO.
-
Now listening to Rush in Rio,
I always had an awareness of them, but the power of South Park and the film "I love you, Man" got me to dig a little deeper, such a broad sound for a trio.

I believe all I'm missing is Presto (got it on vinyl) and Roll The Bones.
I have to admit that when I started this marathon I had the same sort of view as you, but the "middle period" has REALLY grown on me. More so than some of the obvious "classics". I'll have to sort out the new one (and maybe get the missing ones at the same time).
They've kind of snuck up on me - I loathed them in the late 70s early 80s. I bought "Archives" and "All the World's a Stage" in 82 or so, just to show willing, but found them boring and very wearing on the ears. Then they went synthy and I loathed them even more :lol:
But now, I personally think they are possibly the most amazing 3 musicians/songwriters I've ever heard. They still wouldn't spring to mind in a "who's your favourite band?" conversation - I don't know why though... there must be some reason why I've had to listen to them everyday!!
-

By coincidence, those two were among my earliest Rush purchases, in between the releases of Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures. But I loved them!
-
well, my girlfriend was very cool, and got me a small stack of Rory Gallagher CDs as a surprised birthday present :D so I've been working my way through those.
i like his melodic/less bluesy stuff the best. though some of those blues tracks are real toe tappers!
Rory's best stuff always reminds me of my favourite ale. Goes down a real treat.
-
Yep, I was working at home the other day and listened to Rory all day.
Meanwhile, my new Rush albums have arrived. I haven't had a chance to listen to the new one in much depth yet - my impression was that I loved it by the end. He's singing a LOT lower again, although I think it might be showing more because he doesn't seem to have plastered his leads with high harmonies this time. (Bear in mind that this is based on only one listen at a Mrs R imposed volume...)
I did notice that they seem to be recycling a lot of melodies on this one, there were several times I looked thinking "hang on, they've done that before". Never noticed that on previous albums.
The missing ones I picked up were Presto, Roll the Bones (or whatever it's called), and "the blue one with rocks on it" (these guys are utterly useless at memorable titles, especially song-titles :lol:)
Now, I do have Presto on vinyl somewhere, but I only listened to it once or twice when I bought it. Listened to it on the way in to work today - I LOVE this album.
-
I did notice that they seem to be recycling a lot of melodies on this one, there were several times I looked thinking "hang on, they've done that before". Never noticed that on previous albums.
It's a concept album, so there's some sort of theme running through it and frequent references to "the Watchmaker(s)". I haven't made any attempt to understand it!

I did wonder that (looking at the pretty pictures).
But that's not quite the kind of re-cycling I meant :lol:. It was more of a "hang on, they've done this (melody or chord progression) before on a previous album" - which kind of surprised me. Initial surprise was that they seemed to be doing it, and then the bigger surprise came when I realised that they've managed to avoid doing it (or have hidden it extremely well) in the past...
I'm probably going to set it running on the home journey tonight. I wouldn't be able to tell you where things were recycled from though - because I can't put any titles with any of the songs! (Apart from the really obvious ones).
And, to all "special" Rush fans - if I can't hear this alleged "recycling" second time round, I shall come back and retract the blasphemic statement in this post! :lol:
-
I'm really going nuts over a Japanese band called Zazen Boys these days. Bloody great stuff, if a bit weird.
-

Ah, I didn't realise that's what you were getting at. You're probably right, much as I love Rush I do feel that their songs have been getting a bit "samey" on the more recent albums. I thought that was just them getting deeper entrenched in their "signature sound", but maybe they actually are repeating bits!
Problem is, I know every note of the '70s/'80s albums, but I listen to music in a much more cursory fashion nowadays, I couldn't tell you song titles even. When I was in my teens/twenties I got into things much more intensely, I assume most people do the same but maybe it's just me. :lol:

what would be a good introduction. I know some stuff but can't be bothered googling to find a recommendation for a record. That's a boring way of being introduced to music anyway.
-
Been enjoying Coldworld and Anaal Nathrakh alot recently.
-
I am going through a real bad patch at the moment - listening to Sisters of Mercy, The Cult, early Billy Idol - I even dusted off a chorus pedal and started playing White Wedding and She Sells Sanctuary (both are pretty cool actually). I guess its the recession :?
-
in a bit of a 70's mood at the moment. Sly and the Family Stone last night, Aerosmith's Toys in the Attic this morning. why can't bands be this cool anymore? :)
-
Think I'll overload the forums if I listed em all, but here's a taste.
Guns 'n Roses
Slash ("Solo" projects)
ZZ Top
Rolling Stones
The Beatles
Judas Priest
Megadeth
Hendrix
Sabbath
Motörhead
ACDC
Airbourne
Simon & Garfunkel
BB King
Blues Brothers
Yes, I mash everything together to create awesomeness. Playlist has pretty much stayed the same for years, just with more stuff added. Above listed are all represented with 4 or more songs each. 'tis a big playlist.
Digital age and all, so I don't fumble about with records anymore.
That playlist does indeed play all day, everyday. Just incase you were wondering.
Anyways, what I am listening to this exact moment is the soundtrack to the first Death Star destruction in Star Wars (watching the movie right now for the billionth time.) Guess it doesn't count, but there you have it regardless. =)
-
Baroness - Yellow & Green
-
Currently listening to Blood For Blood - Serenity. What a superb album.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6czRC2TW0U

after being discussed on here somewhere, i got The Treatment's album ,This Might Hurt.
pretty good, great guitar tones and playing. there were the obvious AC/DC comparisons, but there was something about the singer that occasionally gave me deja vu. yes, in places he's like Bon Scott, but then it hit me! in certain places his tone and phrasing is just like Paul Stanley!
anyway, comparisons aside, good band. i'm enjoying it
-
Baroness - Yellow & Green
How are you liking it? Only dipped a toe in on my way to the shops and back the other day but, based on what I heard, I think I'm going to enjoy. And I've been a bit preoccupied with the new Testament album, which I'm loving.

Only listened to Yellow so far, it's atmospheric and very melodic. From the couple of reviews I'd read I was expecting lots of very slow, moody songs which take a long time to get into, but it actually sounds surprisingly upbeat and bouncy (unlikely as that may seem). I'm not saying they've turned into Abba, but it's not "metal" at all.
Hopefully I'll have time to listen to Green later.
Edit: I meant to say, I'm quite interesed in that Testament album... they were never one of my favourite bands to be honest, but it's been an absolute age since I bought a new CD of "proper" heavy music.
-

The last two (this newest one and Formation of Damnation from 2009), are both ace. I'd say FoD just nudges it, because I really like Paul Bostaph's drumming on it (new one's got Gene Hoglan who, while brilliant, seems to be drumming on EVERYTHING these days). I'd kind of slept on Testament prior to getting hold of FoD but, since hearing that, I've gone back through their older stuff and massively enjoyed a lot of it. They're certainly not embarrassing themselves these days the way that, say, Metallica are.
Going to try and find time to sit down with Yellow & Green at some point this afternoon and really get my teeth into it.
-
Oh yeah, I was going to buy that album, but then got sidetracked on Amazon by Rodrigo and Gabriela.
I've been listening th Rodrigo and Gabriela all day - amazing album and players.
-
Listened to 'Irish Tour' this afternoon. Just finished it as a matter of fact! Its a bit too bluesy for me, but theres some great stuff on there, particularly the lead word. Favourite track on there is "A Million Miles Away"
-
Ty Segall Band - Slaughterhouse. Awesome band!

been listening to the new Darkness album, Hot Cakes. it's pretty good. production wise, it's definitely the best sounding record they've done yet. song wise, they seem pretty good. will need a little growing in time of course. i do wish there was a bit more hard rocking on it though!
oh, their cover of Radiohead's Street Spirit is just as marvellous on record as it always has been live :)
-
Currently listening to Blood For Blood - Serenity. What a superb album.

Incredible band. Although recently let down by the vocalist allegedly sexually assaulting a minor.

I heard a track the other day (the single, perhaps?) They seem to have entirely lost their charm for me I'm afraid, maybe because I hated that second album so much. :|
Meanwhile I have been listening to:
Clutch - Robot Hive/Exodus
Black Sabbath - Cross Purposes
-
Clutch - Robot Hive/Exodus
Every day I wake up I drink a lot of coffee and watch the CNN.

Black Sabbath - The Eternal Idol (Deluxe Edition)
I've just been reading Tony Iommi's autobiography and it prompted me to plug some gaps in my collection, i.e. the Deluxe Editions I didn't already have (why no DEs of the later albums with Ozzy? :? )
I know it isn't cool, but I really like the "forgotten years" with Tony Martin on vocals, and The Eternal Idol is one of my absolute favourite Sabbath albums. This release is interesting, because the second disc includes the original sessions with Ray Gillen on vocals - a very worthwhile "extra".
-
Steps - Last Thing On My Mind
-
Ensiferum
-
Autopsy - All tomorrows funerals. new vinyl. :)
-
Sleep - Dopesmoker
I only listen to this once in a blue moon. When I saw there was a new remastered edition out, it seemed like it was about time....
-
I've become very weary of new remastered editions. They can sometimes involve some kind of brick wall mastering. Slowly I think some labels are starting wise up that people hate this. Vinyl editions still always sound better though. Just got vinyl versions of two Mastodon albums. They sound stunning compared to the CDs. (and they weren't particularly bad cd masters)
-
As an old hi-fi addict, vinyl has always sounded better than CD. Analogue baby. Shame convenience won out and I sold all my gear and records* I listen to music more on the computer now than anywhere else and they're all MP3s. Still buy the CDs even though they're just read in and stuck on a shelf. I'm still of the school that actually likes something physical when they buy something... Odd that it just doesn't bother me these days that it sounds nowhere near as good. I can still enjoy the music.
As for what I'm listening to at the moment. Monster Magnet - Spine of God. Which they're playing in full in Nov.
*actually it came down to a pair of very expensive amps that kept failing and winding me up. Should have kept the old one that was about 12 years old. Bloody idiot that I was, I thought a more modern amp would be better. Sadly not better or better made...
-
Yeah, I still have a lot of stuff on vinyl (probably 1,000+ albums), but a large percentage of them I now also have on CD and I haven't had a working turntable for many, many years.
I must admit I do miss the days of gatefold sleeves.... I bet those Mastodon and Baroness LPs have great packaging!
I agree that CD doesn't sound any better than vinyl (although I don't miss the crackles and pops!) and also that remasters often don't improve on previous editions. But I'm no audiophile, and I am a sucker for bonus tracks and all that nonsense, even though many of them are pretty worthless.
-
If you are hearing crackles and pops during the music you are not looking after your vinyl. Its really not an issue at all. lol
-
24/7 Spyz - Gumbo Millenium & Harder Than You
HR aka Human Rights - Viva Azania
Kraut - An Adjustment to Society

it sounds better because there is headroom and very wide dynamic range, the ironic thing is that people master the cr@p out of amazing sounding mixes for some reason as soon as they know it's digital, vinyl has a 15-20dB crest factor whereas lady gaga has a 3-4dB crest factor!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crest_factor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crest_factor)
The same thing is also happening to films which completley ruins the sound lol I could go on a massive rant here

Yep. Hence my return to vinyl. I have a program (iVolume) which works out the perceived volume of each track in my iTunes. It works like the inbuilt 'soundcheck' feature in iTunes but it adjusts the volume for the album as a whole rather than each individual track. Basically it makes all your albums the same volume so you dont get leaps in volume between albums/shuffle tracks.
The interesting thing about it is that you get the level of adjustment its made to do this viewable in each album. Some of the adjustments take the piss. When its adjusted all the album volumes to the same, the ones that were mastered too loudly clearly sound worse.
The best example of a ruined cd master but a great vinyl master I own is Slayer - Christ Illusion. The CD of that sounds really awful. The vinyl sounds great.
PS. If you are an itunes user i really recommend this>> http://www.mani.de/en/ivolume/index.html
Thought you might be interested in this... The loudest music in my iTunes.
Allowing for the fact I add 3db on top of a 'normalised' level, (and pretty much all modern cds have the sound adjusted downwards to meet the +3db that I add) 10db worth of adjustment on Iggys mix of 'Raw Power' is insane. Sound on that CD is truly terrible.
-
The Company Band - Pros & Cons EP
Fills the gap nicely until the next Clutch album comes along....

The thing is... Death Magnetic is no louder than any other Metallica album. Its just pointlessly mastered to CD with the levels boosted into distortion. After using iVolume when i play Metallica albums on shuffle on my itunes its exactly the same volume as ...and justice for all/master of puppets. Its just clearly distorted. Same thing with Slayer - Christ Illusion.
Which is the point of all this hate towards brick wall mastering. It makes the recording really distorted. If I want my music to be loud I'll turn my amp up!

Gary Moore, Blues For Jimi. it's Gary doing covers of Hendrix songs (that's the Hollywood explanation bit, for anyone that didn't get it from the name :) )
it's pretty good, some great strat tones. but, as was Gary's way, he does often get a little carried away with the gain and speed in the solos. still great stuff, from a pair of sadly missed masters

Currently giving repeated listening / watching to two tracks from the new(ish) Tom Waits Album '" Bad As Me" - over on you tube ; namely 'Satisfied' - and " Hell Broke Luce". The former being surprisingly catchy ( with Tom's compelling dance moves of course ) - and the later having stunning visuals / and a stark anti-war message.
On both, the great Marc Ribbot providing wonderfully apt / raw guitar work. I understand that Keef appears on 'Satisfied' - as he is name checked during it.

I do like Marc Ribot. Like most great guitarists you know it's him playing the second you hear the first note.
-
I've been listening to lots of Tool and A Perfect Circle recently. I'm addicted. I love Maynard James Keenan's style....
And the tasteful riffs by Adam Jones alongside the insane bass lines are awesome.
I've also been listening to Amy Winehouse a lot recently. Love her voice.
-
Barb Wire Dolls debut album, Slit. pretty good. angry, punky, hard rocking.
-
ZZ Top's Rhythmeen. Great album which I did not appreciate when I bought it at the release time but it grew on me.
Cheers Stephan
-
I'm currently in love with Born of Osiris' Discovery album and Chelsea Grin's Evolve album too. Coincidentally Jason Richardson was the lead guitarist for both those albums and tried out for All Shall Perish. Who I love as well. It's magic!
Also - if anyone can recommend some old school drum and bass or modern funk, I'm all open for them! And anything like old Prodigy, like their 'No Good' song.

New Bad Brains record. Into the future. I love it.

This week I've mainly had Crass, Mike & Rich (expert knob twidlers) and the same couple of John Martyn songs on constant loop. Can't say my music taste isn't eclectic :lol:

The XX - XX. Can't believe I never used to like these guys before, didn't give them enough of a chance. Perfect lazy weekend music!

Just listened to Led Zep's Babe I'm Gonna Leave You again for the first time in a while, almost forgot how much I loved it. Such a raw, powerful performance from Jimmy and especially Robert. Gives me chills every time!

Do you have to pay for them?

Yeah, but I got the live Chickenfoot album for 3 quid or something ridiculous.
Haven't actually bought any albums for ages, but this might change now...

i haven't heard VHIII, is that the one with Gary Cherone? but i did get the new one, it's actually pretty good
-
Yeah the new VH album was actually really good in my opinion. It's just a shame that the songs they marketed were the weakest on the album. If they'd put more stock into Stay Frosty, Trouble w/ Never, Beats Workin, etc. I think they'd have fared much better.
-

Blue Öyster Cult - On Your Feet Or On Your Knees

Not really a cradle of filth fan but I can't get enough of 'Nymphetamine' at the minute. Dani Filth's and Liv Kristine's voices really shine on this.

been listening to Bowie 'Where are we now' and not really sure if I like a auto-tune on his voice, apart from that it's way better than I was expecting

I'd think Bowie would stay away from Autotune, his voice must be in rough shape.

T&N (tooth and nail) Slave To the Empire album.
It's George Lynch & Jeff Pilson - Some Dokken classics updated (VERY WELL which is unusual) and some originals. Guest vocals from Doug Pinnick, Robert Mason, Sebastian Bach, Tim “Ripper” Owens.
Great stuff.

I stumbled across a band from Sweden called Graveyard for the first time last week and have been playing the three albums they have solidly. If you are remotely interested in awesome classic rock but like to hear new band play it from the heart check these guys out.
I have no idea why they seemed to have passed me by until now. This is the shitee...

New Riverside album out today, it's rather excellent
http://youtu.be/HAqU-RDnYyY (http://youtu.be/HAqU-RDnYyY)
Liking that Graveyard! Totally up my street.
-
There's a good remastered collection of the Moving Sidewalks out now called, unimaginatively, "The Complete Moving Sidewalks". Really good funky, fuzzy, Texas psychedelia from '67-'68. I reckon the guitarist in that band could really make something of himself...
-
Damn, that's two bands i've never heard of that both sound excellent! i'll be checking them out

I've heard some Graveyard stuff before, but Riverside is a completely new one to me.
I'm so out of touch nowadays.... but it doesn't even bother me that much. Which is sort of worrying in itself. :?
-
Graveyard are the only modern band of this style I've heard in a long time that sound like the real deal. So many classic rock style bands sound like pale imitations of their influences. These guys seem to have real mojo. The albums really capture the band well and the live clips I've seen of them are really electric.

-
Riverside are a prog outfit. A bit Porcupine Tree, with a Floydian influence. New album is properly retro sounding though. A bit different and I'm really digging it (not that I don't dig their early stuff). Great live band too.

I like Porcupine Tree so gave that a listen. And I like it.
Noce one - cheers!

Rick Derringer - Face To Face
Like all Derringer albums, the songwriting is patchy, but on this particular one there are some killer guitar solos. This made a big impression on me when I bought it on vinyl in 1980, both the music and the BC Rich on the cover! Great to finally have it on CD.

Blur: Strange news from another star

since i got my new car, which still has a cassette player, i've been listening to very little. it is frustrating! i must get around to getting a cd player installed

I just re-fitted the radio that came with the merc. Doesn't even have a tape deck. Loving it!

Really into Mastodon - Crack the Skye at the minute :) Just learning The Czar, it's awesome!

Yngwie Malmsteen's Odyssey album (c. 1988), featuring Joe Lynn Turner on vocals. I listened only through the first three songs this morning but what great stuff is this.
Cheers Stephan
-
Ah memories. I was at college when that came out. In a free period I picked it up in town and proceeded to to listen to it on a walkman the size of a house brick.
Those were the days!
-
John Fogerty (and Creedence Clearwater Revival) - The Long Road Home
When I was young, I wouldn't be caught dead with a "best of" - if I was interested in a band I'd go out and buy their whole back-catalogue. I realised I was getting old when compilations started appearing in my collection.... :wink:
Anyway, Creedence is one of those bands I never liked enough to buy their albums, but I always liked some of their songs - and most of the hits are on here. Must say, I'm not so keen on the John Fogerty solo material.... it's slicker, less raucous, more polished and quickly gets a bit boring.
-
Been listening to High On Fire most of the day as I'm going to see them tonight. :twisted:
-
Fuzzbox - Bostin steve austin
new re-release of the Fuzzy ones first album. it's a fun and funky fuzzy pop album! i always liked that band, and they're second record, Big Bang, is still one of my favourites. their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody is magnificent! :)
-
Fuzzbox - Bostin steve austin
Is that as in We've Got a Fuzzbox and We're Gonna Use It? I remember the band, sort of, but not any of their songs.
-
the very ones, Philly. and on the first album, they did indeed use their fuzzbox :) they sounded rather more polished by the second one. beyond their enormously catchy singles, and scantily clad red head singer in their videos, they had some great songs. they actually reformed in recent times, but unfortunately their guitarist died before christmas. i think it was quite sudden.
-
Bloc Party. Never gave them much of a listen when they were first popular but I really like em at the minute! Silent Alarm is an awesome album, as is Four. Great tones and interesting guitar parts.
-

I like the first album. Second one they lost it a bit. Third one was truly awful so I lost interest at that point. The first one is class. If you enjoy that check out the debut by The Rakes 'Capture/Release' its brilliant. The singer from Bloc Party stands in for the Rakes singer when he loses his voice lol.
-
Have you heard Four? Its much better than the 2nd and 3rd albums - worth a listen! I'll check out that band as well.
-
TBH its the first I've heard of it. I actually thought they had split up :/
-
My brother likes Bloc Party and some of those other guitar-based bands who emerged around the same time (I forget their names, sorry....)
It's OK, but I just can't get really into them. I guess I'm too old.
-
I love Silent Alarm (especially Like Eating Glass). Strangely I've never listened to anything else by them.
-
I was never into this sort of music at the time (think they were popular when I was in my "power metal phase" :lol: ) but now I really like the twin-guitar interplay. One of my favourite sounds is two singlecoil-sounding guitars doing completely different things that compliment each other in an interesting way.
-

I do know what you mean, I can't think of examples(!) but that sort of stuff is interesting. Hard for me to understand, though, it's quite an "alien" sound when you've grown up on power chords and blues scales.
I'd love to be able to play various different styles like country picking, chord-melody jazz and especially some of the folk-influenced things Richard Thompson does. But it's never gonna happen! :lol:
-
I think this is the best example I can think of right now - Q and Not U - Washington Monument (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NqUuAkD1jY)

Queen and Queen II
I'm watching the Days of Our Lives documentary (again). Such a good documentary. I recommend anyone who is even remotely in to Queen give it a viewing. It's on the iPlayer currently.
-
I think this is the best example I can think of right now - Q and Not U - Washington Monument
That was alright - it reminded me a bit of Sunny Day Real Estate, without actually sounding massively similar! :lol:
I just bought the new expanded Anniversary edition of Fleetwood Mac's Rumours and, since they were cheap, I got the remasters of Fleetwood Mac and Tusk at the same time. I'm not really a big fan, but there are some classic songs on there.
I do seem to be buying more - what should I call it? - middle of the road, less rocky music at the moment. It's not that my tastes have changed, I think I'm just interested in exploring all that stuff, mostly from the '70s, that I saw in record shops (remember them?) for many years but never actually heard.
-
Heard this band called Surfer Blood on the radio the other night, really like this song (https://soundcloud.com/warnerbrosrecords/surfer-blood-weird-shapes-1). Quite Pixies and Weezer inspired.
The rest of them don't seem to match up though.
-
WIll give that a listen later - I like Weezer and love Pixies. Incidentally I have been listening to Surfer Rosa and Come on Pilgrim this morning. Some cracking stuff on there.
-
Weezer's Blue Album. So good!
-
The New Albums From Random Jon Poole; his solo album and The Goddamn Whores second album. both very good

I've been getting into George van Eps recently, the guy practically invented fingerstyle jazz guitar and very few people have really taken it past where he left off.
This is him playing a tune called Lap Piano on one of the earliest 7 string electrics.

Being an old-fashioned type, I pre-ordered it on CD some time ago.... it's on its way from Amazon now! :D
However, after reading a couple of interviews in guitar magazines this week, I have been listening to something which actually doesn't seem to be available on CD:
Wilson T King - Last of the Analogues
-
Richard Thompson- Electric. Pretty damn good so far, a little harder edged than his other more recent stuff.

No idea about gear on that particular album, but Tim Sult is mostly a Les Paul through Marshall Plexi guy. I think he's also used AC30s and Top Hat amps (which are Vox-influenced, I think?). He also has SGs and Juniors - very much a Gibson guy, unless he's changed gear recently!
My CD has arrived (at last), can't wait to hear it!
Edit: Now listening to Clutch - Earth Rocker. Wow, wow, and wow. Brilliant. It's their most hard-rocking album for a very long time (not saying that's a good or bad thing, because I love all their work). To me, they're head and shoulders above any other other band of the last 25 years. I can't understand why they're not huge.
-
Unto The Breach is my favourite so far I reckon :)

John Murry and Frank Turner mainly. I'm getting soft in my old age. Blame the wife.

Watched Sister Act 2 the other day, shameful I know. It reminded me just how good Lauryn Hill is. Been listening to the Fugees for the past couple of days.
Last I heard about Lauryn Hill was that she was off to prison. Shame really.

Some random busker performing "Brown Eyed Girl" at Oxford Circus tube station. :|
I loathe the song anyway (as a cacky karaoke/pub singer favourite it ranks right up there with "Mustang Sally"), but this pillock's rendition was even worse than the played-out original.
-
Converge. Can't believe I've gone so long without listening to them, awesome band.

I'm listening to a lot of J D McPherson's "Signs and Signifiers" album at the present. Really great, stripped back rock and roll/rockabilly sound. Great debut I think.

Yeah, I agree! It's more a a cool relaxing lighter listening experience. I do dig the sound they have, not many today dares to move away from the overproductions in todays music.
Although, why did they have to over compress during mastering?????? Really bugs me out.

Nope, I have a very good transcription that I picked up from Juliard; I can look it up if you're interested. But they are not transcribed for guitar, it's for harpsichord or clavichord or whatever it was. =p
I would play them as duets with my guitar teacher; having someone else playing the complementary part while you are playing one can REALLY throw you off!!

after an acquaintance insisting that it was brilliant, i decided to revisit Ratt's Out Of The Cellar album, having dismissed it as rubbish about 20 years ago. I have come back to other music that i didn't get before and ended up loving it. Having now endured this record twice, I have again dismissed it as rubbish. How did that awful band ever get a record deal, never mind a hit song?!

Now that is a very good question! :D

Funny you should mention that, I almost bought one of those "Original Album Classics" collections of Ratt albums just the other day. I have most of them on vinyl, but haven't heard them for a very long time. In the '80s I liked them, but they were never one of my favourite bands.
So I was looking at the track listing and thinking "hmmm, that one's OK, that's not very good, don't remember that one at all.... that one's rubbish!" I didn't bother in the end.
Meanwhile, I have been listening to Spirit, Jo Jo Gunne, Galactic Cowboys and (something new!) Kadavar.

with respect I strongly disagree, they were far better than your average band, especially the guitar playing. I think detonator is their best album, you'd probably hate it even more.
-
I put Detonator on afterwards (i bought that 5 album set Philly was talking about) and it is much better. the guitars sound much better, the first one sounded like cheap practice amps! and the drums don't sound like tupperware and wooden spoons any more :) But it's still not the best i've ever heard. The singer (Stephen Pearcey?) is still terrible. I'd have to disagree with you, and it is just personal opinion of course, but i'd consider them an average at best band. At least Detonator has half decent songs, Out Of The Cellar seems like bits of forgettable music with widdly solos. they do seem like good guitarists, but only on the leads.
-
I remember when Ratt first came on the scene it was Robbin Crosby (RIP) who got all the attention as a guitarist, I guess because he was gobby, had bigger hair and was about 6'5". It actually took a couple of albums before even the guitar mags started noticing that Warren DeMartini was (a) pretty damn good and (b) very much the lead guitarist (to be fair to Crosby, I think they did pretty much share the leads at first then DeMartini came increasingly to the fore).
And yes, Stephen Pearcy is an absolutely dreadful singer.

Desperate Souls Of Tortured Times by Age of Taurus.
Really good - their debut album. The drummer is a mate of mine, the release is on a label owned by the ex Napalm Deth/Cathedral vocalist. It's got a great Sabbath/Alice In Chains feel to it, there are some really solid songs. Cracking little album all round.

to celebrate getting my old dvd-A/SACD player connected up in my gym room, i listened to The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. turns out it's not the best workout music :) but i still love that album

Someone posted up a clip of theirs and I ended up buying all their albums. Awesome stuff for fans of 60s-70s hard rock (which isn't what it is, but it's what it most sounds like).
-
Queensryche - Queensryche. The remaining band members fronted by Todd LaTorre. F**k me sideways if it isn't Queensryche how they used to be in the glory days. The only downside is it's brevity.
Avoid the Frequency Unknown album (released just before and a not so subtle FU to the old band on the cover), Tate's version of Queensryche (basically him and hired hands). Proving that it was Tate that ruined them after he wrestled complete creative control of the band post Promised Land, turning out progressively rancid shat from then on.
-
^
That's interesting. I haven't listened to Queensryche for many years, and when they split into two factions I pretty much wrote them off. But now I'd like to hear the Todd LaTorre version.
-
Emily Remembered by Deidre Cartwright and Kathy Dyson. Awesome music by two stunning players ...

I couldn't agree more. Spot on.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the "real" Queensryche in October.

Got hold of the new Queens of the Stone Age album a few weeks back. Great stuff, very impressed.

High on Fire - De Vermis Mysteriis. Pikes voice on this album is $%&#ing exceptional.
-
Connected my recordplayer last evening and played some old singles. Suzy Quattro (48 Crash, Can the Can). The Knack ( My Sharona) and 'piece de resistance' Brian Ferry (Let's stick together... did I really bought that one?)
-
I just gave Major Powers and the Lo-Fi Symphony record "We Became Monsters" a spin and I was very pleased. To me the band can best be described as Queen meets Zappa meets Muse meets Panic! At the Disco. It's guitar/piano driven rock with lots of small details and a good dose of quirky humor. Check out the opining number 93,000,000 Miles
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFZbuvE5XnI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFZbuvE5XnI)
Another album I listened to today is "Diary of a Soul Fiend" by Saint Jude. Also a good album where the music style is classic rock with lots of guitar and a few ballads as well. Check out Soul on Fire

Cool band Philly :) check out Jex Thoth
Yeah, I will do! I've seen the name many times but haven't investigated yet. I'll investigate Earthride too, I see there's a Spirit Caravan connection.
I'm very much into these '70s retro bands at the moment - Graveyard, Witchcraft, Kadavar, Orchid, Ghost (although the latter don't quite fit the mould). It's my way of pretending I like some "new" music. :lol:
-
I really liked the first Ghost album but thought the second one was teribad. Check out Serpent Venom and Uncle Acid & the deadbeats too then 8)
-
I've been listening to Renaissance's Ashes Are Burning a lot lately. Sounds to me like they had quite a big influence on Kansas, but I would have to check the dates ... but a lot of their music sounds eerily similar to classic Kansas!

Yeah, I'm not sure about Ghost - I do like the sound but there's a whiff of fakery about them, like they think there's money to be made from the theatrical image and "nameless ghoul" nonsense.
Serpent Venom I hadn't heard of, love their album cover! :D
I keep seeing Uncle Acid & the deadbeats (in my Amazon recommendations) but it's the name that puts me off - makes me think of Zodiac Mindwarp & the Love Reaction and (worse) Doctor and the Medics.... :lol:

It's funny, I only really know Renaissance for a hit single they had in 1978 called "Northern Lights"! Would never have thought of them as any kind of progressive rock band.
I see what you mean about the similarities to early Kansas. I found this in an interview with Kerry Livgren:
Well, much has been said and much has been made of the British influence of progressive rock on Kansas. I think it has been an overstated taste. Truth is, Kansas was very much headed down a progressive road before we ever heard of most of those British bands. A couple of years ago some very early recordings were released of the original Kansas, under the name Proto-Kaw, which is the band I’m in now.
Those recordings were from ‘71 and ‘72, and I think they pretty well demonstrate, for historical record, that we had a very progressive sound prior to any influence by any of those British bands. It was more like we were contemporaries of them rather than derivative of them. I will give them due credit for later on, being part of the same genre, if you will.
Of course, you tend to bounce ideas off your contemporaries, if not in person, at least from listening to their music. I wouldn’t say we were completely devoid of their influence; that wouldn’t be true either. But on the other hand, we were very much cut from that same mold right from the get go.
-
It's funny, I only really know Renaissance for a hit single they had in 1978 called "Northern Lights"! Would never have thought of them as any kind of progressive rock band.
It's more Canterbury over straight up prog, but I quite like it. A lot of their cuts are quite long and epic in scope, too -- but more pastoral/symphonic a la early Genesis (which I also classify as Canterbury) not like Yes or Jethro Tull...

Ah, I'd forgotten all about the Canterbury sound! I'm far from an expert in prog, but I have been getting into it a bit in recent years. Still very much more on the "...rock" side than the "prog..." side, though.
-
I embarrassingly have only just discovered Tony Martin era Black Sabbath. How the hell did I miss this first time around!? Tyr, Headless Cross and The Eternal Idol. What cracking albums they are! It's sad that he seems almost erased from Sabbath history really.

Cross Purposes is good too. Forbidden, on the other hand, is $%&#ing bollocks.
Tony Martin was excellent on those records, I'd say he even (whisper....) gave Dio a run for his money, on sheer quality of the vocals. The Eternal Idol is one of my absolute favourite Sabbath albums.

Atlanta Rhythm Section - The Best Of
I bought this after watching "Southern Rock at the BBC" on BBC4 last week - mainly because the ARS clip seemed so very good after the terrible Black Oak Arkansas song which preceded it.
It is, to be honest, all a bit too slick and polished, but they're good songs, very well played. And there are some extremely nice melodic jazzy-rock guitar solos in some of the tracks. It's reminiscent of Steely Dan at times.
-
Discovered this Japanese shoegaze (I think) band thanks to reddit, loving it! I need to find more things like this.

A lot of bluegrass both old and new:
The devil makes three
Doc Watson
Earl Scruggs
Trampled by Turtles
-
Orchid - Through the Devils Doorway and Capricorn
These guys sound so much like early Sabbath that it's almost taking the piss, you can sit dissecting the songs to try to figure out where they've nicked each riff from. They're pretty much a tribute band.... but a good one.
Points deducted for complete lack of originality, but if Sabbath had never existed I'd love Orchid. Or I'd be sitting here saying they sound exactly like Led Zeppelin or Uriah Heep.

Recently I have mostly been listening to minimalist NY classical grouping Bang On A Can.
Happened upon a YouTube video about them and loved it so bought some stuff (Classics & Music For Airports - Live).
I feel kind out place on here! I have been checking out some of the Djent, doom, grindcore, etc stuff. And I thought the stuff I liked was obscure!
-
Hot Chip. After seeing them at Latitude I'm an instant fan!
-
Concrete jungle by Bob Marley. God, it's tedious. I just don't get it.
-
I've been checking out the most recent Asphyx album ('Deathhammer') and the album by Grand Supreme Blood Court (which basically consists of a number of current and former Asphyx members and members of related band Hail of Bullets, including the 'classic' Asphyx guitarist Eric Daniels) in my car sound system. Very enjoyable old school death metal.
-

Black Star Riders - Thin Lizzy rides again!

Michael Monroe: Horns & Halos. New album, just arrived yesterday. The last one was mostly written by Ginger, and sounded kind of like a Wildhearts record, this one has Dregen writing and on guitar, and does indeed sound kinda like a Backyard Babies album! in both cases, this is no bad thing :) I'm quite enjoying it so far

I never liked Michael Monroe or Hanoi Rocks, but you've reminded me that I really loved Backyard Babies for a while. Haven't listened to them for years!
-
Yeah, I always found Hanoi Rocks frustrating, you'd get a brilliant song surrounded by mediocre ones, and they would all sound like they'd been recorded and produced by different bands at different times! they actually remind me of the Stones.
Michael's solo albums are a lot more consistent, and I've enjoyed the ones I've heard. He does seem to be a bit marmite though, people seem to either love or absolutely loath his voice
-
Hanoi Rocks fall into that "rock'n'roll", as opposed to "rock" category for me, along with the likes of the Quireboys, Dogs D'Amour, even the Black Crowes to an extent. Definitely a Stones, Chuck Berry etc influence, and there's always the horrible lurking threat that, instead of hearty powerchords, your ears may be assaulted by some honky-tonk piano or (shudder) saxophone. :x
All those bands have songs I like, but too many I don't like, I'm afraid.
-
Baroness - Yellow & Green
Why haven't I listened to this more since I bought it? It's really good.

Pagan Altar - The Time Lord

Ethel The Frog and a bunch of early Praying Mantis

Windhand - Windhand
Windhand - Soma
Cough/Windhand - Reflections on the Negative
Another new band for me. Very, very slow and doomy but with surprisingly melodic vocals. I like 'em.
(The Cough track on the split EP is genuinely quite scary, in a horror movie kind of way)
-
Right now I love Tom Waits - Raindogs. Perfect for riding my bike through Malmö at night. Gives everything such a nice dark and obscurely funny atmosphere.
Also some REM - Automatic for the people. Great inspiration. Gonna try do play 1-2 songs off that next weekend at a cabin trip. Nightswimming has such a wonderful arrangement.
-
Picked up the new Bill Callahan (Dream River) and a Meg Baird (Dear Companion).
Oh and Maya Basier (Ancient Loops).
So, it's pretty mellow here really...

I got the Remastered special editions of Thin Lizzy's last two albums, Renegade and Thunder & Lightning. From what I'd heard before, I expected to quite like T&H, and for Renegade to be a bit limp. I've found the opposite. I'll certainly be giving T&H a few more listens, but I've had Renegade on in the car all week. It's not a classic album perhaps, but it's quite good.

Very underrated! I do like quite a lot of prog (for want of a better word) generally, but Martin Barre always gave Jethro Tull a hard rock element which makes the band appeal to me more than, say, Yes or Genesis.
And I like the flute too. :lol:

Absolutely true. I wasn't so much into symphonic 'rockbands', but Tull created a happy marriage between folk, rock en symphonic music in very good compositions. The flute became a trademark, but I was always more focussed on Barre. He played amazing licks. Very tasty!
-
Wavves - King Of The Beach. Good stuff. lo/mid-fi garage poppy rock type stuff :)
-
Thanks to my father I grew up on Jethro Tull. I think it shaped my musical tastes a whole darn lot.
Right now I am listening to a classic rock station here in Sweden (the only one my MP3 player can get here). Where I come from in Germany there is no radio station that playes rock (some do more mainstream stuff from time to time but always just feels like 20% of their songs at the absolute max).
I therefore really enjoy this a lot, great to listen so to many amazing songs again. Throwback city right here.
-
Right now I am listening to Tygers Of Pan Tang, Animal Instinct.
Yesterday it was Heresy, 20 Reasons To End It All.
Both great, very different styles

Robin Trower - State to State
Gov't Mule - Shout!

Right now I have a few days of listening to some rap stuff. Interresting to listen to the flow, pacing and rythm of a good rapper. Can give cool ideas for guitar playing as well.
Plus guys like Casper actually have real bands who sometimes play interresting things. Love the studio version of Kontrolle / Schlaf. Nice use of an Ebow there.
Really, even if it is german rap, I think you might apprechiate some things he and his guys do here. http://youtu.be/QdWtyEfiyAk (http://youtu.be/QdWtyEfiyAk)
Sides that:
Casper - XOXO
Mac Miller - KIDS
Mac Miller - Blue Slide Park
Fort Minor - The Rising Tide
-
Brian Setzer - Americano
-
Finally got to listen to Slash - Apocalyptic Love. Had that lying around since forever but forgot about it. Shame I did so, as it is a mighty fine rock album. I feel I can learn a lot from what he does there. Amazing stuff.
Now if I could just get the chorus to "Crazy Life" out of my head...
-
Yep, that is a great album indeed. Me and Jane had it on near constant repeat in the car when it came out. That and AB III - also a great great album. I've not listened to Fortress yet but will o doubt give it a go soon.
Lately I've been mainly listening to a mixture of Rush, Nick Cave and Derek Trucks. Bit of a mixture there!
-
Rory Gallagher - Tattoo
Inspired by AndyR's thread about the recent Rory Gallagher remasters, I'm working my way through the albums, slowly, in chronological order. This one's the best so far, I think...
-
I got the new Kreator blu ray + 2CD box set called 'Dying Alive'. It's excellent. A German release, I don't know if the blu ray is region-locked (on Region B) as I don't have a Region A player. It's great that they are still going strong after thirty years!

Monster Magnet - Last Patrol and Sasquatch - IV.
I've got both imminent on CD, but I couldn't wait so I was naughty.
-
Monster Magnet - Last Patrol
And..... is it any good?
-
I'm wondering too, I have Last Patrol on pre-order. I'd have to put Monster Magnet right up among my top 3 or 4 bands, love them!
-
Loving it. Definitely a Dopes era kinda vibe to it.
-
Loving it. Definitely a Dopes era kinda vibe to it.
Oooh, promising! That's the era I liked the bad best, I gradually lost interest in the later albums and didn't buy the last couple.
I read an interview/quote from Wyndorf where he said (IIRC) they were going back to a 60s/70s garage/psychedelic vibe on Last Patrol. Which made me think it could be good, or it could sound forced and bogus.
-
It's not as heavy as Dopes. But it doesn't sound recent IYSWIM... Suck it and see. I like it, but then I like God Says No also...
-
God Says No was the first one I got, and i loved it. then i got some of the others and at first didn't like the rawer, fuzzier spaced out stuff. But of course that's what i ended up loving! :) I still think God Says No is a great album though
-
Looking back, I've got all the early stuff (except maybe the first EP, thought I had it but I can't find it), God Says No was the last one I got! So I'm four albums behind.
My decline in interest seems to have coincided with the arrival of Phil Caivano on guitar, so I always blame him even though it may not be his fault at all.
-
I really liked Mastermind and the other two (Monolithic Baby and 4-Way Diablo) were pretty good. I don't think they've actually done one that I don't like... IMO this one is the same sort of level as MB and 4WD.
-
They're all good. I've always found Monster Magnet's albums to be growers, I've never instantly liked any of them! Monolithic Baby is a particular favourite, as is Powertrip. I'm hoping my copy will be waiting for me this evening :)
-
Coney Hatch - Four
This was totally unexpected, their first album for 28 years! And it's pretty damn good. I always liked their songwriting, and I'm surprised Steve Shelski never got any attention as a lead guitar player, I think he's excellent.
-
Been listening to Jeff Beck quite a bit over the past few days, cant stop listening to Cause We've ended as Lovers, and People Get Ready. Others include:
Roy Buchanan

I think thats about it for now :)

This week has been spoken word ... Newest season of Cabin Pressure and HPLHS's awesome radio drama adaptation of The Call Of Cthulu.

Had a good metal / metalcore run for a few days. Somethings I had running where:
All that remains - The fall of ideals
Trivium - Ember to Inferno
Killswitch Engage - Alive or just breathing
All still lovely stuff.
After that I had a weird emotinal break and went to see a dance piece which had one of my favorite albums of all time as the soundtrack.
Jónsi - Go
Incredible ride.
Now I am currently going for something to inspire me with my midterm writing, especially for my creative writing course.
Saul Williams - Vulcanic Sunlight
Compared to his previous work more accesible, more minimalistic, but still hard hitting. Such a great artist and poet.

Van Halen F.U.C.K. Got some nice songs there. And again I thought that Eddie's tone was rather clear and not overly distorted. Also a bit more dynamic than on OU812.

That's the only Hagar album i like. it's a great record, and the guitar sounds on it are fantastic.
I just got Beasto Blanco's album, Live fast, Die Loud. It's really good. Not exactly original, sort of like a mixture of Motorhead and Rob Zombie, but a lot of fun and full of energy
(Beasto Blanco is the "solo" band of Alice Cooper's bassist, Chuck Garric)

The new album by Weekend Nachos, streaming here:

If you are not familiar with them the genre is called powerviolence, a form of hardcore

Y&T - Earthquake: The A&M Years
Seven albums, including (IMO) all their best stuff, in a four CD box set - good value even though I had four of them on CD already. :)

Spiritual Beggars - Spiritual Beggars
New reissue of their first album, with a second CD of rarities.

Rush - Exit Stage Left. Going back to good memories, when I saw them live in Rotterdam.

Spiritual Beggars - Spiritual Beggars

I HATE it when they do that. I've only just managed to track down the first album for sensible money and they go and re-issue it 2 months later. grrrrrrrr!

I didn't realise the first album was hard to get hold of (except the very first version with the "Indian" artwork), but it's not the first time the early Spiritual Beggars albums have been re-released with bonus tracks, so point taken!
I did the same with the early Trouble albums a few years back, bought them at great expense and within months they were re-released.

Yeah it'd been expensive for some time and I thought I'd bagged a bargain. ah well.
I'm still trying to get Headless Cross for sensible money.

I got Headless Cross for an okay price on CD but when it arrived I found it had a card cover. Not sure what that means

What, like a digipak, or a mini LP sleeve? Or a card sleeve round a jewel case?
I bought it when it originally came out and mine is just a normal jewel case. It has black & white cover art, I think some of the later reissues were coloured?

Firstly I finally got around to listening to the newest Heaven Shall Burn album. Wanted to do that for quite a while and since I got tickets for them on the 8th (no talking and moving on the 9th) I finally did it. First impression is cool, still the best of german metalcore. They got a unique flavour and I enjoy some ideas they did. Lyrics cool as always (not the generic metalcore stuff) touching upong political and leftist themes, plus self reliance. Great that they finally cleared up the production after the last two albumbs were plagued by utterly horrible mastering. Think I really like this one. Probably won´t beat Iconoclast, Death to our prayers or Antigone but hey, can´t judge right now. So:
Heaven Shall Burn - Veto
After that, nice fall weather here these days (either freezing windy rain or warm autumn sun) so I went for a round celtic rock.
Runrig - Day of Days
It´s their 30th anniversary concert and very cool. The crowd singing on Hearts of olden Glory is amazing. Plus I got some ideas for celtic style scales and phrasings I hope to somehow learn and incorporate. Also lovely volume swells and a great guitar sound all in all I feel.
-
Deap Vally and their Sistrionics album , great sound for just a guitar and drums and a breath of fresh air.

just discovered Jonathan Wilson, who records exactly how they did in the late 60s and 70s, to TAPE! great to hear music that sounds so open and good with decent headroom. He is quite awesome and deserves more recognition so I'm spamming you all with this:

Avenged Sevenfold - Hail to the King
I must admit, I don't know much about this band's previous material... I always saw their haircuts and silly names and assumed they would play that annoying "melodic bit/shouty bit" kind of music, which I can't stand.
But I heard a couple of tracks from this and really liked them, so I thought what the hell. And it is $%&#ing good.

To me they sound like a cross between Metallica and Guns 'N Roses. But that's not a terrible thing to sound like. GNR aren't doing anything and Metallica have been shite for years.

I've been listening to Monster Magnet-The Last Patrol, which we were talking about a couple of weeks ago. It arrived late, despite being ordered direct from the record company! better than last time, when they lost my order entirely and refused to do anything about it. I had said i wouldn't buy off them again, but i only remembered that after i'd ordered the new one :oops:
Anyway, pretty good album. It does seem to hark back to the sound of their first couple of records, but a bit more focused. not quite as many psyche out noise bits :)

I got that as well. Sounded good, not as retro/trippy/psychedelic as I'd feared from the advance hype. Only played it once though, I should give it another go.
I've been listening to Witchcraft quite a lot recently. They've changed musical style quite a bit but it's all good.

I haven't heard any rock music for a week as I've been away for Christmas.
Back home again, I played that A7X Hail to the King album again last night. It's not a grower! Some of the tracks are good but the second half is really, really boring and samey. I think it's one of those CDs where it might be best to play the tracks in random order to add an element of surprise (I find the last Black Sabbath album is like that too).
My last CD purchase of 2013 (probably) will be Red Fang - Whales and Leeches.
-
Alot of Spirit Caravan and Wino 8)

Still listening to Protest The Hero - Volition loads, its hardly left my car cd player since I got it. Just absolutely awesome. Mist is my track of 2013 and I've decided I need to learn to play it all, got the intro down finally! Drumhead Trial is also a favourite song, anything with the lyrics "standing before the heavens screaming, bring on the storm, bring on the rain, bring on the jesters and bring on the pain" can't disappoint! :P
What are your guys albums of the year? I would say Earth Rocker but Volition just pipped it to the post I think. Fuzz' self titled is awesome as well.

Off the top of my head I'd go with
Lumbar - The First and Last Days
Suffocation - Pinacle of Bedlam
Jex Thoth - Blood Moon Rise
-

Without thinking about it very much, so I may be forgetting something:
Blood Ceremony - The Eldritch Dark
Clutch - Earth Rocker
Avatarium - Avatarium
-
In order:
Riverside - Shrine of New Generation Slaves (get the one with the extra disc)
Clutch - Earth Rocker
Spiritual Beggars - Earth Blues
Monster Magnet - Last Patrol
Samsara Blues Experiment - Waiting for the Flood
Gloryhammer - Tales from the Kingdom of Fife
Doesn't really count as it's a live one but also:
Nightwish - Showtime, Storytime

I shall check these out, although I heard a couple of Lumbar tracks the other day and found them a bit..... difficult. I heard a track from the Gloryhammer album too, and although it was (intentionally) funny it might still be a bit too power metal for me!
-
GloryHammer is a joke, a funny one, and it's one I oddly just can't get enough of. It's taking the piss, but so unbelievably catchy. You NEED the extra track Wiiiizards! (casting their magic, over the mountains) if you dip in. You put it on as you're in the mood for something light and you end up listening to it all the way through every time. Genius.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0QxN6Il6q4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0QxN6Il6q4)
Samsara Blues Experiment have done three albums. Long Distance Trip is the first and the best. It's stoner done right with more than a hint of Jim Morrison vocally. The second album was a disappointment. It lacked the epic long trippy tracks and, well, everything that made the first album so good. The third, Waiting for the Flood is a return to form. It's only four tracks, but the shortest is 10:38 ;)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TnNb3cBzuE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TnNb3cBzuE)
Riverside (and Lunatic Soul, the singer's more ambient side project) are a prog metal powerhouse. How they're not known and not spoken about in the same ways as the likes of Porcupine Tree is beyond me. Albums.... Well all of them are brilliant. Shrine is my current favourite, but they've an insanely good back catalogue. Again try and snag the spec ed's of the discs as they tend to come with a lot more good content. Rapid Eye Movement is a lot of bang for buck as a starting point along with Shine of New Generation Slaves.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HWv7YJtYCA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HWv7YJtYCA)
-
Gloryhammer sounds like Nocturnal Rites! :)
And Riverside can do no wrong. They are heavily influenced by mid-era Opeth, imo, but they have a healthy dose of OSI/Kevin Moore era Dream Theater in there as well.
It's criminal to me that bands like Dream Theater (post Moore DT is a yawn-fest) get recognition over the likes of Riverside and Pain Of Salvation.

Born from the ashes of Alestorm no less ;)

Yeah, I saw the cover art of the album, was intrigued and found a review which explained the background story of the band/project.

I didn't buy a lot of music in 2013, and certainly not a lot of new releases.
My favs are few:
Airborne - Black Dog Barking
Amon Amarth - Deceiver of the Gods
Black Dahlia Murder - Everblack
Steven Wilson - The Raven that refused...
I also picked up the last Five Finger Death Punch (Wrong Side of Heaven), and the new Black Spiders (This Savage Land), but haven't really made up my mind yet on those.

I've been listening to Johnny Doom's Metal at Midnight show on Planet Rock (...yes I am an old person....)
He plays some good stuff, but the show annoys me - it's only an hour a week, but without fail two-thirds of the tracks are things he's already played in the previous two or three weeks. The same Amon Amarth track two weeks in a row, the same Grand Magus track three weeks in a row... it just seems extraordinarily lazy.
-
Just been getting into Gov't Mule lately :P
-
This week:
'60s Bob Dylan by way of Jake Bugg.
-
Listening to a load of random stuff on Spotify (finally working thanks to my new PC):
Grand Magus, Blues Pills, Jex Thoth, Slough Feg, YOB, Winery Dogs, Orphaned Land.
-
I really like Grand Magus!
This week I have been listening to the rough of my next 17-minute long prog indulgence, The Eye Of Fire And Fear, Part III . Hope to mix it in the next few days, but gotta find 10 free hours first!
-
It's like he didn't skip a beat since Hearbreak Station; still a killer songwriter and the octave fuzz at the end is brilliant.
Tom Keifer "Solid Ground" Music Video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HJozX2bL8g#ws)
-
I got the Tom Keifer album a couple of months ago. I was a big Cinderella fan, so glad to see something new from him. It's the same kind of rootsy rock they went after on Heartbreak Station, and he's still great at it. I'd have liked a few more of the rockier tunes, but it's his record :)
Seemingly, he had serious issues with his voice in recent years, and he's lucky to be able to sing now at all. You can certainly hear that it's not the voice it was, but it's still good to hear.
-
I know I'm a Philistine, but I never really liked Cinderella after Night Songs and a couple of the rockier tracks on Long Cold Winter.
That more rootsy, bluesy Americana thing doesn't really do it for me.
I will investigate this Tom Keifer solo stuff though, it would be wrong to dismiss it without hearing it!
-
A few different Alcatrazz live recordings with Yngwie.
Such a *hot* band back then for a couple of years. Really good sound, good songs and Yngwie still manages to keep it in check.
-
Yes, Yngwie era Alcatrazz was amazing! I love the proto versions of the songs that would later appear on the first Rising Force album.
I also much prefer his tone from Alcatrazz to Marching Out. It started going off the rails w Trilogy and never quite got back to that standard, though I do like his tone on the orchestral album.
-
I've been having fun exploring the "Related Artists" links in Spotify.
I found some things I'd been considering buying which turned out to be not so great. I found some terrible cack. But last night I was listening to a terrfic Swedish band called Siena Root - very '70s-influenced bluesy, psychedelic, hippy heavy rock.
-
Been listening to Volbeat just about every day for the past year. Incredible at mixing country, rockabilly and metal.
Well worth a listen. Especially Beyond Hell/Above Heaven.
Saw them in Birmingham with Iced Earth supporting. There was a guest appearance from Barney from Napalm Death which was pretty cool.

I´ve been listening to some John Mayer lately. I kinda enjoy the more pop oriented stuff, but mostly I dig his blues work, especially the way he plays solos. There are some lovely singing notes there. The stuff he brings out for "Gravity" is really cool. He can write some pretty great songs too. At his best he brings in a nice combination of blues and pop with good compositional depth I think. Not all great, but I really love a good bit of his work, which is pretty diverse. Not just that "Body is a Wonderland"-tw@t anymore.
"Slow dancing in a burning room" is currently my favorite track to play.
-
Have yet to listen to Mayer.
What album would you recommend ?
-
Have yet to listen to Mayer.
What album would you recommend ?
I only have two studio albums of his to be fair. Both of which are more of the pop stuff. I will however start listening to "Where the Light is - Live from LA" these days. From the youtube videos I have seen of that it might be the best starting point. Full range of styles, more solo indulgence than with the studio work, nicer arrangements, etc.
Starts of with an acoustic part, goes into John Mayer Trio stuff (especially bluesy) and ends with a full band set. I´ll have to see how the thing feels as a whole, but it could very well be the best.
-
Fine.. I'll take the plunge first:
Yngwie Malmsteen "Odyssey"
-
Even though we've lost all the posts since March, I've been listening to the same things for the whole of that period - lots of (melodic) stoner/doom/psychedelic rock. That's all I'm really into at the moment. And in particular, I've been listening to:
Mount Salem - Endless
Love it to bits!
-
Andy Timmons Band - Resolution
In Flames - Come Clarity
Racer X - Technical Difficulties
Trying to use technical difficulties as a song to learn that also serves as a great technique builder
(Far too advanced, but I feel that it can be done eventually)
-
Been enjoying the new Yes single, which is available as a download when you preorder the new album. Their new singer is great, though the single reminds me an AWFUL lot of "Circus Of Heaven"...

The new Mastodon album Once More Round The Sun is brilliant. Cannot wait to go see em live in November. Chimes at Midnight and The Motherload are the stand out tracks for me. The only one I'm not too keen on is the last track, just a bit slow paced.

I've had it a couple of weeks but only now listening to it for the first time. Like all their albums, it'll take a few listens to grow on me but as always there are some great little riffs and melodic moments which really jump out. Excellent band.
-
The new mastodon album is pretty good but I prefer The Hunter and Crack the skye by quite a bit.
Also looking forward to seeing htem live at the end of the year \m/
-
Right now I'm listening to dark psychedelic trance and feel like I should be playing Mortal Kombat or Unreal Tournament
-
I can't get into The Hunter at all bar a few good songs. Crack The Skye is probably one of my favourite metal albums ever though, just so good. I actually think The Hunter is probably their weakest album.

They're a bit too doomy for me.
Certainly entertaining in small doses, but after a short while all that slow, low rumbling makes me feel uncomfortably like I might need the toilet. Definitely wouldn't listen to them on public transport....
-
I have the same problem with Electric Wizard. Love doomy/stonerness. But it's just too doomy and fatiguing.

Likewise. I love the musical genre, but I'm most comfortable with the less intense, more melodic end of the spectrum. Basically I'm a lightweight. :undecided:
-
This is an interesting read http://thequietus.com/articles/14305-electric-wizard-new-album-interview
CONAN are just low and heavy but it has the tempo. So damn groovy, how can you not swing from side to side listening to it?

I like the idea of new Electric Wizard. Just stuck on Doom Mantia, what a tune :D
-
Richard Thompson - Acoustic Classics
Just for a break from the heavier stuff.
I really like Thompson, I think he's unique as a guitarist and songwriter. But I need to be in the right mood to listen to him. That's enough of that for now.
-
Various Buckethead albums.....he is on 98 solo albums after all now! Particularly Claymation courtyard and the elephant mans alarm clock
-
Various Buckethead albums.....he is on 98 solo albums after all now!
Is that true, or just a slight bit of exaggeration for dramatic purposes? :grin:
Whatever the numbers, it sounds like he's made a hell of a lot of albums. I wonder if anyone's actually collected them all?
-
That actually is no exaggeration, he really is such a weird mad man. Here is his wiki discography.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckethead_discography (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckethead_discography) Just reading the first paragraph makes you shake your head. Total solo album play time of 59 1/2 hours....the heck.
To be fair, it really is not all good. I find he can easily drift into mindless metal riffage that goes nowhere, but he also often does very cool and unusal things. Very skilled and versatile player.
Reminds me that I should listen to the Thanatopsis stuff of his again...
-
Thanks and wow, it really is 98 albums! :shocked:
Having made that comment above, I realised I have about 70 Frank Zappa albums (which is nowhere near a complete collection!) and about 60 Wishbone Ash albums. So unless I'm the most obsessive record collector on Earth, I guess there probably are people with the complete Buckethead discography....!
I haven't heard much Buckethead, and I wouldn't know where to start, but what I have heard I quite liked. It wasn't the unlistenable shred I probably was expecting.
-
Just listening to a French band called Granville, I really like em actually. Found them as I was looking for some French music for a promo video at work and I'm hooked on the album now. I think it's the French language/accent.
-
Just downloaded the new Yes album and am about to give it a spin; I preordered it, but was too busy this week to even download the thing!

Not every album is great but then again many are!
Buckethead is so prolific he even got Axl to finally release chinese democracy! I also thought there were some brilliant tracks on the last chinese democracy album. Take it for what it is (Not guns n roses?) and that album has some of the best straight up rock songs in years.
I would go as far as to say he is the strangest character ever in the music scene and I admire how he sticks to his crazy principles.
Buckethead continually refused to join Guns N Roses and only did because Axl bought him a life size exact replica of leather face...well exact except for human flesh I guess. There are many stories in between which are hilarious but the one of why he left is fantastic.
He built a chicken coop in the studio whilst recording the guns n roses album and was already unhappy with how long things were taking. A dog in the studio took a dump in the coop and every one wanted to clean it up. Buckethead said if they cleaned it up he would quit. Some one did clean it up and Buckethead DID quit at that point! Amazing how some one can out crazy Axl Rose really!
I know he auditioned for Ozzy after Zakk Wylde left too and got offered the gig on the condition he didnt wear all of his costume.....he of course refused. I realize Ozzy is a has been at this point but arguably he always has been since Sabbath and his guitarists have carried him....I think Buckethead would have been the best choice and the next in line to assume the throne from Randy, Jake, Zakk etc I see it as a real shame they chose Gus chuffing G instead! I think Buckethead would have upstaged Ozzy though

I think it's a great album, I loved it from the first listen.
That said, I'm not the biggest fan of the earlier GNR albums, although I do like them, and I'm not a big fan of Slash either. So maybe I was more "open" to Chinese Democracy. At the time I was just amazed it finally got released!
-
I like Guns N but for me Axl is the talent that being said theyre a proper example of a band Axl, Izzy, Slash, Duff and Adler were the magic combination and it just worked well together and nothing else will do. Slash was awesome in G n R but in his other projects etc IMO he kinda sucked and he cant carry a band with his guitar work. Probably really controversial to some people who are fans but I think Slash isnt all that on his own. Izzy Stradlin might just be one of the most underrated musicians of all time it all went downhill after he left.
-
Royal Blood, saw em at Reading and was blown away by how huge they sounded for just two people. Any ideas how he gets the guitar sounds from his bass? I guess an octave pedal/splitter into a guitar amp? It sounded awesome however it works!
-
Good question Tom - that's something I was thinking when I was listneing to them earlier (bought the album yesterday). On first listen it's great! I was thinking of some sort of splitter/octave/EQ etc.
-
Think I'll be buying the album as well, loved all the songs they played. I also can't stop listening to QOTSA this week, their set at Reading was incredible, easily one of the best nights of my life. When they opened with ..Millionaire everyone just went nuts haha
-
I saw Queens Of The Stone Age in Belfast last week, they were brilliant there too :) and I've been listening to them a lot since too. That being said, today I've changed my driving CD to Silver Ginger Five.
-
New Opeth album sounds fantastic. At one point I was really into them but then I got bored of their sound and obviously Mikael Akerfeldt did too. For some reason heritage didn't sit well with me but pale communion sounds ace.

That's interesting. I've liked them more as they've become more melodic over the years but I found Heritage quite boring - I was expecting the new one to be more of the same.

Just watched that (not been to Reading since the mid/late 90s). It certainly sounded great! Their new (OK, not that new now) transfers to the stage really well.
-
Some metalcore stuff, Memphis May Fire and Heart of a Coward. Trying to figure out how they get such great tone! Probably Axe FX's and Kemper amp modellers....
-
The mention of QOTSA above reminded me to listen to John Garcia's solo album. It's excellent, much better than I expected.
-
Courtesy of Juan Solo, I've been listening to Clutch (finally!), Earth Rocker. You're a drug dealer Juan! yes, the first hit is free, but then you're hooked, and it's going to cost you :cool:
-
Lots of great Clutch back catalogue for you to investigate now then blue! :grin:
-
I've just amazoned (is that a verb now?) a couple :)
-
Blast Tyrant is still my favourite I think, every song is good.
-
After getting around to finally catch up with Fall Out Boy a bit by listening to Folie a Deux I also have been going around to their older stuff as I love to do in the summer. Still totally love it. Well written, nice variety, catchy, often more complex than you´d expect, etc. Oh, and the lyrics. Amazing.
Lotta people seem to bash them cause they are pop punk or so, but imho they don´t quite compare as they are more on all levels. My 2 cents ;)
Also starting to learn to play their stuff on both guitar and bass this time around, so that teaches me a lotta new stuff.
-
FOB stuff is cool, esp their first 3 albums, good guitar playing though not exactly "technical" its catchy and well written as mentioned. "The Take Over The Break's Over" is a great tune!
-
In Flames - siren charms.
Great album actually
-
New TESLA album is on constant repeat right now. They are BACK! Tracked live, sounds killer, and it just 45 minutes of great 70s influenced melodic hard rock w a sprinkling of metal here and there.
-
Blackberry Smoke
-
The Sword!
-
AC/DC - Rock or Bust
Pretty underwhelming on first listen, and one track in particular ("Rock the Blues Away") is utterly dire. But it'll probably grow on me.
-
Since it is December I am all over Xmas music. From the tastefully done heartwarming yet not boring Sufjan Stevens; to the quirky Bob Dylan; the proggy and cheesy Neal Morse; the really cheesy Lynerd Skynerd; up to the metal Xmas having Alice Cooper singing "Santa Claws".
Xmas music can be horrible, but it can be done so well too, especially if you pick the well written songs and do them properly. Prime example here is to me Sufjan Stevens. Songs like "Sister Winter" are just well crafted in writing and extremly well done in mixing and production.
Then again I just think when it comes to mixing and production Sufjan is one of the greatest minds in a very long time.
-
Been listening to Lukather's Santamental Christmas album this month, so decided to pull Toto IV out, as well.
-
Finally got around to getting Nik Kershaw's To Be Frank, and it's utterly, utterly brilliant.

Steel Panther - All You Can Eat, I'm not entirely convinced

I wan't sure if I liked it at first, but it's a grower.

Hands down my favourite Malmsteen recorded tone.

A few cool CDs thanks to the insane Google Play download deals!
- Holst - The Planets. It's one of those CDs that you recognise almost every movement of. I love the story about Geezer Butler playing Mars at an early Black Sabbath rehearsal, and the next day Iommi returning the Black Sabbath riff!
- Rory Gallagher - Top Priority. Don't have much by him, only Tattoo, which is OK. But I love Top Priority, really good songs, and great playing.
- AC/DC- Back In Black. Enough said.

Mars was one of the most-quoted themes for sci fi and fantasy sound tracks for a while in the 70s and 80s. It's an interesting piece (the entire Planets suite); I view it as very early symphonic prog. :)[/list]

I have been listening to a lot of Kaipa and Magic Pie lately; both are stellar bands.
Kaipa, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHuMHiqmkJ0
Magic Pie, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7X_VBHlnG8
Also, a lot of Jellyfish; this band was just simply amazing! Take the Beach Boys, The Beatles, Queen, and mash em together, and this is what you get! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JojV8kNfWK8
Lastly, been digging on Kings X Dogman again; such a brilliant album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPLSib2GtnU
-
New Blind Guardian! Yeaaaah!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPTz7z04_OM
-
Jellyfish were a pretty cool band, I hadn't listened to them in a long time, but I'll be digging them back out now. Wasn't their bass player or guitarist the singer in Slash's first solo band? I remember thinking that was an odd change
-

Yeah, Eric Dover. I don't think he's actually on the Jellyfish albums though, he was just a touring guitarist or something. Then he was in Imperial Drag which was, sort of, Jellyfish under a different name.
I've got those Slash's Snakepit and Imperial Drag albums and the first Jellyfish album, but I can't say I'm a big fan or any of them. :laugh:
-
A bunch of Matt Monro

You will probably find Spilled Milk to be more enjoyable than Bellybutton when it comes to Jellyfish; Spilled Milk is more Queen influenced and has a (sightly!) harder edged.

Been listening to the new Torche album and some Acid King :evil:
-
Picked up Judas Priest's Rocka Rolla - from a pile of cds left on the street by someone who had moved out. Never been into JP and certainly not the 1980s stuff that they put out when I was young. But I find this a great album.
-
Monolith, by Kansas. For some reason, I never owned this album, so I purchased it yesterday. It's great!!

Currently O.K. Ken? by The Chicken Shack. Stan Webb was one one the great Les Paul slingers of the '60s Blues boom but got over shadowed by the likes of Peter Green and Clapton!

Indeed. I saw them at the Mildenhall Rock and Blues festival in (I think) 1989. Webb had a really old Les Paul and Marshall half stack, and it was insanely good.
Rory Gallagher was headlining that gig. Wish I'd been old enough to appreciate it!

Wow! Must have been a helluva gig. Two of my heroes and I never got to see either. Not too late to see Stan Webb I guess but he only seems to be playing Europe this year.

Hah, hah!!!

Great link! I lived in Suffolk in the '80s but I don't remember the Mildenhall festival, I remember most of the bands though :)
-
For any Chicken Shack fans out there, I just bought The Complete Blue Horizons Sessions album off iTunes. 56 tracks and highly recommended!

Finally got a chance to give my first listen to the new Steven Wilson album "HAND.CANNOT.ERASE.". Felt fitting since I had the time and calm, and am gonna see him live once again on tuesday. So I sat down in the dark with a bottle of 18th Street´s Hunter and put the blu ray 5.1 mix on. Wow. Just wow. The sound is utterly staggering and the music, while again different than his previous work, feels like it somehow raised the bar again. Clean, complex, emotional, etc. The composition and arrangement are just as high level as the mix and sound quality.
Highly recommended.
-
Lots of UFO albums, Schenker and Tonka period.
-
Currently best of Chris Rea - Julia,
but basically, the last week I've been listening almost exclusively to the song Auberge ...

Lots of old vinyl, as I'm digitising some of them - Just upgraded my Linn and I'm realising again how great the sound of vinyl is versus CD
-
I listened to a bunch of Helloween, Gamma Ray and Unisonic the last days
Unisonic I especially like. Its a bit power metal meets AOR.
-
I recently got the new James Taylor album Before This World and being a big JT fan, I rather like it. Like meeting up with an old friend again.
-
just got the new album by God Is An Astronaut. I got it because a friend plays some guest guitar on it, but I'm enjoying it quite a lot. Instrumental stuff, pretty atmospheric.
-
I just realised that I said that I was a JT fan (meaning James Taylor) and that this thread, probably the longest running, was started by forum member JT. It is nice that it has carried on.
On topic I also bought a nice Tommy Emmanuel album the other day- after dithering for ages. It is an old one but new to me. Called "Only" it does have some rather good stuff on it. I also got Mike Casswells "Complaints About the Noise" recently. Mike is an old friend and I am normally not much of a guitar album buyer( notwithstanding the above contradictory factors).
-
Florence and the Machine - I've had all three albums on rotation on my mp3 player ever since the new album came out.
I pre-ordered both "How Big..." and the previous "Ceremonials" without hearing any clips or even worrying what might be on them - very LONG time since I've done that to any act at all. She ain't let me down yet.
-
Been giving the Next to None debut album a spin. It´s the band of the son of former Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy, Max Portnoy. It´s a bit like an updated version of DT with a bit of Slipknot. Cool stuff. You notice in the writing that they are still super young, but on a technical level it´s super impressive. A band to watch for sure I´d say.
-
Dire Straits Live at the BBC and Pink Floyd Pulse on Vinyl - incredible live albums and they really come over well in analog - you can hear the tape splice looping on Mark Knopfler's copycat! Also pulled out some old Barclay James Harvest and early Camel - Andy Latimer is an excellent guitarist.
-
Nightwish, various live shows of theirs.
Really into power metal at the moment.
-
Currently listening to albums by a really cool psychedelic rock/afrobeat mash up band called Goat who are bloody fantastic. Everyone should check them out if you like retro vibed oddness. They have a cool Pagan/Voodoo Ritual/celebration live act that was the highlight of Glastonbury for me this year. So glad I discovered them.
Also I've been listening to The Black Angels, Wooden Shjips (yes that's how it's spelt) and The Warlocks.
-
Ah, when you said Goat, I thought of the british rock band from (i think) the early 90's who released the rather wonderful Medication Time album. Unfortunately not :(
You should check them out, and I should check out this Goat

No Prayer For The Dying - Iron Maiden
Actually, not so bad as I remember it. In fact, I'm finding it pretty invigorating.

It´s not one of the classics but just a lot of fun. Maybe I´m saying it cause it was my first Maiden I bought on sale while on Swedish holiday.
Bring me your daughter still is just good fun to me in some way. A lot of the rest too. Refreshing in the way that you don´t hear em as often as a lot of the Maiden greats.

Florence + The Machine
Just spent an utterly crazy week going to three nights of their four night stand at Alexandra Palace. And, amazingly (to me, anyway), I spent all of them down the front jumping up and down, singing along and generally waving my arms about like the twenty year old I used to be a long time ago... I actually feel 20-30 years younger than I did this time last week (I realised this morning, knackered as I am, I'm without back pain for the first time in 4-5 months).
Anyhoo... I'd been listening a lot to the albums over the last few months, but hadn't really managed to figure out whether I thought much of guitarist Rob Ackroyd. I do now, big time. Obviously, Florence herself is the main focal point (WHAT a voice she has), but the band is stunning, and Rob Ackroyd is spot-on in what he does.

Rammstein

Thats a great song.
I've been listening alot to Walls of Jericho lately.
I find some of that classic Helloween stuff quite drilling, when its too fast and overly uplifting. But overall, I think its great.
For example - Eagle Fly Free.. Absolutely amazing introduction, one of my favourites in metal. But then I find the rest of the song a bit difficult to take, particularly the chorus. Or maybe I'm just not power metal enough ;)

cool violin riff. i hadn't heard that song from them.

Yep, it sounds like what it is: a metal superstar studio project. It's a little hit or miss but overall I really enjoy Avantasiia -- way more than other power metal bands like Rhapsody...

Well, it looks like we've all stopped listening to music this year!
For the last week, I've been listening to Budgie. I got a little box set that had their three MCA albums, Never Turn Your Back On a Friend, In For The Kill, and Bandolier in it. There are some great songs in there, although a bit of filler too. I think In For The Kill probably has the best songs, but the mix is a bit dodgy. Bandolier sounds much better, but the songs aren't quite as good. In my opinion, of course :) Just like Diamondhead, they're a band I discovered through Metallica's covers of Breadfan and Crash Course In Brain Surgery.
This morning, I switched to Clutch, with Earth Rocker. Loud and aggressive. This is good

The newly remixed version of Ginger Wildheart's Yoni album.
I've always loved the original album, but it's fair to say it's quite shrill sounding, the high end is filling rattling! So it was quite fatigueing to listen to. The new mix is much beefier, and therefore easier to listen to. I do feel, however, that in making the change the album has lost some of it's individuality. The chunkier guitars are somewhat more generic sounding compared to the percussive, jangly originals. Still, I'll keep listening. After a few more listens, and then going back to the first mix to compare, I might have a different opinion. whichever version, it's still a great album
-
Took delivery of a whole bunch of The Sensational Alex Harvey Band today - been meaning to buy them on CD for possibly nearly 20 years but never got round to it (I used to have a vinyl best of back in the 80s)

I got Hardwired... To Self Destruct.
It's actually pretty good, although every intro seems to have the same "bang bang bang!" snare pattern before the riffs come in, and it has more autopilot Hammet solos. I like Kirk, but he hasn't played anything interesting in twenty odd years. I'd love to hear what Metallica would be like with James Hetfield, Rob Trujillo and a really good drummer and lead guitarist. All that being said, this album sounds great, much much better than the last two, and the songs seem pretty good, although I've only listened through twice.
At least they're still making new music, points for effort ;)
-
As a result of treble booster love I'm listening to:
John Mayall - Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton
The "Beano" album :afro:
-
The Trees - Garden of Jane Delawney & On The Shore. English folk/rock band from the early 70's. The singer sounds a lot like Sandy Denny and the songs are good. I missed them back then, but heard a track at a music store and ended up getting the CD's. I'm also going through some old vinyl and was listening to Home, all of their earlier albums and some early Camel. They are great albums, both having excellent guitar players (Laurie Wisefield and Andy Latimer).

Kate Bush - Before The Dawn

Hey Andy! Remember you posting about Ian Siegal - Falling on Down... That became one of my favorite soungs ever! Thank you!

Hey Fernando! Good to hear from you. He still plays it now.

Funnily enough, so have I!
I got the little box set of "The Complete Albums 1979-1988" the other week. The second album, Wheels of Steel, is still my favourite - I bought it when it came out, saw them with Tygers of Pan Tang as support the night before my A-Levels, etc, etc...
Saw them at least once more but I kinda switched off of "metal" altogether (apart from "THE MIGHTY PRIEST" :evil: :grin: :grin:) by the time Denim and Leather came out. I'm really enjoying all of it (Mrs R less so, but she can hear the attraction of Wheels of Steel).

I listened to much of their back catalogue yesterday after Denim'n'Leather in fact.
I agree that Wheels of Steel is probably their best. I put Demin'n'Leather as 2nd best. The big surprise for me was Power and The Glory. Popular opinion seems to be that this is a cr@ppy album, so I hadn't bothered to listen to it before. But I finally tried it and thought it was really good. I also thought the first album was alright, a bit psychedelic. I've never been keen on Strong Arm Of The Law as an album, too much filler for me.
After Power And The Glory I found their stuff a little light. In the past have I listened to quite a bit of post-Graham Oliver stuff and it seemed to improve again, but not like the classic NWOBHM period.
-
Yep, Power and The Glory through to Destiny were completely new to me, so it's all still growing on me.
I've been surprised by Strong Arm - I think it must have been that one that I started losing interest in Saxon with... but I've enjoyed it the most after Wheels so far... Denim and Leather has it's high points but at the moment it's still a grower.
Might give it another go on the way home...
EXCEPT, I'm the middle of listening to the Michael Schenker UFO albums on the commute... got those a year or two ago and - this is the trouble with getting "classic album" sets, several albums at once - I enjoyed it all, but it was "workmanlike" stuff, nothing too special apart from the songs I knew from Strangers... not likely to listen to these studio ones too often... but now I've given them more of a go, I'm LOVING them... WHAT A BAND they were, and they p1ssed it all away with drunken laddishness... so sad... they should have been one of the BIG names.
-
Latest musical gorging has been on various Electro acts from 1980-1983. Stand outs thus far is the Vince Clark Depeche Mode album, Yazoo, New Order, the New Romantics, and Tears For Fears.
-
I've always though of UFO as a pub rock band, but a really really good one.
Scouting for Schenker nuggets, I've listened to alot of the UFO albums. They are good stuff.
-
Allman Brothers, Live at the Fillmore East.
I'm always listening to it ...
... but today more so.
Duane and Gregg back together again.
RIP Gregg :-(

Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - 50th Anniversary Remix
OH MY GOODNESS :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:
We took delivery of the 50th Anniversary Stereo remix by Giles Martin yesterday. It's AMAZING. I LOVE IT.
If, like me, you like the Beatles, but had always thought Sgt Pepper was pretty meh as an album - clever, yes, milestone, yes, etc etc ... but utterly boring and wimpy as hell - then you owe it to yourself to give this remix a little go...
Sgt Pepper is now a rock album!
I actually can't wait to get home to listen to it again now... I've never felt like that over this album (I've owned the 1987 CD of the 1967 stereo mix since the early 90s, I've listened to it 2 or 3 times tops, compared to 100s for Revolver etc)
Warning, though, if you have fragile ear-drums(!) - the internet audiophile opinion seems split, with many up in arms saying "my ears bleed! It's too loud... I HATE it". Yes, all the instruments are compressed in the mix (like what the beatles used to do anyway!! DUH!) - everything louder than everything else (and sounds SO good for it in my opinion) - and the CD version has some extra limiting on it, allegedly, to make it louder...
-
I just ordered the Sgt Pepper Special Edition yesterday, so this has me more interested than I already was :)
I would love to have gotten the DVD-Audio/Blu-Ray version, but it's near £200!!!

Classic album!
I have been listening to two recently-discovered bands, Puppet Show and Crucible. Very mid-90s neo-prog.

I don't know much about Ghost, but I saw the video for Rats. Some funky moves in there! :)

Yes, those funky moves were quite a surprise!
I think Ghost have some great songs. I won't stand by everything they do, but I like them alot.
In particular, the first album is the best, much less commercial.
