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.

if i need a place to do some laying low, i could RUN DOWN TO MEXICOOOOO!!

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.

just been listening to Iced Earth's Overture of the Wicked E.P., some guy called Tim on lead guitar. he seems quite good :wink:

-
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:
-
ZZ top now thats a classic....am listening to Warren zevon The Wind...and compilation of his songs after his death called Enjoy Every Sandwich

Best of Richard Thompson (the 3CD set)

Best of Richard Thompson (the 3CD set)
:D That's a great compilation (although I'm not familiar with enough of his material to know if all the best stuff is on there)!
-
Iced Earth - The Crucible of Man
And nothing else since I got it.
-
Peter Tosh and Mick Jagger.... Just put it on, had Mogwai on a minute ago.

Black Tide

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!!
-
Black Tide
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
lmao, classic.

I didnt know what it was so I youtubed it.. holy shite it is $%&#ing awful :lol: I just hope gwEm isnt serious but I fear he is :o
-
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 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)
-
The Game

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...

German power metal today:
Helloween, Gambling With The Devil
Gamma Ray, Majestic

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.

I'm currently addicted to Scheepers era Gamma Ray stuff, it's highly underrated.

Indeed I do have Alice. Bought it on the day of release with Blood Money.

Edit - not literally with blood money.

^ :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!
-
Still into Zappa. Can't seem to shake him off at the moment.
-
Michael Jackson - Thriller
Michael Jackson - Bad

Dirk Gentlys Holistic Detective Agency : BBC (feat Harry Enfield)
Hurrah for audio books they make traffic jams almost tolerable
-
The wife moaning at me from the kitchen because I "used a good bowl to put a drink for the cat in"........ Who the hell cares, tell me that.
Other than that, The Moldy Peaches again, don;t seem to be able to get some of the songs out of my head.
-
Dirk Gentlys Holistic Detective Agency : BBC (feat Harry Enfield)
I'm fairly sure I've read that. Is it Douglas Adams?

Yeah it is, funny enough I have an autographed version of the book (which the wife managed to cover with sun tan lotion, the blue stuff for kids)

The Cure - Greatest Hits

Camel - Andrew Latimer is a brilliant musician.
I hope he is doing better, as he had a bone marrow transplant not too long ago.

A brilliant and under-rated book, like the sequel, "The Long, Dark Tea-Time Of The Soul"...
Adams dying was a terribly loss. He was such a witty writer.
-
Yeah both great books..and under-rated...listening to John Mellencamp life, death, Love and freedom...reading tom holt and the new TPratchett
-
A couple of random, half-forgotten selections from the vault:
Sponge - Wax Ecstatic (this is seriously good! :) )
Primus - Sailing the Seas of Cheese

Just had a pleasent drive to Norwich listening to the Pogues greatest hits.
Cracking.
Actually, I think I might have posted the Pogues before...
This thread is getting way too long.

I've probably posted the same things several times! But don't forget this is also the JT tribute thread.
Anyway, tonight I'm listening to I Am I by Nuclear Valdez.
-
I am listening to Black Stone Cherry - Folklore and Superstition. Hope it grows on me as much as their debut album as it's doing nothing for me so far!

Ahhh.... must have missed that bit.
In that case, here's to The Pogues, Tin Machine, and the memory of JT!

I think of JT whenever I post on this thread I still have his PMs-anyways: listening to Pink Floyd tonight.

Wasn't crazy about the soundtrack - a bit too "sensitive American college geek" for me - but I absolutely loved the film anyway.

Though TO, whilst I insult your taste in music, I'll ask a favour quick rather than starting a thread. I'm looking for a vinyl set up, from scratch, so absolutely everything, not outrageously expensive but something that's worthy of bothering to get my favourite albums on vinyl. Any particular brands to look at? You seem to be the man in the know.
