Avenged Sevenfold-Clairvoyant disease
Arch Enemy - Silent Wars.
Another great song of their latest album.
Quote:
This is killing us
Fighting the truth a losing battle
We believe in nothing
Just hatred for each other
Tragic sinister serenade
Twisted melody shatters reality
Dying hopes for a better day
Fragile dreams that break away
No more No more This pain must end
We have chosen to suffer
Believe in nothing but
Hatred is a vicious circle
Betrayal is at hand
Paralysed souls bleeding
Begging for salvation
Deeper and deeper the wounds we cut
The truth burning our flesh
Silent war to set us free
Stigmata of a tragedy
No more No more this pain must end
We have chosen to suffer
Feeling nothing - But hate
It's eating us up from the inside
Taking our feelings away
Starsailor - Fidelity
Good band!Quote:

Derek and the Dominos-"Why Does Love Got to be So Sad?"
Awesome song. ~D
After listening to the Grateful Dead live from Europe '72 (which One More Saturday Night was on), I'm listening to the Rolling Stones' Exile on Main St. What an awesome album.
Right now on Casino Boogie.
It's a great album generally. If I ever get gripped by unrequited love, I hope I can parlay it into such a fantastic body of work.Quote:
Awesome song. ~D
Yeah. When my Dad when to see the Allman Brothers again three days after me and the rest of my family went, they played Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad?, followed by Franklin's Tower. Which is really amazing, consedering when we saw them, even though they played 3 hours, they only got in a few of their old stuff, mainly because there is just so much.
You saw the Allman Brothers? You jammy git! ~D
RIP Duane... :guitarist:

The Killers, Somebody Told Me.
From the Band's Last Waltz, Helpless with Neil Young.
Any one else like the Band here? There awesome, but today, not many people know of them. They started playing way back in the late 50's, but then became Bob Dylan's backing band on his first electric tour, before recording there own stuff.
The Last Waltz was their last concert, there's a movie and a CD of it, and they invited a whole bunch of their friends to come and play. It's really good...
that you had a girlfriend who looked like a boyfriend... ~;)Quote:

I'd love to have been at the concert where Bob went electric for the first time. Just to see the look on the crowds faces. There was quite a kerfuffle, I believe.Quote:

Now that's rock and roll.
AC/DC - You Shook Me All Night Long class track, never get bored of this one :guitarist:
Hey Steppe, you're a Stones fan? Awesome. I've just got Sticky Fingers and Beggars' Banquet a few weeks ago, and love them both to death. When I go over the way to Liverpool on Friday, I'm planning on getting two or three albums - one will definately be Led Zep III (I have I, II, and IV), but in your opinion, what should the other be, Let it Bleed or Exile on Main Street? I've heard they're both great albums and they're both if I recall from that magical '68 - '72 period where Mick and Keith were on fire with the songwriting. Plus they both (again, if I recall) have one of my top guitar partnerships ever, Mr. Mick Taylor on lead and Mr. Keith "Best Rythmn Guitarist Ever" Richards.Quote:

I'd get Let it Bleed for two reasons-
1. Gimme Shelter
2.You can't always get what you want.
That's just me though. Exile on Main Street is a lot bluesier, and I like that album too.
Jumpin' Jack Flash was only released as a single. It was recorded during the Beggar's Banquet sessions, but kept off the album.
Oh, and another thing. I'm probably teaching my Grandmother to suck eggs here, but Led Zep III is pretty folksy. Not that it's not a fantastic album-Bron-Y-Aur Stomp is one of my favourite Zeppelin songs-but you should be aware it's not all hard rock, like Led Zep II. Apart from the immigrant song, which rocks harder than almost everything. ~D
BKS, I have the Early Days and Latter Days boxset as well, so I can agree with you on Immigrant Song.
All together now!
We come from the land of the ice and snow... ~D
Yeah, I know it's quite folksy, but that's cool. I have the LZIII T-shirt because the other Zep T-shirts the jeans shop (the only place on the island you can get cheap Levi's and old band shirts) was selling were rubbish (I'd wanted the Swan Song '77 US tour one but they didn't have it), but I feel like a bit of a fraud wearing the damn thing! Gah, there's also a vinyl of Physical Graffitti in the house, along with loads of old Genesis, Slade, Hendrix, Springsteen et cetera, but we have no vinyl player!
You think Let it Bleed? I love Can't Always Get What You Want. That said, it's the time of year where I have money to spend, so I may get both.
Just finished "Worlds Apart" by Saga, now listening to "Heads or Tales," by the same.
***
I still have my black and white Led Zep/Swan Song t-shirt from the late 70s. It's severely tattered, but still wearable (only a few more wears left though I think :embarassed: ). Now I'll only where it to hard rock concerts--it tends to get worshipped, (as it should!).
Wha?! Vinyl is the only way to listen to music, my man! I pretty much live off my dad's record collectionQuote:

right now, YES RIGHT NOW i'm listening to Outakst - The Way You Move
Manuel de Zumaya - Albricias Mortales y Angelicas Milicias (18th Century Baroque from New Spain)
Tongues of fire on Idris flaring,
news of foe-men near declaring,
to heroic deeds of daring,
call you Harlech men
Groans of wounded peasants drying,
wails of wives and children flying,
for the distant succour crying,
call you Harlech men.
Shall the voice of wailing,
now be unavailing,
You to rouse who never yet
in battles hour were failing,
His our answer crowds down pouring
swift as winter torrents roaring,
Not in vain the voice imploring,
call on Harlech men
Loud the martial pipes are sounding
every manly heart is bounding
As our trusted chief surrounding,
march we Harlech men.
Short the sleep the foe is taking,
ere the morrows morn is breaking,
They shall have a rude awakening,
roused by Harlech men.
Mothers cease your weeping,
calm may be your sleeping,
you and yours in safety now
the Harlech men are keeping,
ere the sun is high in heaven
they you fear by panic riven
shall like frightened sheep be driven,
far by Harlech men.
London Calling-The Calling
Visions of Johana - Bob Dylan. Blonde on Blonde is an insane album, IMHO.
A run of Jean-Michel Jarre: Oxygene, Magnetic Fields, Zoolook.

Rock'n'Roll - Motorhead
I'm listening to it right now, though I haven't been listening to it for some 8-10 years.
Where's the tusked wolf smilie?
Antony and the Johnson,

Tesla- Psychotic supper cd - When I first started typing, the song playing was, Call it what you want, now though, Song & emotion has just started. I love this album, although it's another one I haven't played in a year or more.
LOL ... Tesla! Frankie Hannon (lead guitar), Brian Wheat (bass) and I all went to high school together (Hiram Johnson High, Sacramento). Used to get stoned with them all the time during class out on Redding Avenue. When they were called Earthshaker (before they hit it big) we often played on the same bill at the Oasis Ballroom, (which no longer exists unfortunately). I'm a couple of years older than Frank, and back in the day a garage band of mine considered auditioning him (he was 15 at the time). But you know how it is: such a HUGE different in age between 15 and 17, he looked like a grinning cherub. It was ruled that he was too young, and we looked elsewhere. BIG mistake!
Heh ... fun memories.
Bobby Brown - My Prerogative. Gotta love this guy's attitude.
We will rock you-Queen
Nick Cave & the bad seeds, b-sides and rarities, 3rd cd

He-he-he, what a great album! I remember playing my tape of that album again and again when it came out. ~:) "What You Give" and "Call It What You Want", I remember those songs!Quote:

From the album insert:
"There's no such thing as alternative hiphop because the only known alternative to hiphop is dead silence.
The grim little sister in the black raincoat stepped up to the mic and said, "I WANT YOU ALL TO REPEAT AFTER ME! THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS ALTERNATIVE HIPHOP. THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS ALTERNATIVE HIPHOP!"
Hiphop is the black aesthetic by-product of the American dream machine, our culture of consumption, commodification, and subliminal seduction ... where George Clinton was out to warn us about Madison Ave. urge overkill, the pimping of the pleasure principle ...
Hiphop is the first Black musical movement in history that black people pimped before the white boys got to it.
Hiphop converted raw soul into a fetishized commodity.
Hiphop has no morales, no conscience, and no ecological concern for the scavenged earth or the scavenged American minds wrecked in its pursuit of new markets.
Unlike Sigourney Weaver's nemesis Alien, hiphop is not the other man's rape fantasy of the black sex machine gone berserk.
Hiphop is James Brown's pelvis digitally grinded into technomorphine.
Hiphop is the DOPE-KNOW-LOGY, THE ONLY KNOWN ANTIDOTE FOR PRIME TIME SENSORY DEPRIVATION."
- Greg Tate, 1993.

Luv that song ~:). Gotta be my favorite rendition of a simple major scale in rock music ... wait, that's in BICYCLE. Oh well, I always listen to those two songs together.
In between the (excellent) Shogun clips as I write my little story for the Sword Dojo, I'm listening to Patrick O'Hearn - Ancient Dreams, his debute album, and Between Two Worlds, his second. I was flabbergasted when this awesome bassplayer, formerly with Zappa and Missing Persons, went solo and focused on digital keyboards and percussion in addition to bass. His new age flavor is probably my favorite--thoughtful, haunting, atmospheric, and very very deep. He has since released a number of excellent albums. I highly recommend him to those who enjoy New Age stuff.
One of my favorite sounds on this album (I'm a keyboardist and sound programmer so odd sounds catch my attention) is a digital sample of him striking the door of his washing machine with a mallet. Drenched in reverb, it makes a timpani sound like a bongo. Cool stuff.
