This board needs a kick in the ass. Just post random songs and music videos you like and discuss. We can find music we have in common and discover new music as well. I'll start with "Time Stand Still" from Rush. I think this one gets under the skin of some Rush purists, being from their more electronic 80's phase (1987's HOLD YOUR FIRE, to be exact), but I've always found this to be a beautiful song. Love Geddy's vocals and bass in this one.
OK, your turn.

Being a fanatic of Rush, I enjoy the 80s period more than anything, so no problem with HYF, or anything else...
Anyway, some of my favorites--aside from the Led...

I was in middle school when STP came out. I always thought of them as second tier grunge even at the time, but to their credit, they stuck around for a while. Their music, if released today, would be the best thing the mainstream has to offer. That video you posted is pretty good.
AC/DC you can never go wrong. I prefer Bon Scott era, though all AC/DC has it's good points. "Who Made Who" is a great track.
"No More Tears" is the first Ozzy song I ever was aware of when it was newly released. I was culturally aware of Ozzy before that song in the 80's, but only as the guy who bit the head off bats. Oz is in the hospital as I type this, hope he pulls through. It's a miracle he's around at 70. Of course I'm a huge fan.

I like this idea. Leaning a bit more into '90s alternative with my first three picks:
Starting off with a pair of songs from two modern power-pop masters...
...and, on a more mellow note, one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands...

I was in high school and college in the 90's and the whole alternative thing passed me by. I just wanted guitar solos and fire in the instruments, but I have to say as I've gotten older I'm kinder to 90's rock. I enjoyed those videos you posted.
I was a nerd in the 90's who listened to 60's - 80's music, lots of metal. Metal was completely out of fashion then, it's funny how it has more of a following today than the 90's. Anyway, back in the 90's, I was going back to the 80's listening to stuff like this. Iron Maiden's "Wasted Years" is a brilliant song both lyrically and musically, one of those bits where I can't understand a fellow human being disliking it. Enjoy.
-
....and Green Canaries, here's the original power pop band, from the 60's, doing a song in the 90's.
I am usually more a music guy than lyrics, but Ray Davies is one of the few lyricists I love.

If there's a technical difference--and I'm sure there is :laugh:--I'm more into "Hard Rock" than Metal, but recently I've been into a lot of Dio and a few random samples of stuff like Maiden. Dio is really fucking groovy...
Anyway, here's some Led, from a period when heroin was supposedly destroying Jimmy and the band; still great shows to my ears...

I've almost given up telling the difference between hard rock and heavy metal. These days, by some people's standards, I almost am hard rock more than metal. When I started liking what was known as metal in the late 80's, I had some magazine, can't remember if it was Hit Parader, Circus....whatever, that had the top 100 most important metal performers of all time. 1 was Robert Plant and 2 Steven Tyler. They wouldn't register as metal to anybody under 40 these days. Zeppelin used to be metal, now Black Sabbath is considered the first metal band - however...,,I've heard podcasts where even Sabbath is questioned and whispers are out that Judas Priest is the first true metal band. I give up and try not to get wrapped up in labels like I used to. It's all just music, good or bad.
That Zeppelin video is good. I have the DVD set that has the Knebworth 1979 footage, Jimmy Page looks puffy. Still, the band rocks, but Plant maybe a tad more so at this point, he was peaking by the time Zeppelin ended, which carried over into his early solo career.
-
See the bass I'm playing in my profile pic? The same bass is being played by Robert Trujillo in this video. I don't mean just the same model bass, I mean the same actual bass. ;D
-
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a huge Elton John fan. Unfortunately, he didn’t do a whole lot of music videos during his best period from 1970-1976 (probably the most notable is the hilariously awkward video for “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart”).
Here’s one I’ve always thought was underrated: “Ego,” released in 1978. It was supposed to be Elton’s comeback single, but unfortunately only reached #34 on both the U.S. and U.K. charts.
-
...And while we’re on the subject of bassists, Elton’s early live shows are really interesting to watch, since it initially consisted of him, Nigel Olsson, and Dee Murray, so Dee’s bass parts obviously tended to stand out more. If you’re willing to spend 10 minutes on an Elton song, here’s a really good performance of “Madman Across the Water” by the trio:
Also, so I can say I didn’t just post Elton music in this thread, here’s one of my favorite Queen songs:

Dee Murray was a fantastic melodic pop bassist who died way too young and yes you can hear him better in that vid you posted. I've tried learning "I've Seen That Movie Too" and there are subtleties in the bass I can't catch because of the orchestration. I wish some isolated bass tracks for Dee Murray would show up on YouTube.
Some Elton John links to hard rock and metal below.
Elton John performing with Saxon.....talk about an unlikely mix, but yes, Elton is on piano in this song. From Saxon's 1986 ROCK THE NATIONS album.
-
-
Hell yes, now we're talking! Ronnie James Dio is fantastic, but Ritchie Blackmore is unreal here. He's my all-time favorite guitar player, and when you pair "Stargazer" with "A Light In the Black" you get one of the greatest sides of vinyl ever. Between these two songs, you get Blackmore's guitar playing at its peak, and Tony Carey's synth solo in the latter is also impressive. Mind blowing stuff that makes this world a better place.

"Kashmir" is excellent and PHYSICAL GRAFITTI is probably my favorite Zeppelin album. However my favorite Zeppelin song is....
-
Love Achilles, but sometimes I find it hard to be "objective" about Zeppelin or their albums, since I love pretty much anything they recorded in the studio--even something considered a "throwaway track" like Hats off To Roy Harper...
Usually, I enjoy Achillles better live, but the fadeout on the "Presence" album into that killer bass from For Your Life is tough to beat...

I like just about everything Zeppelin has done too, even PRESENCE and IN THROUGH THE OUTDOOR (I also dig the last 2 70's Sabbath albums with Ozzy everybody seems to rag on). Since I like just about everything, I will tell you the one song I dislike - D'yer Mak'er.
I admit I can tolerate the song more than I used to, but it's still not a favorite. I just never could get into reggae, in general, the beat is too comatose for my brain. Even when the Stones tried it on BLACK 'N BLUE, just.....no. Also, I hate the smug way the band knocks Americans for pronouncing it like it's spelled and not calling it "Jamaica." Like they're in some special club and us peasants don't know any better. Well, like with Chico Marx, the secret password is swordfish....or is that mud shark? [pie]
Anyway, love Zeppelin, just not that one song. I'm glad they called it quits when they did too. Actually Diesel, between them and Rush, your two bands, they went out with dignity more than any other band I can think of. KISS and Ozzy they ain't.
-
Scorpions were best with Uli Roth on guitar. The guitar solo towards the end of this song gives me chills.
-
Here's a song called "Singularity" by Darlingside - their harmonies remind of me something like a modern day Crosby Stills and Nash. And look out for that violin solo!

Great song from 1965, Jackson C. Frank's Blues Run the Game:

Cool rhythm section stuff. I always want to pick up my bass when I watch Geddy.

Falsetto singing theatrical horror metal is admittedly a taste not everyone has, but I love King Diamond. This is from his SONGS FOR THE DEAD DVD and I post this for one reason, I was in the audience.

Going to see Rocketman tomorrow, so I figure now is as good a time as any to share what I consider to be another underrated Elton John song. This is “Billy Bones and the White Bird” from Rock of the Westies. A different sound for Elton (this was shortly after he dropped Nigel Olsson and Dee Murray from the band), but one that’s still effective anyway. Love the heavy reliance on guitar, Roger Pope’s pounding drums to the Bo Biddley beat, and Elton and Kiki Dee harmonizing extremely well on the “check it out!” parts.

I saw ROCKETMAN. I’m no Elton expert so I won’t catch historical inaccuracies the way a bigger fan like you may, but I enjoyed the film overall because it was an interesting story. My only complaint is the sex and drugs outweighed the rock n roll. While some of the music creation was mentioned, mostly the partnership with Bernie Taupin, it didn’t quite have the balance BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY did. Still, I enjoyed the film overall.
-
Just saw it today. Overall, I really liked it. As should be expected with any biopic, there were inaccuracies, but it did hit the key points correctly (the suicide attempt before the Dodger Stadium show, for example, actually did happen).
I do agree that there could have been a little more focus on the rock and roll aspect (my main complaint was how they tossed aside his band as nothing more than a last minute arrangement). BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY did do this better, though as I understand it did shy away from some of the more dark aspects of Mercury’s life (I’m not as big of a Queen fan so I’m not quite as sure as to the accuracy of that).

My 11 year old nephew is visiting for the summer. Here’s one of the scene nags he sings.

Not quite as epic as “I Poop” but it will do. [pie]
I haven’t listened to THE LAST IN LINE album in a while. Good reminder I’m overdue.
-
Seems like the keys or overall vibe of that song is the same as Rainbow in the Dark, or maybe I'm hearing shit; like AC/DC makes the same album 28 times...
>:D

No, you’re 100% correct. “Mystery” is absolutely another stab at “Rainbow in the Dark.” Dio is not as repetitive as AC/DC later became, but not one to shy from repeating. I also think “Man on the Silver Mountain” is Blackmore’s stab at writing another “Smoke On the Water.” Both have big opening riffs, the rhythm section kicks in at the same time, and the verses have a similar arrangement.
Ironically, mid 80’s AC/DC drummer Simon Wright later on joined Dio.

A young, vulgar, and pissed off Metallica with my avatar, the late, great Cliff Burton on bass.

Was just watching Scott Weiland’s last interview - a day or two before he died, the other day. How tragic.
-
Rob Halford’s singing is beautiful in this song, a cover of Joan Baez’s “Diamonds and Rust.” Much mellower than my last batch of videos. From the ANGEL OF RETRIBUTION tour, a tour I saw, if not the exact same show as this video.
Throw in some acoustic Jethro Tull as well. Another band I’m very fond of.

We have a video by a band named “The Butthole Surfers” followed by a song called “Got You By The Balls.” Love it.
To keep things classy, here’s a real ugly bastard who look like me a few days ago playing to song called, “A Lesson in Violence.” The Shakespearean Sonnet, “I love to stab my victims ‘til they’re dead. A knife to the throat, a smashing blow to the head,” can be found here.

Metal, just out of curiosity, is that a Fender Jazz or Schecter bass you use?

Neither. It’s a Yamaha.

Here’s one I just recently found out about. The group here is called The Dirty Mac and consists of: John Lennon, Eric Clapton (who also played on the studio recording of While My Guitar Gently Weeps), Keith Richards, and Mitch Mitchell from The Jimi Hendrix Experience. This was done for a TV special in the late 1960s called The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus.

That’s really good, and what a line up! I don’t think I ever saw that Rock and Roll Circus special in its entirety. I really should check it out.

Geddy is amazing. He uses his fingers like a pick in parts and also incorporates his thumb on lower strings, a very unique technique. Actually, if you watch my bass video above in this thread, you’ll notice I’m using one finger like a pick. Totally inspired by Geddy, helped me improve playing faster thrash stuff. I love Alex Lifeson’s guitar tone in that video as well.

I like his late era bass sound a lot, though it is different to the earlier, deep blues low end of the earlier albums. Think he plays an 8 string on “Achilles Last Stand,” and I love the sound and playing there.

I saw Motörhead headline the second stage at Ozzfest ‘98 and it was easily one of my greatest concert experiences. Lemmy was one of a kind. I saw DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION 2 for the first time in over twenty years a couple of weeks ago. Just about everybody in that documentary screamed 80’s in some manner whether it be look or posture or dialogue. Lemmy was real and was the same guy no matter the decade. May he Rest In Peace.

Diesel, you’ll appreciate this - isolated Geddy Lee bass track for YYZ. Extremely difficult to play.
Bob Dylan doing “In My Time of Dying” on his first album. I heard the first Dylan album, which this is from, years after I heard the Zeppelin version. Needless to say, I was surprised.

Yes, the Geddy is always great & appreciated....

Such a beautiful song from one of my favorite bands.
-
Don't know if I posted something from Floyd--usually i only care about DSOTM through the Wall & maybe a few tracks from The Final Cut. At any rate;
-
Great album, great song, Shemp_D. -- though my favorite ANIMALS track is probably "Dogs" (all 17 minutes of it!).
'70s Floyd is my favorite Floyd era as well, though I'd extend my definition back a little to include MEDDLE (probably my favorite Floyd album if I had to pick just one -- thankfully, I don't have to, heh) and OBSCURED BY CLOUDS.
-
I have a strange relationship with Pink Floyd. Most people consider them the ultimate album band, but outside of DSOTM, I never got into their albums. I do like a lot of individual songs, though.
As far as 70’s prog, I prefer Yes and Jethro Tull.

I read Ginger Baker just showed up unannounced to a rehearsal that Winwood and Clapton had. Baker was a character.
I remember Steve Winwood when he had poppier hits in the 80’s. Not old enough to have contemporary memories of him in Blind Faith, though.

Perhaps the cheesiest rock video ever made. I remember, at about age six or seven when the song was new, seeing this video on a TV at the mall while shopping with my Mom and grandmother. The guys banging their head against the wall made me laugh even then. I remembered the video but didn’t realize it was for “Balls to the Wall” until I found it on YouTube a few years back. The song I knew since I was a teen, just never knew it was linked to that video I saw that night.
Cheesy video aside, song kicks ass.

From the same Willbury era, I remember this video when it was new on MTV and was aware of it before I knew all but maybe one or two Beatle songs. That really dates me. I was 8 years old when this came out - a few months younger than George’s son Dhani, as a matter of fact. My Mom, on the other hand, was at the concert below. Saw them at Shea Stadium in both 1965 and 1966 but being a very conservative person, they got too “weird” during Sgt. Pepper for her.

Are you into Bon Scott AC/DC?
Yes, Highway to Hell being my favorite from the Bon era. I know many say Powerage is Bon's best & I wouldn't disagree. I guess I would say I'm slightly more of a Brian guy because that River Plate show is where I really dove in on AC/DC as a live act.
-
-
-
-
I think I mentioned this earlier, but I was aware of CLOUD NINE era George before I was most Beatles stuff due to my age and MTV. I am the same age as George’s son, Dhani.
Since then, I’ve become one of the biggest Beatles fans you’ll ever meet. Actually will be reviewing A HARD DAY’S NIGHT soon.

The last three studio albums they did with Bon, plus the live one, are all classics. Hard for me to choose, as I like them all for different reasons.
I regret never seeing AC/DC live. If I knew Malcolm was going to pass on, I would’ve gotten tickets for THE BLACK ICE tour.

The first four Metallica albums might be my favorite albums of all time. ST. ANGER as an album is their weakest one. The songs can use editing and the snare drum sound is too harsh. The song itself has its moments.
Musically, Chris Jericho likes The Beatles, KISS, Iron Maiden and Metallica. My nerdom is in synch with his.

Ray Davies, my favorite lyricist.

When the post grunge bands like Live, Creed, Matchbox 20, Hootie and the Blowfish, Dave Matthews Band and others from that era, became popular, I tuned out. I think I was one of the few American teens in the nineties discovering Judas Priest and Iron Maiden - which ironically are more popular today than the 90’s.
That said, stuff like Live, compared to the auto tuned, processed garbage that passes as mainstream music today, may as well be Sgt. Pepper.
-
A 90’s band I liked, John Lennon and Ray Davies had a talented love child. Heck, The Kinks comparison extends to the brothers always fighting!

Great song and I love the SYNCHRONICITY album, my favorite from The Police. Beyond that, I find The Police to be a great singles band and I don’t care for Sting solo.

I wholeheartedly agree. Sting solo is rather pretentious. Try sitting through his dreadful 1985 concert documentary "Bring On the Night."

If we’re going with wrestling, some Freebirds for ya. Classic cheese entertainment and ahead of its time for music and video in wrestling. That awkward phase when Skynyrd was dead and Southern rock met the 80’s. I do dig the riff here.
...and this one is better. The Wrestling Album is the first record I ever had in my life.

One of the first music videos I remember seeing in the summer of 1983.

Don’t know if anyone’s really into video game music, but I just found out about this band that does really awesome covers of video game music from the 80s. Here’s my personal favorite of their covers:

Epic masterpiece.
Something more straight forward and rocking from the STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT album, one of the greatest live albums ever.

Speaking of kick-ass songs with kick-ass Spike Jonze videos...

My version of kick ass.....without throwing Slayer on you.

Speaking of The Beastie Boys and Slayer - Kerry King plays the guitar solo on this one and is in the video. Both bands were with Rick Rubin on the Def Jam label at the time.

In 1964, the Rolling Stones had the unenviable task of following the Hardest Working Man in Show Business.

That footage is incredible. I’ve seen it before and yes, James Brown hands Jagger his head on a plate. In defense of The Stones, it was early for them, but still.

Metallica 9 days before my first rock concert and first time seeing them on their 1994 tour. I was 15 and sadly, nothing from my show has surfaced. Hetfield swore like a sailor back then.

My favorite Alice Cooper song....along with a few others.

One of the few highlights from "Magical Mystery Tour" (1967).

One of my favorite George songs:

Here’s a George song I’ve always loved. Love the slide guitar. I’ve always thought his lead playing got very lyrical and distinctive in his solo career when he used the slide more, great stuff.

The thirty-three and a third album brings back great memories from my college days. I still have my original vinyl copy, and will place it back on the turntable tomorrow, after sitting unplayed in my record cabinet for so many years. Thank you for the reminder to give this great album a listen in the 21st century.

Nice to hear you have fond memories of it and that you’re inspired to play it again. It really is a very underrated album.
-
Pure beauty. I know my tastes are “maturing” as I get older because I can now stomach my favorite guitar player, Ritchie Blackmore, doing something besides hard rock. Digging the Blackmore’s Night stuff. The original version of this song from Renaissance is also worth hearing.
-
A great song that was not on the original 1970 triple album because George was dissatisfied with the drum track.
-
-
A music video released in 1984.
-
A very timely song.

I'm a big fan of Bob Dylan but mostly his better known stuff from the 60s and 70s. A lot of his more recent work hasn't done a ton for me. But his latest original song, released last month, is pretty good. And pretty long - it clocks in at just under 17 minutes.
Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton get name dropped. The song is Dylan's first-ever Billboard #1.

Definitely an epic song. Some Dylan I like more than others - to be expected from a guy who has such a lengthy catalogue. The man never became a nostalgia act, always does what he wants and not what is expected of him and has created some great songs and albums along the way. I’m glad he finally got a number one - in his late seventies - and Dylan will always have my respect.

Released in 1975, the Laurel and Hardy song reached No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart.

Maybe it’s the wine, but I’m listening to the 1995 2 CD edition of KILLERS now and this song is really hitting me. The bass, the guitar solos, Paul Di’Anno’s vocals - so beautiful.

Anybody like mashups? Bill McClintock’s channel is genius.

Neil Cicierega's "Mouth..." stuff is wonderful:
While we're on this forum, he also made this:

Honoring George Harrison at the 2004 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

If this doesn't say I have varied musical tastes, I'm not sure what would. Two songs I've been listening a lot to this week, released over 90 years apart.
ASTRID S and BRETT YOUNG - I DO (ACOUSTIC)
WISHING - VIC MEYERS
-
-
I love Blue Oyster Cult and I feel their most famous song is one of the rare cases where the song truly is one of their better ones. That Buck Dharma guitar solo - good God!
-
Not my favorite group, but a terrific video.

I have to be in the mood, but I do listen to The Clash at times and like them when that mood hits. I once found their 3 CD box set, THE CLASH ON BROADWAY in a used record/CD store for $15, a good deal.
I’m not much a punk guy, but my two punk bands are The Ramones and Danzig era Misfits. Yes, I have an unusual choice for favorite Ramones song.
A progressive epic length song about Eastern spirituality. Brilliance.

Great new song from Tim McGraw called 'I called Mama'
I love the lyrics with this one
I got a call from a friend about a friend
It's the news no one ever wants to hear
It hit me like a punch
It took my breath
He was just getting into his best years
Yeah, something like that'll shake you up
Wake you up
So I stopped off at a Texaco
Bought a Slim Jim and a Coke
Parked out by the water just to watch that river flow
Grabbed my guitar from the back seat
Wrote a song just for me
And I sung it for the blue sky
And a couple live oak trees
I thought of home, grabbed my phone from my pocket
And I called mama
It rang a couple times and she picked up
I can always hear her smile when I call
I just called to tell you that I loved you
I was missin' you, and dad, and home, that's all
I got to really thinkin' this mornin'
About what's important
So I stopped off at a Texaco
Bought a Slim Jim and a Coke
Parked out by the water just to watch that river flow
Grabbed my guitar from the back seat
Wrote a song just for me
And I sung it for the blue sky
And a couple live oak trees
I thought of home, grabbed my phone from my pocket
And I called mama
And from now on
I ain't gonna wait so long
To stop off at a Texaco
Buy a Slim Jim and a Coke
Park out by the water just to watch that river flow
Grab my guitar from the back seat
Write a song just for me
Sing it for the blue sky
And a couple live oak trees
And think of home, grab my phone from my pocket
Instead of saying tomorrow I'm gonna
And I call mama
And I call mama

Six feet apart by Luke Combs
This is very much a song for this coronavirus age.
Some really great lines:
I miss my mom, I miss my dad
I miss the road, I miss my band
Givin' hugs and shakin' hands
It's a mystery, I suppose
Just how long this thing goes
But there'll be crowds and there'll be shows
And there will be light after dark
Someday when we aren't six feet apart
First thing that I'm gonna do
Is slide on in some corner booth
And take the whole damn family out
And buy my buddies all a round
Pay some extra on the tab
Catch a movie, catch a cab
Watch a ballgame from the stands
Probably over-wash my hands

Am I the only modern country fan here?

Am I the only modern country fan here?
The only country I like, and even then it’s a very casual interest, is Johnny Cash. I like it’s influence on early rock (Elvis at Sun, Carl Perkins, Buddy Holly, etc.) folk, (Bob Dylan) and some Southern Rock stuff like Lynyrd Skynyrd. Modern stuff, not so much, but hey, to each their own.
My favorite genres are classic metal/hard rock, progressive rock, 50’s and 60’s rock and standard classic rock, in that order. I’ll blast James Brown and Motown once in a while too.
-
Speaking of classic metal AND SILENT COMEDY (!), here is Iron Maiden’s “Run to the Hills” video. It uses extensive footage from the 1923 Hal Roach short, THE UNCOVERED WAGON, starring James Parrott - Charley Chase’s brother.

It's weird how tastes can change. I wanted nothing to do with country until about 10 years ago and now listen to it extensively, along with the alternative stuff I grew up with in the 90s/early 2000s and all kinds of stuff from mostly the 60s onward.
I tend to get lost in the lyrics of a lot of modern country songs, if that makes any sense.
-
I've never really been a huge fan of modern country music -- or, on a similar note, current pop music in general (though it's practically all of what some of my family listens to on the radio). However, I feel I'm generally softer on the country/pop from, say, 10-20 years ago now than I was at the time it was on all the radio stations and TV countdowns (though there's still a solid amount I never could and probably never will get into, but then again I suppose that's the story with any genre of music, including my preferred classic rock and alternative rock).
That Kenny Chesney track you posted, like a lot of then-new country I heard as I grew up (I'll be 26 this November), is something I never really paid much attention to back then, but I now hear and remember with a great deal of fondness, partly fueled by nostalgia as well as recognition of it being a good, uplifting song.
Here's a modern country track from several years back that I like -- a good "night time" track, IMO:

I was a kid in the 80’s and teen in the 90’s. As a kid living in Connecticut in the 80’s who watched MTV, country was not even on my radar. In the 90’s, Garth Brooks, Billy Ray Cyrus (Miley’s Dad) and Shania Twain were popular. It just never registered with me. Since the early 2000’s especially, I barely know what is going on in current pop culture outside of small pockets of the metal community. With very few exceptions, I also never listen to music for lyrics. If it touches me lyrically, great, but if not and I like the music, it’s all good.
But yeah, GreenCanaries, I hear you about nostalgia and I can understand why some of the country songs from your youth you like more now than when you were younger. There are songs I hated in the 90’s I’m way more tolerant of now and it is nostalgia driven.

Back in the 90s, I dismissed country as largely hillbilly/redneck music. Today's country sounds a lot different than it did back then.
Some of the lines in that Kenny Chesney song, for instance, just seem so... I don't know, American? It paints very imagery at least to me.
I go back to a two-toned short bed Chevy
Drivin' my first love out to the levy
Livin' life with no sense of time
And I go back to the feel of a fifty yard line
A blanket, a girl, some raspberry wine
Wishin' time would stop right in its tracks
And while I'm not an overly religious/spiritual person, I love this line:
And the smell of Sunday chicken after church

I admire your passion. The only guys I always pay attention to the lyrics are Ray Davies and Alice Cooper. Ray is, ironic based on what you said for Kenny Chesney, very British. Alice Cooper, I just love his humor - I’ll give you a slice of Americana with him. A VERY funny song.

In honor of Jim Henson, who passed away 30 years ago today, here's a beautiful song written by the late Jeff Moss and sung by Jim as Ernie:
-
A minor hit about George Harrison's "subconscious plagiarism."
-
I remember when Jim Henson passed away. I was 11 at the time and I realize more now than back then he wasn’t old at all.
Ronnie James Dio died exactly 20 years later. Today is the 10th anniversary of his death.
Some classic Black Sabbath with Dio a few years live before he passed.
-
Speaking of George Harrison, here's perhaps my favorite of his.... Give Me Love is way up on that list too.
I vividly remember my mom giving me a ride to high school one Friday during my sophomore year and hearing his passing announced on the radio. I don't know why I remember that so well but I remember that more than anything I learned in school that day.

I was in college when George passed and it was that late in life when a rock star that had a big impact on me passed. All the others that died happened before I was a fan. I like George more and more the older I get. Great songwriter, love his voice and he always gave insightful interviews.

Not a bad song. I can't say I've heard of it - or him - before. I wonder why he hasn't released an album since 2012?

Stunt by the Barenaked Ladies is one of my favorite albums from the late 90's. From start to end, there's not a bad track on it. One Week is the most famous song on there if not in their entire catalog. But there's a lot of hidden gems on Stunt, including this song that was never released as a single.

I have BNL's first six albums (GORDON through EVERYTHING TO EVERYONE). A great band whose serious stuff is really underrated, and Steven Page is such a great singer.

I agree on all that. BNL have not been the same since his departure back in 2009. Page has such a distinctive voice - I'd put Raine Maida of Our Lady Peace in that group too. Ditto for Ed Kowalczyk of Live.
Here's another BNL classic:

"People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time."
Black Sabbath is one of my favorite bands ever. I would say about any album from the early 70’s all the way to about 1987 or so ranks very high for me. Besides, I went to Rockwalk in L.A. years ago and my hands are the same size as Ozzy’s. :D
-
Speaking of Ozzy and Elton John, they just collaborated recently. Elton plays piano and sings the second verse.
-
Dee Murray’s isolated bass track, “Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting.” Starts about 15 or 20 seconde into the video. Pretty cool.
-
Well, if we’re going to continue the Elton John discussion, I figure I might as well try sharing another track that I consider to be extremely underrated. This is “Out of the Blue,” a really cool instrumental from Elton’s 1976 double album, BLUE MOVES. It used to be the closing theme to a program called TOP GEAR, but I wouldn’t be surprised if fans of that program didn’t even know it was him, given how different it is from most of Elton’s work.
-
Here's a lesser known Elton John song that happens to be one of my faves of his.... according to data on setlist.com, Elton John has never played this song in concert. (https://www.setlist.fm/stats/elton-john-63d6be6f.html)

Released in 1983.

-
Soulful Ian Gillan vocal and one of the many reasons why Ritchie Blackmore is my favorite guitarist.
-
Another blast from the MTV past.
-
Speaking of early MTV, here’s Ratt’s “Round and Round” complete with - Milton Berle. I just watched a documentary on 80’s L.A. Metal and one of the guys in Ratt said the moment Berle walked on the set he completely took over the direction. The reason he’s even in this video is because his brother managed Ratt - so there’s your unusual connection for the day. Of all the hit songs from the L.A. Metal bands, this might be my favorite of the era.
-
A great "love" song. Very witty and clever lyrics:
-
-
I‘Ve always loved this song. I’ve owned Box Sets 1 and 2 on CD since the late 90’s (in the streaming era, I’ve heard all the proper albums several times as well), and “Carouselambra” is a definite highlight of the second box set. Being from “In Through the Outdoor,” probably a reflection of where they would have gone in the 80’s if Bonzo didn’t pass.
-
Jimmy Page with The Yardbirds. “White Summer” was played live at a lot early Zeppelin concerts.
-
Father John Misty - Ballad Of The Dying Man
-
Teenage Fanclub - Sparky's Dream

Masterpiece

In the U.S., these guys had about two hits and they were about a decade apart. They have a zillion albums and I like what I’ve heard from these guys. Their late 70’s live album is good.
-
The first Golden Earring hit, with a 1973 music video to match.
-

I’ve heard Cream’s version of “Spoonful,” but never Howlin’ Wolf’s. Cool.
Underrated Zeppelin track below. Beautiful song.

Down by the Seaside is a great one, especially that breakdown in the middle section... [cool]

From the album "Scary Monsters" (1980).

The greatest debate in rock and roll: Ozzy vs Dio...
Ozzy’s prime was ‘70 - ‘81. Dio ‘75 - ‘84. Ozzy was very good for further until the early 90’s and just OK after. Dio was at least always very good after, his later years he aged more gracefully than Ozzy, not humiliating himself on realty TV and Dio’s voice held up much better as he aged. So long haul, Dio, but prime - not gonna compare. Can’t live without either.
Also, after Dio left Sabbath, Ian Gillan did the BORN AGAIN album. As good as any of the Ozzy or Dio albums, in my opinion. Ian’s vocals are amazing here and this song so heavy.

Classic Dio song. 🤘🏻

If I had kept track of my most listened to songs growing up, The Freshman by The Verve Pipe would almost certainly place extremely high on the list.

For someone like me who was born in the mid-80s and got into music in the mid-90s, the first Dylan I knew of was Jakob, not Bob. The 1996 Wallflowers album Bringing Down the Horse was one of my early favorites. It was far and away the most successful of the band's albums, peaking at 4 on the Billboard 200.
Jakob, Bob's son, is the lead singer of The Wallflowers.

The 90’s were a black hole for me and for heavy metal, unquestionably the worst decade to be a metal fan. That being said, stuff like that Blink 182 video sounds like Mozart compared to mumble rap, auto tuned vocals and computerized processed click track beats that pass as mainstream music today. Now kids, get off my lawn and pass me the Metamucil.
-
This came out when I was 11. As cheesy as this song is (Jani Lane R.I.P., wrote less famous but better ones), this video made an impression on me at that age. [pie]. ...,and yes boys and girls, this is why Grunge happened.
The girl, Bobbi Brown, was in the two part classic Married With Children episode at the supermarket being ogled by Bud Bundy, in case any of you like that show.

My favorite Rolling Stones track — a song unlike any other.

While we're on the subject of '90s pop-punk, one of my favorite bands growing up was Green Day. I sort of fell off keeping track of their new stuff in early college, not long after their 2012-13 triple releases (UNO, DOS, TRE), but I still like to put on their '90s stuff in particular (mainly KERPLUNK through WARNING, with some sprinklings of AMERICAN IDIOT and 21st CENTURY BREAKDOWN).
Here's a nice little ditty of theirs, all about family...

Being in high school when DOOKIE came out, one could not escape that album, it was everywhere. Being a bassist, I learned the opening lick to “Longview” because every other person who heard me play requested I play it.

Here’s a good one from the 90’s. Saw these guys at Ozzfest, I believe 1997. I remember seeing this on Headbanger’s Ball for the first time and freaking out watching Peter Steele with that upright bass in his vampiric glory. My ex girlfriend actually met him. May he R.I.P.

Pearl Jam - another band I’m supposed to like because of my age but don’t. TEN and VS were again albums I couldn’t escape as a teen. I guess it’s not bad music, especially compared to more modern mainstream rock, but there were just other bands and genres I preferred. That being said, this one song I’ve always liked....
-
Speaking of timely songs...,
-
I can listen to Pearl Jam in small doses, but STP was always the band of the 90s for me. Lately though, I've been telling myself I need to dive deeper into Alice in Chains....

AIC and Soundgarden are my two favorite “grunge” bands of the era. If released in any other era, Alice In Chains would be labeled doom metal.

Second greatest band name ever. The The is the best.

Mark Knopfler with Thin Lizzy frontman Phil Lynott on on Phil’s solo song, “King’s Call,” a tribute to Elvis. Mark’s guitar style is unmistakable and Phil Lynott one of the great songwriters in my eyes. A shame him and Thin Lizzy are looked at as one hit wonders in the U.S., a damn crime. More justice for Phil in the U.K.

I think Jimmy Hart was know for "sampling" various hits for use of wrestler's entrance themes (especially in WCW). I know this one is commonly tied to Nirvana's "Come as You Are," but I think I hear some Alice in Chains as well. Pretty badass ring music, regardless...

100% true. DDP’s ring music is “Smells Like Teen Spirit” backwards.

Lou Reed and Metallica’s LULU album condensed into five minutes. I don’t share this as an example of good music, but an example of something so awful it’s funny. Sucks Metallica had to do this, but Lou Reed never did it for me. Anyway, enjoy the comedy, but another NOT SAFE FOR WORK video.

Very cool hearing Led Zeppelin play “Money (That’s What I Want). Here’s actual video footage of Deep Purple jamming with George Harrison in 1984. They play “Lucille” from Little Richard.

For sure! The guitar tone and rhythm section sounds like it could be GIVEN THE DOG A BONE. The singer, Marc Storace, was asked to join AC/DC after Bon died.
-
Maybe it's better that Marc didn't join--not that I'm trying to shit on the guy, but I can imagine a hardcore fanbase turning up their noses and labeling him a "Bon Scott clone."
On it's own though, that was a pretty good tune by Krokus...

Agree. Krokus had a brief little bit of fame in the U.S., but are gods in Switzerland. LOL. They had their AC/DC album, the next album was a Judas Priest style album, then they went pop metal. God bless the 80’s.

I saw this video 30 - 35 years ago on the TV in the mall when shopping with my mother and grandmother. The sight of guys head banging against the wall and knocking down the building was cheesy even to my six or seven year old self. For years I wanted to know what video that was and 30 years later found out on YouTube. Funny because I have since known the song but didn’t realize the video it was linked to.
Cheesy video, great song.

The facial expressions match the voice. I died at, “I hear babies crying.”

It’s a shame that this song never made it on to any of The Beatles’ official studio albums. I love YELLOW SUBMARINE, but it’s often been said that The Beatles only put new songs on there that they didn’t consider good enough for their main albums. This has always been one of my favorites by them.
-
I bought the 4 DVD set years ago that has the Sennett shorts plus some extras. Pretty sure it was mentioned Langdon is lip syncing here. Whether he is or not, cool seeing him in that setting.

He did a good job on those two albums he played on for sure. I think he was about 18 when he joined the band, answered an ad for a major band looking for a drummer, having no idea it was AC/DC. Nice break there. Then after he left AC/DC.....
I think he’s gigging with Ronnie’s hologram these days.

Seger and Skynyrd are both good. I’m a bigger fan of the latter but both had great songs and smokin’ mid 70’s double live albums.
Here’s Metallica covering Seger’s “Turn the Page” at a concert I was at. Can’t believe this show was almost 22 years ago! I love both Seger and Metallica’s versions equally.

I remember when Jim Croce died in 1973. I was in the Army, stationed at Fort Dix, New Jersey, when it happened. My older brother had just told me about Croce a month or two before he died, and I had just bought a couple of his albums and was getting into Croce's music when I heard the news. :(
-
Of all that early seventies acoustic/singer-songwriter/country rock/blue eyed soul stuff, I don’t necessarily hate any of it, but most of it just doesn’t stick with me. I prefer the proto metal/hard rock and progressive stuff of that era more. That said, one guy I really do like is Cat Stevens. His music touches me more, for some reason.

You can't go wrong with Cat Stevens. One of the best of that era for me.

I think much earlier in this thread I posted the Midnight Special (or one of those 70’s TV shows) version of this song where the band was miming to a backing track and Dio was singing live. It’s hysterical because it’s so obvious Blackmore is not synching properly to his guitar solo.
Classic song.

I remember hearing this song regularly on the radio in the car probably around 1984 or 1985 or so when my Mom was driving me to kindergarten or 1st grade. The song was new at the time but I had no idea who Van Halen were. Years later, when I was getting into harder rock, I heard about Van Halen by reputation as this harder rock band with an amazing guitar player. I was shocked when I found out “Jump,” a keyboard oriented pop song I knew for years, was from Van Halen.

Their first four live albums, ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE, EXIT...STAGE LEFT, A SHOW OF HANDS, and DIFFERENT STAGES are all complimentary of each other and capture different eras of the band. Good starting points. The third of those has the greatest intro to a live album ever.

I’m not sure if I’ve ever listened to the entire Coda album as a straight album, as it’s really just an outtakes album (the other true albums I have heard several times). That said, I have heard all the songs individually a zillion times from those two early 90’s box sets.

I've listened to the B-52's first album several times the past few weeks. I like it a lot, despite being campy it has some catchy guitar work and is basically punk rock. I've tried some of their later albums, but they feature a lot of synthesizers and drum machines.
-
"Shiny Happy People" (which I personally don't hate as much as others) was the big hit, but I consider this album closer to be the better of the two Kate Pierson-featuring tracks on OUT OF TIME:

No Excuses is great, actually Jar of Flies is probably Alice in Chain's best release.

That Gilbert Gottfried video is great, I love it! Needs some Fran Drescher backing vocals.
That idol video, it’s one thing to not be able to sing, but to be that rudimentary a guitar player and go on TV either takes massive balls or a complete lack of self awareness. What he’s playing is basic chromatic exercises you’ll find on page one of a beginner’s book - and he’s failing at it.

An interview with G.G. Allin a few days before his death. Not for the squeamish and this is censored compared to uncut performances you can find elsewhere, and check out his Wikipedia page to learn more. Your jaw will drop, this guy is sick. I’m not a fan, but am morbidly fascinated like watching a train wreck. Can’t imagine what his concerts smelled like.

Those background look even cheesier than the back projections in the movies! I wonder if that Call of the Cuckoos was in the original Grand Funk song (I'm not too familiar with them).
Another one of my favorite bands (along with Steely Dan): The Doobie Brothers. I happen to like both the Tom Johnston and Michael McDonald eras.

Maybe you’ve heard this song, Grand Funk Railroad’s most famous song. If not, then you probably have never heard them. Predates the both of us.

I’ve been a Metallica fan for over thirty years. Never thought of them as a singles band and never gave much thought about their U.S. single chart positions until today. Researched it and found out they had 7 U.S. top 40 songs. A bit surprised. Definitely more an album and touring band, but here’s their highest single, made it to #10 in 1996. Cool video, I was in high school when this came out and was definitely following. Lyrically about Hetfield losing his Dad to cancer.

Everything great about Metallica in one song. Heaviness, riffs form miles, sudden time signature shifts, a melodic and moody mid section, thoughtful lyrics - this song fucking rules.

Was debating if I should post this, since I saw the Music That Sucks section on Genesis. I know Genesis isn’t for everyone, but I still really like this song:

That said, 80’s rap is better than today. That WAP song by Cardi B is a huge hit today and I’m mortified on so many levels. Now I can’t say I’m a fan of every video in this thread, but all of it is actual music and I can understand how it would appeal to some people with an IQ over 70. That Cardi B thing, my God.
This video is pretty accurate about the subject.

You have incongruously heard "Hard Times in the Mill" in a Volvo commercial. Now listen to the entire 1956 Pete Seeger recording.

I was 12 and just starting 7th grade when NEVERMIND came out. I’m kinder to that era now than I was then. I was getting deeper into metal and hated that grunge, from a commercial perspective, wiped out that music for the 90’s. The irony is a lot of those grunge guys loved metal but wouldn’t admit it until years later. Maybe not Cobain too much - he was always into these obscure bands. I remember consoling a friend when Cobain passed away.
Shockingly, considering my love of heavier music, my favorite Nirvana album is the unplugged album.

Brand spanking new AC/DC song. Such beautiful lyrics.
I’ve listened to the new album a few times, I dig it.

Just listened through the first disc of the “rarities” from Elton John’s Jewel Box today, and there’s some pretty interesting stuff on it (Nina, in particular, felt very psychedelic). Strangely, the song I found most memorable was actually the song “The Witch’s House.” It’s strange that I find it so memorable, considering that Elton wrote the words himself, and it’s only a piano demo. Looking forward to listening to the other discs.

I had Spiritual Machines on CD and pretty much wore that album out on my old Aiwa Walkman. Everyone's a Junkie is a great song... Raine Maida's voice is so unique.

To this day I’ve never seen that movie and probably should at least once. My Aunt saw Earth Wind and Fire in concert back in the 70’s, her first concert.
Here’s Alice Cooper doing “Because” with The Bee Gees on harmonies. Alice originally sang it straight and melodic trying to be respectful to the original. George Martin, who produced the track, insisted he instead sing like Alice.

The title track of my least favorite Metallica album (I don’t count Lulu). I did catch that tour at Veteran’s Stadium in Philly just before it got torn down.
This is the closing track off Metallica’s latest album and I think it’s their best song in decades.

I think I've mentioned this before, not being too familiar with Metallica, but I think a lot of the fanbase were disappointed with that album. I know Edge and Chris Jericho were among the few who talked about it. It seems for me, most of my Metallica moments started with Sting using Seek and Destroy as his entrance after turning heel in 1999...

I got into Metallica in about 1988 or 1989 at a pretty young age. LOL. By the time Sting was using their song, I was a seasoned fan.
The first four albums are classics. The fifth was the mainstream breakthrough - I believe The Black Album is the best selling album, any genre, of the soundscan era. There’s been good songs and concerts since, but the first four albums are being buried with me.

That KISS sing I posted was definitely a response to The Stones and Rod Stewart writing rock discos songs. Chart wise, it worked for all of them.

I would join this disco trend and share one of Elton John’s tracks, but...well, Elton’s disco album VICTIM OF LOVE is some of the worst music ever created, so I won’t torture you guys with that. [pie]
-
I think with those rock bands, it was more a singles thing than the albums when it came to the disco. For example, SOME GIRLS, while it has “Miss You,” is not a disco album and the same can be said for KISS and “I Was Made for Loving You,” as the DYNASTY album has rock and pop songs as the other tracks, OK, maybe “Dirty Livin’” qualifies as disco, I guess. EMOTIONAL RESCUE I guess is a guitar oriented dance album, but truthfully, I never could get into that album, as much as I tried. SOME GIRLS I love, though.

Even Alice Cooper did a disco song, about the worst song he ever did - and Alice feels the same way, from what I understand.

Yeah, that does sound pretty bad. I wonder what the story is behind that one? It seems like it comes from a regular album.
Now that I think about it, I’ve always wondered if Philadelphia Soul fits in the disco category? If that’s the case, then Elton actually has done some good disco work, particularly on THE THOM BELL SESSIONS. Here’s one I’ve always liked:

Apparently everyone tried to catch on to the disco trend. According to legend, Cab Calloway wanted to perform his disco version of “Minnie the Moocher” in THE BLUES BROTHERS. Thankfully, he was talked out of it.

From Alice’s LACE AND WHISKEY album. About three or four strong tracks, but my least favorite Alice album of the 70’s. Alice was drunk and went to rehab. Got out, collaborated with Bernie Taupin and made a much stronger album.
Musically, Bernie was good for Alice. Personally, not so much. Got Alice into cocaine.

Speaking of Pete Townshend, I just started reading his autobiography. As a kid in England in the late 40’s, he mentioned watching The Three Stooges on Saturday matinees along with Laurel and Hardy (who he loves), Chaplin (who he deemed old fashioned), Looney Tunes and Disney cartoons. I guess the boys had some showing in England after all.

I know for a lot of fans, this is just a redux of Since I've Been Lovin' You, but I've been listening to it lately & it has its own cool vibe--especially the intro....

I’ve been discovering Coroner recently. A technical Swiss thrash band from the late 80’s - early 90’s that is probably too heavy for you guys - but they do an awesome Beatles cover. Even the original version, towards the ending riff that repeats over, I consider one of The Beatles few metal moments.

That’s a great song. I know the Jack Bruce version (he wrote the song) but am more familiar with the Mountain version. When Mountain broke up, two of the Mountain guys formed a band by replacing Felix Pappalardi with…..Jack Bruce.

Seeing that clip makes me wonder if there are any TV stations anymore that are dedicated to showing music videos or if artists even make the effort to shoot them?
I admit that part of my confusion owes to the fact that I'm completely in the dark about whatever is considered hip or relevant in the music industry these days. The last new album I bought was Clockwork Angels back in 2013...

Just saw this article and it reminded me of your post. Iron Maiden just released a new album and it made the top 5 on Billboard. Their debut came out in 1980, it’s their 17th album and it’s their highest chart position ever. What’s unusual is 90% of those sales came from physical copies. Yes, I did buy it. Fans of the old rock bands like Maiden and Rush tend to be more loyal, I think. Interesting article below that speaks to the modern state of music purchasing.

I am making a playlist for a friend and trying to come up with live albums. I searched Heart and that Heart compilation you posted I thought would do the trick until I found out it’s only part live. Amazingly, no full live album until the early 90’s.
I’ve heard the first two albums a couple of times and know the 80’s hits. I was impressed by those early albums and need to explore Heart more.

Remembering Michael Nesmith (1942 - 2021)
-
-
Saxon has been producing quality music for over 40 years. The middle of this song, once it gets mellow again and the Gregorian chants start followed by the melodic guitar solo and double bass drumming literally sends chills in my body whenever I hear it. One of the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard.
-
-
Recorded in 1953.
-
-
Released in November 1963.
-
-
We have two Beatle albums to go, then we’ll have a Zeppelin thread.
I still haven’t decided whether to do Abbey Road or Let It Be next.
-
I look forward to that Zeppelin thread whenever you start it up, Doug. I'm already imagining the heated conversation over those last 3 albums; Presence, ITTOD and Coda...
:P

David Bowie version (1993)

I'm into most music genres to some extent (some more than others). About 12 years ago, I started getting into what I think of as "Irish Punk Rock". It started with a couple of songs by Flogging Molly that were featured on Stargate: Universe (SGU):
I fell in love with their music. They range from rambunctious drinking songs to soulful and thought-provoking. Their song, Float, is one of my favorites (especially as I grow older and reflect on my life):
-
Continuing the "Irish Punk Rock" theme, our good friend Shemps#1 introduced me to another one of my favorite groups, Dropkick Murphys, a Boston band:
-
Another group I've gotten fond of is Selfish Murphy, a group from eastern Europe (I want to say Slovakia, but I won't swear to it.)
-
And finally, another group I've more recently gotten into, The Rumjacks, out of Sydney, Australia:
-
I almost forgot to share one of my favorite songs by the Dropkick Murphys, Going Out in Style. When I die, I don't want a funeral - I want a wake, like this:
-
And to show off my eclectic tastes, how about a couple of songs from Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats:
-
I remember the days when Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon would use The Dropkick Murphys as his walk out music. Very fond memories.
These days, 100% of my music listening has been the new Metallica album.

"A-E-I-O-U... and sometimes, W..."
First heard that one at a rather impressionable young age, and it's more or less remained in my subconscious since. Really funny song.

Since you know that one, how about another song to celebrate the beginning of the weekend? Do you know The Rev. Right-time and the 1st Cuzins of Funk*? [pot]
* (Local group that I saw live a couple of times when I lived near Flint.)

I don't, actually -- but I am digging this!

Watching European movies - I love the scores. Big Bruno Nicolai fan.

I'm having another flashback to the 80s again this morning!
-
The first video ever played on MTV:
-
I’m of the age where music and MTV were intrinsically linked - for better or worse. People I work with in their twenties view MTV as a reality TV channel.
-
-
One of the great concert films — newly restored and (hopefully) playing at a theater near you.
-
The first video ever played on MTV:
It's useless trivia time courtesy of the FNG:
What was the second video/song played on MTV...and name of the artist?
(if you cheat by googling...I'll know) ::)

Pat Benatar, "You Better Run".
Definitely not Googled. I recently found a video on YouTube with the first two hours of MTV's broadcast, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJtiPRDIqtI) so I already knew where to look. >:D
-
Technically, this would not be considered a 'music video', howevers, our esteemed narrator has a certain sing-songy cadence to his voice. I trust you will understand.
-
I'll make up for the previous by actually posting a 'music video'. These are some local boys that had some talent. I can say local, as I grew up within 15 miles from most of them...and even had a cousin that dated one of them in HS.
I can also say, provided you've not seen this before, that you are about to witness one of the best live guitar solos of all time.
Enjoy.
(Oh...the strange opening was due to Danny the drummer replacing a cracked ride cymbal, and the stand wouldn't lie flat on the floor...hence the delay)
-
Something a little different for Friday night. This is a group I recently discovered, and I really like their sound.
Ghost Hounds
-
Watch this and tell me Paul Weller isn't the near-spitting image of Monte Collins.
-
In my last entry, I shared one of my two favorite live guitar solos. Terry Kath had a style of grabbing you by the nuts...and refusing to let go until he was good and well finished...and making you hope it would never end.
David Gilmour took a much different approach. He would grab you by the soul, and again, you hoped it would never end.
This performance is a feast for every one of your senses. Pink Floyd basically invented the cosmic light show, and perfected the art of transporting the listener to a different plane of existence.
In closing, nowhere else will you see the worlds largest disco ball morph into an alien spacecraft. Also, please use your best headphones/earbuds.
-
One of the great music videos.
-
George Ezra (with Ian McKellen), Listen to the Man
-
One of my all time favorite songs/videos
-
Green, green grass, blue, blue sky,
You'd better throw a party on the day that I die
The lyrics express my basic attitude towards death. I want everyone to throw a party in my memory!
[cheers] [pot]

I’m a strange bird with Pink Floyd. With most artists I’m into, I tend to go deep into the albums. Pink Floyd, perhaps one of the ultimate album bands, I only like the hits. But yes, that solo in “Comfortably Numb” is incredible and has always been a favorite of mine, top 10 solo for sure.
Ritchie Blackmore is my favorite guitarist - I think some of my favorite solos of his I’ve posted here somewhere.

I'll definitely look into that. I am a Purple fan, and one of my 6+/- 8-track tapes I bought for my beater car my senior year in HS was a Rainbow. [cool]

In keeping with the season...

This is freaking awesome! Some 18,000 people in 15 different cities across Australia joined in on a "Pub Choir", singing Toto's Africa together.

Seventeen minutes of brilliance.

I was in the audience for this one. I like this version better than the studio version.
