Let's talk about music!

Commercial success. And the fact that he's a country musician. I don't respect country musicians. I have an averse physical reaction to country music. Twitching, eyesore, grinding teeth. Not pleasant.

Wow.
Well, I'm not the biggest fan of country, either, but their are four or five songs that I enjoy.
A few of which are by Josh Turner.

Country music officially died when Urban Cowboy came out, anyways.

I don't really know that a detailed listing of the 350 or so artists in my iTunes will do anything for most of you. It's the odd and hard to find stuff that I like to talk about, myself.

Led Zeppelin and Neil Young doing 'When The Levee Breaks' at the 1991 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame show.

Skid Row and Rob Halford doing 'Delivering The Goods' live.

The full version of Vanilla Fudge's 'You Keep Me Hangin' On'.

Jimi Hendrix doing 'Day Tripper' with John Lennon on background vocals.

Gary Moore and Albert King in a 10+ minute version of 'Stormy Monday'.

Cheap Trick live in 1977 NOT Budokan.

The Yardbirds w/Jimmy Page live in 1968.

Muddy Waters and Dizzy Gillespie doing 'Kansas City'.

That sort of thing.

The new Metallica

Listened to it today. Will hopefully grow, but I was a bit disappointed. Lots of good things have been said about it, and, while I'll readily acknowledge that it is elebenty times better than everything they did since ~ 1994, I was hoping it would beat the "Black Album", but it's not there yet for me.

and Slipknot albums are out. Buy them and worship appropriately.

I'll skip even thinking of Slipknot...

brnleague99, I started listening to Amon Amarth by buying the "Sorrow Throughout The Nine Worlds EP" in 1997.

Worship me. :twisted:

I've seen them live six or seven times, have all their albums... The new one is pretty cool, especially the title song is a blast. But for me, nothing surpasses "Sorrow..." and "Once Sent From The golden Hall", especially the track "Amon Amarth".

Try listening to Steve Earle or Johnny Cash. If you don't like either of their music, there's something wrong with you.

A few of my faves (in no particular order):

- Apocalyptica
- Robert Randolph
- Wasis Diop
- Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
- Hüsker Dü (more specifically, anything by Bob Mould)
- Parliament/Funkadelic
- Rammstein
- Social Distortion
- Victor Wooten (add Bela Fleck and the Flecktones to that list)
- Al Green
- Gov't Mule
- Esperanza Spalding
- The Superbad soundrack
- The Pixies
- Rick James (bitch!)
- Nick Drake
- Seu Jorge
- Midnight Oil
- QOTSA
- James Brown

And countless others . . . :mrgreen:

[midgetshrimp]

I haven't heard of Steve Earle, but I've heard Johnny Cash and while it's tolerable, I really don't want to listen to it. I've had to sit through a loop of about 8 songs with him on it for literally hours on end. Your Own Personal Jesus can go to hell. Go to hell and die.

[brnleague99]

Giz! You like Coal Chamber? Holy shit!

I loved them back in the day, and everytime I'd try to tell someone how good they were, I'd get a lot of blank looks.

Saw them live twice. Once opening for Slipknot and once for Type O Negative.

Just to update on my post on the top...

The Metallica has grown. A lot! While I consider it to be somewhere between the Black Album and Load/Reload (and not ...And Justice For All and the Black Album, as others say), they have a way of writing music that goes to the core. It's not "Master of Puppets II", but it's a great album.

The new Amon Amarth is also a swell album. Sure, it's become pretty smooth, I guess they are trying to appeal to a larger audience, but it's still Amon amarth. The title track is killer.

Right now, I'm enchanted by "Only The Sleeper Left The World" off Maroon's "The Cold Heart Of The Sun". German Deathcore. Alas, not posted on Youtube.

Other cool stuff lately...

Agrypnie - Exit. Okay, NO ONE is going to know this band... German Melodic Black Metal from the singer of Nocte Obducta, sounding a lot like Nocte too - which is a fantastic thing.

Eisregen - Knochenkult. Again, probably no one on the board knows them. Finally, they are harsher again!

The new Iced Earth was also a positive surprise, the return of Matt Barlow is suuuch a blessing!

Dream Theater - Chaos In Motion. One of these days I'm going to sue them for publishing a live album after EACH studio CD. Except I will not - because this one is, once again, a stunner!!!

That's it for now.

I uhhh got the new of Montreal and really, really, really desperately want the new Rosebuds album. I love them both so much, you do not even know. Also, I am sooooo gonna see of Montreal in concert in November. I have not been to a concert in forever and it's got me down. Even better, it will be after a steampunk photoshoot. Not that I wouldn't have used the opportunity to dress wierd anyway, but you know. ^_^ I just know there has to be another of Montreal fan on these boards, the latest album is kinky in ways that would amuse most everyone on here (probably)

[midgetshrimp]

I want to see TSO again, but I don't think it's gonna happen this year. Definitely next year. That show was awesome the last time I saw it (November 2006, less than a week before my knee surgery. Loved it. The concert, not the surgery...)
