What's spinnin' on your spinner?

[Nathan]

Old topic closed. smile.gif

Y'all stolen the new System of a Down yet?

I been spinnin' that sucker nonstop. smile.gif

[Goth Girl]

System of a Down is unlikely to be making an appearance on my stereo, especially as Icon of Coil's "Serenity Is The Devil" is seemingly glued to my CD player... just can't get enough of these bleepy German bands!

[Silver]

Had a tough day at work today so when I got home I had to relax to a bit of the old Sisters of Mercy, Temple of Love will always be a favourite.

[Lagula Longarm]

Hi Nathan,
We stole our copy of SOAD in Canada, so I have only had a chance to listen to the first two tracks (in the car, on the way to a chinky take away) but it sounds Okay. We bought a couple of CD's on our hol's, it's so much cheaper over there. :D

[Goth Girl]

Yay, you're back! Ta for the card, looks gorgeous out there!

Having a retro burst... got the Ramones on right now

[Lady Rissa]

Right now I'm in a Buffy The Vampire Slayer mood, so I'm listening to the soundrack from the episode, "Once More With Feeling". Really fun music to sing along with. :D

[Lagula Longarm]

"GG is a punk rocker, GG is a punk rocker, GG is a punk rocker noowwww" Nice to see your listining to something decent for a change GG ;)

btw if anyone is interested me and mazrah are going to see the Burning Brides at the garage, Highbury on Fri 21st Feb for a good night of Rock and loads of drinkies :D

[Goth Girl]

Sounds fun, but a bit strapped for cash right now... just bought plane tickets to Germany, Soft Cell tickets, and will find out on Friday how much my surgery will cost :eek:

[Llamedos]

Not another boob job GG...

Anyway is £2000 for one or £3000 for both, you get a two for one deal.

(Actual prices may differ...prices from Radio 1 DJ's Chris Moyles)....

[Exsanguinator]

If it costs £2000 for one then it would only cost £2000 for both in a two for one deal, surely? tongue.gif

Back on topic...

Brook Benton, Rainy Night in Georgia... Sam & Dave, Soul Man... Patrick Gowers, Granada TV's Sherlock Homes theme - that's my last three! smile.gif

[Mike C]

The Bonnie Raitt Collection, rrrrrreal bluesy.

[Exsanguinator]

Nnnnnnnnnnnice... Whispering Bob anyone?

Got some Billie Holliday playing at the mo...

[Silver]

Rob Zombie - The Sinister Urge

[topol_sheap]

[topol_sheap]

Currently, right now I have a little pile on the desk in front of me:

Beth Orton - Central Reservation
Jimi Hendrix Collection
Pearl Jam - Vitalogy
Cold Play - A Rush of Blood to the Head
A Compilation someone bought for me of MTV unplugged recordings - pretty nice;)
Sound Garden - Badmotorfiner

MOstly grunge in there, but currently listening to the warblings of Beth Orton - she truly has a fantastic voice.

[Lupa the Ancient]

This week I am mostly listening to .... Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Guns and Roses, Faith no more and the 'bandwagon' that is Coldplay.....

I have also this morning blasted my ear drums with the Punk CD that is free with this months Mojo mag ....... punktastic mates!! :D

[Lagula Longarm]

This week I be mostly listning to
Red Hot Chillies by the way
Burning Brides fall of the plastic empire
The Libertines up th bracket
Syntax pray

[Goth Girl]

Tops, we didn't need to know about your little pile!

Still on my EBM kick, been listening to the latest Covenant and Neuroticfish CDs, although had a brief Soft Cell phase last week after seeing them live.

[Exsanguinator]

Just got house to myself and as if by magic Diamanda Galás' L'Heautonimoroumenos has come on, very atmospheric... Great song for when you're reading a REALLY spooky story too, sends shivers right down your spine...

[The Caller of the Black]

Listening to Lou Reed's new CD, "The Raven", a musical rendering of Edgar Allen Poe's works.

[Lagula Longarm]

I got a bit nostalgic the other day, so at present i'm listning to.. Led Zeppelin early days and later days a new double CD.
I have also started buying CD singles, and have been tuned into..
OkGo
Reuben
Libertines

OK, today I have some nice things (ahem)

Ben Harper - Diamonds on the inside
Pealr Jam - Riot Act

[The Caller of the Black]

[QUOTE]Originally posted by deano:

You can't beat early Led Zep, I recommend their BBC Sessions CD. Some great early live tracks and far superior to the stuff on the Song Remains The Same album/film.

Currently listening to The Coral & Doves. Two amazing NW bands.

[Lagula Longarm]

I know GG goes to the odd concert or two, but does anyone else ?
Me and Mazrah are off to...
Finch @ the Astoria on the 29th March
Burning Brides @ the Garage on the 7th April
Queens of the stone age @ the Brixton Acadamy on the 22nd of June
We have also booked our accomodation for this years Reading Festival (we're too old for tents) the only band I know who are confirmed are Metalica
smile.gif

[The Caller of the Black]

Bit quiet on the gig front so far this year. Went to see Bryan Ferry last Monday. He was at his lounge lizard best and always plays some class Roxy Music tunes in his set.

Going to see Lou Reed in May and wanted to see The Coral next month, however their tickets sold out pretty quick. Hopefully, when they release their second CD, they'll play in larger venues.

[Silver]

I haven't been to see anyone in ages, I missd it but We're trying finish our house so we can sell it at the moment so money is all going on diy. I spent this weekend staining doors! But while I was doing it I listened to:

Metallica - Black Album
White Zombie - La Sexorcisteo
Motorhead - No Remorse
Guns and Roses - Appetite for Distruction
Type O Negative - October Rust and Bloody Kisses
Sisters of Mercy - Some Girls Wonder By Mistake
Skid Row - Subhuman Race

[Goth Girl]

Got a few gigs lined up in the next coupla months... Elektrofest headlined by top German bleepers Covenant (and for some reason, Siobhan Fahey :( ), then a week later is the Whitby Goth Weekend. Gotta feel sorry for the people of Whitby... ordinary seaside town most the year, but twice a year is invaded by a plethora of assorted freaks! Then early May I'm celebrating the return of Katscan to London, yay!

But apologies to Deano and Mazrah... won't be able to go out to play at the end of the month, as we're not in London that weekend (been double booked, doh)

By the way, any ideas of the collective noun for Goths? A sadness of Goths? A calamity? oh dear...

[Red Willow]

Maybe its a scourge of goths or a cloud? Yay Whitby! No gigs for me atm as have no job and no money :( hoping to see Reading or Ozzfest later on though.
As for CD's i am currently obssessed with the new AFI album-Sing the Sorrow, yummy Daveyness plus slight metal and industrial additions! I have been known to also slip in a bit of the Smiths though.

[topol_sheap]

ok, right now, just looking through some cds and happened up Snow Patrol - When it's all over we still have to clear up smile.gif Forgot how good this is! Possibly, I might look out Looper next, and then Gomez...

[BadMushroom]

Relaxin', dippin ma' toes to jacuzi, be-be!

Listenin' to The "D". "Wonderboy" has just finished playing.

Saw Tenacious D at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange last weekend. ROCK!

Shroom.

[Exsanguinator]

Gotta love Tenacious D...

Listening to the Ramsey Lewis Trio right now, had Mark Thomas in South Wales last week so got to see him (no music, except for a Clash CD playing while we were waiting for him to take the stage...)

Been up in a dodgy Holiday Inn in Glasgow this week and haven't had much time to do anything except listen to 1001 tracks on the 12 hour journey up and the 8 hour trip back...

[The Caller of the Black]

Keeping the Faith by listening to some claasic Northern Soul on The Twisted Wheel Story, Vols 1&2.

[Lady Rissa]

Ok no laughing, but I'm listening to the soundtrack to the movie Chicago. The movie was great and in listening to the cd, I can picture it all over again in my mind. :D

[Lagula Longarm]

Me and mazrah went to see the Burning Brides at the garage the other night, and got a few free CD's given to us...so we're playing them and the White Stripes new album elephant :D

[topol_sheap]

The new White Stripes album is a winner smile.gif

[topol_sheap]

hey guys... i've been wanted to do a mass playlist for a while, and now I have the chance... so far only 13 hours worth of music in that... but it's getting ever bigger as I copy my music CDs to the computer...

Ok so that's 20 albums at 13 hours... I have somewhere between 300-350 cds... that would be.... calculating..... 227.5 hours... that's a lot of music... it's almost 10 days worth with out a break... what a real joy:)

On the other side I bought the new Linkin' Park album today, listening to it now... not bad so far as I'd heard mixed reviews. I was going to buy the new cardigans album, but saw it too late :( I guess that'll be next on the hit list...

Planning to buy (in the next 2 months) the new Blur (Think Tank), the new Stereophonics (You Gotta Go There to Come Back), and possibly the new Metallica album, although that does depend on what I hear from real people and not reviews... I haven't bought a Metallica album since the black one, which I for one was disapointed with.

wow I've written an essay!

later,

tops

[ April 12, 2003, 12:37 PM: Message edited by: Tops ]

[topol_sheap]

I should have put that out of the 300ish cds I have, probably only half of them are any good, and only about 3/4s of them are mine... go figure.

[The Caller of the Black]

Currently listening to Queen's Greatest Hits 1 and have "We Are The Champions" on repeat play. :D

Many thanks to the Lumley fans in Leeds for their help today. smile.gif

[Lupa the Ancient]

Always happy to be of service to our friends from across the Pennines .... the second time in 4 years we've given them assistance against the Wenger Boys!!

I am about to put Never Mind the Bollocks by the Sex Pistols on the stereo ...which includes the track 'Liar' ;)

MARK VIDUKA!!!

[Lady Rissa]

I am currently listning to Live, Papa Roach and Eminem. A friend (the same who got me hooked on Necroscope ;) ) suggested I listen to Live and Papa Roach, and I'm liking what I hear! :D

[topol_sheap]

still listening to Elepahnt by the White Stripes, but also added Think Tank by Blur. ALso revisiting Leftfield ;)

[Exsanguinator]

Just had Auntie's Cricket theme playing - it has a proper name but I can't remember it...

Just got a Rammstein album (after watching the opening scenes to xXx I had to improve my collection of their tunes - shame about the rest of the flick!) so I've been listening to their gentle German ballads...

...Oh and the Medical Love song from Monty Python... tongue.gif

[Silver]

I've been re-aquainting myself with Therapy, Troublegum recently

[topol_sheap]

THerapy? That's a band I haven't listened to for years.... I never really got into troublegum as I found that the like of Nurse, and the other 2 earlier albums (I think they were compiled on Caucasian Psychosis), had a much grittier sound... which I prefered (potato junkie being a favourite song). Are they still going?

[Goth Girl]

Kinda disappointed with what I've heard of the new White Stripes album, compared to the last one... bit too Led Zeppelin for my tastes! Listening to the Ladytron album a lot recently though! (and Phill, the new Katscan stuff is great, saw the guys on Saturday)

[ShadoeWolfe]

Prepare the jokes.... Getting a little psyched for a September concert I am going to be heading to so I am listening to some Aerosmith right now - old stuff and new stuff....

And yes, they are touring with KISS and Saliva. Should be a good show....

[Goth Girl]

Need to borrow my platforms then Shadoe? ;)

[Exsanguinator]

And I've got some face make-up going cheap... tongue.gif

[Silver]

Tops I have no idea if Therapy are still going, they had a new album out a couple of years a go but I can't remember what it was called and haven't heard anything since. It got mixed reviews so I never got aroung to buying it.

I really like Troublegum though, could be because I didn't hear any of their earlier stuff before or because I encouraged Andy's old band to cover Knives and he did the whispering at the begining of the song, he scared some girl in the audience and remembering the look on her face alway makes me laugh!

[Tonka]

I actualy saw an advert for a therapy gig in Manchester soon.

currently on my CD player.. is dare I say it, Trance Nation. im in a dancy music phase at the moment

[Lagula Longarm]

Phil, Auntie's cricket theme is Booker T and the MG's record called Green Onion's.
At the mo I'm listening to The eighties B-line disaster album the Horse of the dog, and the yeah, yeah, yeah's new album :D

[The Caller of the Black]

I'm sure the BBC cricket theme is called Soul Limbo.

It was recorded a few years after Green Onions aka "March of the Mods".

[topol_sheap]

currently listening to Reindeer Section's Son of Evil Reindeer - a very nice soothing album I bought about a year ago and never got into - it's nice to revisit stuff that I didn;t give enough of a chance to the first time around:) a very nice album - I think I'll be listening to this one a lot.

As for therapy, I remember Knives - not a bad song... and pretty good live...

[Goth Girl]

Listening to quite a lot of Placebo at the moment, especially the new album, as I'll be seeing them live in Germany later this year.

[The Caller of the Black]

Re-living the 80s so listening to a lot of The Cure and Japan.

[Red Willow]

mmm yay The Cure, cant beat em. Im listening to Hole (still, im obssessed!) and a random compilation from a rock mag.
GG-grrr, still havent seen the gorgeous brian in action!

[Lady Rissa]

I just got Throwing Copper by Live, excellent CD. Love the song "All Over You" smile.gif

[Red Willow]

Heehee!! I may be very strange when it comes to music but I'm proud of it so on the 2nd of December (busy long weekend!) I'm going to see Mr JT!!! (girly screaming!!) As I don't yet have his album I'm listening to N'Sync's No Strings Attached

[Goth Girl]

Fischerspooner are my current faves... love a bit of electroclash!

and Red, I'll pretend I didn't read that... for the sake of your reputation, do you want your JT post deleted? ;)

[topol_sheap]

you know if you delete it, it will be worse for her.

JT.... prefer britney myself, but that's not for her musical "talent".

[Red Willow]

Well people, it's a free gig and he's sexy, plus he's looking for a redheaded British girlfriend. I still prefer Britney so my reputation's safe ;)
Tops- did you watch her Las Vegas gig when it was on five? I have most of it on video and she brushes up quite nicely.
Currently sifting through a mountain of tapes passed on to me from Deano and Mazrah so much music mixing!

[topol_sheap]

strangely enought no, I didn't catch that - I don't watch much telly as there's not much worth watching - about 3 hours a week is as much as I want to watch... (top gear, 24, and ER)

wish I'd seen the gig though smile.gif

[Lagula Longarm]

GG, I didn't have you down as a Placebo fan,Me and Mazrah are looking forward to seeing them at Reading later this year.
At the mo I am spinning Placebo's new album, the Yeah Yeah Yeah's & Eighties b-line mathbox disaster.

[topol_sheap]

oh, you're going to reading? fancy a quick meet up for a chat?

[Lagula Longarm]

Are you going as well mate ? Me and mazrah have got weekend tickets and a bed and breakfast booked (my days of sleeping in a tent are long gone)
:D

[topol_sheap]

yeah, was going to the sunday only, but the saturday line was too good to miss... we have our spies on the camp site.

Anyway, if you fancy meeting let me know smile.gif

[The Caller of the Black]

Listening to my old Radiohead stuff in readiness for their new CD coming out in a week or so.

[Lupa the Ancient]

Banging my head to the new Metallica album ... alongside The White Stripes latest.

Revisting my old Ozzy efforts after arranging tickets to see the old dude in early September....CAN'T BLOODY WAIT!!!! :D

[Red Willow]

Damn all u Reading bound people, I'm hoping to scrape enough money together for a day ticket 2 see AFI. Currently listening to Placebo, Rammstein and Hole, nice happy type music! smile.gif

[Lupa the Ancient]

got myself a copy of the Evanescence album today ... have any of you guys got it, and if so whats your opininons??

[Red Willow]

Haven't got Evanescence's album myself as yet but have heard it, *sigh* so pretty. smile.gif But the pic of her on the front is too pretty so I can't look at it. (YAY!! They're number 1!)

[Helmet Head]

Can't decide whether you guy's are really cool in your music tastes and I'm the strange one or viseversa...........I think I know how to solve this even though I listen to some pretty cool bands The Vines being my fave at the mo, but my top 5 ever list is a little mixed and reads like this: 5.Oasis 4.Aerosmith 3.Bon Jovi 2.Oasis 1.QUEEN (I realise Oasis appear twice, this is because although I really really like em QUEEN are still the greatest band ever plus I couldn't think of a number 5)
So Am I the strange one ?

Oh yeah and I've been listening to Elton John's greatest hits alot recently and I was slightly gutted when SClub split !

P.S.Who the holy hell are Evanescence ?

[ June 10, 2003, 04:19 AM: Message edited by: Helmet Head ]

[topol_sheap]

I'm gonna get flamed by the world for saying this, but I reckon they sound a little like Linkin Park...

currently listening to the new Stereophonics album (which I have been abused by all of my friends for - not sure why), and the new Metallica album, which the jury is out on right now as I have listened to it, but was p*ssed, and can't really remember any of it.

[Goth Girl]

Evanescence? From what I've heard of them (which isn't very much... OK, one song!), they sound like a metal band that've been smacked with the Goth stick a coupla times. I've heard worse, but not really my thang.

There's no new music out at the mo that grabs me... certainly not Mr M Manson's latest offering, Golden Age of Grotesque. Heard a description of him recently that made me giggle... Marilyn Manson is Bertie Bassett on acid!!

[Lupa the Ancient]

That sounds a good description GG... What I've heard is okay.

I've only heard the new Metallica album while under the influence, so like you Tops I can't give a recommendation as yet....

HH --- ELTON JOHN!!! You jest surely :eek:

[Helmet Head]

Afraid so A1, (he he A1) but although I like my Rock music I'm also partial to a ballad or two and who's better at ballads than EJ ?

I know it's sad but hey what u gonna do !

[topol_sheap]

I have a couple of Elton John albums in the house.. not bad at all:)

(disclaimer: they aren't mine though)

[Red Willow]

Not flaming ya Mr Tops but they sound like Linkin Park cos of the guest vocalist, normally it's just the girl.
ooh yay A1!! (ahem, don't own their album...) so...Elton John eh...
On that subject, I love I Want Love, but it could just be because Robert Downey Jr's in the video and it sounds like it's him singing.
Argh-I've become Placebo obssessed!!
(must stop rambling...)

[topol_sheap]

hey I only heard the one song, so I guess you'll have to excuse me on that!

[Helmet Head]

On another note I caught 1 of Placebo's new tracks the other day on MTV2, "Goodbye Ashtray girl" or something or other and it was pretty bloody good, not normally a Placebo lover but this track was defo top notch I may even buy there new albumb just on the merit of this 1 track (I'm only presuming they have a new albumb out not actually sure)

[Exsanguinator]

I is currently listening to Herb and his Tijuana Brass Band - Spanish Flea...

Stupendous!

[The Caller of the Black]

Currently playing to death, Hail To The Thief by Radiohead.

[topol_sheap]

Today, I'm listening to how the west was won by Led Zeppelin... not bad, not bad at all smile.gif

[Helmet Head]

Has anybody heard THE CORAL there a scouse band but absolutely CLASS well worth checking out !!! :D

[The Caller of the Black]

I mentioned The Coral on this thread a few months ago.

Saw a clip of them on last night's Glastonbury highlights. Top band and looking forward to the new CD coming out next month.

Just hope when they tour again, they play some larger gigs as earlier in the year they were playing tiny venues and tickets sold out straight away.

[topol_sheap]

wwo, they already have another CD out - it only seems like last summer they had a CD out... they are cracking mind you:)

Still listening to How the West was Won... could be about for a while!

[The Caller of the Black]

Just been knocking out some MP3 files for a friend in the States to give her a chance to listen to some decent music.

Been playing them back to make sure they sound OK and the list includes The Coral, both Doves CDs, 3 Oasis CDs, OCS, some solo Weller & Style Council, Belle & Sebastian, The Verve & Radiohead.

[Exsanguinator]

Today I is mostly listening to Tim Brooke-Taylor & Jeremy Hardy singing Tattoo's All She Said and Atomic Kitten's version of Eternal Flame respectively...

If you have no idea as to who Tim and Jeremy are then rest assured they are both cultural giants whose perspective on pop music adds depth of meaning and subtle nuances beyond the usual drivel.

Either that or they're just playing it for wasps.

[Red Willow]

I am currently listening to Good Charlotte in my head as I'm seeing them this weekend (secret gig-free tickets!!) Also making a t-shirt to wear that says Bad Charlotte, so look out for me as I think it's going to be shown on 4music or something.

[Helmet Head]

Wasn't Tim Brooke-Taylor one of the Goodies ?

[Exsanguinator]

Aye - that he was...

Today I've been listening to Medical Love Song, Sit on my Face, Every Sperm is Sacred, The Lumberjack Song and, of course, Spam, spam, spam, spam, samity-SPAAAAAMMMM!

Yay Monty Python!!! If I owned any of the vids I would now have to go and watch them ad nauseum. I'll just have to settle for playing them in my head!...What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?...
:D

[Exsanguinator]

NI!

[Helmet Head]

Is that an African swallow or the european varity ?

[Goth Girl]

I can take a hint Red! Email me your address and I'll send those two vids off to you straight away, rather than keep them with all the others til KeoghCon3!

Currently listening to my EBM playlist on my new iMac... the new speakers are soooooooo cool, lovely sound!

[The Caller of the Black]

Not listened to any Marc Bolan stuff for ages so I've designated today as T. Rex day.
Currently listening to the Electric Warrior CD Box Set.
Apart from the official T. Rex albums,got a stack of demo recordings, radio/TV sessions, live gigs etc, so it might evolve into T. Rex week.

[Red Willow]

GG-was only kidding! Thought I'd see whether you noticed. tongue.gif
HH- I don't know...ARGH!!!! :D
(I pretty much know them anyway! I have a life...honest)
For once I'm actually not listening to anything as I want new music so murdering the current songs I like by singing them myself.Get a couple of drinks down me and I'll probably demonstrate for you!

[Helmet Head]

Looks like Red's putting herself forward to be first up to do a bit of a star turn at KC3, just one word of advice though don't sing anything you truley love or cherish while that A1 chappy's about he'll only deform and contort it out of all recognition leaving you broken and empty inside....................................Alright so I'm being a tad melodramatic but some of us will never be able to listen to U2 again now thanks to A1 and Vic Reeves :(

Can't work out how never having to listen to U2 again would be a bad thing. ;)

Bolan-boogie still going on strong.

[Red Willow]

ooh-controversial mr.Black!
HH-what's wrong with Westlife and Britney, i listen to them all the time (heehee, u think i'm kidding!)
Actually, Bohemian Rhapsody is ALWAYS sung at drunken parties with my mates, including the obligatory Wayne's World headbang moment!

[Exsanguinator]

Always liked Queen - always will - but hated that bloody Rhapsody since '91...

Much prefer... Well, this could go on for a while!

Today, mind, I've been listening mostly to the Pistols...

[The Mad American]

OK, so being the new guy I will just jump right into this thread. Has anyone listened to "Tito and the Tarantulas"? They have done soundtracks for a bunch of movies (Dusk til Dawn, Desparado...)

They are kind of a trippy Tex-mex blues band. Very cool. The CD is hard to find but worth it.

Also, I would have to say Tool(saw them live about a month ago and they put on a great show) and The White Stripes are getting worn out in my player.

[Helmet Head]

I thought all Americans were mad ? :D

[Helmet Head]

This week I has mostly been listening to...Coldplay

[ July 10, 2003, 12:47 PM: Message edited by: Helmet Head ]

I wish most Americans were mad Helmet. Most of us are very calm and well adjusted. Maybe its the medication...

[Goth Girl]

In a real Nine Inch Nails mood today, but only have two NIN CDs with me at work, so have been repeating them ad nauseum (not that Trent Reznor could make me nauseous, he's too yummy!)

Managed to refrain from singing along to 'Closer' out loud...! smile.gif

[Exsanguinator]

I forgot to set up a playlist for the shop - though the octagenarians didn't seem to mind either Closer (or the Richards version either! lol)

[The Caller of the Black]

Been listening to North Atlantic Drift by OCS, The Kinks E.P collection and The Beatles' Red & Blue compilations.

[Lady Rissa]

My Music of choice this week is Alanis Morresette, Jaged Little Pill. :D Felt in a mood all week, and this CD is perfect for such moods. ;)

[Silver]

Great minds think alike GG, I have also been enjoying Mr Reznor lately!

[topol_sheap]

I don't recal anyone mentioning the best thing to happen to rock since Spinal Tap.... The Darkness, they f**king rock dude!... also listening to St Anger (Metallica) - it's growing on me, and they need to "flush it out"...

[Goth Girl]

Ah Silver, what wouldn't I give to really "enjoy" Mr Reznor! (time for a brisk walk methinks!)

And Tops, loves ya to bits, but soooo glad I'm not travelling up to KC3 with you... I can't stand The Darkness... would rather listen to the long, drawn-out death rattle of a weasel choking to death on it's own toenail clippings.

But hey, each to their own! ;) One of my favourite bands is a Swedish electro band that sing about Star Trek!!

[The Caller of the Black]

Again thanks to Mr Tops, currently listening to Thinktank by Blur.

[DC 1]

Just got the Evanescence Album "Fallen"

I'm not sure if I like it yet but as always, listen enough and you'll always find something that grows on you. ;)

[The Caller of the Black]

Dusted my bass and am currently playing along to best of The Jam.

Playing with a few mates in a pub tonight and have an hour to learn Tube Station, That's Entertainment and A Town Called Malice.

Bugger, I must practice more.

[topol_sheap]

oooohhhh:) The jam, very nice mate:) funy you shoujdl be listening to the Jam mate, I'm listening to Paul Weller:)

[The Caller of the Black]

Hey groovy, Paul Weller was in The Jam. tongue.gif

[The Caller of the Black]

Listening to a bit of Quincy Jones.

Because of all the mention of cheeeeeeeze on the board I've decided to up the rockfort quotient in the music thread...

I've been listening to the croon-tastic Sinatra, Martin & Davies Jnr... Ain't that a kick in the head?! tongue.gif

[topol_sheap]

Py,

Don't see how those can be cheesy...

I can here Brian Adams / Bon jovi (not sure which) on the radio right now, granted it's in the reception of the office, so I can't hear it too well, but does that get on the cheese-o-meter???

TOPs

[The Caller of the Black]

I wouldn't call the Rat Pack cheesy either.
Anyone dissing Frank usually ended up swimming in concrete boots or being part of the foundations of a Las Vegas casino.

[Goth Girl]

Still prefer Sid Vicious's version of My Way... tongue.gif

(Size 5 with a high heel for those concrete boots please Mr Black!)

[Lagula Longarm]

At the present I am mostly listening tp...
Kings of Leon
The Darkness
Kyuss
Mondo Generator
Electric Six
&
Eighties b-line matchbox disaster
:D

[The Caller of the Black]

Listening to Magic & Medicine, the new CD by The Coral. Fan-bloody-tastic.

GG - Sid Vicious was a joke. Glen Matlock was by far the better bassist in The Pistols. I could play better than Sid a week after buying my first bass back in 89.

In the heady punk days of 77, Sid got battered and smacked on the head with a bottle by Paul Weller after slagging of The Jam. If Sid would've gone up against Bruce Foxton or Rick Buckler, he would've got wasted.

The only problem with the song My Way is that the song publishers opted for lyrics written by Paul Anka and not a young up and coming songwriter at the time called David Bowie.

[Lady Louise]

Just been listening to - Evanescence

Very good.
:D

[topol_sheap]

Deano,

VERY good choices there mate ;)

one question though, been tempted by the Electric 6 album, but worried that they might just be a 2 hit wonder, and the rest of the songs wont be nearly as good... do enlighten me :D

TOps

[Lagula Longarm]

I can do better than that mate, if you have a mini-discman I'll send you a copy, so as you can make your own mind up :D
Just pm me your address.

Are you still on for Reading ?

[topol_sheap]

very much still on for reading... can only make it to sat/sun... would love to go to the friday, but it doesn;t seem worth it for a couple of bands...

question is, are you still up for meeting up?

[Lagula Longarm]

Yes mate, me and mazrah are going down on the thurssay night, i'll contact you that week about meeting :D
Your disc will be in the post in the next couple of days

[Silver]

Lately it's been Motorhead, Limp Bizkit and Greenday

[The Mad American]

Motorhead. Good call, I had to dig out my Ace of Spades CD and give it another listen.

Been listening to all things Ben Harper lately. I think it is because I have tickets to see he and Jack Johnson next week. BH is a GREAT live show.

Tool, Aenima.
Spoon, Vittario
The White Stripes, Elephant.

Anyone heard Maroon 5? I keep hearing their single on the radio and never catch the name but the song sounds pretty good. Any input?

[Raider]

Mostly listening to;
St Anger - Metallica (wonderful)
Permission to Land - The Darkness (inspired)
Audioslave - Audioslave (powerful)

[Goth Girl]

For any fans of Metallica and classical music, check out Apocolyptica (no idea if I've spelled that right!)... I spent a hazy, hot hour in Hildesheim Flugplatz listening to them... they play nothing but Metallica covers on cello and violin! Best served with vast quantities of Tequila Sunrise! :D

[ShadoeWolfe]

Listening to the Matrix Reloaded Soundtrack right now. Before that it was Linkin Park's Meteora.

[The Caller of the Black]

Listening to a bit of The Small Faces.

[Helmet Head]

Bought Magic and medicine by the Coral on Saturday and it's been playing non stop since.

[topol_sheap]

OK:) I have a few I've been listening to:

Electric 6 - Fire
The Coral - The Magic and the Medicine
The Thrills - So Much for the city
The Darkness - Permission to Land (still listening to this baby a lot)
Metallica - Master of Puppets

[Helmet Head]

Just incase anyones interested you can get tickets to see The Coral over at ticketmaster.co.uk as there doing a U.K. tour at the mo.
I seem to remember Caller from the black saying he'd like to catch them so I just thought it was worth a mention as a few people seem to like them.

[topol_sheap]

hey I picked up some tickets for my good lady and me last night :D and I know for sure Mr Black will be going... not in London like myself, but in good old Manc.

Bring it on... speaking of gigs, did anyone mention it's the Reading Festival this weekend??? I think they might have!

TOps

[Lagula Longarm]

Me and Mazrah are off to Reading tonight :D
We have also just got tickets to see Hundred Reasons at the ULU and the Darkness at Brixton Academy..anyway back to the thread..
We've been spinning..
the Music the music
Hell is for heroes neon handshake
the Libertines Don't look back into the sun
and were still playing the Darkness & Kings of Leon :D

which dsate are you going to the Darkness at Brixton... I have tickets to that too smile.gif

[Goth Girl]

I've been on a post-M'era Luna thing... all my favourite bands that played there

Neuroticfish
Mesh
Apoptygma Berzerk
Placebo (not my usual thang, but they were damn good live!)

[The Caller of the Black]

Currently listening to the World's greatest (and laziest) band - The Stone Roses.

[Lagula Longarm]

Tops, we are going on the friday night :D sorry I didn,t contact you at Reading but my mobile's battery decided to give up the ghost.
BTW, GG placebo were very good at Reading :D

[topol_sheap]

Deano that's fine smile.gif it was amazing though :D currently dying, but at least I feel clean again!

Roll on the next one smile.gif

[Goth Girl]

yeah Deano, I was surprised how good Placebo were live...

Saw a great new band (German of course!) at the weekend, SITD, so rushed out this lunchtime to buy what few releases they've had.

[The Caller of the Black]

A mate's lent me a self-financed 6 track CD of a new local band called Hooker. Good punky sound and the singer's quite cute. They've just signed up with a label so they should be releasing a full LP in the near future.
We're off to see them play in town next week to showcase their new material.

[Lupa the Ancient]

White Stripes, The Darkness, Linkin Park and Iron Maiden --- new album out Monday!!!

[Helmet Head]

This week I am mostly listening to the delightful and mellow tones of the Lightning seeds

[ September 04, 2003, 05:44 PM: Message edited by: Lord Peder the Helm ]

[Lupa the Ancient]

This week I am listening to Iron Maidens latest Dance of Death ... the ageing Metal Heads and friends of Shaun Hutson do it again with a classic piece of True Heavy Metal!!!

UP THE IRONS!!

[Goth Girl]

Goth Girl in English Band Shocker!

Yup, for the last few days I've actually been listening to music that isn't German!! I've known the band, Inertia, for a few years, and as I'm going to a party of theirs on Saturday night, I thought I'd better buy a couple of their CDs! Damn they're good (and the drummer's cute!)

[Lagula Longarm]

Lupa, if you ever get the urge to visit upton park(not that anyone in their right mind would) go to the west ham supporters club, and in the up stairs bar the wall has quite a few iron maiden gold discs on it....(not sure if thats good enough reason to visit upton park, but i thought you might want to know) ;)

[Lupa the Ancient]

Cheers Lagula .. I've been to Upton Park on a few occassions but as a visiting fan of my beloved LUFC .. unfortunately they haven't made me particularly welcome!! so ain't had the joy of looking in the supporters club.

Iron Maidens support of the hammers is legendary... and the only negative thing I can say about the guys!!!! I am a sad Maiden fan of long standing ... my tickets already booked for the December gigs in Newcastle, Sheffield and Mancyland..... Number of the Beast was my first HM album purchased in about 82/83 ... 20 years later and I'm still buying their stuff --- should I be applauded or chastised?!?!?! You Decide!!!

[Helmet Head]

I shall applaude you "applause"

Personally never ever heard more than 2 seconds of any Iron Maiden tracks(not planning to either), all I know about them is that they had a mascot called EDDIE that all the smelly's round are's wore on the back of there jacket's.

Just a point of interest I was just about 4 in 1982, does that make you feel like an auld bugger A1(not the puffy boy band) grin.gif

[ September 10, 2003, 05:20 PM: Message edited by: Lord Peder the Helm ]

[Goth Girl]

Surely if you were an Iron Maiden fan visiting the Upton Park area, you'd be better off going to the Ruskin Arms, where they started off. Although it is a dingy little sh*thole...!

[Sophie]

This will make EVERYBODY feel old... I wasn't even born in 1982!!! blush.gif grin.gif


Though I've loved Iron Maiden since I was 12! None of this nu metal shite for me!

I am indeed an aulde bugger LP ... but can still mosh with the best...

GG .. yeh I have intended to visit the Rushkin arms, but when ever I've been 'round that area I've had my Leeds shirt on, therefore for safety reasons ain't wanted to wander the streets of London looking, maybe if I get down to London next year on a Lumley meet up you could point me in the right direction....

Sophie .. LETS ROCK, I do have a confession, although seeing maiden a few times later this year, and Motorhead and Ozzy next Month ... I am off to Mancyland the week before KC3 to see Linkin Park..... ah well I do have to see how these youngsters perform ... grin.gif

[Lagula Longarm]

Mmmm wearing a Leeds shirt down the east end...probably not a good idea ;)

Oi Sophie I will be celebrating my birthday this weekend, and this old sod was born in 1962, but like Lupa I can still mosh (well sort of) infact I saw the deftones at the Forum last year, got a bit carried away moshing, and after about ten minutes I thought I was going to have a heart attack....

Listning to a bit of SOAD,Darkness and the Libertines at the mo.

[Nosgali Songsayer]

no prayer for the dying!

I am music. I've been working at different music stores for the past 5 years now. I'm currently at Musicians Friend. yay.

It looks like EVERYBODY is older than me wherever I go. I tend to get on better with people who've had a few more years under their belt. I was born in *my secret this, but what the hell* ... ... 1983 grin.gif

So lagula, you would be... (my crap maths at work) 48? ahh that's not old! 80's old!

fear of the dark, decidedly dodgy iron maiden album, but not quite as bad as the one that precedes it... my favourite Iron Maiden album has to be a toss up between:
Iron Maiden
The Number of the Beast
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son


I haven't listened to the for years, and I want to hear "the Phontom of the Opera" smile.gif

It's great that people still like em.... as my music tastes are moving more and more back toward the metal scene, I will have to revisit this and soon smile.gif

Thanks for the subtle reminder that they still exist smile.gif

Oh and did Bruce ever come back (I know this, but hey !)

Currently listening to:

Seasons in the Abyss by Slayer

[Lupa the Ancient]

Yahooo -- Quite a few Maiden/ Lumley fans out there...

Favourite album between Piece of Mind, Number of the beast, Iron Maiden and Seventh Son .... the latest is the best since Seventh Son.....

The EX-WOLFSBANE BLAZE BAYLEY YEARS ARE BEST FORGOTTEN!!! Can anyone out there remember Wolfsbane???

[Nosgali Songsayer]

awesome stronghand! that's their best album!

"Sport the war, war support
The sport is war, total war
When victory's a massacre

I have been playing the new Muse album absolution...not sure yet, there are a couple of decent tracks, but it's not as strong as Origin of Symmetry.

[topol_sheap]

Deano,

it's not fair.... I've been listening to Muse's latest also - I got free tickets to see them a couple of weeks ago (at the Islington Academy) - wasn't sure about any of the new stuff, but then went out and bought the new album the next day:) It does rock, but in places it's nearly as depressing as Radio Head.

Later

Tops.

ps... I'm still on a metallica bender:) got tickets, going to see them again! YEah baby yeah.

[Lupa the Ancient]

... would have liked to get tickets for the Earl Court Metallica gig.

Listening to my old metal albums .. with Motorhead at the Leeds Uni beckoning next week.

[topol_sheap]

Lupa,

How many tickets do you need for the earls court gig, I have 2 spare (that I will probably sell on ebay) standing tickets for the saturday (20th december) night... it's the last gig on this tour, so it should be a good one:)

email me off board if your interested: tom@shearer.org.uk

got my hands on the new xxxxxx album (don't ask how, it's magic) - xxxxxxxx, and so far it really is rather good:)

hmmm metallica, I'd love to see them live one day, but not any time soon as I'm broke :(

I've been getting into Depeche mode lately, never really liked them before until now,

Sophie

[Goth Girl]

Ooooh, huge Depeche fan... been a fan since I was 9! Songs of Faith and Devotion is my favourite album, ends up on the stereo pretty much once a week! Saw them live on the tour of that album, supported by Sisters of Mercy, which was such a cool gig! :cool:

[Silver]

Jealous! Love Sisters of Mercy and like Depeche Mode too. I have a friend who went to that gig and said it was fantastic, I am so jealous!

[Exsanguinator]

Today I've mostly been chilling to George Thorogood...

[Exsanguinator]

I'm in the middle of an 80s revival and picked up a couple of Sisters of Mercy albums...

[The Caller of the Black]

Ah The Sisters, good stuff. The Reptile House EP is one of the best 12 inch singles of all time.

Been listening to Ogden's Nut Gone Flake and The Autumn Stone by The Small Faces.

[Silver]

Lots of Rancid recently, now there's a bass player!

[Exsanguinator]

Just pickd up FOUR Bill Hicks CDs - makes me feel better about myself after listening to hours of and rolling on the floor in apoplectic hysteria to Andrew Dice Clay (for you New Yorkers out there!)

[Red Willow]

YAY!!!!!! Everyone must bow to Bill!!! *ahem, sorry...(damned boyfriend) :rolleyes:

Listening to my Britney album, was in the mood for random dancing around in a Britney style, well it's better than my Justin dancing...

Now where's my Dury & Blockheads CD...

[The Caller of the Black]

Are you Sexing to the Pistols as well? ;)

[DC 1]

Decided to get back to basic so I've put an assortment of music in the car:

Best of Dexy's
Best of REM
Nickelback
System of a Down - SOAD
Good Charlotte (Not you Red) ;)
Best of Beutiful South

Mix it all up and it makes for an interesting journey

[topol_sheap]

that's an eclectic mix you have there... been listening to Toxicity lately, a fine album... gotta love SOAD:)

OH, also on list:

Belle and Sebastian - Dear catastrophie waitress
Kinds of Leon - (Can't remember the name right now)

[Helmet Head]

I've recently been revisiting OASIS with a bit of Definately Maybe and What's The Story Morning Glory...

[topol_sheap]

good choices... might revisit them myself now smile.gif

[The Caller of the Black]

Listening to Jimi play guitar on Are You Experienced

[Exsanguinator]

Good choice Mr Black... Currently listening to The Who at the Royal Albert...

[The Caller of the Black]

The Who at the Albert Hall! When's that from?

Only live stuff I've got by The Who is the remastered Live at Leeds CD and the Isle of Wight gig, both from 1970, the BBC radio sessions and The Kids Are Alright soundtrack.

Dimmu Borgir - USA 2003
with Hypocrisy, Nevermore, Children of Bodom

12/03/2003 Salt Lake City, UT @Bricks

Nevermore in Utah a 2nd time! With Children of Bodom! I'm going to explode!

"For some there are no choices"

No more will to live, I see the world fade
No more hope inside, my life means nothing anyway
Just shades of gray, I slip away again

Feed me from the heart of your denial
The velvet sleep is conviction only fools know
Dry your own eyes, I can't sympathize
Plague your own dreams, I won't be following

Free me from this sphere of confusion
These tears of dust are the tears from one who knows why
Dry your own eyes, I can't sympathize
Plague your own dreams, I won't be falling

Fly beyond the dreaming, fly beyond our being
Turn and face the mirror, the answers come, clear as glass

Fly beyond the dreaming, fly beyond our being
Turn and face the mirror, the answers come, clear as glass

I still feel you now, you are the falling rain
The voice that stills the pain, I am the lover gone insane
I must be strong, for love burns ever long

yay!

[Helmet Head]

Spinning David Gray's White ladder album alot at the mo

[The Caller of the Black]

Seriously hungover today, so listening to the mellow sounds of Simon and Garfunkel, accompanied by lots of water and paracetamol.

[The Caller of the Black]

Just back from seeing The Coral at the Apollo. Top gig and spent most of the night stood next to Mani from The Stone Roses.

[Exsanguinator]

Iggy & the Stooges - Raw Power - top stuff!

[topol_sheap]

I wonder if the christmas stuff in the shop will be good this year?

Oh, I've been listening to the Donnie Darko soundtrack.. not bad...

I've been put through the Alex Parks album, which I have to say isn't half bad, she has a great voice, but she should have had more of her own stuff on the album. A tad mainstream, but not bad none-the-less.

Oh, and thanks DC for letting me listen to it in yer car.

[The Ginger Wookie]

Can't stop listening to System Of A Down at the moment. I bought all thier albums after seeing them at Reading on TV. Slayer, meets Armenian folk, meets Zappa. Serj Tankian is a singularly talented vocalist. Been a while since I went completely loopy on one band. Favourite track. Toxicity. How do you own disorder?

[topol_sheap]

Toxicity is a great album... I keep getting told that the the third one is better... I'm not sure... although Jetpilot is a fantastic song smile.gif

Favourite song? Psycho.

Were you at reading? or was ti on TV??? SOAD were mad at reading... as were the crowd if I recall..

[ December 09, 2003, 09:26 AM: Message edited by: Tops ]

[Lagula Longarm]

SOAD were without a doubt me & mazrah's favourite band and performance at Reading, they were awesome.

IMHO the first album is the best followed closely by the 2nd then 3rd, but that dosen't mean I prefer it, they all have great tracks on them.

At the moment I am listening to the Darkness, after seeing them for the 3rd time last Friday at the Academy in Brixton..They were Rock-tastic ;)

[The Ginger Wookie]

Yeah Jetpilot was going to be my favourite too. It's rare but I like virtually everything they've done. Steal this album is a collection of unreleased stuff, but it contains Streamline which has fantastic vocal work. It's always nice to find a new band which excites yer senses. I must start gigging again. Time and work permitting.

[Goth Girl]

Went to a fantastic gig on Sunday, a Swedish EBM band called S.P.O.C.K., and yup, they are total Trekkies, which is kinda geeky, but they are one of the funniest bands to see live... the singer did a striptease, and one of the keyboard players gave us a rendition of 'Don't Be Cruel'. So I've been listening to "Never Trust a Klingon" and "Dr McCoy" all week!

[Botch the Mad]

i have been on a punk/emo kick for months. lately it's pennywise, taking back sunday, misfits, social d, thursday, and the ramones of course. i throw the beatles and zep in to balance out every so often.

[Nosgali Songsayer]

I've been going through my cd's to find rippin guitar players for a buddy. So lately I've been listening to a lot of Cyning, Death, Aghora, and Nevermore!


Faith can twist reason and create truth
~Nosgali Songsayer

[Nosgali Songsayer]

ahahah, I put Cyning! hahaha, I meant Cynic, heh, it's early for me still!

[Botch the Mad]

i seem to be on a portishead kick lately. haven't been listening to anything else.

[Nosgali Songsayer]

If you're into portishead I have a Utah band you'll LOVE. See if you can find their CD online, if not...send me an e-mail and I'll get it to you. Anyway their name is "The Stove". Check 'em out!

[Botch the Mad]

i will. i'll let you know if i can't find it.

[The Ginger Wookie]

Talking of Portishead. I've just purchased a dvd containing the music videos of the Director Chris Cunningham. Contains classics like Windowlicker, Come To daddy, Bjork, Maddona, and Portishead. Some truly great vids on it. Come to daddy is a class piece of horror film making.

[Nosgali Songsayer]

I've seen that vid before! that come to daddy vid is nuts. that's really the only one I remember off there though...heh

[The Ginger Wookie]

Window licker is fantastically funny, especially if you watch the uncensored 10 minute version. Bootylicious women with hideous prosthetic faces. A dark and funny take on gangster rap videos. Each video is very different in tone though.

[Red Willow]

yay-finally have a copy of Friday I'm In Love, bought Galore by the Cure so had a Cure singles day with that and Staring at the Sea...
Also, finally got my hands on a copy of Golden Age of Grotesque by Mr Manson, what I heard before my CD player died was worth waiting for.

[Goth Girl]

I've been listening to a tonne of Mesh, as I appear to have been visited by the Mesh fairy over Xmas... four of their albums I didn't have (and two copies of "Fragmente 2"!). Gotta love those Bristol boys grin.gif

[Botch the Mad]

i have switched to a white zombie kick. i keep playing la sexorcisto and astro creep 2000 over and over.

[topol_sheap]

ok, picked up The Mars Volta (de-loused in the comatorium) while I was away - and so far it rocks (I like that term - a lot!).

It features the talents of Flea and John Friscante of Red Hot Chili Pepper fame, and some other dudes, I can remember.

I'm only about half way in, but it's great.

Later,

Tops

[The Mad American]

The Misfits Project 1950's disc. I can't seem to stop listening to that. Really cool, if you like the Misfits and old 1950's Rock and Roll.

[The Ginger Wookie]

Have just seen the video Eye for an Eye by Unkle. How insanely disturbing. It's gone to the top of my list for favourite promo video. japanese animation. Boy! those guys are good.

[topol_sheap]

GOt stuck in the pouring rain at the weekend (thank the lord i was in my car), and what did I have in the player? Well, The Beatles with their 1 album, and the Mars Volta, which I have to say seems to get better with each listen:) Hooray for the Mars Volta

[Botch the Mad]

let it be...naked, not only a fabulous title with words that i live by, but also a phenominal album. raw, powerful, base beatles. i love it.

[The Mad American]

Speaking of Santana Botch, check out this cool little experience. I went to see Jack Johnson and Ben Harper in San Francisco and Santana came out at the end of the show and played a bunch of stuff with Ben Harper and Jack Johnson, it was very cool.

[Lagula Longarm]

Tops did you catch the mars volta at the Reading festival ?
I thought they were superb, they played their whole set non stop, it was a truly amazing show grin.gif

wish I had caught them at reading... but I was too (errr) ****** to do anything else...

Speaking of nonstop sets, when I saw Stereophonics I was surprised to see them play 2 hours solid with a few words, and song playing into the next... was well worth it. Superb

Going to see the White Stripes next week so that should be good smile.gif

Now though all that's playing is The Mars Volta;) which has reminded me of somthing!

seeing santana is sweet enough, but to not know he was there is the best.

Right now I can't seem to get enough of The Doors and Jethro Tull!!!!

oh show me the way to the next whiskey bar
oh don't ask why!

I finally broke down and purchased The Darkness CD and I have to ask myself, "What the Hell was I waiting for?" They are good and crack me up at the same time..I like that.

I am also now on a heavy Tricky binge, Blowback is a great album...also PJ Harvey on "Broken Homes" is top notch.

Glad you like the Darkness album, people have to remember that they are fun and great entertainment. Me and mazrah have seen them live 3 times and have had a superb time every gig.

[topol_sheap]

hey man I'm with you, they are awesome entertainment:)

[The Mad American]

The thing that is cool about The Darkness, in my humble opinion that is, is that they are total camp but they are also good at what they do. If they sucked as musicians/songwriters they couldn't pull the camp thing off like they do.

My wife thinks I have lost my marbles but I had her singing "I beleive in a thing called Love" yesterday and she didn't even realize it until I gently pointed it out to her..so I think they are winning her over as well.

Similar thing here... My GF, thinks that most of the music I listen is crap, but since I've been playing the bass, she's been humming loads of stuff by metallica and iron maiden... now she'll even listent to them in the car, and sings along (with her own lyrics) to Master of Puppets - which is cool smile.gif

Any ideas how I might get her to like system of a down?

[Lagula Longarm]

I'm not sure about metalica Tops, but IMHO System of a Down are the best live band out there at the moment, so the next time they come around drag your missus along to see them .

hey what can I say - I've become a little obsessed, but I can guarantee the "mrs" wont come to SOAD... it would be a cold day in hell before she does that!!! I had to listen to the delights of Katie Melua for a bit in the car today - it's not really grown on me.

[Goth Girl]

This week, ah've been mostly listening to Depeche Mode. Can't be doing with all this metal stuff, I need to hear bleeping!

[Lagula Longarm]

Katie who ?.....My thoughts are with you mate, the sacrifices we make for our loved ones eh ;)

[The Mad American]

Ahhh Tops my man, I am also a Bass Player and to share a story of how I lured my then GF (now wife) to the dark side, after we had been dating for about a year and I had been trying to broaden her taste in music, one day at lunch, out of the blue she is singing Metallica's "For Whom the bell tolls"(this from a big Country fan, who was newly exposed to other types of music) I knew then I had created/found my future.

And then when she bought me a SWR Bassic Black combo amp for Christmas one year I was sold. I know, I know, I am a equipment whore.

I must be in the minority as I saw SOAD live last year and I thought they really blew. Horrible sound, sloppy show. I had been a big fan but that kind of put me off of them.
