Jazz band try-outs tomorrow.


/chatters teeth.

I think I have sparked a movement to play Frank Zappa in Jazz Band.

The drummer from the Jazz Band is in my music theory class, and I did a report on Montana, and I guess we realized that three of us liked FZ, and today one of them brought in St. Alfonso's Pancake Breakfast (the teacher was like :confused: )

The bassist and other trombonist that are in my English class also showed intrest in the idea, when the subject was brought up because one of them had a shirt on that said "Montana"

The best part is that the teacher was telling us about how we were only listening to the "tip of the iceberg" of CR, like Led Zeppelin and such, and she doesn't even know Zappa :lol:


EDIT: what do you play, Krabsman?

We had a music night tonight.

Guitar. I know my chords, but I'm just overall nervous.

What was your report about? Like what area's of Montana? Or what about Montana I should ask.

Ok so hopefully a Jethro Tull expert is online right now because I want to know if "Crest of a Knave" was the Tull album that beat out Metallica's "..And Justice for All" for hard rock/metal album of the year at the '89 grammy awards..

No, I believe it was Rock Island. Crest of a Knave came out in '87.

EDIT: Nevermind, it was Crest of a Knave.

EDIT2: Does anyone else really dislike the Dylan/Baez duets on Live '64? It just doesn't sound right to me, she has a nice voice and all, but it just doesn't mix well.

Ok good. Because I got Crest of a Knave the other day, and listened to most of it today, and can't figure out how it classifies as metal lol.

The actual award was Hard Rock/Metal, and Tull has put out hard rock albums as well as the prog/folk rock stuff. I haven't heard Crest of a Knave, so I don't know which it falls under.

jpj's avatar reminds me of the cover to [url=http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/dre700/e761/e761503bxam.jpg]Herbie Hancock's [i]Head Hunters[/i][/url] for some reason.

:lol: It kinda resembles it, in a way.

Head Hunters is a great album.

Oh, it mos def is.

I've been on kind of a jazz kick lately, so yeah.

np: Common - They Say (well, this ain't jazz, but whatever)

Well it's a great album. I'd say it's harder than most of their stuff, but it really doesn't qualify as hard rock/metal. It's folkish, and kind of progressive, and unfortunately a couple of the songs have a bit of an 80's pop influence in them. But overall it's a fantastic album.

I think I finally have a favourite Rolling Stones song. Wild Horses just sounded incredible to me today for some reason.

[QUOTE=Badmoon]That's good. The yellow skin, and small eyes made me think he looked like Mao.

Compare them

you racist bastard.

i have iron maiden, brave new world, killers, piece of mind, powerslave, somewhere in time, and number of the beast.

[QUOTE=leppermessiah]I think I finally have a favourite Rolling Stones song. Wild Horses just sounded incredible to me today for some reason.[/QUOTE]

That's a good one...Tumbling Dice, Happy, and Get Off Of My Cloud are my faves right now, though

np: Bob Marley & the Wailers - Roots, Rock, Reggae

Ya Tumbling Dice sounded really good to me today too. I really find myself enjoying the, gospel-like, backing vocals in that song.

NP: Jurrasic Park Theme (hehe to be brutally honest)

I love how easygoing Tumbling Dice is, from the rolling guitar to the gospel background vox, it's a very laid-back song.

NP: Bob Marley & the Wailers - Could You Be Loved

Sweet, I finally got that second Ten Years After album downloaded.

hmm. i think my favorite stones song is beast of burden.

I want to check out Crest for a Knave, then get and Justice and play them back to back.

[QUOTE=leppermessiah]I think I finally have a favourite Rolling Stones song. Wild Horses just sounded incredible to me today for some reason.[/QUOTE]

I love that song.

[QUOTE=PinkFreud]hmm. i think my favorite stones song is beast of burden.[/QUOTE]

Great song. Rich and compelling. :D

I think I'm going to jazz up my Lennon-Hitler. It's pretty crappy at the moment.

haha. i have terrible paint skills. example: my avatar.

ive been listening to the flaming lips a lot lately. anyone else listen to them?

They're a little too weird and cutesy for my liking, but they have their moments.

Heh, Charlie Chaplin, now THAT'S scary!

No, i've never really listened to the Flaming Lips. What other band are they like?

i'm really not sure how to describe them or who to relate them to.

yoshimi battles the pink robots pt. 1 is an addictive song though. i think im going to play it for my dorm's next open mic night.

Sounds like a lot of fun. I can't wait to go to University next year.

I've never understood what is so great about the Flaming Lips. But then that may just be me.

ugh, Monday i have try-outs with my band or this show at this coffee place, the drmmer signed us up without asking us yesterday, we havent been able to play for like 2 months because my guitars been ****ed up and our bassist has been staying at his dads house in florida,im still rusty becuase i havent played with anyone for so long and i dont like finding out things at the last minute,we dont know what to play and were probbaly gonna sck because we only have one day for all of us to practice together(saturday)

It would look like a beatnik if you gave him a berret

[QUOTE=Jacaranda]What was your report about? Like what area's of Montana? Or what about Montana I should ask.[/QUOTE]

It's a song by Frank Zappa, we had to pick a song to make the class listen to, and then we had to write a little thing about it, which actually just involves copy/pasting bio's off of the internet

Oh... I knew that, I feel stupid now :upset:

I love classic rock to, many great guitarists came out from it all.

[QUOTE=leppermessiah]No, i've never really listened to the Flaming Lips. What other band are they like?[/QUOTE]
They're pretty hard to classify. Some people just call them alternative, some experimental rock, or neo-psychedelia. Really they are all of those things, and Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots is a masterpiece, though it took me a while to get into it.

I'd say they're alternative with hints of psychedelia. I love them.

Favorite Stones song? Gotta be Gimme Shelter.

[QUOTE=Illmatic]I've been on kind of a jazz kick lately, so yeah.[/QUOTE]

Me too. I downloaded Miles Davis's Kind of Blue a while back, and I got a John Coltrane album out of the library (as well as a Tom Waits album. Tom = the man) yesterday.

Jazz is good.

np: The Clash - Spanish Bombs

You ever listened to [I]Bitches Brew[/I]? That's my favourite Miles album, anyway.

And what Tom Waits album was it? I've only have [I]Swordfishtrombones[/I], but I've been meaning to check out more.

Mule Variations. And the John Coltrane was [I]Giant Steps[/I].

[QUOTE]I've been on kind of a jazz kick lately, so yeah.[/QUOTE]I was just thinking the exact same early today when I was listining to [I]A Love Supreme[/I]. :cool:

Not one note wasted on the entire album. Just perfect......
