He got the CD obviously. He said he hasn't listened to it yet.

It's amazing though.

Thanks for the recommendations Illmatic.

Ugh, I'm bored of Nick Drake now :P

I just listened to all his 3 albums, but stopped halfway in "Five Leaves Left". I think I like Bryter Later the best.

np: Old & In The Way - Pig In A Pen

Ah. I see. Either way, it's great.

[QUOTE=FenderBender92]hey krabsman, did you ever get your fender back?[/QUOTE]

Yeahp.

(Second page save)

Every half year or so I feel this uncertain need to make a mix for my friends (nice guy, I am), to open up new doors musically. This time I've got:

1. Maggot Brain - Funkadelic
2. Too Much Monkey Business - The Yardbirds
3. Minor Swing - Django Reinhardt
4. #2 on Friday Night in San Fran - Di Meola/McLaughlin/De Lucia
5. Beck's Bolreo -Jeff Beck
6. Vampire Blues - Neil Young
7. Pressure Drop - The Maytals
8. I Don't Know You - New Riders of the Purple Sage
9. California Stars - Billy Bragg & Wilco
10. Octopus - Syd Barrett
11. Draw Your Breaks - Scotty
12. Wasn't Born to Follow - The Byrds
13. Airbag - Radiohead
14. What'd I Say (Parts 1 And 2) - Ray Charles
15. In the Aeroplane Over the Sea - NMH
16. Christ for President - Billy Bragg & Wilco
17. Jesus on the Mainline - Ry Cooder
18. Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley

My friends usually really dig my mix CD's but this is the most diverse mix I've ever assembled so I'll just see what happens.

I just listened to [I]Grace[/I] and it was ok. The only track that truly stuck out was "Hallelujah". I enjoyed it so much I added it to my mix.

/voted Danzig :p

The song "Grace" is awesome aswell..

I found Jeff Buckley kind of boring when I listened to Grace and Halleluiah. His voice is decent but i don't know why everyone thinks his voice is AMAZING. I might try and listen to his stuff again later, it's just not my thing.

Such a great song. I didn't know until recently that Jimmy Page played rythem guitar and produced that session.

He disputes that he wrote it. Of all the nerve! He has the fu[COLOR="White"]c[/COLOR]king nerve to claim he actualy wrote something for a change! What a prick.

Edit: All the hair metal I've heard is [I][U][B]really[/B][/U][/I] bad.

Same. Especially Motley Crue.

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]I wouldn't consider Third Stone from the Sun to be pscyhadelic. Psychadelia requires having some aspect of dreaminess for me, and I don't get that from that song. Still a great song, though.[/QUOTE]
I never said it was psychedelic I said it was my favourite.

*confused*

As for hair metal I dont mind Van Halen now and then but yeah for the rest of it nothing appeals to me.

[QUOTE=Schyma]He disputes that he wrote it. Of all the nerve! He has the fu[COLOR="White"]c[/COLOR]king nerve to claim he actualy wrote something for a change! What a prick.[/QUOTE]

Weird. Page wrote like 98% of all Zeppelin tunes so I don't know why he would need to argue that he wrote "Beck's Bolreo".

I'm not a fan of hair metal. Bands like Ratt, Poison, and Whitesnake are interchangable. I can't tell the difference between them. I love Van Halen but wouldnt classify them under hair metal. They sound like classic rock to me durring the DLR era.

[QUOTE]Weird. Page wrote like 98% of all Zeppelin tunes so I don't know why he would need to argue that he wrote "Beck's Bolreo".[/QUOTE]Yea, but he stole 65% of the material he "wrote".

Is GNR hair metal?

Yes GNR is basically the definitive hair metal band (Besides Motley Crue or Poison)

Yea, but there pretty unique in terms of hair metal, and besides, songs like Civil War and November Rain arnt products of a staright Hair Metal formula.

[QUOTE=Schyma]Yea, but he stole 65% of the material he "wrote".[/QUOTE]

I agree with that about thier first two albums. I know for a fact that Willie Dixon sued Zeppelin about the song "Whole Lotta Love" that it was stolen from Dixon's "You Need Love."

GNR hair metal? It's debatable. I haven't listened to enough of thier stuff lately to dictate that.

GNR are not hair metal. They are hard rock at it's finest.

Did they just get lumped into that scene since they were from LA where all the 80s glam metal bands were from?

Lol, I LOVE that video. I dunno, I tend to agree with Hard Rock. Pft, anyways, lets not get bogged down with genres - Sweet Child is still one of my all time favroute songs ever.

I like the solo and thats about it :)

Excellent and fun solo to play.

Sweet Child O' Mine is an awesome song. Definatly one of my favorites to play on guitar. I really dig the solo Slash plays during that latter half. It sounds more hard rock than glam metal.

Indeed. Wah solos++

Even though, Mick Mars used one..

No, the Sweet Child O' Mine solo. It's excellent for a band I don't like.

I can play that decending run without a pick. *grin*. Sounds funny, but its possable. I just love EVERYTHING about that song. Tone, intro, solo, chorus, lyrics... everything.

I just bought:

-[I]The Psychadelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators[/I]
-[I]Born Under a Bad Sign[/I]

Converse.

That song has to have one of the best hooks ever. Tone, notes, tempo.... love it. :thumb:

I like GNR. I wouldn't call them that glammy, I'd say Hanoi Rocks and Poison and Van Halen were more glam. GNR was still hair metal, though.

np: Sweet Child O' Mine :cool:

Nice and nice. Born Under A Bad Sign is short and sweet. I plan on buying it sometime.

I wonder how a Mick Mars solo album would turn out... or does he already have one?

He looks like he was embalmed but hasn't fallen over yet.

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]
p.s. Mick Mars is a fantastic blues guitarist

[/QUOTE]

I read/skimmed an article/interview on that. It didn't quite capture my interest because I'm not so wild about the Crue.

[QUOTE=Woodstock][I]The Psychadelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators[/I][/QUOTE]

If you could upload this eventually it would be great. I already have Easter Everywhere and Bull of the Woods.

I have that.. you want me to upload it?

[QUOTE=TheDMV]I read/skimmed an article/interview on that. It didn't quite capture my interest because I'm not so wild about the Crue.[/QUOTE]

I did as well. It was a Gutiar World issue a while ago with Jimmy Page on the cover :). I read part of it and Mick said he started as a blues guitarist but was forced into the glam metal stuff when he moved to LA.

[QUOTE=JonG]I have that.. you want me to upload it?[/QUOTE]

Sure. Want anything from me?

Are you also StreetLightRock?

Doesn't he have your old avatar?

:x

Dr. John tomorrow oshi.

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]No, his illness has pretty much limited his do anything. He's the only band member not to take on any outside projects. He does have a few solo guitar pieces dotted through the albums, including the stunning 'Bittersuite' on Quaternary.[/QUOTE]

Aw... I'll give that song a listen, i havnt heard it, although Mick Mars is definately one of the most underrated guitarists ever.

^ Dude, i was DVG, and i can't stand that name anymore. 's what you get for signing up by hiting 3 random letters on the keyboard.
