haha. i was just stating my opinion about u2. i also like how you abbreviated my name.

i was indeed talking about layla and other assorted love songs. i love it. live at the fillmore blows it away though.

Woo. I just downloaded 4 albums.

Albert King & Otis Rush - Door to Door
Phish - Hoist
Phish - A Picture of Nectar
Widespread Panic - s/t

[QUOTE]Sold out? Please, I don't think U2 was ever much of an underground band, their music has always sold. Their sound isn't that different either so I'm not sure why your saying their sold out. Sure they were in an iPod commercial... but Bob Dylan was in a Victoria’s Secret commercial, has Bob Dylan sold out?[/QUOTE]

I was referring more to how they originally used their music to voice their political views, and now their music and their political views seem like two completely different entities. And they haven't really explored any new regions musically or lyrically in the past ten years...it's as if they no longer need their music to satisfy themselves politically or artistically, they are just putting out albums to make sure they stay in the spotlight. I dunno, that's sorta what I meant by "selling out," but I don't really know what I'm talking about once I actually have to start backing up statements.

Btw Jacaranda...are you a girl?

Actually, in the past 10-15 years they branched out to unlistenable dance-pop, then moved onto far more basic music. What's pretty bizarre to me is how ever since about their third or fourth album, every song they've done is basically about faith and religion.

Never listened to U2 really except for Vertigo, and I didn't care for it much.

Hehe. He looked so lost and confused in that video.

A dead sexy one at that!

Seriously, his name's "Mitch."

np: The Pogues - Blue Heaven

Haha, he's not a chick.

Even though he listens to Madonna and Shakira :p

:X

How is Picture of Nectar? The song Stash is magnificent, but I'm not sure I'd like the whole album.

np- Mississippi Half-step Uptown Toodleo

I haven't listened to it yet. I will soon though.

I'm up to 6 Phish albums and 6 Widespread albums :o

You know thats one of the few Clapton live cds i don't own. How is it compared to the Rainbow concert? (I'm only comparing it to the Rainbow concert because its the closest live album to that one I belive)

:amaze: pigonthewing! haven't see nyou in a while!

[QUOTE]Phish - Hoist
Widespread Panic - s/t[/QUOTE]
These are both great albums. Down With Disease and Julius are my favorite songs off of Hoist.

[QUOTE=TheDMV]:amaze: pigonthewing! haven't see nyou in a while![/QUOTE]

I know aside from that I've been extreamly busy with school and applying to collage, and getting a job and working, I've also been sort of on a creative bindge with music and have been playing and writing an awful lot. For now though I'm satisfied with all I've written and don't have a job anymore so I should more or less be a regular again for now.

[QUOTE=pigonthewing82]You know thats one of the few Clapton live cds i don't own. How is it compared to the Rainbow concert? (I'm only comparing it to the Rainbow concert because its the closest live album to that one I belive)[/QUOTE]

I know PF is a huge fan of it. I remember him saying that it is the best Clapton playing he has ever heard multiple times. I really want it, and I really should buy it because I see it in Coconuts all the time but it's always like 30 bucks. I should just spend the money and get it though.

I love the Rainbow Concert and it's from shortly after Derek and the Dominoes broke up, but the songs aren't really extended and jammed on much. I remember looking at the times of the songs on Live at the Filmore and some songs were stretched out to 17 or so minutes. So it's probably much better than the Rainbow Concert. I've decided I'm definitely buying it the next time I go cd shopping, whatever the price is.

np- Pigs (3 Different Ones)

Anyone here like Iron Maiden? I think we've asked this before, but meh. I like Maiden.

Yeah that will probally be my next cd purchase. I agree with the Rainbow concert I wish there was more jamming. With so many great musicians playing that night an extended jam could have been amazing. Not to say the album isn't bad, I think Clapton's playing is great, I just wish there was more of it.

I have all their albums I think. They're all pretty good, but I dislike Virtual XI a lot.

I just downloaded Billy Breathes also.

I love iron maiden.
Steve Harris is a genious on bass.

I love maiden.
One of the best metal bands IMO.

I love Iron Maiden. Steve Harris is such a beast on bass.

I've got Killers, The Number of the Beast, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, and Piece of Mind. Killers and The Number of the Beast are probably my favorites.

You know I usually can't stand bands like Iron Maiden, but for some reason I don't mind them. I don't own any of the albums or intend to, but when I hear a song of theirs I usually think its good. From the songs I've heard they seem pretty talented.

[QUOTE=PinkFreud]whatever. i still think bono is a douche bag. and i strongly dislike the music u2 makes.

and it annoys me when you abbreviate musicians with musos. musos?[/QUOTE]

It annoys you? Fark dude how do you survive navigatin this weird internet thingy if you can't handle a few abbreviations?

I don't know if you're being serious or not but I certainly agree with it. They look nice but play and sound like crap.

Yes, Maiden are good. They're a step and a half ahead of less melodic metal.

[QUOTE=Mister Blue Sky]I agree. Bill Gates and Bono? WTF?[/QUOTE]

Seriously! When I saw that cover of Time mag, those same three letters were flowing through my head.

My friend who's in my band is a die hard Iron Maiden fan. Some of their music is growing on me, pretty cool stuff...

The number of the beast is 6. 6. 6...

Dayum, I only have TNOTB, which is good.

Piece Of Mind has The Trooper, which may be my favorite metal song of all time.

np: The Kinks - Father Christmas

I might get to go to Ottawa this summer :D:D

There live albums are sweet aswell. Although in the Trooper solo, he doesn't play it like in the studio version :X That pisses me off.

Yeah, RNR, Warlocks suck.

I just ate a Dominos medium pizza. I'm fat.

[QUOTE=JonG]I just ate a Dominos medium pizza. I'm fat.[/QUOTE]

I just had Indian food. A few bites of that makes me feel like I'm a blimp.

mmmmmmmm... Dominoes. I prefer Little Ceasers though.

Warlocks do suck. That [I]might[/I] be why they are cheaply priced..

Yeah I think Clapton plays great but I would have loved to see like a half hour jam. I wish Ron Wood and Clapton traded off a few solos and Steve Winwood was more active on organ. I love the concert, but with that kind of talent, a long all-out jam would just be awesome.

I really like Billy Breathes. All I have by Phish is that and Lawn Boy and they're both great. Lawn Boy is probably a little more consistent but Billy Breathes is really good too. I used to have A Live One which was awesome but accidentally deleted it from my computer:angry:

I should get more Phish.

The Trooper is a great song. I don't own any Iron Maiden albums, but my brother has a few that I listen to.

I like Maiden.

you know whos underrated? Bruce Springsteen. Born To Run is one of the greatest albums of all time. The songs Born to Run and Jungleland are just epic.

omg :eek: we were just discussing Springsteen a few days ago. Only a few of us turned out to like him.

Born To Run = epic.

Just because we never talk about him in here doesn't mean he's underrated. He gets enough attention....

Cockfight Champion: Go away.

I swear I've told more people to go away in the last few days than I ever have. :lol:

Glad to see you back, Pigsonthewing.

its the best playing ive heard clapton do. seriously. he rips it up. and there's plenty of long jams to enjoy. great album. definitely an essential.

cockfight champion: it annoys me though. like when people say fark, though that might just be an aussie thing.

i have brave new world, death on the road, iron maiden, killers, live after death, piece of mind, powerslave, somewhere in time, and number of the beast. so take that!

and piece of mind is where its at.

w00t another Springsteen fan. I think that makes 3-4 of us now. All of Springsteen's albums from his debut to The River are excellent. I can't pick a favorite. Born to Run is a great album though. Then Born in the USA is a pretty solid album too, but just doesn't compare to his prior albums. He's only released one really bad album in his whole career though (Lucky Town). I'm pretty fortunate that my parents are huge Springsteen fans and have multiple copies of all his releases. My parents even got to see him live a few times, including once from the second row.

^^Make that 4-5 of us. I [I]love[/I] Bruce. The man is a classic american songwriter and performer not in the tradition of the greatest ever, but amongst the greatest ever. Soulful, inspired, rockin' and thoughful all at the same time, he has it [I]all[/I]. A commanding stage presence that few can match, and a concert performer that upon seeing him will change your idea of what good rock n roll is and can be, I really cannot say enough about how I feel about him. His work has touched me on a very deep level that only a handful of other performers/songwriters have been able to equally do. And as corny as it sounds, I am truly grateful for it.

Yeah I need to see him live. My parents talk about how amazing he was all the time. I was alive the last time they went too, but only like 5 years old so they didn't take me:angry:

He'll be touring again in a couple years hopefully. I missed him this last one.

Do you have the new Born to Run 30th Anniversary Edition? If not, I'd highly recommend it, it comes with a 2 and a half hour DVD performance from '75 that is just awesome. Bruce was a legendary performer. I found it for 30 bucks too, which was a pretty good deal. It also has a documentary of the making of the album which was pretty cool too. Good stuff.

I'm sort of a Bruce fan. living near Philadelphia, and going to the Jersey shore every summer, it's hard not to like him. Everyone one around, including radio stations, are such huge fans that I've had an oppurtunity to hear a good portion of his catalog w/o ever buying an album of his.

I like Bruce. I haven't picked up any of his cds, but he is on the classic rock channel on digital cable a lot and from what I've heard from there hes pretty good. Whats a good place to start with him I should pick up one of his cds
