The Music thread

[Nebu]

I was just trying to figure out how he could consider SRV a guitar wanker.

He's too busy for my tastes.  Too many fills.  That and not every song needs a guitar solo, thank you very much.

[HaemishM]

[Nebu]

David Gilmour or Alex Lifeson would be my preference.  Both can play the hell out of their instrument, but know when less is more. 

[Ingmar]

SRV isn't anything like those other guys to my mind so I am also in the WTF NEBU camp on this one. That said, he's also not really my favorite (SRV, not Nebu).

You know who doesn't get enough love? Skunk Baxter. For his guitar solos, not his weird post-rock GOP military consultant thing.

[Sky]

I liked SRV when he was called Buddy Guy.

Speaking of not getting enough credit. Also, Eddie Hazel.

Anyway, I like Yngwie's more straight classical stuff, he comes off the rails when he tries to write his own. A lot of bluegrass bands do that, too. Great classic covers and then some weird new age shit originals.

That video made me giggle almost as much as when someone says "Yngwie Malmsteen" which translates into "I'm so full of myself sometime my ass leaks."

Srsly.

Maybe it's not a metal core band but I'd strongly recommend them.

Right on, Lurker Dude, that's exactly the kind of stuff I am looking for.

look at these:
Arch Enemy
In This Moment

[Signe]

I really like Arch Enemy a lot.  If you're interested in some good alternative metal with female vocals, try Otep.  They're one of my favs.

Otep

[hanys]

ooo man. That was awesome experience. I love when woman sing using growling.

[Engels]

Really enjoyed some of the Otep songs. She pulls off growl metal well, and its nice that it isn't -all- just growl metal, and there's some good variety in her song writing. Also, her production values are through the roof.

I wish this guy was promoting this better, this album should get made. I want to play bass on it.

[Tale]

Grunge revival. In a good way. From the same city as Tame Impala.

This song made me take notice
This song is heavier and got noticed by NME (UK music newspaper)
They also do a kind of delta blues rock thing

Mike was the singer for the Derek Trucks Band, and currently sings for Scrapomatic and does backups for Tedeschi Trucks Band. He's an amazing blues/soul singer. Highly recommend this one.

Volbeat

[Engels]

I don't get it, Signe,  you post Otep which is very exciting, and then this, which strikes me as pretty mainstream vanilla?

[Mrbloodworth]

Volbeat is awesome.

[Nebu]

Volbeat

Why does this remind me of Christian Rock?  I kept expecting them to break into a chorus about Jesus.

[Nevermore]

I don't get it, Signe,  you post Otep which is very exciting, and then this, which strikes me as pretty mainstream vanilla?

Because people can like a wide variety of things?

[satael]

Volbeat has some nice songs like Hallelujah Goat and Devil Or The Blue Cats Song. Reminds me of the new(ish) Misfits.

[Merusk]

Volbeat /is/ pretty awesome.

They sound vanilla because they're from Copenhagen, I figure.

New GWAR Album Dropping. First one with out Cory Smoot mixing and writing a good portion of them.

Also if you like Gogol Bordello, you should check out Kultur Shock:

Kind of a more metal flavored take on similar music.

[Signe]

Bad quality heavy metal drama from one of my favourite bands.

Candlemass - Solitude (Live @ Roadburn, April 16th, 2011)

This should be be waiting for me at the shop this friday (as a Double gatefold white vinyl with etched D-side). I find it hard to believe that it's over 25 years already from when the album was originally released (1986) 

[Sky]

I thought that said Candlebox for a second.

[Wasted]

The new Fatboy Slim song is fun

Also, the song at the end of the last episode of continuum caught my attention

AU4 Everyone is Everyone (and Everything is Everything)

That's got a Ministry like quality to it. Sorta.

Man, Fields of Nephelim really have changed over the years.
