Fave band of all time The Cure
Best Album The Stone Roses, The Stone Roses.
Favourite Song, Disarm, the Smashing Pumpkins.
Most exciting musical moment, standing next to Roger Daltrey in the toilets of the Crumbles cinema in Eastbourne and humming my generation to which he smiled and said seeya mate, he is very short.
Best live performance seen, Queen at Live Aid, I cued for 24 hrs to get tickets at 18.
Hardest song I can play well on the guitar, the solo for Bird of paradise by Snowy White.

Bagpipes, obviously.

Lollopoluza at lake fairfax was maximum jacked with RHCP, Minsitry, Ice Cube, Pearl Jam, porno for pyros etc etc crazy fun.

1. Savage Garden

The rest: Eminem, Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, Nirvana, Linkin Park and various others.

That was older and it reminded me of cypress hill (hmm I wonder why) and made me think of a tribe called quest, wu tang clan and ronnie size.



Like Pantera or Clutch........psst a really good older setup is andrew loyd webber phantom and les mis........I need a wheelchair showing my age after these posts.

Honorable mention needs to go to Lords of Acid and blood hound gang (cuz your pretty when I'm drunk...: )

I'm kind of a fan of lots of Genres though. Rap, Country, Pop, R & B. As long as it's not computer noses with the same 2 sentences repeating or growling into the mic, I usually like it.

Yes, I love old school metal like that. The entire body of work from Lloyd Webber is beauteous in nature. The Phantom of The Opera is my favorite musical production of all time - it never fails to make me cry.

Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me is also excellent, and kind of underrated. 'The Perfect Girl' is a great song off that album. Robert Smith is in the top tier of singers, songwriters and guitarists. He also played with Siouxsie and the Banshees for a while and was great with them.

Those two are also my favorite Cure records of all time.

Siamese Twins destroys me

One of my favorite songs is from Converter: Cloud Eye. Takes a few moments to build up and then it gets delicious.

Those of you who like The Prodigy and metal (of any kind) should be happy with the "industrial noise techno" genre, as I call it.



I almost don't like ANY music with singing/voices in it. Hate it. It interferes with my thoughts.

But I do like some. Just heard this a few days ago and I liked it:

-kizV91zQ_0




Also, like Backfire, I do enjoy some video game soundtracks. Here's a great semi-chiptune from undertale:

ijrzwMLd218




Next, a new-ish genre of dance/club music called Jungle Terror gets me going. It's a fusion of electronic dance music and tribal beats. When people got tired of Dubstep, Brostop, and Breakstep in the clubs, they need a loud, noisy, bumpin' successor that could still get the drunk and high idiots going. Enter the Jungle Terror genre.

Wiwek is the pioneer.

Here's a good example from Juyen Sebulba & Lil Texas:

r7vz9_lEa34


Here's something from Wiwek:

I like Clark. Really enjoyable. Weird, though. Here's something different for those who like weird music:

More modern bands I love Biffy Clyro and the Editors.

I saw them first really early eighties, family had moved down to Brighton from south London and they were from Crawley in west sussex. They played the Brighton dome and later the centre a few times. Damn, lucky man, I'd kill to see them in that era! There's a great punky version of A Forest from that time:

Apparently they still got it even now, so I wanna catch them live eventually.

I saw Deafheaven when they came to my city, they put on a great show! I love when George Clark stage dives on their sets - the crowd goes wild. Sunbather is my favorite album of theirs followed by Ordinary Corrupt Human Love.

Thanks, I'll have a listen, shortly!

This is a good thread. Like to see new music posted that I haven't heard before.

Music is my main passion. To go into any detail about my music taste would just get really absurd really quickly. That's why I'm probs just gonna wait until people post stuff I really like and then comment on it.

Sufjan is awesome, I still need to get into him more but Illinoise is such a good album, the John Wayne Gacy tracks are heartbreaking.


DDM, if you like instrumental music, I might suggest Grails. They're one of my favourite instrumental rock groups, they kind of fuse rock and psychedelia with medieval overtones, I find them really great to write or work to. Idk if it'll be your bag, but check out Deep Politics (which, ironically, is what this thread is not about, for once) and see what you think.

Thanks for the rec, will do.

Also, yes, there was this South American instrumental metal band a gal introduced to me when we were dating, a few years back. I'll try and find them. It's good stuff. And it wasn't so noisy that it prevented me from thinking.


Still waiting to get off this testing call so I can listen to some tunes.

Was never really a fan of Slipknot, but I've roadied for them 3 or 4 times now and they're probably the coolest act I've met, Chris Martin from Coldplay is a really nice guy too, he asked for a rider full of booze and he doesn't even drink, he just gave it all to us lot.

Saw Bowie live at Glastonbury about 20 years ago, that's the pinnacle for me.

Here's a guy who is in cool metal bands but it's his solo bass project

A few now that I think about. Not as many as some guys I work with who have been doing it for about 40 years in some cases.

Little Steven (Silvio from The Soprano's) and The Disciples Of Soul,
Slade,
Damon Albarn with his supergroup The Good, The Bad & The Queen,
Stereophonics,
Austrailian Pink Floyd (I know they're a tribute act but they're bigger than a lot of signed, original groups),
The Ting Tings (let me play on their drum kit... not a euphemism),
Ladytron,
CKY (Bam Margera's band),
Enter Shikari

and

last and definitely least... Lostprophets (I'll forget about working with them)

There are a few others too, they're the biggest probably. Looking forward to getting back into it, hopefully around October, Covid willing.

Other than Lostprophets, of course, that's, uh... yeah.


Still, Slade, tho. I take it Slade was after Noddy Holder left? Did you speak with Dave Hill much?

Oh yeah, Noddy hasn't fronted Slade since 1992 or something like that. Dave is a funny guy, I've had a good laugh with him about Bob Mortimer's portrayal of him in those sketches he did.

Back in the day Stevie had a radio show called Little Stevies Underground Garage that i would listen to on my hr long ride home from work. Outside of the tunes, half the show was pretty much just him telling stories from his life.

He always seemed like he would be a cool guy to meet in real life, have a few drinks with and listen to some stories.

You're used to not actually laying eyes on a band member either before or after a gig TBH, but as far as he is concerned though he always left straight away after a gig, the other guys stuck around a bit, chatting with tech staff/personal friends/crew, they even grab a couple of bits of kit themselves IIRC. A band member leaving straight after a gig isn't anything extremely unusual though, we all just assumed he was a diva or something, but in hindsight he may have left for nefarious purposes. Pretty sure there was a gig with an overnight run to another gig, for example, Manchester-Liverpool, Manchester-Birmingham, Nottingham-Sheffield, where he left afterwards and drove back to his home in Wales to stay overnight and join up at the new venue the next night and the techies and his band mates were doing that tutting, head shaking thing as if this wasn't the first time. At the time I wondered what would compel someone to do that, I mean, almost anything goes on a tour bus, drugs, hookers, etc. Then after the story about him broke, I stopped wondering what his motivation was.

Steve Van Zandt is a bit of a perfectionist, he has really high standards but it's his tech crew that have to deal with that side of him. He's best spoken to at the end of a good gig as he's very focused beforehand and takes each and every gig seriously, genuinely loves what he does though.

That sounds terribly vile. Thanks for the story and input, Samhain.

My favorite song in the world is The Kid's Aren't All Right . It always makes me think what could have happened if I got pregnant in High School.

Anyone a fan of metal here? Oh yeah, Devin Townsend's (bald guy I linked before) work is probably more or less my favorite metal these days but metal was the first genre of music I really started listening to, and even though my tastes have expanded greatly I still listen to a lot of metal.

Been listening to a lot of Gojira lately:

4ISzKpukWFs

And Kreator, now that their mostly full discography is on Spotify:

I was also super huge into folk metal when I was younger and still listen to a lot of it:

It's hard for me to answer questions like this. I listen to music from a ton of different genre's, it depends on the mood.

I did have only 2 band t-shirts in my life: The Doors and a Jimi Hendrix "Are you experienced".

You strike me as a hippy kinda guy, Surtur.

I listen to a lot of music from that era.

But also the 1980s. And even some classical music. Or some old timey stuff, Glenn Miller is the shit.

I like the big band stuff:

Cheers buddy, high praise indeed. My stories are nothing compared to other people I work with, One guy (who has actually been mentioned by name in a couple of autobiographies) helped Courtney Love flood the streets of Liverpool with LSD she had supposedly gotten from her father, then chucked her skanky, drunk arse out on the street (they were squatting together) as she pi**ed herself.

My stories are nothing compared to other people I work with, One guy (who has actually been mentioned by name in a couple of autobiographies) helped Courtney Love flood the streets of Liverpool with LSD she had supposedly gotten from her father, then chucked her skanky, drunk arse out on the street (they were squatting together) as she pi**ed herself. hahaha now that is a ****ing great story.
