easy enough, state what you're listening too

BUT give something about the song, be it personal experience, thoughts, general knowledge of something about the song etc. Basically give a reason why you're listening to it or like it.

/me is listening to Tool-intolorance-11-11-99

great workout song, and this live version is crisp. One maybe 4-5 tool songs Ill have on a rotation on my mp3 when running or working out.

Sympton of the Universe - Black Sabbath

Because I read that Hetfield said this was the heaviest riff ever and Im trying to see some simularuties between Hetfeild and Iommi as I also know he taught James some of his guitar techniques.

Its a shame some of Sabbaths recordings are quite old because they just lack that "up to date sound". If they were redone now they would really kick ass.

Right now, I'm watching/listening to Stevie Ray Vaughan And Double Trouble Live At The El Mocambo DVD. Specifically, Texas Flood. DVD was recorded in 1983.

This guy is amazing, and all of you who havn't heard him, GET MOVING j/k

But seriously, Texas Flood live is an amazing spectacle, guitar riffs and solos streaming from Stevie's heart to his fingers to the guitar, and that's just the intro, you've still got the rest of the song to go!!!

Next I'm skipping to the 3rd Stone From The Sun/Lenny double whammy, , what can I say, the sheer emotion that someone can get from a guitar amazes me.

Listening to Led Zeppelin 6/21/77 LA. Although '77 wasn't the greatest tour for Zeppelin performance wise, these guys are on fire this night. This is why I listen to live shows 99% of the time.

And the taper nailed this recording. He did better in 1977, than nearly all of the tapers of the 2003 Metallica tour. As a taper myself I gotta give much respect to Mike Millard.

The other thing I was listening to was Weezer doing an acoustic live cover of Britney Spear's Baby hit me one more time. Brilliant. I'm trying to learn it on guitar...hehe

this morning in the car i had on....

METAL CHURCH - Metal Church

Fantastic song and fantastic album. I have always though Metal Church to be very underrated, and their live album is class. shame i haven't found more bootlegs from them around.

[Diarmuid]

Its a shame some of Sabbaths recordings are quite old because they just lack that "up to date sound". If they were redone now they would really kick ass.

Honestly, that's the most pathetic (not to mention blasphemous) thing I've ever read. Some people have absolutely no appreciation for a classic sound. Sad.

At any rate...on with the point of the thread.

NP: Rubicante - Cursed By Conscience

Part of a 9 song demo that a local kid put together. Did the rhythm, lead, bass guitars, and vocals himself, as well as the drum programming. Excellent riffage, and lyrical content that's a lot more meaningful than a lot of current metal bands out there, old and new school alike, which is something rather unexpected considering that the songwriter is only 22. I have a feeling that if this guy gets together an actual band, starts doing gigs and gets the right kind of management, he could go pretty far.

I'm listening to Kiss - Paris - September 27, 1980.....an excellent show, well taped and performed. A lot of people don't like the disco-like Kiss.......check out some of the boots, the songs are played 100 miles an hour, most excellent. Also watching the Sabbath dvd - Never Say Die......Diarmuid is right......even semi-slamming Sabbath is punishable by death or extended forced listening periods of Celine Dion...whichever is worse.

Oomph! - Augen Auf

It's a german song, it sounds a little like Rammstein. The lyrics are about playing hide-and-seek it;s just funny!!!

[Toxic Avenger]

Oomph! - Augen Auf

It's a german song, it sounds a little like Rammstein. The lyrics are about playing hide-and-seek it;s just funny!!!

That song is pretty strange if you ask me I just can't stand those lyrics

But on to the topic. Earlier today I listened to End of the Century by the Ramones for probably the 7000th time and it still doesn't cease to amaze me. Yeah, I know, they're oh so untalented and their songs are so simple and boring and btw...are they actually brothers?
This is just one of their greatest works no matter what anyone says. After listening to it so often I still find some more things throughout the songs that catch my mind in a different way. Some may say it's overproduced, I think it was a great experiment. And with Danny Says, Chinese Rock, Let's Go, I Can't Make It On Time and All The Way they have some of their best 80s songs on that album alone.

NP:Metallica - 20.SEPT.1986 Birmingham, UK; The Odeon
