My relatively newbie-curse is rearing its ugly head again: have we already discussed music?

Let me know before I write a friggin essay on music.

You're not wrong, Swithin. Have you heard the the DM tribute album, 'For The Masses'? It is so fucking cool it's untrue.

There's a beefed up version of Enjoy the Silence by Failure, Smashing Pumpkins doing Never Let Me Down Again, and a deep version of To Have and To Hold, by Deftones. A band called Locust do Master and Servant as a male/female duet, a much more soft and slinky version. Very sexy. Although I have to say that Rammstein murder Stripped, and The Cure were disppointing with World In My Eyes. I would love to hear Nine Inch Nails cover DM, maybe Strangelove, or A Question of Time, or in fact Shake the Disease.

Oh Yes. And Hooverphonic do Shake the Disease, btw. I was disappointed with half the songs, and it seemed that the lyrics were slightly altered in most of them, but some of the songs are... err... 'wicked awesome'. And yes, Rammstein's Stripped... where the f*** did the 'down to the bone' go?

There's also an ambient tribute to DM, but I haven't picked it up or listened to it yet.

Swithin, I'm moving to Bellingham because I have a friend there who is starting up a software engineering company who I will go and work for. I also have two bothers who live out there, one of whom actually lives in Seattle--he just graduated from Univ. of Wash (or is it Wash State there in Seattle?) with a masters in architecture. So I've actually been in Sea. a couple of times.

BTW, i found out my dream gig the other day... I was looking at an info book about the Cure, and saw that on the Faith tour, they were backed at one gig by Joy Division... What a line-up... (although a tad depressing, perhaps).

This might seem like the same as my only other post (in fav. Song lines in OT2), BUT
The best live band IMO is The Grateful GodDamned Dead, (thou I never saw them :o( I got into them a year after JG died)
The best current live band is Phish (in 11 days I see them for the 15th time!!!!)(and then the 16th thru 20th times ;op )
The best studio band is the Beatles.
Then there are the bands like Allman Bros; Medeski, Martin, & Wood; Widespread Panic; Hot Tuna; Deep Banana Blackout; etc. etc...
(most of these bands make you get up and boogie, like there is no tommorow, while also giving life to the term JAM)

The eighties may have rocked, Nynaeve, but listen to some of the lyrics from the music of the late sixties. That was when the music truly had meaning :)

Hi all, went to Glastonbury Festival recently, and David Bowie's 2-hour set crammed full of old stuff with a few new songs jammed in was outstanding - the atmosphere was so good, everyone was just singing every word and the field just seemed to go on and on, full of people cheering and dancing.

David Gray was exceedingly cool as well, and as soon as I got home, I bought the new album - wow it rocks!

I enjoy many different genres of music.

While I was reading Storm of Swords I happened to have the "Jar of Flies" album by Alice in Chains in the rotation. Now, I realize that Alice in Chains doesn't bring to mind a sound you'd associate w/ reading, but I assure you, the second track on that album, called "Nutshell" is a very mellow piece. It's got a great sound to it, and the lyrics fit many of the characters in a very general way.

The lyrics are:

We chase misprinted lies
We face the path of time
And yet I fight
And yet I fight
This battle all alone
No one to cry to
No place to call home

My gift of self is raped
My privacy is raked
And yet I find
And yet I find
Repeating in my head
If I can't be my own
I'd feel better dead

You can here a clip of the second verse of the song here:

I own that album, and am a big Alice in Chains fan...try the song "Brother" as well, but that is from Sap - an all acoustic or mostly acoustic EP. Nutshell rocks though - haunting!

Didnt want to discussd music, but since the board is down, why not? My favorites R little bit out of fasion, I think.
1. "Savatage" - power metal band, try the opera 'Streets", than U will start to ask for them. Most characteristic for them is the use of classical music in the tracks.
2. "Heroes del Silencio" - Spanish rock band, start with "Entre dos Tierras" and than we talk agaon.
3. "Metallica" starting from "Load". It is pretty much power metal.
4.Bruce Dickenson
5.Bonjovi
6.Megadeath

I can write other as well, but this are my most favorite.
