Somewhat else. Although I have heard of maybe 4 of these groups, I couldn't identify anything by any of them.
I like classical music af all kinds, opera, jazz, folk, "classic rock" from the '50s-60s-70s, very occasionally current pop music.
If, from this, you guess I am an older guy, you're right.

I have over 20 gigs of mp3's on my hard drive, and I listen to all kinds of things. I have everything from Jack DeMello to Slayer, Kenny Rogers to Steve Vai, Elvis (Presley and Costello), Leonard Cohen, Metallica from the cool era as well as the more current metrosexual phase, and some Classical stuff. One of the greatest tragedies of the modern age is that we'll never hear the brilliant music penned by Mozart, Back and Handel played by the men themselves. It seems unfair really- I always wondered how their renditions of their own masterworks would sound.
I think anyone who has a fondness for Classical music should at least try listening to Evanescense. Amy Lee has a fantastic voice, and despite the modern sounds and stylings, the music follows some distinctly Classical tones. Truly one of the best bands of the last ten years IMHO.
I'm also glad that Carlos Santana has A) become popular again and B) stopped attempting to write his own lyrics. The man speaks with a six string, and should stay there. He's absolutely brilliant, and nowadays when he teams up with other big name writers/performers, the music that results is mind boggling. Look at "Smooth" and "Just Feel Better" as examples.
On the other side of the coin is another guy I consider a musical genius, despite his complete musical ignorance. The infamous John Fogerty, heart and soul behind Creedence Clearwater Revival, the man who knew three chords, but couldn't tell you what they were, was perhaps one of the greatest musician of the modern age. He couldn't tell you why something sounded right, but the man embodied the spirit of music, playing from instinct, and rocketed CCR to the top. The three other guys, one of whom was his brother, were jealous and kicked him out, then later upset because he was continuing to outwrite and outsell the rest of them, tried to sue him for sounding too much like he did when he was with CCR. The courts, in a rare display of intelligence, pointed out that since he wrote all of the CCR catalogue of songs, it was no wonder he continued to sound like CCR. They also pointed out that there was nothing immoral or illegal about sounding like oneself...
And, if you like Death Metal, and have a good connection, check out www.totalrock.com which is a hardcore metal station in London. One of my best friends built their site and still occasionally appears on the air alongside his wife, who is one of their top DJ's.
Mind you, above all else, the one song that gets me rocking (mostly because I can't dance!) is Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf. I think that song embodies a whole generation of what rock was about. Sure it doesn't make much sense, but it sounded good, which I think was the whole point at the time.
The closest modern song to embodying that feeling (and remember, I am not exactly young myself, so "modern" may mean different things to me than you!) would be Seasons in the Abyss by Slayer, which I am very disappointed they didn't play live when I saw them last year. Of course the concert was great, and it was cool to see Dimebag before he was killed. I never cared for Pantera, but since I like all the other stuff he did, I guess that means I just wasn't a Pantera fan. Stretching his wings with some solo projects before GodSmack really allowed him to show what he had, and i think that was pretty cool.
Plus, as a major KISS fan, I really had to agree with his taste in music!
Like I said, my tastes are pretty broad! I even have an old, uncensored version of Cop Killer, an album that was banned from Canada. Quite frankly I think Ice T is a hypocritical, money grubbing moron who exploits his fans, but then I guess many of the more "hardcore" rappers are the same way. And I think his band, Body Count was an extension of him, and that they were no talent hacks who only managed to have any success by pretending they were something they could never hope to be. Which is why we still listen to the Allman brothers, and yet half of you are asking who the heck Body Count was! If you want to know more, ask Ernie C next time you go through Drive Thru...
Not that I have anything against rap. I'll admit, I wasn't a fan for many years, but nowadays as I tend to explore the music more than the pathetic messages, some of it is pretty darned cool. Coolie, who I always thought was an Ice T wannabe, has turned out some pretty good stuff, as have some other Old Schoolers like Maestro (formerly known as Maestro Fresh Wes), LL Cool J (anyone remember Mama said Knock You Out?) and perhaps one of my all time favorites of the genre, Big Daddy Kane.
Lately I have been into what I like to call Cross Genre Covers, which are becoming much more frequent. Celine Dion covered ACDC's You Shook Me All Night Long, Ozzy covered Rocky Mountain Way and Stayin Alive, Hayseed Dixie has done Country and Western versions of many Rap and Heavy Metal songs, Primus has always played silly versions of other people's songs (you will die when you hear Gin & Juice from Snoop Dogg played on a banjo!), and even Pat Boone, the old crooner got in on the action, releasing an album of Heavy Metal meets Lounge Lizard covers from ACDC, Alice Cooper and Metallica. I also have a bunch of covers of 60's acid rock songs, TV themes and popular music from various punk groups, many of which are from Jello Biafra's new band... although their name escapes me right now, you may remember him from the DayGlo Abortions...
Can you tell that music is one of my great passions in life? No? Go listen to Kenny Rogers and the First Editions song Just Dropped In to see a whole new side of the Gambler and you'll see what I mean!

Celine Dion covering ACDC:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FONt47Z0KZg
For those who like bubblegum pop (about the only music I am not fond of, because it's generated by soulless machines), here's Brittany Spears covering one of the Runaways, Joan Jett's I Love Rock & Roll:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAOu3ZbKKCU
Kinda pathetic, but I've seen worse covers.
Speaking of which, here's some of Pat Bonne's covers:
Enter Sandman, Metallica:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUTw8osIopc
Ronnie James Dio's (guy who replaced Ozzy in Black Sabbath) Holy Diver:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUTw8osIopc
Then there's the good stuff- Hayseed Dixie covering my favorite Queen song, Fat Bottomed Girls:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJKZUE33Mk4
Then there's just good old fashioned straightforward rock that really no one should object to, done to perfection by the guys who wrote it, recorded it, produced it, played it and made it what is it. Often covered, but never duplicated, bands like Rush, Aerosmith, Rolling Stones, KISS and Lynrd Skynrd will always be seen as the real definitions of art in the modern age. Many bands come up with groundbreaking music, but then disappear when that sound becomes mainstream because that's all they have. Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, Mick Jagger, Paul Stanley, Geddy Lee all manage to survive in an industry that's all about something new and shocking. And, they do more than survive... Every few years they come up with something else that puts the world on it's ear... like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icD8mBBeIwU
or this:

As for the video files, I have a separate hard drive dedicated to those! :P I used to keep them all together but then I'd accidentally select a video file and put it on my mp3 player and wonder where all the space went...

Ugh... I don't know where to start...
My music tastes vary widely. I seem to go in phases as to what type of music I listen too. For a while it may be country, then rap, then heavy metal, then back to country, etc.
My three favorite bands of all time are Danzig, Staind, and GWAR. I saw GWAR do an interview on a tv show about 20 years ago and thought they were funny as hell. I've been a fan ever since...
I really dig female lead singers... expecially female metal singers :)
Here are some other bands/musicians I listen to, in no particular order. (I'm sure I'm going to forget a few)
Soulfly, King Diamond, Mercyful Fate, Craig Morgan, Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton, Kool Moe Dee, Fat Boys, LL Cool J, Commodores, Bootsy Collins, KC & the Sunshine Band, Sly and the Family Stone, Slayer, Gizmachi, Chimaira, Type O Negative, Otep, Silverchair, System of a Down, Killswitch Engage, My Chemical Romance, Demon Hunter, Korn, Carl Douglas, Big and Rich, Boston, Bush, Coheed and Cambria, The Crisis... ugh, you get the picture :)
-
tha santander/aerosmith link is awesome i,ve never heard that before, thanks for the link mate :cheers:
has anyone else ever wondered how aerosmith had such gorgeous daughter?
-
I was recently turned on to Lacuna Coil by a friend of mine. All I have right now is one song called To Myself I Turned. Pretty cool stuff. I'm also wishing Billy Talent was around when I was in high school. Songs like Nothing To Lose really embody my teen years, which is probably why I am in such bad shape these days!
It's really funny to look back on some of the older, "risque" stuff from our generation and before. I can see how guys like Elvis and Jimmy Dean were considered "Bad Boys" and see how they would be considered almost pillars of the community by today's standards! I also find it fascinating to go to concerts like George Thorogood & the Delaware Destroyers or Ted Nugent, guys who embodied the worst society had to offer, and see your local bank manager, insurance agent and financial planner there, grooving along!
I think Hendrix would be proud to see what has become of "Devil's Music" and how it's being seen and appreciated for what it is nowadays. Of course what amazes me is that each generation had to grow up with the stigma of their music being "evil" and yet they don't seem all that tolerant of the next generation's music. Seems to me there's something about learning history and repeating it that they missed?
Oh, and I forgot one of my other all time favorites... just a little band from England you may have heard of... THE WHO! I listened to nothing but My Generation for about a week straight once! I spent months at a bar doing nothing but drinking every night and playing the TOMMY pinball machine until closing. To this day I think it's a pretty close contest between how much I spent on beer, and how much I spent on the damn game. Pinball wizard I ain't! >:D
Female metal singers? Like Lita Ford or Joan Jett? I had my first sexual experience to "Hate Myself For Loving You." Luckily there was no one around to experience my lust for a woman on an album cover! :P I still think that Lita Ford's videos for Close My Eyes Forever with Ozzy, and Kiss me Deadly rank up there as some of the absolute hottest moments ever recorded on film, and given the amount of pornography available nowadays, that's really saying something!
Steven Tyler had a gorgeous daughter simply because he sleeps with supermodels... although there's a funny story about that too. Apparently Liv's mother got around, and for the first few years of her life, Liv's last name was Jagger. :oops: Easy mistake to make I guess!

pretty ecclectic mix there mate :)
your right there is something sexy and special about female metal singers, especially if there singing a vulnerable song and can really comunicate the emotion of the lyrics, thats why Shirley Manson is my all time favorite (although i do have a soft spot for sheena easton too on that front :-[)

No idea what's going on with her- I haven't heard anything in a dog's age. The Canadian Music Industry is odd though. Look at Alanis Morrissette... she's been living off the success of Jagged Little Pill for what, 15 years now?

I don't own a bar... yet. I worked security at the biggest bar this side of Montreal. In European terms, that's the biggest bar this side of Moscow!
http://www.thedome.ca/
It's actually 4 bars, three restaurants, a dinner theatre, and probably some other stuff that's been added since I left, all in one complex. On a typical Friday or Saturday night, we'd have about 3,000 people at any one time.
Alanis had another album after Jagged Little Pill, and a pop hit before it as well called Never Too Hot, but neither were memorable. Canadian musicians for the most part work menial jobs for years, make a hit album, go on tour, then go back to washing dishes for a few years until they can afford to record another album and do another tour! It's sad, but very few musicians here actually make any serious money, or even a passable living playing music. That's why Alanis, Brian Adams, Celine Dion and the greatest Canadian Musician who ever lived, William Shatner :P all moved to the US!
Melissa Auf Der Mar is the same way. She may be from Montreal, but she moved to the US and joined a US group.

Before that, she was on a kids show called "You Can't Do That on Television" which was an amusing sketch comedy show that dumped slime on anyone who uttered the word's "I Don't Know."
The industry is getting better for supporting musicians. It's easier to be a small timer in almost any industry nowadays than it ever was before, so many groups are doing better than before, but there still isn't the same kind of money that there is in the US.
My house is on fire and I grab 5 CD's huh... this wilkl have to be hypothetical as I gave most of my CD's to friends after ripping them all to my hard drive! I'd say the autographed ones from the Mudmen and Sepultura, Joe Satriani's Surfing with the Alien, Ace Frehley's Loaded Deck (I'd prefer his KISS solo album but I only have that on cassette!), the Stevie Ray Vaughan Tribute album with BB King, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Jimmie Vaughan and many more, and I'd cheat and probably snag my Frank Zappa DVD because it was a gift from a SOSAK member, and Zappa was one of the greatest genre hopping musicians that ever lived.

He always had the absolute hottest women, and they never appeared as trashy as everyone else's... Plus, getting Vai to fill in when regular Whitesnake guitar player Adrian Belew broke his arm... well I wish I could just call up guys like Vai and say "Come on over and let's crank something out..."
Vai's solo stuff is good, but he's at his best when playing with others like Satriani, Whitesnake or Zappa. I love the bit about 2:58 where he just drops his custom 7 string Ibanez on the ground and starts playing with all ten fingers...
And that was back in the days before Ibanez regularly cranked out 7 strings!

Or when Iron Maiden celebrated their 20th anniversary, which was ten years ago...
I have more of their albums than most of the members of the band do...

They had to wear shoulder pads so they were just as protected as their heads with all that poofy hair!
There were several "other guys." I always liked Bruce's predecessor, Paul D'ianno, but Bruce Dickinson brought them to the height of their success. I doubt anyone but the Air Raid Siren could have taken them that high. For those of you who don't know, Bruce Dickinson, lead singer of Iron Maiden was called the Air Raid Siren because he could scream louder and longer than almost anyone else in the world at the time. In those days, he was also ranked #7 in the world as a fencer. That guy that replaced him (Billy Blaze) when he went out on his own was amazingly unimpressive, and I didn't care for Bruce's solo stuff after Tattooed Millionaire. I was glad when he went back to Maiden, but disappointed to see that the songs were pretty well all written by Bruce after that. I think Steve Harris, who wrote 90% of Iron Maiden's catalogue was a much better writer.
To see Bruce's trademark screams, see 2:40 in this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5Snehl2bAk&mode=related&search=
That was just a little one. In the next one, try holding your breath as long as the scream lasts! It starts around 1:20.

Bruce an airline pilot now, how cool/scarey would it be to hear he was going to be your pilot! :o

Ohhh yeah I was going to post my 2 best songs from Iron Maiden you guys are to fast and know a lot of good stuff.
Ok maybe you don't know or don't want to know this , but the Sound track for
McGyver :multi: show in Brazil was the song Tom Sawyer from Rush.
Maybe if you play de song and watch the McGyver clip you can say ; yeah why
not...Even the Voice ( Brazilian guy ) would go with Richards looks...
-
32 wasted years amigo! If I'd spent my time learning useful things, I'd probably be driving a much nicer car by now!
Interesting to learn about the Tom Sawyer thing though! I didn't know that, but then I have never been to Brazil either- something I hope to remedy someday! Something about Rio de Janiero just seems to call to me, you know? Maybe it's the weather, maybe it's the festivals, maybe it's the scantily clad women, who is to say? :P
One of these days I'll buy a nice boat and sail down the coastline until I have to start sailing back up the coastline!

Def Brazil it's Very nice for all the things we all know...
But for sure you or anybody else have to be very carefull because all the
bad things that "could" wrong....But if you know someone local that you
can trust , it will be one amazing place to visit. BTW Im Brazilian from
Rio de Janeiro and my old home was only about 15 Min from Copacabana,
Ipanema it is also a short ride from there....
I don't know if I should do this but I will post here a Link of a Brazilian singer.
That song and clip has a lot to do with my old life there...all the places you guys
are about to see ; it's where I used to live untill 13 years ago...
The Big statue on the top the Mountain is the Cristo Redentor ( Jesus Crist )
and he has the opem arms to Wellcome the visitors....
The song : Menino do Rio ( Boy from Rio "Boy" or young man from Rio )

As for the sexy gothic girl, she,s a cgi image i found on the net, but she imbodies most of the things i,m drawn to in women, dark, mysterious, vulnerable and slightly unhinged :o

Reminds me of a joke on one of my favorite cartoons, Trippin the Rift. Darf BoBo is at the pharmacy and the pharmacist asks if he needs anything else. BoBo asks if he has anything to shut his wife up and the Pharmacist says "If we did, we couldn't keep it in stock." :grin:
Is it any wonder there are few, if any women on this forum? :P

Hey, cool thread going here! I'm kinda wierd when it comes to music, I don't really have a natural ear for music, but one of my best friends through high school was a music nut with an incredible ear and he love talanted improv most of all. He's the kinda guy that would hear six notes instead of a strum and every instrument seperately instead of just a song. So I kinda picked up his taste and style of music-listening, and like to give any style or band a chance. Goth/Metal etc. isn't my preferred style, but I can appreciate when there's some obvious talent, and can enjoy or at least respect much of it from that standpoint. I'll have to check out some of the numerous links here and widen my music experience a little!
Here's a few of my favorites if anyone's interested! :)
Phil Keaggy: My all-time favorite. He's now fifty-something and still tours, I've seen him 4 times and was amazed each time. He's been recording albums since the early seventies and is on over 50 by now. He's an amazing guitarist (and an OK vocalist) and really shines when he's by himself with one of his accoustic guitars. He often uses effects and loops to create a multiple-track song (rythym, precussion, bass line) without skipping a beat. Another amazing thing in concert is how he plays with multiple tunings, sometimes changing in the middle of a song!
(Edit: I forgot to add piece of trivia- He's missing a finger on his right hand, which you can see in the second clip. It happened in a freak accident when he was a kid. Another trivia note is that he guested on 2 song on a POD album.)

Another band I've been enjoying recently is a Northeastern Brazilian band Sal Da Terra. (My family lived there for 4 years when I was a kid, and we still have friends down there) I have about 6 of their CDs, which were actually bought from down there, and I can't find much at all by them on the interenet. Here's a terrible video of YouTube that must have been taken off an old digital camera, but it gives you and idea of their style. Their CD's are properly recorded, but this is just them playing around while sitting in hammocks (very traditional Norhteastern furniture :D )
The backyard version of Quem Me Valera:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXOpXwL2qHU
A third (and my previously-mentioned-friend's favorite) is Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. He's a crazy banjo player, but does much more than bluegrass (more like jazz, but not really that either) and surrounds himself with other amazing and slightly eccentirc musicians. The bass player must be one of the best out there.
Big Country:

The thing with banjo's thats always impressed me is the speed of the player's thumbs :o!
Guitarist probably move there thumbs a third as much!

I love classical, some jazz, and some classic rock; but my all-time favorite band is pop-rock, so:
Pop-Rock
Classical
Classic Rock
Jazz
(in order from most to... least most)
