Anyone remember this past year's Super Bowl Half-Time show, featuring Prince? I barely ever pay attention to those shows, but I thought it was pretty cool that Prince repaid the Foo Fighters by covering "The Best of Me" during the show! That was an awful nice tip of the cap on a big a$$ stage!


Prince rocked....that was the first time in years that i actually watched halftime.

Speaking of Buckethead I just found this little gem.

Les is the schiznit.....i've seen him many times, and have never been disappointed.

did you check out the Oysterhead side project? i saw them when they swung through on the tour. Lake Trout opened, and they both put on a great show.

Kyuss - "Sky Valley" and "And the Circus Leaves Town" were great stoner albums.

I've only seen and heard a few Oysterhead songs on youtube. I love armys on ecstasy. Whats wierd is i mainly listen to Metal, but I love anything that has to do with les Claypool.

My guess (though i might be wrong) is that you are in your 20s. Master of Puppets and Ride the Lightning are 2 of the best albums ever IMO. Beginning to end, both are unbelievable. And Justice for All was OK, but the beginning of the end as far as I'm concerned. If you haven't heard these albums, check them out before you judge Metallica.

My first concert......Cinderella and the Bulletboys. Wow. I'm glad I got that out.

Preach on dude.

While your at it, grab Black too.

Some of my favorites, though it changes all the time.....

G n' R (not a lotta love here?)
Heart
The Clash
Metallica
Doors
Rage Against the Machine
The Police
Def Leppard (early years, not Pour some sugar on me stuff)

Bands I hate that I always thought were overrated (though of course, subjective)
Kiss
Queensryche
Pink Floyd

I don't have a favorite band, but here's some groups that I've been listening to lately.

Mellowdrone - Very good band out here in Cali.

Spoon - Their new album, Ga ga ga ga ga, is excellent

Radiohead - These guys just keep getting better. their new album is also sweet

MIA - Very interesting group. American urban with trippy tribal sounds rolled in one.

Talking Heads - I've been getting into them again lately...very underrated band.

Seawolf - Another chill band here in LA.

NaS - Best rapper alive.

Culver City Dub Collective - Reggae band.

Of course early Metallica should be classified as classic! They were masterful from their debut album right through Master. But ... I admit that the song Some Kind of Monster gets my toe tapping ...

You do know that you can go to Radiohead.com and buy the cd. You decide what price you pay also. I paid a lot for it. My total after tax came out to $0.00. biggrin.gif

I may or may not have posted int his thread from way back when, but hey.

Metallica is far and away my favorite band. The fact that so many people dislike their new stuff really only makes me like them more.
There's no denying that the old stuff is better, but at least they had the balls to experiment some with their sound.
I'd have been alright if I'd never seen the "Until It Sleeps" video, but other than that...good stuff.

highlander did you get the new manson album? if so did you like it?



By the way, I finally got around to listening to the newest Marilyn Manson album & did enjoy it quite a bit. The music was unlike his early work, but I can appreciate change. Just about all of the songs were catchy, but I particularly liked tracks later in the CD like "Evidence," "Are You the Rabbit," & "You & Me & the Devil Makes 3." Solid album thru & thru.

If you're into stoner rock, may I recommend Fu Manchu. It's just no-frills heavy rock. It's the type of music I listen to when I go jogging b/c it gives me an extra shot of energy!


Enjoy ...

They have some amazing solo's they are much more technical than most other rock bands out there.
