Amon Amarth

Rammstein
The Acacia Strain

I have some friends in Brazil, and I mentioned Weird Al to one of my friends there, who said she hadn't heard of him.

I tend to like classic rock, 80s, soft rock, and some techno. It's hard to choose one favorite, but these are some bands/musicians I like (in no particular order):
Dire Straits / Mark Knopfler
The Beatles
Paul McCartney
George Harrison
Pink Floyd
Edie Brickell
Norah Jones
Kraftwerk
The Doobie Brothers
Rush
Paul Simon
I could name more.. And there are various one-off hits I like too..

I think my favorite from him has to be either "Eat it" or "Amish Paradise". When I lived in New Mexico, there was a morning show that used to play his song "Albuqerque" every morning when they came on the air. I got sick of it very quickly. I saw an interview he did where he said he wrote it in an attempt to "annoy everyone listening for 11 minutes." I think he suceeded. ;-)
The doobie brothers and rush.... yes.... what about little river band, steely dan?
My favorite singer is a toss up between Rob Halford of Priest, and Ronnie James Dio. Dio might have the best voice of all time. Rob might have the best range.

Gillen from Badlands on "Dreams in the Dark" is pretty amazing,
and Graham Bonnet in Alcatrazz was a favorite of mine. He passed

Re-listening to that album after many years makes me realize how

I bet you'd recognize a couple of their songs if you heard them... They've been around since mid-70's, and are still touring today (obviously with some personnel changes but they still sound the
same).
Some of their bigger hits were: Lonesome Loser, Reminiscing, and
It's A Long Way There.

I looked up those songs on YouTube. I didn't recognize them.. Definitely sounds like 70s though.
I also enjoy early VH. There's a raw energy to it. I also like the Van Hagar era because I feel Sammy's writing and playing skills contributed to the sound more than Dave did. I got the impression that when Dave didn't get his way, he went to their manager and they teamed up on Eddie and Alex.

Oh Come on. You've never listened to the radio if you haven't heard "Reminicing"
Check again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5RDn5Y0D_0
That's the same Reminiscing I found yesterday.. I still don't recognize it. I listened to the radio a lot, but maybe the stations I listened to didn't play it.

Concur on the best voice of all time - "The Reverend" Ronnie James
Dio. Almost unbelieveable what he could do. My favorite metal
singer/band, no question. Favorite song by him - "Strange
Highways".

My close second on favorite metal is Iron Maiden. After that it's
a long way down to third place.

For dinner music, we've been seeding Pandora with 70s bands like Pablo Cruise, LRB, Seals and Crofts... makes for good hanging-out music.
Ozzy's voice is so unique, he'll always be an interesting standout. Black

My favorite band is Judast Priest. But Only 1969-1996 JP.
My favorite singer is a toss up between Rob Halford of Priest, and Ronnie James Dio. Dio might have the best voice of all time. Rob might have the best range.
I obviously prefer rock/metal.
But don't for a second think I'm limited to that...
Pop wise i think Prince's B SIDES lp might be one of the most under rated LP s of all time, showcasing is writing, arrangement and singing abilities like no other regular releases of his could do.

I haven't watched SNL very much in years.
I think around 2005, they started releasing DVD sets of entire SNL seasons. think they only released the first 2 or 3 seasons though, before running int licensing issues with the live music content and such. I was hoping they'd keep releasing those DVD sets - I would have bought much of the late 80s through the 90s. I imagine they probably have all that footage sitting in closets somewhere..

I like bruce a lot. He is an extremely well-controlled vocalist.
But from a pure singing standpoint, he doesn't hold a candle to Rob or Dio.
A vocal coach will praise his sustain, his ability to hold a note, his ability to go from low to shriek in an instant, and they are right. One of the most power rock voices ever.
HOWEVER,
Rob and Ronnie could sing like angels.
Or demons.
Or rockers.
Or whatever the hell they wanted to sound like, and that's the diff.

Urungus was Urobvious... I figured as much.
GWAR was talented.
When I was younger I rented the VHS tape of Scumdogs of the Universe and back then I thought slymenstra hymen was hot.
Unlike many of my friends who thought they were a gimmick, I actually thought they were a really talented group of musicians. I didn't really care for them, but they rocked the fuck out. Maggots.
I put them in the same class as Man o War... Extremely hard fucking rockers, loud, but not in my list of favorites.

Love Dio and Priest, but what about Bruce Dickenson?
What about Dave Brockie?

GWAR is my favorite band of all time, in case it wasn't obvious.
Zombies, March!
It's pretty obvious. They're one of my favorites as well.
I just tossed $100 in for http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gwarvstime/gwar-vs-time
for $250 you can get backstage passes for their next show, too :)

I was in the pit for a show shortly before Bloody Pit of Horror was released. That's the show that made me realize I was officially too old for such things.
Now I just buy VIP balcony tickets for Gwar shows, so I can sit and watch the spectacle. I don't feel like I'm missing out, because I've been there before.

Urungus was Urobvious... I figured as much.
GWAR was talented.
When I was younger I rented the VHS tape of Scumdogs of the Universe and back then I thought slymenstra hymen was hot.
Unlike many of my friends who thought they were a gimmick, I actually thought they were a really talented group of musicians. I didn't really care for them, but they rocked the fuck out. Maggots.
I put them in the same class as Man o War... Extremely hard fucking rockers, loud, but not in my list of favorites.
Thanks,

I have several King Diamond / Mercyful Fate records... man I do love
me som king!
THEM is one of my favorite albums of all time.

I am starting up a new service on my BBS, I have a Limnear tracking turntable, and over 300 records.... I will be recording them and I might be putting them up on my BBS as MP3 files , the sound is impeccable as I have a Sony 100 watt amp and a Soundblaster Audigy card, but satill nothing beats the sound of vinyl. I have 4 sound dynamics speakers and 4 sony speakers, all 8 connected with a tower (8 more speakers) lying on is side.... for a total of 16 speakers .... if anyone wants to know what albums I have feel free to ask. Russ
It will be on Spy Visits Spy BBS at telnet://spyvisitsspybbs.com , Right now i have a few records recorded, but you are right, nothing beats Vinyl, I am running a 100 Watt Sony STR-K840P, with a Sony PS-LX55-II Linear tracking Turntable, what BBS do you run ??? I can upload them directly there but they are big files as I am using wave files from my Sound Blaster Audigy at 96000 khz, 24Bit and uncompressed , close to vinyl but not uite , I also have 4 SOund Design speakers, 4 SOny speakers, and a column speaker on is side, (8 speakers in it), the Sony amp is Surround Sound 5.1 and my Sound Blaster Audigy is 5.1 as well.
Love all things GWAR, but I particularly like Scumdogs of the Universe, and Bloody Pit Of Horror.

A vocal coach will praise his sustain, his ability to hold a note, his ability to go from low to shriek in an instant, and they are right. One the most power rock voices ever.
HOWEVER,
Rob and Ronnie could sing like angels.
Or demons.
Or rockers.
Or whatever the hell they wanted to sound like, and that's the diff.
Thanks,

Have to agree, I was actually just listening to Dio on vinyl the other day a

Beyond Hell is my favorite overall album (HAIL FLATTUS! HAIL ODERUS!), but I think Immortal Corruptor is my favorite song.

I personally liked Axl back in the day but never considered him a good singer. Its apparent now after all the cocaine and drugs that his style of singing isn't conducive to longevity. He's out of breath all the time, sings on in/out breathing cadence, just horrible.
Dio was sooooo goood with Rainbow.
Listen to Rainbow Eyes or Don't Talk to Strangers.
Listen to Rob Halford at the Whistle Stop singing Dreamer Deceiver and remember it is LIVE.

There was just something about the music on the Them album that I can't get enough of. Sorta like Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime lp... The songs all go together so well and not just because of the story.
There was actual thought behind the music on THEM and the drums were so technically sound (actually, so were Queensryche's, interesting).
When I saw KD recently I was amazed at what he really looks like in person, so not evil. And his health issues, to think he still performs.
Thanks,

Immortal Corrupter is awesome, no denying that. How do you feel about the latest album? There is definately a few good songs on there.
Dio was sooooo goood with Rainbow.
The Man on the Silver Mountain. :)
I also love his solo career... Favorite song is probably
'Strange Highways'... :)

It is funny the subject pops up. I have been listening to Rainbow's albums and >hat song was playing right now.

Yeah even recently he just had surgery, and is recovering.. but very slowly. rom our tickets. I also love the drums on THEM, as well as Abigail. All the
RH was indeed way ahead of his time. 5 octave vocals. Insane. The problem with priest is, they did what they wanted in the beginning and were great, then they listened to record labels and tried to please fans and its been the same crap since Painkiller.
Turbo was the last good album by them. And what was great was all the 10 previous LP's leading up to turbo sounded differnt from the next.
Exactly. Most people couldn't name anyone other than KD but those musicians are hella-talented. The same is true for an untold number of bands out there.
I do love me some painkiller!
A few other metal bands made that error as well. Metallica and Megadeth come
And it isn't just metal bands.
Chili Peppers have sounded the same for over 25 years.
Same with Aerosmith.

Not anymore.
Like, Iron Maiden. I can't get into anything lately. Fear of the Dark was ok but uuuugh.
Haven't been into them since somewhere in time and 7th sign

As for bands that sound the same, Joe Dimaggio has an opinion. When a magazi ome weird stuff." It is ironic because there is a noticeable change of style
Hard to explain but I get you.
By the way, MAN O WAR what happened to them, they were like on the brink of exploding with Blow your Speakers and then poof. Gone.
Like GWAR.
Still a huge following but not in the headlines...
Wondering if the demise of MTV had anything to do with so many bands fading.
KIX
MAN O WAR
VOIVOD
BANG TANGO
ELECTRIC CIRCUS
ZODIAC MINDWARP AND THE LOVE REACTION
THE CULT
Such good stuff from back in the day
Today we get 5 finger death punch.
Yaaay...

followed. With the internet and ability to hear demo tracks, I'm amazed some

I have a couple a nephew in the music business. His biggest hurdle is electronic media. If you don't get your music carried by the iTunes, Google, Amazon, Spotify, Pandora, etc, you don't have a chance.
His point is that the market is fragmented. If a person has bought-in to one service, he/she is not likely to use the other services. Because of the customer behavior, you have to spend a bunch of time getting your stuff on many networks.

You are correct, man o war covers were epic. Some bands with
covers i really appreciated were
ELO
BOSTON
KISS
SLAYER
IRON MAIDEN (some of the best ever)
DIO
MEGADEATH
All good, and I'd have to put Iron Maiden and Dio as #1 and #2.
Every single Maiden cover is great. Eddie!
