Career highlight?

Swordfishtrombones
Raindogs
Bone machine
Black rider
Alice
Heartattackandvine

There's a man that just has a career. And a ******* good one. The only guest on letterman where I've actuallly seen leeterman shut the **** up and let the man speak

Pretty much one for every decade of the man's career.

Gotta say, though, I rate Frank's Wild Years higher than Swordfishtrombones

 

[Flippo]

Have listened to The Mark of Cains' new single Barkhammer, which they released the other day, a bunch of times over the last few days.

Awesome track. A 10 year wait and they haven't disappointed one bit.

Can. not. wait. for the album and associated tour

He's actually been a regular-ish guest over the years. He's an interviewer's dream if the interviwer can bring themselves to shut the **** up - somtheing letterman has trouble with EXCEPT where Tom is concerned.

Anyway there's a few Waits interviews with letterman and some live perfomances to go with them. Also don lane and waits is pretty funny (early drunk years).

btw there cover of behind blue eyes is pretty good

:icon_vomit: :icon_vomit:

Dude, it's an insult to the originators.

Note to you: Listen the The Who. The whole back catalog.

 

[spaced]

wes borland man that is all.

btw there cover of behind blue eyes is pretty good

Best cover ever would have to be Johnn Cash covering Nine inch nails hurt

So well done that everyone thinks his version is the original.

Wife is currently listening to this from the drive soundtrack. Listen to it twice and it's stuck in your head.

Not much love for the bizkit, eh?

There's a funny bit from the Tool book Unleashed taken from an interview with Keenan.

AA presumably being the interviewer.


AA: I was reading something that Fred Durst said

MJK: Why would you do that?

AA: (laughing) He said, Tool is probably the best band on the planet. Theres something wrong with those guys-theyre too good.

MJK: Sounds like something a ****** stoned kid at a ****** monster truck rally would say. Lets talk about somebody else.

AA: Theres more

MJK: Its like getting an endorsement from the woman who serves jello in the ****** high school food line. It doesnt mean anything. Just cause she won the lottery doesnt mean you have to listen to what she says.

AA: He also said, They know something the rest of the world doesnt know.

MJK: Thats not true, either. We dont know anything that cant be learned. If we had some secret wed certainly be ****** millionaires by now-and were not.


The most entertaining thing about them was the guitarist trying to look like a rhesus monkey.
Creepy stuff..

Cool news!

Everything Tool learned was through the teachings of DMT

Limp Bizkit on the other hand were too busy inhaling whipped cream bulbs and drinking alcopops.

mmmmmmmmmmmmm DMT

Brith Gof/Test Dept: Gododdin

The land of the Gododdin (the Votadini of the Romans) lay around, and to the south of, Edinburgh in Scotland. Sometime towards the end of the sixth-century AD, a small warrior-band mounted one last, suicidal attack from that region against the Anglo-Saxons who were already consolidating their occupation of much of present-day England, in the period of upheaval, contest and reorientation that followed the collapse of the Roman world. Fuelled by heavy drinking, three hundred met one hundred thousand in battle near Catterick in North Yorkshire. Inevitably they were slaughtered almost to a man

PBS 106.7 Thurs arvo is FANG IT!

Ruari plays anything from The Rolling Stones to The Beastie Boys. I got my Hendrix request in & played so i'm happy.

Ohhh, that's open to some conjecture.

We need a new cover version topic.

Band: Howl
Album: Full of hell

Punishing blend of all riffy goodness (erring on the doom side of things I guess, still the spectre(s) of early celtic frost and Iommi-esque riffs haunt all these newer bands).

Could be worse I guess. Imagine being haunted by the ghost of Bon Jovi and Warrant.

Been listening to Sodom out Motorheading Motorhead, Celtic Frost, Venom and Witchfinder General while out IPAing Mountain Goat's Rare Breed IPA with my own IPA. Got a 5 hour Krampusmas pudding boil ahead of me, so it'll only degenerate from here.

 

[manticle]

Listening to a massive stoner/doom/folk/early black metal CDR thing lecterfan was kind enough to burn for me.

Previously goatsnake, celtic frost and now moonsorrow. Some of the moonsorrw stuff I've heard has been a bit synth driven, lord of the rings nerdy stuff - this is more in line with my predeliction for finntroll and bits of korpiklaani. Actually very finntrollesque - Suden Uni.

 

[Lecterfan]

Afgrund grind like **** also.

...I still am...

I possibly should have been more discrepant with Moonsorrow and perhaps guided you to 'v Havietty' first - 60 mins of awesome ambient/black finnish metal...but I just love them so dumped the whole lot on you haha...I trust you can deal with the nerdiness...the later albums get blacker...

Goatsnake were the forerunners to Sunno))) by the way...

quaaludes and riffs maaaaaaannnnnn OMG WTF LOLzorz

 

[manticle]

Moonsorrow nerdiness was stuff I've heard prior to that CD when I've been checking out folk metal stuff.

The first one I clicked on from what you gave was the stuff I refer to above as more finntrollish (you know I love finntroll).

Now listening to 5ive: Hesperus (presumably not the boy band)

Pretty cool, almost post rock/post metal (only on first song so who knows how it will end up?)

 

[Lecterfan]

I love 5ive, whatever genre they get thrown into.

 

[Fat Bastard]

Wouldn't say that Goatsnake were forerunners to Sunn0))). Same label, one shared member, who is also a co-owner of the Southern Lord Label. I'd class them as a doom rock supergroup. Qualudes and riffs maaaaaaannnn is pretty close though! sunn0)))= no boogie, only hate. Goatsnake = 70's hard rock worshipping soulful doom. Robin Trower, Free, Sabbath re-jigged.

5ive are pretty cool. Any love for Colour Haze, Toner Low, UFOMammut and 35007 around these parts?

I'd suggest all those things absolutely make them fore-runners - music, like all art, isn't necessarily a direct lineage...just looking to take one extreme to another. I mostly groove on them with Attila, but that belies my other musical loves.

I have all of those listed, but of all of them my only multi-albuming belongs to UFOMammut.

Nice to have another less-than-conventional on board (there are plenty here). I like my beer brewed with love and disregard for rules, I like my grind made with fury, my doom recorded with angst, my punk recorded with heart and meaning, my groove recorded with a soulful beat and my metal with twin guitars (except Iommi and his minions). My vegies homegrown, my sourdough made with my friends culture and my laughter to be organic and natural. For every "evil CUB" drinker there is 10,000 consumers listening to mainstream music and buying what the machine feeds them...like your beer/food/art underground? Go all the way... it's always more rewarding...(preaching to the converted here I guess)...

Canned has its place.

And genuinely enjoying it.

 

[Lecterfan]

And genuinely enjoying it.

Fair point - but only to a certain degree. Aristotle still gave us the 'practical' guide to why subjectivity only goes so far, but that is a discussion for another thread...don't know which one hahaha.


edit: am wiling to engage on that one though, especially in regards to Kant's take on aesthetics...the extreme subjectivity argument only holds so much water you understand...

Perhaps people may enjoy something else more but they may also enjoy the other stuff enough.

Ignorance is bliss, after all.

 

[Lecterfan]

they may also enjoy the other stuff enough.

Brilliantly phrased.

I don't have to agree, but I can concede!

Some people also like Limp Bizkit and Insane Clown Posse

Ignorance etc....


Magnets, how do they work?
