OT: Music Thread

[MattMartin]

One of the wildest times I can recall at a concert is when this tune came on. I think some of you will enjoy this tune. Great rock tune to experience live.

Has anyone else seen any of Ken Burns' "Country Music" documentary currently on PBS? I haven't watched any of his stuff in a while (kinda all started to seem the same), but this one is really good. When I was a kid my dad was a Hank Williams Sr and Buck Owens fan and as a result of hearing that all the time I like the more traditional southern/old timey and also some western country music (in which category I include the Dead). I may stop watching after they get past Johnny Cash and into the modern era.

I haven't seen it yet as this week has been pretty damn hectic for me, but I definitely want to see this eventually. I've heard nothing but good things.

Yeah, I've seen the first one and it's fantastic.

I've seen the first 2 episodes so far. I was fairly ignorant of some of the history of the genre, so it's pretty cool. Like, Nashville is what it is today because it was given one of the few 50,000 watt radio licenses back in the day. I'm looking forward to the Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash stuff upcoming. BTW, I don't remember if it was the first or second episode, but I never realized that the Charles Durning character in O Brother Where Are Thou was based so closely on a real guy.

Got my tool tix today. Not cheap at all. Nov 16 at the rock.

Dad and I saw Disturbed this past weekend. Awesome show! First time seeing those guys and it was incredible.

Opening act was trash though. Some band called In This Moment. They were dreadful.

Youtube is a devilish rabbit hole of cool videos. I watched a Radio Birdman video this morning and 2 hours later, I was like "WTF happened".

First they need to finally make a great live video. And for that video Maynard needs to come out of the shadow and sing at a normal volume. Adam Jones is an artistic genius and first rate engineer, remember the old classic videos? He could put together a great video.

This is one of the better videos on youtube. Time to stop playing the fat bald guy during Stinkfist though, it's been done for too many tours.

 

[Doshell Propivo]

Stinkfist?

 

[Quickdraw2828]

Stinkfist?

Don't ask.

 

[BrockLobster]

Don't ask.

Or the MTV friendly name of "track #1"

 

[Richie Daggers Crime]

Stinkfist?

It's what I was talking about before. It's stuff that sounds like it should be clever, but it's actually about sex stuff.

[Quickdraw2828]

In the same vein, I don't understand why folks like the Pixies so much.

Pixies, Replacements, Clash, Violent Femmes - all on my WTF list.

 

[Richie Daggers Crime]

There's the cryptic thing. It's really just about sex stuff. Half of it is about sex stuff. No different than a Motley Crue song.

One of these is not like the others.

Giving away my age here, But I went to a Clash concert and split after 3 or 4 songs.

I do see a common thread running through those bands. I think the Clash are wildly overrated.

Theres a guy in my town with numerous clash tattoos...i don't get it either.

WTF on 3 out of 4 of your WTF List.

Yeah, one of them sucks.

I would agree, but that doesn't mean they're not good.

And yet another Guided By Voices show for me tonight. It's good to be a diehard fan living in NYC!
