see...you dont need a harmonica....the electric guitar causes way less drool!
Tom Morello does some great things with pedals and effects in fairness to him.

Mr Alan

TBH i havent really ever listened to them.Might be a little heavy for my tastes....but

Recommend an album and I'll buy it.....

This one, self titled.

Nirvana? Pearl Jam?

If you were gonna recommend a RATM album, then it has to be the debut self titled, however if you find that heavy, then get renegades of funk, essentially an album of covers , but its really funky and melodic, and is probably the least heavy. Covers Bob Dylan, MC5 and few others.

That one too.

My favourite band in that mould are Alice In Chains. They've a new singer as well, and he's not half bad.

Wasn't relly a fan, my flat mate loves them though.

Here, what's the craic with an "n" not an "m"?

not really, dont mind it but not mad into it...never really into it during the ninties either, although i may have been a little young,but i like a lot of other music that is hardly "my generation"

You mentioned The Stone Roses earlier. Fantastic.

It's from the movie Evil Dead (and actually, a lot of old folklore). It means "Book of the Dead". When I registered I mis-spelt my name, bugged me for ages.

Great movie though!

Mr Alan

They cover The Boss on "Renegade", we have a winner :cool:

Not mad into the who, like some of their stuff, but dont like a lot of it.

Stone Roses are funny one, cause i have never been into them but over the last couple of years have really started to appreciate them. Them being ****e live though will stop me giving them massive praise, a singer who was unable to sing in key at the time prevented them from being really great imo.

D'oh missed that one! Actually didnt realise it was a Springsteen cover til you mentioned it!
Alice in Chains +1.
Wish they were still the original line up.Loved the harmonies and stuff they done. Seen them with the new guy, forget his name, was pretty good, but I'll always wish i had seen layne perform with gerry.

Definitely. Although I was very impressed when I saw them with the new singer (can't remember his name either). They've a new album out at the end of the year.

~Rebel~

id be a big fan of all of that era as well, AIC, Pearl Jam (and the bits and pieces before and during like Mother Love Bone, Temple of the Dog, Mad Season), Faith No More, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden. Moved on a bit to include people like Slayer, Pantera, Down etc and have since moved on to kind of melodic opera-eqsue metal (often cheesy) like BlindGuardian, Gamma Ray, Nightwish, Rhapsody (of Fire), Synphony X, Therion, Hammerfall, Iced Earth etc. Love plenty of non metal too of course.

For anyone who fancies rocking out, give this a listen;

Coolest man in music. No question.

One of my favourite songs. I love the piano version. Taken from the Storytellers series, I think? I remember TG4 showed it a couple of years back and I stumbled across it. I was raging I didn't know beforehand to record it. Savage song.

Mr Alan

Yea its from Storytellers.

Mr Alan

A Sort Of Homecoming

This is that U2 song i was talking about earlier....maybe it'll appeal to people a little more as its from before when Bono disappeared up his own arse. Really is an excellent song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gg0EmaepBXM

This next one is from Slane in 2001. They go from "All I Want Is You" into "Where The Streets Have No Name" perfectly, Bono shows just how amazing a vocalist he really is and musically, i think both are pretty excellent.

This is actually probably my favourite concert moment of all time, either of any DVD or gig i have attended, and i have been to quite a few. I really do think its ****ing absolute magic.

Check out Larrys little drum bit on 8.50 too, the whole thing is perfect

I actually reckon most who watch it couldnt help but think, "wow, thats pretty ****ing good"

Also for the Bono haters out there, he gets a bottle of water thrown over him on about 3.45mins and then proceeds to threaten the thrower of it

something for everyone

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHcWnkJjvBk

Also, this is them in Sun Studios recording "Angel Of Harlem" funny little exchange between Larry and Adam;

"Lawrence, if i had feet like yours i wouldnt want them in the film"

Larrys response?

"well if i had a head like yours, i'd bleeding bury it!"

It's called getting old Al.

Mr Alan

not sure man, i've always had quite "old" tastes, i think its more to do with that i play in a band and we were playing a few songs at a friend of mines wedding, and he wanted us to get a couple of stone roses tunes, and i really enjoyed em, cause i can sing in key

Thanx 4 The Fish

Surely The stone roses do not suit you then, singin in key was never a particularly strong point for them.

I think they are okay, prefer when am singing to sing soings that have a bit of a tune to them that will allow a bit of improvisation when I wanna try a few things out

Mr Alan

nah, vocally, the stone roses are alright on record, its only live that Brown flies all over the shop.

seen him solo a few times and he is better now though.

I'm the exact same. Although I honestly don't think I would ever be able to play even if I put the effort in just doesn't seem to be in my blood. Complete opposite to my Dad who can literally pick up any instrument and have a tune coming out of it within five minutes. My Brother is musically inclined too, just doesn't seem to be in me.

What ya think can anyone play the guitar?

Most definitely. If you sit down for a couple of hours for a few weeks then anyone can at least learn the basic seven chords (well, 'b' might be a bit difficult).

I got about 6 lessons when I was 15 and the rest was self taught.

Amazing band.

Best band I've ever seen live, and that includes Muse. Second row from the front of the pit. Crazy.

It actually wasnt that good, sorry to spoil it for ya! (Well I was no way impressed by KOL that day, freaking Bass drum on their kit ruined the sound of the whole band. that was all you could freaking hear!!

Joshua Homme from Queens of Stone age came out onstage with Pearl Jam for about 30 seconds of Baba O'Reilly, which was pretty cool too, but him and eddie vedder were pretty "rocked out" by that stage.......must have been the belgian beer i guess!

I whole heartedly +1 to that suggestion!
Although I waited about 14years to see them, so I guess I would have been easily impressed! But they were fricking awesome!
