The Mark Lanegan appreciation thread.

oldscoil

Hi Folks.

I was listening to Hawk, (Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan) over the weekend, excellent album by the way, and I got to thinkin’ how Mr. Lanegan has been a rich vein throughout the different strata of rock and alternative music over the past 25 years.

I won’t say he was under appreciated but I do think he deserves a touch more kudos.

So I put together a few of my fave moments from Sparky’s career to share with you good people.

Please feel free to add your own.

Yes what a great singer, he adds so much depth to a song with just his voice. So glad I've seen hima few times and even luckier to have met him.

Excellent.

Hope he didn't disappoint. I'd imagine he's exactly as you'd expect.
Sh1t cool :cool:

Apologies for the other post. I was trying to get this post together and not get stung by my boss. Had to resisit the temption to just kick back and listen to all these tunes full blast with my feet on the desk

Saw him in the Academy the time before last. Amazing!!!

One voice.
One guitar.
TOTALLY ROCKIN' GIG........:)

Mushy

Saw him at EP, Academy twice (once with Gutter Twins) and in London with Isobel. He can never disappoint, I just thanked him for playing Dublin and told Isobel they should play here.

The song which turned me onto Screaming trees (and a stonking version!)

Ive heard this once before, Ive always wondered about it, where did it come from?

He's the coolest guy going. Consistently brilliant and musically diverse output. Furthest rock artist from a 'sellout' that I can imagine.

Tonight's gig was the ****.

Did not get a chance to listen to new album properly yet.
Which of the Lanegan/Isobel C ones would you recommend?

All of them to be honest, get the first one and work your way along, you cant go wrong.

The new albums very good, a little different but not disappointing.

I had 2 tickets for last nights gig but I had to work

Yea the lead singer was on the keyboard for mark and I think the drummer was the same guy. I don't know who they are, though.

The guy with the elvis hair was awesome on guitar.

Thats one of the best intro songs to any album I've ever heard. Goes to show how his voice is amazing.
