Mark Lanegan

hada

Well what can I say about this guy.. He's simply brilliant.

I'll admit his latest album (Bubblegum), takes a few listens, but once you get him, boy is it worth it.

Suppose you could compare that husky voice of his to someone like Tom Waits, or Cohen even.

Fav tracks:

Hit the city
Wedding Dress
...

On a side note if you have the time, please please go and listen to band called Blind Melon. They are absolutely amazing:

fav tracks:

Mouthful Of Cavities
No Rain
Soul One
Galway
Tones of Home
Soup
Time
Soak the Skin

Lanegan is great alright. Screaming Trees, qotsa, solo stuff all brilliant.

Can't stop listening to Methanphetamine Blues and One Hundred Days recently, excellent tracks.

Bungalow Bill

I never did like Blind Melon, and I really gave them a chance, the guy's voice just bugs me

John

Saw him there a couple of months ago, fantastic gig. He sounds like Clint Eastwood looks.

Rhyme

He wouldnt be a regular on my playlist but nice music nonetheless... his voice makes things around my speakers vibrate

Jonny Arson

Bubblegum is great. My personal favourites are Sideways in Reverse, Hit the City and Wedding Dress. I could actually listen to Lanegan's voice all day. So unusual but goddam soothing.

Meh, I was a big fan of Screaming Trees but find his solo stuff a little uninspiring tbh. I went to London to see him play a gig with Masters Of Reality supporting and, after the Masters were finished, his set seemed like an hour and a half of the sound of paint drying. Dull, dull, dull.

John

Pfft, old man, you should have seen him at the ambassador, very good stuff.

Doctor J

Heh, hey kid, don't get snotty just cos you wish you had been at that gig where the Masters consisted of Chris Goss (Kyuss & QOTSA producer) and Josh Homme and Nick Oliveri (Kyuss & Qotsa) and even Lanegan came out to sing with the Masters. Some of us were aware of these folks long before Songs For The Deaf

Lanegan was excellent on Other Voices on de telly. Very Doors / Iggy I thought.

Nearly lost you there by Screaming Trees is a deadly song.

Highjacking the thread a little - November 25th 2024 would have been Mark Lanegans 60th Birthday.

Long shot question?? Who was at the August 24th 2010 acoustic show of Mark Lanegan and Dave Rosser at the Roisin Dubh in Galway?I have 17 recordings out of a 22 song set of that night. I was hoping to cobble them together and create a bootleg as a mark of respect to this legend and put it up on youtube. Possible title "Don't Forget Me Galway"Let me know if you have recordings of the gig or of the Dublin show on August 25th 2010 and want to contribute to the tribute. This is a fan made bootleg idea to mark the occasion.

Missing Songs: 1. Field Song (first song), 12. The River Rise, 14. On Jesus' Program, 16. When Your Number Isn't Up, 19. Wild FlowersWill be releasing it with or without missing tracks, would still be nice to have a complete set. Also have a lot of the Dublin show recorded and will in time get that up on youtube.
