Terry Reid had an interesting music career, a friend of Jimmy Page, he was asked to join the New Yardbirds/Led Zeppelin he couldn't due to a U.S tour with Cream, instead he recommended Robert Plant. Later he was approached to join Deep Purple I think, again couldn't due to contractual stuff, so never made the "big time" - perhaps he's happy about that. I really like this album

My favorite young band currently doing music:

They utterly slay me. Their compositions are incredible, not to mention I'm in love with Ruth's brooding. Can someone get me another beer? See you later, famiglia.

one of my favorite songs of all time and from a great album, I've Got My Own Album To Do

Now many people probably know that Ritchie Blackmores wife, Candice Night, sings in their band Blackmore's Night. This is what it looks like


But I bet not that many people, including myself, knew that Carlos Santanas wife, Cindy Blackman, occasionally likes to play the drums in his band.

I mean what the actual fuck? :oo

Ritchie Blackmores wife, Candice Night, sings in their band Blackmore's Night.

Is that video an outtake from This Is Spinal Tap?

Carlos Santanas wife, Cindy Blackman, occasionally likes to play the drums in his band.

She used to play for Lenny Kravitz as well. LK is too much of a cheesy retro guy. Not original enough for me but he does have good musicians.

 

[Johannes]

Is that video an outtake from This Is Spinal Tap?

Blackmore is nuts, he always has been. But he kept it original till today, you gotta give him that. If he wants to play Medieval Renaissance Soft Rock Folk or whatever it is, who wants to question Ritchie Blackmore? :D

Lenny Kravitz

Yeah, I read that about Lenny Kravitz.

Dat drum solo tho. Imagine having dinner conversation with your wife who can belt one out like John Bonham.

"I think I catched some Buddy Rich in there tonight, honey?"
"Yes, I went for it."
"Just could you keep it under 10 minutes next time?
"No, fuck you."

Seen this band a few times, at a venue in Glasgow, a sort of cafe/second hand vinyl place, before the gig started, he had his nose stuck down in the rows of records,i just admired him from a distance.

 

[Black Swan]

memories come and go...some just die along the way.

It's just an okay pop type groovy song, but I could listen to the Söderberg sisters sing anything.

I'd even listen to them sing Grateful Dead songs. Seriously. I hope they never do, but I'd listen.

 

[sean]

Some like Swedish, others prefer Thai.

 

[Johannes]

Niceeee. That's quite cool, actually.

From the sidebar recommendations to this: Some dude with a hipster mustache doing Purple Rain.

Ace Frehley, the last of the great rock (rawk?) lead guitar players. Before the invasion of the college graduates.

As he says repeatedly in this video, "I don't know what I'm doin'," which is, precisely, what rock and roll is.


I've seen some other videos this guy has done, and his barely-contained (or like here, not contained at all) enthusiasm and insistence on playing along, or asking how certain things are done, is refreshing and inspiring. He annoys me, but I love him.

Ah, the guy from, among other things, Chavez...

 

[skiroomalum]

So good...

 

[PhillyDave]

saw this guy with Matthew Ryan Saturday. Some of his songs reminded me of early Tom Waits, not too affected, not bad.

The "Mad Aria" from opera Lucia di Lammermoore, after Lucia has gone nuts and stabbed her husband. Normally I can't stomach arias but this is quite something.

 

[Black Swan]

From the doc: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: "runnin' down a dream",
Hank Williams' song, Lost Highway

4 hours worth watching...
"I got a room at the top of the world tonight and I ain't coming down", wow!

Ah, Peter Bogdanovich...

I love this beautiful song by Massive Attack. The singer, Chicago man Terry Callier, I didn't know, but I listened to more of his work as a result.

The wonderful Marcia Griffiths, of Bob Marley's I Threes, Bob and Marcia, and Bunny Wailer's unlikely hit, Electric Boogie. with her version of John Lennon's Don't Let Me Down. Go deh!

 

[PhillyDave]

Not the best as a boxed set, The Byrds (1990), but a great collection of tunes and just right for the price, 4cds at $12.99 total.

 

[Johannes]

I know, Iron Maiden covered this one. But don't let this be your only criterium of judgement.

Always loved this one. Any song that begins with the lyrics "Doctor, doctor, please, oh the mess I'm in ..." gotta be a classic.

Rock n' roll Hall of Fame nominee Bad Brains!


Hey mjp, ever see these guys live?

Hey mjp, ever see these guys live?

The first time I saw Bad Brains was in a club in Minneapolis (Duffy's) with maybe 25 people in it. Husker Du opened for them. It was April of 1982, right after the ROIR cassette release and about 8 months before the CBGB show in the video above. They were, without question, the greatest, most intense band I'd ever seen in my life. I went to rehearsal the next night (with Sonny and the Extreme) and said, "I quit. I just saw the greatest band in the world and we'll never be better than them."

I didn't really quit (that night), but that's how good they were. Just unparalleled. Then and now. For what they do, or did, no one was ever better.

They came back a few months later and played a reggae show at First Avenue, to a crowd of a few hundred. A lot more people than the first show, since they were getting some press and becoming known. But when they said they were playing a reggae show, that's what they meant, they didn't play one hardcore song. I turned around about halfway through and the place had emptied out, and it was just 25 people again. Maybe the same 25 people that were at Duffy's, I don't know. The next day we helped them move their equipment to a different club (Goofy's), and that night they played their usual hardcore/reggae show and tore the place up.

I saw them a few times after that, both in Minneapolis and after I moved to Los Angeles (once at The Roxy, where HR played a trumpet, which he seemed to have picked up for the first time a few days earlier). They were always great, though the intensity and awe-inspiringness of that first show was hard for any band to live up to.

"Tell us more stories, grandpa!"

 

[PhillyDave]

A friend of mine was at the above show. He saw the Clash in NJ in 1980 too and one of the NY Bonds Casino shows....etc, etc, etc....

 

[mjp]

Those were different times. There was a lot going on, everywhere.
