^ Both mighty fine tunes and no mistake, FG <3

Not sure what theme to continue on cos am betwixt and between themes. As such...

Smashing Pumpkins - Siva {live, Metro '91)

"Tell me tell me what you're after...
... I just wanna get there faster..."

Smashing Pumpkins - Soma (live '94)

Both of the above included not for the sound quality (for it is quite poor in both cases) but for the energy and the originality and the sheer quality. I <3 grunge but how the fuck the Pumpkins got lumped in as grunge I will never understand. There's so much more depth involved and these would be damn fine examples of the way they can do that "loudQUIETloud" thing in a very different way from the Pixies which is the (admittedly also godly) form the actual "grunge" bands almost slavishly tried to emulate. This is why I hold the Pumpkins above and beyond their peers. They did a bit of that too but took it to a whole other level. I'll stop now cos I can and will (and am) a bit gushy on the matter.

(but they deserve it <3)

And in other musical genre news...

Kid 606 - Another One Bites the Dubstep

Don't fear the reaper nor the title. T'ain't dubsteb by any stretch. Is Kid 606 sampling Prodigy (and a gazillion other quality acts) into acid/hardcore heaven though <3

Grunge was a bullshit label that killed the Seattle scene stone dead, just like 'punk' would eventually kill the punk scene once all the Pistols imitators established an orthodoxy. It's not even like the first wave of 'grunge' bands even sounded alike - same as the early punk bands.

Never 'got' the Pumpkins, though I see why people like them. I used to fancy that D'Arcy chick rotten and Billy Corgan can certainly write a tune.

I agree with you that Chamberlin is some drummer.

Agreed on all fronts. I do respect a person who can appreciate a thing whilst accepting both that they personally "don't get it" without feeling the need to try to diminish the thing they nominally accept. Am well aware the Pumpinks are an acquired taste. Just so happened it was they who pulled me back from completely turning my back on gee-tar music. If my then ladyfriend hadn't played me Siamese Dream and my then metalhead friend hadn't given me a copy of one of their London shows from that tour I honestly wonder if I would've ever trusted gee-tar bands enough again to ever give them a chance. This alone gives them near godlike status to me. Was quite the turnaround - even Nirvana only nibbled at the edges of the kinda thing I needed at that time. They moved up a notch or two in my estimation since - along with sundry other gee-tar based bands - but was the Pumpkins that lit the way for me. And I <3 them so <3

Black Lung - Gizmo Fallout Production

Black Lung - Full Spectrum Dominance

Not gee-tar music but... <3
 
I know what it's like when a band / artist rekindles your passion. Such a magical thing.

I listened to nothing but Neil Young, Dylan and fucking rebel songs for nearly three years. Gave up on all my old favourites, or anything new or indeed 'new'. Then a friend gave me a Black Flag record one day and it was like music opened up again.

I owe a lot to him, but he used to read this forum (and there's a chance he may take the odd glance still) so I'll not get sentimental.
 
Hendrix's cover of All Along the Watchtower is one of my all time faves <3

Jimi Hendrix - Crosstown Traffic

Possibly the greatest kazoo riff ever =D

Jimi Hendrix - Little WIng (live in London)

Cos is one of my absolute faves <3

Incidentally, anybody else got the Jimi bootleg with (a spectacularly drunk - even by his standards) Jim Morrison "guest" appearance? "Fuck her in the ass, fuck her in that sweet cunt hole..." - poetry, Jim, sheer poetry :D
 
http://youtu.be/MN1Eca3C3RI Monster Magnet - God Says No

Fireing my friend
But I come back again and again
I just can't pretend
One more step and I'll start to bend

You try and live
And God says no

We go on our way
Just waiting for that lucky day
I tried every way
Just so that God can blow me away

I need some love
To start the show
But ask just once
And God says no

A lot of dust slides through my head
Scary thoughts like wishing we were dead
You won't get caught if you don't get queer
And you'll be ready for a new frontier

It's good to be bad
It's the best time you'll ever have
What the hell is this ultra sad
Pray for your cool and work on that ass

You learn too much
You'll never know
Just start to laugh
And God says no

A point of life flies through my head
A scary thought like I was someone else
And don't get lost now and show no fear
And you'll be ready for a new frontier

A lot of dust slides through my head
And scary thoughts like wishing we were dead
You won't get caught if you don't get queer
And you'll be ready for a new frontier
For a new frontier

That's the opening track yes. He "sings" on the second too as I recall. (had a lotta jimi bootlegs "back in the day" on vinyl - probably got even more now, such are the joys of the interwebz).

Jimi Hendrix - Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band (live, Stockholm '68)

That'd be the opener from one of the better vinyl bootlegs as I recall.

In other news...


Kid 606 - Let's Get Radioactive (Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Nuclear Energy)

<3
 
Kid 606 - Godspeed You African American Emperor

Godspeed You Black Emperor - Sleep

"It was Coney Island, they called Coney Island the playground of the world.
There was no place like it, in the whole world, like Coney Island when I was a youngster.
No place in the world like it, and it was so fabulous. Now it's shrunk down to almost nothing...you see.
And, uh, I still remember in my mind how things used to be, and...uh, you know, I feel very bad.

But people from all over the world came here...from all over the world...it was the playground they called it the playground of the world...over here.
Anyways, you see, I...uh...you know...I even got, when I was very small, I even got lost at Coney Island, but they found me...on the...on the beach.
And we used to sleep on the beach here, sleep overnight..they don't do that anymore. Things changed...you see.
They don't sleep anymore on the beach."

Former included for pure funk godliness. Latter includes lyrics due to gobsmacking awesomeness.
