|Montana Bengal| Posted February 9 Report Posted February 9 Thought it might be an interesting thread. No politics - No Judging - No being a dick. Don't flood this with a bunch of videos from the same artist(s). Quote
|Montana Bengal| Posted February 9 Author Report Posted February 9 I've read through AVH's book and have been revisiting. Here are two of my favorite Van Halen songs (specifically Ed's playing) Quote
|Montana Bengal| Posted February 9 Author Report Posted February 9 Also revisiting The Cranberries a little lately. Quote
T-Dub Posted February 9 Report Posted February 9 Dig Tyler but wasn't a huge fan or anything, the last 2 have been good. This one in particular is great IMHO. NSFW 1 Quote
Shebengal Posted February 9 Report Posted February 9 I was recently on a reading about Fleetwood Mac kick. I read “Dreams: The Many Lives of Fleetwood Mac” and “Songbird” about Christine McVie. I didn’t realize how many people over the years performed on or sang on Fleetwood Mac songs, including the Captain and Tennille before they were the Captain and Tennille. 1 Quote

It is always interesting to me how many musicians are 'intertwined' and have worked together. I really like to see people from different grouds/backgrounds come together to 'jam'. I think the competitive narrative becomes a little overblown. I stumbled across this the other day (Sammy Hagar, John Mayer, James Hetfield (Metallica), Melissa Etheridge, Pat Monahan (Train), Tommy Lee, Kris Kristofferson and Joe Satriani). Not related - I remember seeing something with Barry Gibb and I never realized how many other artists he wrote for. Apparently he did okay when the BeeGees weren't popular. Quote

Love a good music documentary. On that note, if you haven't seen Mike Judge's "Tales from the Tour Bus", there are 2 seasons and it was great. Really hope they make more someday. Quote
-GoBengals- Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 A few of my favorites. I have a random music inspiration growing up, My dad listened to rock, so i heard a bunch of ACDC, iron maiden, hendrix, then some Eurythmics/ Annie Lennox. so i enjoy all of that, some random Peaches, but hiphop was my go to in finding what i liked for myself. I have a wierd connection with Cypress hill also. big fan, but im not a stoner or into weed much, im maybe an edible a few times a year at best kinda guy. But my sister was into them in the early 90s, then me and my friends in the mid 90s. I have been to 14 cypress hill shows, saw them on the Smokin Grooves festival in Columbus, at Red rocks 4 times, saw them in Brooklyn for Haunted Hill halloweed show, haunted hill another year in LA, I saw the live orchestra show in Denver at mission ballroom the first one off the simpson spinoff. Then my son was playing hoops in London and they did the london symphony show 2 days after his last game so we stayed a few days, visited london and saw that show. I have a VIP fan platinum plaque with my name on it from Black Sunday album... I try not to present myself as a big cypress hill fan as it typically leads to weed talk that i have no interest in.. 90's 2000's 2010's Quote

Guess it evens out. Just heard B-Real on this new one from Coyote the other night though: Quote

His solo project are very hot and cold. Mostly cold. But this one was pretty good. B real, musically on his own isn’t very creative. He needs a DJ muggs or strong co star to carry the creative. Every cypress hill album without muggs is a train wreck. Every album with him is gold. been wild getting old and making a point to get to shows when I can as these guys won’t be alive forever. Too Short old ass still touring and doing a solid show. 50 cents get rich or die trying anniversary tour was great. Kendrick’s Mr morale tour was inpressive(my oldest son’s first concert as well). Headed to dreamville fest with j Cole with him in April and Kendrick in Vegas in may. 1 Quote
Homer_Rice Posted February 20 Report Posted February 20 I noodled around on guitar for a long time, up until I got sick. Haven't played hardly at all over the past three years--my body wouldn't let me. But now that I'm putting on a little weight and getting some of my strength and flexibility back, I'm thinking about going out and buying a GS-mini and getting rid of my dreadnoughts! I'm a big country blues, finger-pickery kind of guy, but I haven't always been that way. Here are a couple of tunes from two of my favorite bands from my youth: Bill Nelson does some wild guitar shit his with band, Be Bop Deluxe: And from a not super well-known, but influential trio, Budgie: 1 1 Quote

-GoBengals- Posted February 28 Report Posted February 28 looks like they are relaseing a movie of the live show from London in theaters... i may have to relive this... Quote
|Montana Bengal| Posted March 1 Author Report Posted March 1 Stumbled on this YouTube channel. Make me realize how much I like and miss some 90s music. https://youtube.com/@thesongtv?si=1W-syjgJQO6TosxI Quote
T-Dub Posted March 9 Report Posted March 9 2 of my favorite mixtapes from the.. 20-teens? I listen AC the PD's weekly record pool but this viral, underground, burnt-CD-copped-off-the-street sound is hard to find these days. Skits? Part of what I liked about Chromakopia ☝️ in fact. Quote
T-Dub Posted March 9 Report Posted March 9 and some old-school instrumental hiphop that came out yesterday. Sorry for spamming but it's too quiet in here. https://lordfinesse.bandcamp.com/album/the-sp-1200-project-sounds-frequencies-in-technicolor Quote
Homer_Rice Posted March 17 Report Posted March 17 Talking today with a buddy of mine who spends a fair amount of time in New Orleans. Made me think of a few of my favorite NOLA-oriented songs that are not The Meters! (Whom I like a lot, too.) Sonny Landreth - Congo Square: The Tragically Hip - New Orleans is Sinking. Really delicious guitar lick in this one. Quote
