Hey Sinera glad you liked it. I had my eyes opened to Buddy Rich earlier this year. My jaw hit the ground when I heard him play. Most drummers I hear are marvelous time keepers and little more. I always loved Rush because of Niels work on the drum kit. When I first heard buddy Niel came right to mind and I saw the similarities right away. A lot of todays music use the drums as time keeper which is a waste of a beautiful instrument in the right hands.

These are the kinds of battle I like<3
The ones where we battle to bring out the best in ourselves and everybody wins... participants, observers and folks (like me here, getting a real education in drumming) in a later time period who watch the recordings.
There is something simply beautiful about drumming. You can do it anytime, anywhere, with just about anything, including your own body parts. Or you can use specialized tools like these guys, and really have a go at what you can create!:cool:
Indeed it does bring the best out of us. It is also the primordial musical instrument and as you say, everybody is able to do it - anytime, that is the beauty in it.

Although I always like to think of it as a 'drum duet' rather than 'battle'. This competitive stance seems to be a more masculine approach to everything. I'm saying this being a man myself, and ex-drummer. And since men still make up probably 99% or more of all drummers (but with female numbers on the rise!) it is no surprise.

Btw, two of my current favourite drummers are women nowadays! <3

This concert was awesome, really awesome! Wish we could have made that one! :cool:

Can't think of a better way to spend the Eclipse than to listen to Pink Floyd huh! <3

I saw them twice in Toronto in the 80's awesome memorable shows.
Ha, mus be rough....you sound like me and ZZTop, I have seen them 2 time in concert...each was great. My very first concert when I was 16 was the Doobie Brothers Dec 1973 also saw another group at the same place but can't remember who that was...stayed to long at the first one I guess :confused: Saw Pat Benatar in Phoenix AZ with the lead in Joan Jett and the Blackhearts....Jett was actually better than Benatar. Both concerts one didn't even have to bring any, all you had to do was breath.....even with the Benatar concert being open air! Shish!

Elbow ... epic progressive and poetic pop-rock with one of the best singers in one of the best live bands currently around for me.

About Home(coming).

"I never know what I want but I know when I'm low that I
I need to be in the town where they know what I'm like and don't mind"


About youth.

"Do they know those days are golden?
Build a rocket boys!"


About old age, letting go of the past, and with a nice pun.

"The birds are the keepers of our secret
...
What are we gonna do with you?
Same tale every time
What are we gonna do with you?
Come on inside
Looking back is for the birds"


About loss and drowning it with booze.

"There's a hole in my neighborhood
Down which of late I cannot help but fall"


Another beautiful one about loss.

"The night will always win
The night has darkness on its side
I've thrown this to the wind

I miss your stupid face
I miss your bad advice
I tried to clothe your bones with scratches
Super 8s, exaggerated stories and old tunes
But never by the moon
But never the state that I'm in
The night will always win"

Glad you liked it, my friend. :)

And they even had or have some mainstream success, at least in Europe, didn't know they were virtually unknown elsewhere. Also many famous musicians outed themselves as their fans, such as e.g. U2 and REM praised them (I saw them as support act for REM in 2008 in Würzburg - which was great as I could witness two of my then favourite bands during one concert!). Peter Gabriel also covered one of their songs (see below). In one of their televised gigs the lead singer of Muse was standing at the side backstage watching them.

It's good to see that sometimes quality is ackknowledged ... well, sometimes. Too many good bands go unnoticed by the masses listening to cheap charts pop music of the day and thrown away the next day.

And yet, often it is even for more open-minded pop/rock listeners out of their attention span to listen to a song like "The Birds" with 8 minutes length and unusual (progressive) structure. They just switch off if it is over 3 minutes and does not 'get going immediately' but builds up internal drama and dynamics instead.

With The Birds, one of my absolute favs lyrically and musically, they don't know they would miss an absolute masterpiece. After the first minutes (that contains all the stanzas of the old man's story) it might seem to this kind of regular listener maybe even a bit monotonous ('boring'?). Then at ca. 3:20 min. it gets hypnotic and even very trance-like, only then to to lead to a grand finale (at about 5:00 min.) for 3 minutes that is thoroughly elated and even ecstatic, with (as is typical for Elbow) many musical layers on top of each other used before but now coming together as one again. One has to look holistically at a song like this in order to appreciate the whole (from a bird's view - pun intended) which allows one to really see the entire beauty of this great work.

Music a nice subject

i don't know what the real influence of music can be on the councisouness

but i like trash metal as megadeth and antrax the more violent part

a nice turn of events the discovery of the flower metal aka opera metal such as kamelot or avantasia

p.s. i very rarely listen to the text of the songs but more on the completness of the sound in all

so as to say a soft playing and a death metal voice in background is no music

"Son of Dracula", I had this album years ago and sold it because it spoke of the nether-world but I always loved the sound track of it, especially the song, "Have You Ever Watched A Moonbeam". "Remember" was a great song also! I just today found that it was made into a movie with Ringo Starr and Harry Nilsson and is about how the Son of Dracula becomes a human and has some very interesting aspects to which we all seek even the nether-world. I am posting the song that I admire the most on the album and then the movie so you can see what the album is about. Tis a bit weird but it is old, let me know what you think! Then is the soundtrack!

The song, Moonbeam!


The movie "Son of Dracula"!

The soundtrack!

And "in the meantime ;)" ... a bit of melodic alternative/punk rock from Berlin.

"Watch me overcome what I'm running from.
And change the tune so I let it go.
What matters now is story soon."


"I go back to zero."

This thread is getting a bit bulky, so I will close it, and open Music Part Two.
Access to posts here still works, but the new ones need to go under Part Two.
