Music!

Yeah Fu Manchu rocks, but I didn't care for California Crossing, so I haven't bought any of their stuff since then. I love King of the Road.

If you like them, ever listened to Josh Homme's original band, Kyuss? That's chunky.

heard of Kyuss, but never listened to it. yea, california crossing was a little too produced. not raw enough. fu's "the action is go" and "in search of" are two of the best. even better than "king of the road", which is pretty damn good!

i put "rated r" in the truck cd player this morning, so i'll give it another whirl. had to listen to S.O.D. 1st!

I like a lot of different stuff - much of which has been offered up in this thread. Currently, I've been into a lot of newer or more 'out there' stuff - Get Up Kids, Towncrier, Aquabats, Wheatus. Older stuff, too - Weezer, Collective Soul, Fountains Of Wayne, Webb Wilder, Liz Phair, etc. But, whenever I blast tunes, one band always finds it way into the CD player: The Only Band That Still Matters!

A while back my wife and I were browsing in our local music store and "Special One" was playing over the stores system....we were like "who the hell is this?" Turns out the CD playing was the last one the store had in stock, and I swiped it up, mid-song! I think the guy was kind of pissed that we bought it, but, oh well. I still play that disc. I always skip the first song, but the rest is great to just chill by.

Yeah, I like that one, but it is really different for CT. My favorite 'recent releases' are still their 1997 CD, simply titled Cheap Trick and my Music For Hangovers CD and/or DVD.

A side note: CT guitarist Rick Nielsen is part owner of Piece Brewery & Pizzeria in Chicago. Good pizza and some really nice beers!i

I don't know quite how to feel about this. I'm on the young end of the spectrum for age, but the old end for music.

Beatles (say what you will, but Elvis did not create rock, that was done by John, Paul, George, and Ringo), Floyd, Skynyrd, Zeppelin, Stones, CCR, Bowie.....NIN, TOOL (highly recommend Adam's first band Peach), RHCP (Frusciante's solo stuff is worth checking out, the boy can play), Soundgarden, Audioslave (catch the cornell connection?), Alice in Chains, Nirvana (QOTSA "songs for the deaf" was propelled to a whole new level thanks to Dave Grohl), Sublime....Miles Davis (the king of cool) the list goes on and on and on

At the risk of sounding like Bob Seger, today's music ain't got no soul. Whiny @$$holes complaining about making millions while having no talent and trying to make 13 top ten hits instead of making 1 album. Give me something I can listen to from beginning to end, and one song flows into the next. Not some fragmented piece of crap that a record exec thinks is good. When I want some arrogant prick who doesn't even listen to music to tell me what is good, I'll start watching MTV again.

 

[DeRoux's Broux]

i agree on Dave Grohl's "energy" on Songs for the deaf, although he only plays on a few tracks. one of the reason's i bought it. i'm kind of in the same boat. i like alot of older music. but, there are some good, new tunes out there. Whiskytown and/or Ryan Adams, Jack Ingram (TX guy), etc. just have to dig a little, and take a chance on buying a cd that could end up as a coaster! and no need to pit elvis against the beatles. they both contributed tons to music, then and now...........
cheers!

I bought Desert Sessions 9 &10 (Josh Homme and others side project) and I'm quite impressed. I'm new to it--and I haven't heard anything but DS 9 & 10 and DS 1 & 2. I acquired that illegally through Winmx (shhh...) and it freaking rocks. About 7/8ths of it is completely instrumental but it just kicks ass all around. Amazon currently sells it for almost 80 bucks.

Also picked up the very first Queens of the Stone Age disc (after they found a bunch hidden somewhere) and its awesome. I tend to like raw rock way more than the over-produced crap, so this is a treat. That was the one thing about Songs for the Deaf that bugs me....all that radio station mumbo-jumbo between each song, even if some of it is funny....how about "Kip Kasper--I need a saga, what's the saga?, its Songs for the Deaf....."

mr.bill salute on the equipment. my father was a band member (family owned country band though i never aquired a taste for country) and i have most of the band's guitars, fiddles, and such. a few old martins - one les paul gold series - some old gibsons like gibson j-45, and a few epi's. been playing since i was around five or so - acording to the super8 films my dad took

but for music you guys sound old .... lol j/k i like a wide variety - when i'm up in the barn brewing you're likely to hear jimi hendrix belting out red house - when i'm down on the porch chilling with a brew you're likely to hear pantera - but i do like the new stuff coming out as far as metal and heavy/hard rock. i just can't deal with the pop - of any generaltion for that matter

 

[homebrewer_99]

I listen to just about anything while brewing.

 

[Dude]

Any Dropkick Murphys fans?

I just bought the new disc (Warrior's Code) and it is freaking awesome. It has actually managed to supplant Sirius radio AND Lullabies to Paralyze (Queens of the Stone Age) in my jeep for the for the past few days!!!!

The single they have on the radio is catchy, "Sunshine Highway", but its not the best song on the disc by a longshot. Many fans like Blackout (CD before this one) better, but this one really kicks too.

 

[AlaskaAl(e)]

I actually prefer Sing Loud, Sing Proud and Do or Die better than Blackout but I like all their stuff. I haven't gotten the new one yet but I'll certainly check it out. I had the pleasure of seeing them in Dublin in 98 and I was hooked ever since. Good stuff man, good stuff.

Oh yeah, Sing Loud, Sing Proud is by far thier best, IMHO.
