So, let's talk MUSIC!

[The Bat]

If I could skillfully play an instrument (don't think I've tried) OR sing like a rock god, then music would be my flesh and blood. But alas, I have to settle by listening to lots and lots of different music. It's still great though.

Right now, I downloaded bunch of Tool, Saliva, Ozzy, Collective Soul, Phil Collins, and Airbourne.

Check out Airbourne (they sound like AC/DC...but so what? we need the hard rock back):

What's everyone else listening to? (youtube it if you can)

I love hard rock, melodic rock such as Whitesnake, Firehouse, Def Leppard, Motorhead, Saxon, Gary Moore, Tyketto, Dokken, Harem Scarem, Danger Danger, Winger, Pantera, Metallica, Scorpion, AC/DC, Megadeth, Van Halen, Kiss etc.

That, that Airborne song is cool. Very punchy, hard rock that I love!

I love Phil Collins too, especially his stuff with Genesis.

Hard Rock and Melodic Rock forever. F*ck all this emo sh*t, f*ck all this rap and hip hop sh*t, f*ck all this American Idol sh*t!

Gotta agree with every band you mentioned.

....except Winger. I think they suck.

Some of my favs: Thunder, Saigon Kick, Nightwish, McAuley Schenker Group, Kix, Altaria

Not gonna lie, I'm a huge classical music nerd. Favorites are from like the mid 19th century to the mid 20th century.. Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Rimsky-Korsakov, J. Strauss II, R. Strauss, Mahler, Shostakovitch, Barber, Holst (The Planets suite... oh man) the list goes on. I love opera too.. Wagner's operas are amazing.

Then jazz of course.. I'm a jazz guitarist so I love Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery, Pat Martino, Kurt Rosenwinkel... but of course the other instruments John Coltrane, The Brecker Brothers, Joey DeFrancesco, Oscar Peterson, Brad Mehldau, the list goes on. I play oboe too and there are some amazing jazz oboists out there that no one seems to know/care about- Jean Luc Fillon comes to mind.

I ****ing love power metal and symphonic metal. Nightwish is my favorite band, Epica, Kamelot, Rhapsody of Fire, Within Temptation, Stratovarius, Sonata Arctica... and of course Dethklok.

And I love Rap too... Immortal Technique, Talib Kweli, Wu-Tang Clan, Public Enemy.. and of course the stuff on the radio that I listen to as a novelty. Then I love any trance and drunken irish bar music. I listen to a lot of film soundtracks too...I like music.

No man, Winger rule. Reb Beach is an amazing guitarist and Kip Winger a fantastic singer and songwriter.

Thunder are great too, agreed.

It's learned. Buy an axe, or vocal training resources (or both), and get to work. :woo:

Rock n Roll is never gonna die!!:rockon:

 

[Effington]

Gotta go with the guitar Gods, with Clapton topping my list at #1. Then the standards of Hendrix, Van Halen, etc.

Also loving Robert Randolph, and my my friend's band Down the Line, who are a local gig, but can play!! The lead musician plays mandolin, harmonica, and violin, while the others play djembe, guitar, and a bass. Live, they all sing and play acoustic (except for the bass guitar), Eagles style. Check them out, http://www.myspace.com/downtheline or http://www.downthelineband.com

Kip Winger a fantastic singer and songwriter.

He did a fantastic acoustic version of Down Incognito on one of his solo albums, and I must say that it's one of my most favorite songs (at least that version). But the rest of his solo stuff is garbage IMO

Ever heard of JJ Cale? That MFer is smooth as butter.
