Today I decided to listen to two of my favorite rock guitar heros and one great vocalist. Guitarist' Robin Trower, Ronnie Montrose and vocalist Davey Pattison.
I listened to Trower songs: Bridge of sighs, Stitch in time, The fool and me, my personal favorite- Too rolling stoned and others.....
Then I pulled out "Gamma". I listened to: Razor King, Wish I was and Skin and bone and others.....
Davey Pattison hooked has also up with Michael Shenker also. I really enjoyed my day so far. Anybody else heard anything good?
Today I host party and I play Jan Blomqvist, Majnoon, Sasha & John. Also displaying some Burning Man videos. my moonshine is in progress soon we get DRUNK!
Checked those names and none had played them anywhere on what's playing threads. I stream-em currently.
Definitely an over the top Steven Wilson fan here. Two thumbs (and two big toes) up for “Hand Cannot Erase.”
I first heard Porcupine Tree’s “Dark Matter” about ten years ago and was HOOKED. I own all but one LP from them now, every one from Steven Wilson as well as all the King Crimson stuff he re-engineered/produced, YES, Gentle Giant, and more.
My wife’s NOT a rock fan, but she sat through several PT concert DVD’s with me - latest from “Home Invasion” and with few exceptions, really enjoyed the music.
I’ve been around musicians my entire life (me I play HiFi mostly and a LITTLE jazz drumming for relaxation), worked in a music store as a tech/roadie in the early 1970s, met a LOT of SUPER-genius musicians (Jimmy Buff-FAY used to come into the shop from time to time), Keith Emerson, Genesis, Kinks, Humble Pie and others as we supplied equipment for local shows and fast-forwarding 50 years I think Wilson is one of the most highly underrated musical geniuses/producers of our time, comparable if not equal to Brian Eno.
Debut recordings and both have excellent content. Alter Bridge has 7 albums behind them and none are weak. If you believe "Rock" is dead see them live or at minimum give them a listen. A late Friday night vinyl session follows.
