Ginger Baker- Air Force
Whats playing on your system today?
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?

lezdam, facten, martykl- A lot of good music mentioned this morning. Some of it I was unaware of and have been listening to it already, Thanks! Like "Stray Dog" and "The rides". Both are great. I see Stray dog did a Beatles cover of Drive my car. I have BBM, definitely a supergroup. Moving onto Jeremy Spencer and Brett Lucas. Gonna see what their about. I haven't listened to Mr. Spencer sine the Fleetwood Mac days. N |
Back on 4/6, just a few post above, I mentioned Candlebox. I know they are just another Seattle band in a long list of them. Not the best not the worst. But the song "Rain" stands out to me. It's got a blues groove that is different from the rest of their music. I saw them years back live at the Univercity of Cincinnati. A fan tossed a Viking helmet with horns on stage. The lead singer duct taped it to his head and performed the next several songs. It was a good rock n roll concert, in my opinion. I found this link on YouTube for "Rain". It.was captured live in seattle. https://youtu.be/dvU8AWFqGGE N |
It is worth seeing him. I have seen RT 4 time at the Fillmore West, last was Sept 2015. He has been touring here, and the USA every other year for 10 years.or more He sounds just like his 70 Live albums spot on . Fillmore is festival standing small venue, easily you can stand 4 rows from stage. He usually plays 2 songs from newest album then goes into his most classic stuff. Usually plays only at small venue Like clock work he starts right at 8:30 and is finished exactly at 10:30. does one oncore set and always finishes with his most Blues song His latest album fits right in with his earliest stuff ,Awesome , I played it 4 times last night. Remember Nutty YOU started this as a RT- Montrose Guitar Hero thread, I cant agree more My System is still on Solid State HOT Stand By Mode R |
Any ambrosia fans out there? Classified as progressive/soft rock. Big fan. Some of the recordings are better than others. I do recall some of the vinyl sounding pretty good. I pulled out some of my favorites today. I listened to several CD'S but some of the tunes that are stuck in my head are- "How can you love me", "For Openers", "Holding on to yesterday" and Nice, nice very nice". I really anjoy the vocal harmonies. N |
Today I started with Alice Cooper, "Hey stoopid". (1991) It has a long list of guest appearances. Ozzy, Joe Satriani, Slash, Vai, Vinnie Moore, Mick Mars, Hugh McDonald and Nikki sixx. Listened to "Styx Paradise Theater". I remember the albumn/vinyl had a picture on it. If your a Styx fan, as I am, I wonder if you ever realized that track 4, "Nothing ever goes as planned" is almost entirely "Reggae? (Oh, one more item. Rory Gallagher is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame, yet. Go figure). N |
OK, y'all...memory lane.... Peter Murphy, "Cuts You Up" (Yup...every time) The Smiths, "How Soon Is Now?" (Was yesterday soon enough?) Spooky Tooth, "Waitin' For The Wind" (Gotta love the Hammond hammer...) Public Image Ltd., "Rise" (Cranky?....Yezz...) Mink DeVille, "Spanish Stroll" (Zoot suite..) The Smithereens, "Strangers When We Meet" (Now and forever...) The Waitresses, "Jimmy Tomorrow" (...and I'm allergic to civilization...) Fred Neil, "The Other Side of This Life"; Jefferson Airplane, ditto..just for contrast, y'understand...;) Blodwyn Pig, "Dear Jill" (Slidin' into heaven...) Blue Rodeo, "What Is This Love" (This is a great one for dusting off the woofers, BTB...) |
Music library playing tracks in random order. Currently Vivaldi 4 seasons. Recently Children's Village of Jerusalem, Eagles, Agent Orange, The Romeros, Traffic, Astrud Gilberto, Miles Davis. Need to queue up Rite of Spring soon. Start some riots and all that... 😎 Nice to to be able to just relax and let the computer decide what I should hear next. |
A quick search I did not see Tommy Bolin listed w other members Among others. I saw Chicago. Cheap Trick. And Steve Miller Band all inducted I must say that since this thread started 3 weeks ago. My system has been playing or on Stand-by warm up mode ready to play something ever since. Last night I also plays some Aretha Franklin greatest hits. On CD R |
radfrad, Great set last night. I read that DP was going to be inducted. Took them long enough. Did Tommy Bolin get mentioned? I know Glenn Hughes was slated to be included. Today so far I have listened to Max Webster. The albumn is called Universal Juveniles. The particular song is "Battle Scar". The song features RUSH on the recording! Next was Hero Jr. A Grungy little band! Songs were a cover of the Beatles "Eleanor Rigby", originals "Bottom of the end", "Graveyard of mirrors" N |
After listening to David Gilmour and Pink Floyd yesterday I was reminded of a song by Paul Rogers and the Law. "Stone", and it features David Gilmour. There is other talent on the albumn as well, Kenny Jones, Pino Palladino and Brian Adams. "Stone" is my fav cut though. Aslo listened to a cut by Riot, "Shadows". Then a song by Tony Iommi featuring Ian Astbury, "Flame on". Great stuff. Ian Astbury also has 2 solo albumns. Not great but worth a spin if your a fan. Now I'm tracking "Just Tonight", by The Pretty Reckless, just for fun! N |
asvjerry, I watched the YouTube link for Deadmau5. It is a great show and the song is fantastic as well. Never hear of the artist prior to your post. Yes, artist! Thanks for the recommendation. Hello tfl303, I took your advice and listed to Duke Elington, "Live at Newport". I did enjoy every minute. Very nice recording. N |
nutty, re Deadmau5.."I Remember" is one of my favs...softer, but all of his skill at harmonic manipulation in play. Check out his live concerts on YT for what 'stage craft' has become. If 'light shows' like that had been around in the '60's, some of us would still be slack-jawed. *L* And the shows 'explain' his constant and consistent rhythm as a segway theme. EDM and 'house' are subject to disdain and rightly so, but he's one of the better artists (yeah, I'll allow that claim) at it. But I've been accused of bain gramage and being enraged in sonically antisocial proclivities so I could be dis'd as being 'not mutual' or a 'deformed source' of misinformation....;) |
Man, you guys are talking my language! Lots of great people listed here, particularly Don Dixon and Marti Jones, whom I love. I view Buddy and Julie Miller as the new Don & Marti---great songs, singing, playing, and production. Their music makes me happy. And hey, I got my fair share; it's bass players who don't get much ;-). |
Love the Continental Drifters, DBs, Don Dixon, Golden Palominos, et al. I associate Mitch Easter's Let's Active and early REM with that genre as well as the Connells, Guadalcanal diary, the Jayhawks (who have a new one out) because of the vocals, and for pure garage jangle fun, the Tim Lee 3. Tim Lee was part of the Windbreakers from that era and has a trio with his wife. Their latest "33 1/3 " is worth a spin. In a completely different style, now that Spring is in the air, I have been enjoying Stick Figure's "Set in Stone" which is a west coast stoner reggae outfit along the lines of Sublime and Slightly Stoopid. Check out "Fire on the Horizon" on youtube. Nice background music for margaritas by the pool. Sounds great on my system too. |
Bdp, A little free association here: Will Rigby.........Amy Rigby. Will Rigby's ex-wife Amy Rigby is a wonderful performer in her own right (as well as in her duo with Don Dixon's wife, Marti Jones (who, incidentally, sings like an angel)). Amy always shares a little aphorism in her concert between-song patter (and its one that I'm sure you know): The drummer is the one guy in the band that never gets laid. She follows that with one of her best original tunes: "Tonight, I'm Gonna Give The Drummer Some". |
The Continental Drifters were (are?) a fantastic band! They did a residency at an underground (literally---it was in a basement) club on Hollywood Blvd. in the early-to-mid 90’s, playing every Monday night (iirc) for a long time. Everybody in L.A. went to those shows, and guest artists would often join them onstage. Besides the aforementioned Peter Holsapple (whose drummer in the dB’s, Will Rigby, is now working with Steve Earle. Small world!) and Susan Cowsill (at the time girlfriend of then-L.A. resident Dwight Twilley), members included Vicki Peterson of The Bangles, Dream Syndicate bassist (and major a-hole) Mark Walton, and incredibly good drummer (and singer) Carlo Nuccio, who played on Tori Amos’ first album. One of the best live bands I’ve ever seen; their albums are pretty good, too. |
