| Bands/artists you never got to see live in their heyday, but would've liked to. Good observation about the NYD’s, @edcyn (The Sex Pistols also sucked live). When I was living in NYC in 1982 I saw Jerry Nolan’s pink Ludwig drumset in a pawn shop. Guess he needed a quick fix. @larsman: Seeing The Beatles live was not about act... | |
| Dustcover Blues So what we have here is a perfect example of knowledge and facts (compliments of atmasphere) vs. ignorance and alternative "facts" (untruths). | |
| the greatest pop song ever? Revisiting this thread (which I came to late four years ago), and reading every entry, I see a bunch of my all-time favorites: "God Only Knows", "The Weight", and "A Whiter Shade Of Pale". A few I don’t see (though I may have missed them) are: -... | |
| Tune of the Day For those of you discovering Emitt’s debut, here’s another you gotta hear: Sincerely by The Dwight Twilley Band. Another Power Pop masterpiece by a remarkable trio: Dwight on songwriting, piano, rhythm guitar, and vocals, Phil Seymour on drums and... | |
| What song have you played the most? Can’t leave out "Like A Rolling Stone". It’s easy to over-look, until one hears it again. I just did, and it still sends shivers up my spine and makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Definitely in the All-Time Top 10 songs imo. | |
| Tube Line Stage around $5k If you can find a used one, the EAR-Yoshino 868PL (phono and line). Designed and manufactured by the brilliant Tim de Paravicini. | |
| Sounds like a hot stamper! Jackpot Records, Willie Nelson, "....and then I wrote" Well @jbhiller, it was actually Fahey who released it ;-) . T Bone was signed to the label by well known producer Denny Bruce (Fahey himself, Leo Kottke, The Fab T-Birds, The Blasters). Oddly, he is listed as the album’s "director". It’s a real g... | |
| Sounds like a hot stamper! Jackpot Records, Willie Nelson, "....and then I wrote" I neglected to cover one other factor in the LP sound equation, that of the mastering engineer. The vast majority of LP titles were mastered only once, and all LP’s of that title were made from that one original lacquer (what a mastering engineer ... | |
| Sounds like a hot stamper! Jackpot Records, Willie Nelson, "....and then I wrote" - A "cut-out" is not an early pressing of an LP title, and is in fact amongst the last copies of a title made. When the sales figures for a given title drop below a certain number in a calendar year, the record company may decide to delete the tit... | |
| Rock musicians with musical education. Kenny Aronoff (best known as John Mellencamp’s drummer in the 80’s-90’s) is a very well educated and trained musician (check his history on wikipedia if interested), yet is imo a very boring drummer. "Stock" parts, nothing special. Springsteen’s d... | |
| Bands/artists you never got to see live in their heyday, but would've liked to. I actually saw Them in 1966, on their last U.S. tour with Van Morrison in the group. They were pretty darn great, tough R & B. What The Stones were unsuccessfully trying to sound like. Also that year The Coasters, who had a crackerjack 3-piece... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report The lone album by The Notorious Cherry Bombs, Rodney Crowell and Vince Gill's group, a title in serious need of finally being issued on LP. | |
| What song have you played the most? Fun fact: The all-time most played song on UK radio is "Whiter Shade Of Pale", an of course fantastic song. | |
| Rock musicians with musical education. @frogman: You make a good case, with which I agree wholeheartedly. The only genius I’ve known majored in music in college, got his masters in education, and spent his final years (he died from a heart attack at only 55 years of age) recording Bach... | |
| Rock musicians with musical education. Schooling can help one develop one’s inate talent, and understanding theory---however learned---can help make a better musician. But remember, Danny Gatton was completely self-taught, as is Ry Cooder. Of course there aren’t many Gattons and Cooder... |
