I remember when Dave Mustaine released this album & I knew Metallica made a huge mistake firing him. Every track on here is groundbreaking in the metal arena. Nobody was putting together such complicated arrangements on guitar. Not even close.
Plus, Nick Menza RIP made sounds come out of his drums that truly blew the doors off your house & shattered your windows too. LOL! Hard to believe such a scrawny guy could bring the thunder & lightning behind his kit but he could. Amazing man. Jesus. See...
I always feel compelled to defend Megadeth because they always get dismissed over Metallica & Dave is a genius in the metal realm. He truly is. Right up there with Ronnie James Dio. No, I'm not kidding.

Laying down "Sweet Caroline" courtesy of Neil Diamond AKA 'The Jewish Elvis.' Not bad man. I actually bobbed my head back & forth & sang along. Intoxicated or sober nobody can screw that song up.
I really admire anybody that goes on stage & makes folks forget about their problems for an hour or so. Kudos mi amigo!
All my foolish antics aside, you know what you're doing up there & it takes guts for adults to embrace their rock star ego way back from their high school days. Cool. Besides, if you signed with a major record label, your manager would probably embezzle millions illegally from you, you'd fight over creative control of your master studio demos when your label wants you to become more radio friendly by changing your signature sound, sleeping on tour buses loses it's luster around 6 months; it sucks having to protect your voice all the time when it's your main meal ticket; & after awhile you just want some darn privacy without fans & reporters in your face all the time.
All I'm saying is this: Worldwide fame isn't always a grand thing. So, just have a blast jamming with your friends in your spare time for kicks. SW1 is impressed Lolly. I mean that. No bull you know what.

Not enough people appreciate metal either. I like bands courageous enough to give this genre a go. I say that because you have to have the right front man to cut thru the guitar solos & not get drowned out by them. Plus, the drummer & bassist are the cornerstone to any quality heavy metal act since they set the foundation. The cool thing about metal is this: Even if your microphones, speakers, & sound system sucks, gritty vocal quality adds to the mystique of metal.
Established household name acts have the luxury of sound techs, drum techs, guitar techs, & lighting specialists which make anybody look & sound spectacular. Keep on rocking my man!
I like that you took on different genres too. Metal, pop, rock, country etc. Good variety there which shows your versatility & fans like it because that don't feel pigeonholed. No square peg in a round hole dilemma.

Watched "Reservoir Dogs" again last night, "K-Billy's Super Sounds of the Seventies Weekend ...was a great background for it. I decided to listen to some 70's tunes. Please feel free to add....

I just felt like listening to different genres of music, from different time periods....

Open Mic night...just stuff I like....feel free to add, as always...

OK Hoosiers, it is getting quiet up in here. While I am not a Hoosier, I never met one that I didn't like. Let's rock...Hoosier style...

I've said this before. To me, Indiana is the Colts, the Pacers, David Letterman, & John Mellencamp.
I know. I gotta give Bobby Knight some love too.
I'm still stunned that Dave didn't have John on his final week on late night. Mellencamp is to Indiana what Springsteen & Bon Jovi are to New Jersey man--An icon to their birthplace.

As they were introduced on one of their live albums....the best damn band in the land! I love so many different types of music but these guys made some incredible music...

Another one of my favorites. Was listening to JB just this past weekend. Incredible talent. He worked a lot with David Crosby... one of the songs DC gives credit to Jackson Browne is Delta. He (David) said "I was having trouble finishing the song and Jackson came in and just sorta pulled it out of me"
I am sure you have heard it before. I saw CSN live and also CPR (Crosby Pevar and Raymond, who is Davids son). CPR was small venue and very good. (I think I told you this before, but it was also before the 500 beers I have had since, lol).
I love the progression in this tune (The harmony isn't bad either)..... here it is
This is the version I like best though... David Crosby (Lead vocals), Jeff Pevar (guitar/ backup vocals) and James Raymond (Keyboard/ vocals)

In one of those moods...........

I thought it would be fun to post one hit wonders....please free to add.
Well this group actually has two hits....

"American Pie" is one of my favorite songs. I also like "Starry, Starry Night", which isn't as well known, but just as good. I like Van Gogh's painting, "Starry Night", and the song reflects the meaning behind that painting.
I hadn't heard about the domestic violence incident. I don't know what to think about that.

Rod Stewart and Jeff Beck.......................nuff said, "Faces".

Some duets that I have always liked...

Ha! I just realized RR7's status updates was about duets & I totally diss-ed Tom Petty. Oops! That wasn't by design. I just love Stevie probably on a weird, subconscious level I have never gotten a handle on yet....as a singer & musician...Not what you're thinking. I know; I know. Shut up while you're ahead or at least not that far behind right?
Well, I think Sigmund Freud did say there are no accidents & probably playwright William Shakespeare will co-sign that theory as well.
-
Okay, to make up for my lack of duet awareness snafu, I will leave you with this Gwyneth Paltrow & Huey Lewis song "Cruising Together" from the move 'Duets.' The video quality is poor, but the tune is catchy...
Plus, I like that Huey Lewis said once that having a top 10 or top 20 hit & being popular at the time doesn't mean you're a good band just that you happen to catch lightning in a bottle that resonated with fans on a large scale.

You might know this dude...some strange rumors in the late 70's...
-
Led Zeppelin had two of my all time favorite musicians, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page....both evolved as solo/other band artists.

Full albums Son!

You know how sometimes black women have a weave & older men sometimes buy rugs or toupees to mask or cover a bald spot on their head?
Is this guitarist named Chris Blade Johnson wearing a mop from the Home Shopping Network on his head as he jams out to "Prisoner" by Dokken?
Reminds me of Wayne's World with Dana Carvey & Mike Myers actually...
Or maybe his household cat naps up there while he plays I don't know.
Mullet mania man...Those were the days.

Since we already arrived in mullet heaven, cheesy glam rock with it's good old fashioned, sexist overtones & spandex workout gear seems like the next logical plateau right?
Lame, trashy, & catchy all rolled into one. I miss the 80's man. LOL! This was actually released in 2017 but sounds comically vintage though from the 1980's.
These boys from Sweden always crack me up! Almost like Spinal Tap tried to make a Top 10 train wreck single on purpose. I do like the tractor trailer mustache on the lead goof ball though. Figures, the lady has to play for the wrong team. Just joking!
I like stuff so bad it grows on ya after awhile like a fuzzy fungus which eventually becomes decent & dare I say enduring after awhile.

I know you wrote on my thread the other night about liking "The Beatles"...I replied that I was more of a "The Stones" fan....

Open Mic Night.......................

I love this song by "The Killers"....

I will return to football threads soon. Moving is so tedious. Selling your old place, deciding what to donate, pitch, keep, waiting to move into a new place, of course; the eternal joy otherwise known as paperwork--change of address stuff & fighting for reasonable disability accommodations in the new spot. Sigh, nothing is ever easy is it?
In the meantime, I need to hear Bruce & the boys live today. Hit me with some "Moonchild" please.
Ah, that's better.
I love women who view metal as an art form & can bring the house down as well as any man can. Singer Chaos Heidi does a killer version of "Moonchild" herself. Beautifully done. PS: The bonding with the cat session rocks too.
Even when I'm 80, if I make it that far; I'll still be listening to Iron Maiden & heavy metal til I drop. Superb gritty cover Heidi!

Two white boys that could belt out the rhythm and blues...

Tired of the negativity on here....just felt like listening to Stevie, whether it be solo. as a duet or with Fleetwood Mac.

I like that about you M-432. You're loyal to INDY, but also know that this HC/GM dynamic must be altered for the sanity of Colts fans worldwide.
No disrespect intended toward Ryan or Chuck at all. Thanks for your contributions to our team & city, but this partnership isn't working out anymore & a new direction is mandatory.

Felt like getting funky...
Really top notch covers there. I'm being serious.
Reminds me of Wayne's World with Dana Carvey & Mike Myers actually...
Saxophones rock BTW.
