Good background tour stuff on Queensryche & Robert T. there Lolly. Still got those pants? Just messing with ya.
1 of the best names for a band ever. Queensryche just sounds cool as s***. I had an opportunity to see them in high school, but something came up. Darn it.
Robert can play bass with the best of em.

Perfection, "The Rain Song"....

RIP Chris Cornell...one of the most iconic voices of the last 30 years. This comes from "Temple of The Dog", the next one will as well. This was a collaboration of Soundgarten and Green River (Early Pearl Jam) as a tribute to "Mother Love Bones" prodigy Andrew Wood...who overdosed. Quite the irony. Say hello to heaven Chris and for all those that think people have it made because they are famous...the psyche tells a different tale...

I keep thinking of Chris's lyrics from his song "Shadow Of The Sun" in light of how he passed away.
Once upon a time I was of the mind
To lay your burden down
And leave you where you stood
And you believed I could
You'd seen It done before
I could read your thoughts
Tell you what you saw
And never say a word
Now all that is gone
Over with and done - never to return[Chorus 1:]
And I can tell you why
People die alone
I can tell you I'm
A shadow on the sunStaring at the loss
Looking for a cause
And never really sure
Nothing but a hole
To live without a soul
And nothing to be learned[Chorus 2:]
And I can tell you why
People go insane
I can show you how
You could do the same
I can tell you why
The end will never come
I can tell you I'm
A shadow on the sunShapes of every size
Move behind my eyes
Doors inside my head
Bolted from within
Every drop of flame
Lights a candle in
Memory of the one
Who lives inside my skin[Chorus 2:]
And I can tell you why
People go insane
I can show you how
You could do the same
I can tell you why
The end will never come
I can tell you I'm
A shadow on the sun"Chris was an exceptional writer, artist, & composer that's for sure. I just wish we would stop losing musicians of high caliber & sophistication though. Can't we lose some cookie cutter boy bands instead? I mean does anybody miss manufactured corporate; no name talent? Hades no.

RIP Glen, my Dad and I used to sing this song together when i was a kid...

RIP Greg Allman....

RIP Pearl! You made it look like you had the basketball on a string! I was a Syracuse fan prior to your time there but you helped seal the deal! RIP!

RIP Tom Petty.....one of my all time faves. I had seen him play a few times but none was as good as at The Jones Beach Amphitheater in 1985...thunder and lightning coming off the angry Atlantic ocean in his background and after two delays........he just played his heart out in the rain! He began it with this song...

I prefer musicians who can put me in a trace & take me to another world for awhile. I love the slow & subdued drumming on this track. I always play "Hard On Me" when I'm in a reflective mood reminiscing about the past & what lead me here. Not just this thread, but what it all means man. Deep, I know.

Nice selections as always RR7. Appreciate the Blackie Lawless stuff as well as Rainbow, Whitesnake, Autograph, & several other bands you posted brother.
People unfamiliar with WASP always get the wrong impression. You know that Blackie had an addiction problem when it came to the opposite sex. That Apache frontman is very sharp. Part of it, was just designed to tick off the PMRC [Parents Music Resource Center]; Part of it was just to go against the grain to manufacture controversy to sell millions of records; & part of it was just the rock n roll lifestyle back in the day. Blackie is a very deep thinker who articulates his point of view exceptually well in 1 on 1 interviews overall.

Regarding my cover of "I Don't Care Anymore" by HY I posted yesterday, I forgot to mention this: My condolences to the family of Vinnie Paul, former drummer of Pantera, who passed away on June 22nd.
I always get depressed when musicians die because they represent the closest thing to pure creativity we have left in this world. Some comedians like George Carlin & Robin Williams float among this unique realm too.
When you see quality musicians bond with a crowd & occupy a brief live space where nothing else matters for a 2 hour set, it's pretty amazing.

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.

@southwest1 Post this in the Baseball thread. The Cubs fans will appreciate it. Thanks.
Btw, I like that Bob Dylan tribute a lot.

There are two teams that I have followed and been a fan of since my diaper days....one the Colts the other the Yankees. I know many hate the Yankees but I am proud of them going in to game 7 of the ALCS. They weren't evern supposed to make the playoffs and the future is bright! So for all those that hate them....some Damn Yankees!

These are hometown boys...well when you are from am island with about 8 million so to speak...

This song always reminds me of my late Father....I miss ya man....

Since going to concerts since mid 60.'s at 12 years old or so traveling around the country with friends & still going, just not traveling , i have just so many favorite songs and so many various live versions of same heard , many times an unexpected top one from the past popped up & I'd cry & still have vivid memories of those times
what would life be without music and all forms of art

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.

Yes it is....and I plan to do something about it. We are a country of diversity and we have embraced it as such, until a con man with a twitter account sought to divide us....for his own financial gain.
I respect other's views but I can not, or will not, accept the fraud that is being perpetrated on the American public anymore.
1 of the best names for a band ever. Queensryche just sounds cool as s***. I had an opportunity to see them in high school, but something came up. Darn it.
He is so gifted strumming on guitar. That man can play anything. Plus, Jimmy has aged quite gracefully. He looks so darn cool with a ponytail too. Robert Plant can still carry a nice tune as well.
