Shut the **** up! Iggy is one of my favorite artists, ever. I wish I lived in Australia for that reason alone, and also because you guys have Big Day Out.

VC, list of favorite drummers?

Ooh, ooh almost forgot. One of the greatest voices in rock music disses Wolfmother. All hail Patton!
 
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">I thought that Stadium Arcadium was really good, especially the first few times I litsened to it, but that was because I was going through RHCP withdrawal (hadn't listened to them in like years). I finally picked up By the Way and Californication and they blew that album out of the water. Personally, Californication is my favourite, I don't really like their really old stuff, but I like it when the music's got a funky vibe to it.</div>

RHCP withdrawl - definitely experienced some of that after By The Way had been out for a while.

I can understand not liking their older stuff too. It's different, nothing like their current sound. It's really hard for me to compare it to their new stuff, because it's like comparing two different bands in two different genres.

While we're asking questions, here's one I've been meaning to ask, what bass(s) do you have, and what ever happened with the whole organ experiment? BTW I'm finally back in a band now too
cool.gif
</div>

I came really close to putting Page on there, but I didn't because I wanted to give Francis Rossi some love. He's really ignored when people talk about great 60's/70's rock.

As for my instruments, I have a 5-string Warwick Corvette $$ and a really shitty, old Fender p-bass, which I never whip out unless I've got a friend over playing w/me. The organ experiment has kind of died down for now. I've still got my Hammond B3, but I'm just concentrating more on bass. Every now and then I'll sit down and hammer out a few Doors tunes for the hell of it though.

Great news on your band too btw, let me know if you ever get any of your material put online, I'd love to hear it.
yay.gif

**** mike patton... the guy's opinion means ****. Even though Mr. Bungle may have been so much more advanced musically than 99% of the bands out there, Patton didn't add **** to it himself... just a name...

The guy is just an ass. He ripped of Kiedis's style back with Faith No More and ever since he got called out on it, he's been on a mission to give them a bad name... just check this tasteless **** out...

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...d=609724161&n=2

Yeah, that's right "The Ghost of Hillel Slovak"... **** him...

I'm sorry, I used to be a fan of is, but not after he pulls **** like that...

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">VC, list of favorite drummers?</div>

Ooo... that's a tough one, and I'm not sure if I could do it off the top of my head. I'll have to get back to you on that. Though I'd definitely list Bonham, Portnoy, Carey, Moon, Bruford, and maybe Mike Giles... I'd have to think about who else is out there... Throw some names at me, you're probably more knowledgable about percussionists than me anyway, lol... and yeah, I know I haven't named Peart, but as great as he is, I just can't include him on any list because I really can't stand Rush as a whole...

BTW - How'd you get up on stage AKIRA? That's amazing... the Iguana's gotta be one of the greatest frontmen in punk history...

Oh man it so cool, he was dancing around like he usually does right, and then he tells the band to quieten down or something and he says "You know, sydney are pretty good, and so is queensland and the rest of em but you guys..... you guys are the ****, get up here melbourne, get the **** up, common im not joking" so everyone in the front (all about my age as well) jumped up with him and it was amazing. me, 3 of my friends and Iggy Pop all singing 'I wanna be your dog' at the top of our lungs with our arms around each other, and i was there next to Iggy.
 
VC, Sasha - Thoughts on Eddie Van Halen and Santana?
 
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Voodoo Child:</div><div class="quote_post">Solid list... but where's the love for "Hey"? I know, kind of boring with no big solos or anything, but I'm really drawn to the simplicity of it for some reason...</div>

I haven't listened to Stadium Arcadium for awhile, I've been listening to BTW and BSSM, so I went back and listened to SA after this comment. I completely misplaced the song. It would be in my top 10-12.

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">And yeah, "Tell Me Baby" is a decent track and all. Like I've said before, the songs which I think are worst Peppers songs are better imo than the best of most bands. OT, but doesn't it really bug you that on the music video they say "life can be a little kiddie" instead of "life can be a little shitty"? Can't get over that... they really need new directors for their "21st Century" video too, because these last two been horrible.</div>

Life can be a little kiddie ruined the video, completely. I thought it was a decent video up until then.

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">By the way, have you gotten a chance to hear "Rivers of Avalon" or "Quixoticelixer"?</div>

No, I can't find it online. I want to hear them, though.

Well, here's my list...

1.) Terry Bozzio
2.) Bill Bruford
3.) Danny Carey
4.) Neil Peart
5.) Mike Portnoy
6.) Keith Moon
7.) John Bohnam
8.) Dave Lombardo
9.) Carl Palmer
10.) Mike Giles

Even though, Peart hasn't done anything noteworthy in 30-some years, he still deserves the spot. I can understand why you don't like him, he tends to rush his drumming very often.

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">VC, Sasha - Thoughts on Eddie Van Halen and Santana?</div>
I don't like Eddie. He's too gawdy with his playing. He has no tastefulness to his construction.

As for Santana, I never gave him much nod. I'm not really into the type of music he plays, I never really had an interest into latin music. As much progressive and experimental music I listen to though, he gets a nod for being innovative but just not my forte.
 
Voodo, you said something about a band similar to the Chilli Peppers? I reccomend Jane's Addiction. I like em a helluva a lot more than RHCP, more unique, more versatility, amazing at changing rythm.

I don't really like Jane's Addiction. Their lead vocals sound pretty crappy to me, I always feel like he isn't going with the melody or beat and screws up the song.
 
Which album did you listen too? Beacuse on Ritual De Lo Habitual and Nothing's Shocking he is amazing. Strays honestly sucked.
 
I don't know I listened to Ritual De Lo Habitual and it still doesn't appeal to me. I still think their lead vocalist has a whiney ass voice that sounds like he got one of his testicles chopped off.

Maybe it's just me.
 
I got a question for you, Voodoo. At what age did you notice that your music tastes started to change? Have you always liked the same stuff?

When I was younger I went through the pop phase like most middle schoolers and then I moved into rap but grew tired of it. Now as I enter my second year of high school, it seems like I'm starting to like more rock and the type of music that you are listening too. The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sublime, and The Raconteurs are all really good and groups that I enjoy listening too. Another group I like is the Goo Goo Dolls. I'm not sure if you guys like them but some of their songs are pretty good.
 
I went through a similar phase.

I started out liking anything that sounded good, then I went strictly hip hop. Now I think it's pure garbage. All I listen to really is rock.
 
Anybody, I can't put a damn name on this song. It's on the RHCP live DVD. Frusciante sings part of it after they do Around the World.

Here are some lyrics:

Mary if I hold your hand, you will understand and Mary if I kiss your lips I'll be at your command

I've heard that so many times, I just can't recall the name. Anybody?
 
I definitely went through a couple phases too, from pop rock when I was like 12-14, then into Limp Bizkit (ugh, God), KoRn, SoulFly, all that good stuff, and then when I was 16-17 I got into the "classic" rock stuff, Zeppelin, The Doors, the Who, all that. I think it's natural for someone's tastes to change as they go through life. Different music/lyrics mean different things to you at different points of your life, but the best part is that music never goes away and you can always find something that fits you at a given time.

Man, I want to touch on a lot of things brought up in this thread, but I've gotta get off in a minute, so I thought I'd at least address this...

Song #4 sound familiar?
laugh.gif


Frusciante's great at taking songs like that and putting his own spin on them. He does an amazing cover of The Sweet's "Fox on the Run", a song I can't stand the original version of but wouldn't stop playing it when I heard Fru's take on it. I should send it to you next time I catch ya' online...
 
Haha, yeah I love when artists do that. Maynard incorporated some Elvis lyrics into Prison Sex a couple of times on tour.
 
I had a feeling he didn't sing that. I remember, back when I was littler, my neighbor used to always play that song. That's why it sounded so familiar!

Thank you Voodoo.

Yeah, next time you catch me online, you need to send me a lot of stuff.
 
Voodoo - Chevelle, Audioslave, Foo Fighters?
 
I too would like to listen to your opinion about Audioslave.

Rage Against the Machine is one of my favourites at the moment and I haven't listened to Audioslave enough to how they sound.
 
Chevelle was good back in the day. I remember when I seen them live in 1997 at a festival near Gurnee when they were still young teens. After they went to a bigger label I just think their music went south.
 
Voodoo, I presume that you're moving to your university, but I have another question.

Your favorite 10 vocalists, in Rock and overall. I know you're a huge fan of Alicia Keys, so I bet she'd make your overall list, but what about rock vocalists, as well?
