Wolfmother s/t is one of the best rock albums, it’s got the right degree of insanity and chemistry to make it unique. They broke up after it blew up, and all the remaining guitarists follow ups were overproduced and trying to recreate the magic. Greta is admirable simply because the vocalist somehow sounds like Robert Plant and so him and his buddies are living the dream grifting record labels playing zeppelin jams. Sure as hell beats working a dead end job or in a cubicle farm in your early 20’s.

i listened to greta von fleet on recommendation from a friend and it sounded to me like a zeppelin cover band started slipping in originals hoping to pass them off as deep cuts and eventually made enough for an album. it's hilarious (and not unexpected) that the grammys fell for it, but i can't hold it against the band because if i knew as a 14-year-old that was a legitimate career option, my life would have gone in a very different direction that said, i haven't listened since because as soon as i start i just want to listen to zeppelin instead, which is probably more about me getting old because i didn't have that problem as much with wolfmother and black sabbath

But when I try GVF, I just go back to Wolfmother. There just isn't any "umph" to their music. Their hooks just don't give me the feels.

Wolfmother get poo poo on a lot, but their original lineup was a killer live band. I'm really glad I caught them on the tour for their self titled album.

Hey, good for them!  Can't say that I care about their music, though. If I want to hear a dude trying to ape Robert Plant to great effect while doing their own thing, I just listen to Soundgarden.

Goddamn, all the memories. Weird storytelling time incoming, which I guess kinda qualifies for Stupid Music poo poo? I remember watching a full Soundgarden show with my best friend back in elementary school in like mid 1992, since his older brothers were both super big in all the 90's bands from Grunge, to metal, to alternative and the only times they wouldn't constantly change the channels was when a music video channel like MTV or The Box (I think? I remember it was either that or MTV that occasionally did cool poo poo like that; maybe I'm wrong) did full-on concert broadcasts. After I taught him how to sorta play the guitar well enough to play the basic chords a little under a year-and-a-half afterwards, he often helped me with busking. We sorta formed our first band to play mostly goofy Nirvana, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins and Soundgarden covers because thanks to mostly his older sister, we often knew the songs forwards and backwards.  For the longest time, I couldn't remember the exact show, but the fact that Cornell was often in a number of states of shirtlessness, I thought it was one of the European festival ones. Fast-forwards 10 years later, and the bass player of my first "real" band only listened to metal (early At the Gates, early In Flames and early Opeth were as "light" as he went), but one day in late 2002, while in California, a friend of mine in Los Feliz had all these shows on VHS and Beta, and he had three from Soundgarden all in one VHS, including the one you just shared. I remembered that we ended up watching most of the Pinkpop one (the one which ends with Chris sorta-crucifying his Les Paul Custom Silver-turned-greenburst at the end of "Jesus Christ Pose"), but we watched a good chunk of the other shows, which is when I finally remembered that it was the Washington show you just shared that I had watched some 26 years ago. So yes, thanks for that trip down memory lane.

Jason Sextro posted:my favourite part about kingdom come is when their singer tried to claim he'd never heard of led zeppelin The guitar player also claimed Jimmy Page was overrated and he was mostly into Hendrix. I don't mind GVF for what they are--a watered-down Zep retread for when you've worn those Zep LPs thin--but every time I hear them all I can think is they're really going to regret writing all these songs at the top of their singer's range in his early twenties. These are the songs they're going to have to reliably reproduce live their entire career and unless they drop them in pitch later on it's 100% going to be a problem. For reference, watch any recent video of Tesla doing material from their debut album and cringe along anytime Jeff Keith goes high on "Modern Day Cowboy". loving ouch.

I was there for the whole Kingdom Come debacle. This was before the internet, so at first we liked them for sounding like Led Zeppelin. But then we understood we had to hate them for sounding like Led Zeppelin. It was one of those "extremely online" moments before any of us were online. I just felt bad for them as they got flamed into obscurity and were run right back out of the music biz. As an aspiring music-maker I felt their pain.

If anything, Jimmy Page is underrated. Yeah, he was sloppy live, but those tones, those overdubbed harmonies...

Gary Moore's "Still Got The Blues" album changed my life and I mean that in the best way. I give him a pass for co-opting blues music because he opened my eyes and ears, and I love playing and singing the tunes on that record. Wow! I hadn't heard this before. I think it owns. There was a record that came out when I was in a blues band. We called ourselves "The Blues Merchants." The album was a collection of blues-rock tunes sung by Paul Rogers, the lead singer of Free and Bad Company. My lead singer/keyboardist gave me a copy of it. There was this incredibly cool version of a Muddy Waters song called "She Moves Me" on there and Gary Moore played the guitar on it. Here is a live recording (warts and all) from a gig I played back in October 1995 where we covered this song. I went nuts with it but I can't say it's very nuanced or subtle. https://soundcloud.com/dr-faustus777/she-moves-me I hope you enjoy it. That is the JEM77FP into a Peavey Classic 50 and a Peavey Blues Classic multi-amp rig. Dr. Faustus fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Feb 11, 2019 |
