QUOTE (GeddyRulz @ Feb 10 2012, 11:03 AM)A couple bands on the list I'm not familiar with, but from the ones I know I'd pick either Faster Pussycat or Poison. No talent really, with either band. Shame on the peeps who picked Extreme or Mr. Big. Between those two bands, you have two amazing guitarists (Nuno Bettencourt and Paul Gilbert) and an amazing bassist (Billy Sheehan). And the other members of those bands ain't too shabby, either! WORD!!!!!!!!! Winger's drummer was Rod Morgenstein from Dixie Dregs, who is now teaching at university, and Mr Big's drummer, Pat Torpey, went on to tour w/ Robert Plant.Saw Mr Big once and during Pat's drum solo he sang a spot on pitch-perfect acapella version of "Something" by The Beatles. Not too shabby indeed.Re-listen to "Colorado Bulldog" or "Addicted to that Rush" from Mr. Big. Musicians playing music.

Yup, Robert was really into the psychedelics around that time. Great underrated album in my opinion. +2 Heard them earlier but never HEARD them till Bananafishbones. They're one crafty bunch cha sly one's they are. Also check out Terry Bozzio's Nine Short Film's. MAD I tell's ya MAAAAAaaadddddddd!

Micheal Schenker and ANVIL!! Feb 17th 2012. Yeah booooyyy.

Was great of Sam use THE coolest part of The Necromancer for the advert's. Yes,too much time was spent on "fringe-y" bands like Opeth et. al.Mastodon, while highly skilled, sounds to me like Helmet in a blender. Also glad Sam recognized Return of the giant Hogweeds single string tapping intro as well as the entire songs influence on so much that came after. Squire, Bruford,Giles, HACKETT!!Hell Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Wall will always hold a place in my heart because of where I was at the time: LA , hanging around outside the Sports Arena trying, like a zillion other people, to score tickets for the Walls last show. Out of the Zombie Apocalypse that was the crowd a tall skinny English bloke complete w/ scarf, shoulder-bag and Sweet era hair walks up to me, ME, and quietly asks if I need tickets! 3 please! We quickly paid and bailed and he was absolutely swarmed.Found our seat's just as the show started.I still have the stub and gaze at it every now and then. Yes, I like Pink Floyd and The Wall very much.

I mean damn, when dok you hear that vocal power in rock? It's closer to opera...and the beuautiful 6/8 music backing it up, that's such a damn good song, I think it's popularity made us forget how good it is, just like We are the Champions and Bohemian Rhapsody. We will rock you isn't all that great though except the guitar solo. beauty: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pMM4iwC-ag Won't open on my iPad But hell just about anything Freddy sings is amazing, especially the first few albums. get a pc fancy pants. yes - he had a beautiful voice. strong, range, very unique. i miss those days... Freddie, bar none. Now I love's me some Jon A., Paul M. and John L. but no one compares to the man who sang Mustapha. I never directly heard Freddie lift something from another singer but check out Tina Turner singing Fool in Love. Sorry, don't have a link but a good version is on the "What's love got to do with it" soundtrack.

Glad I was wrong. AWESOME review BTW

WOW, now THAT'S Van f***ing Halen!!!!!!!!!! I'd say that Wolfie has arrived! gotta go eat a bigass helping of crow for my earlier posts.

Tang.

Just maybe noodling about while the tape is running. Didn't sound like a serious worked out part. Loads of those from all instruments on the cutting room floor (to use a film making analogy). Still sweet to hear George's joyful voice singing with conviction in the knowledge that he had written a monster song.

QUOTE (RUSHHEAD666 @ Jan 31 2012, 05:00 AM)Carl Palmer is the shit. One of the greatest drummers in the world. He shouldn't be labeled PROG. I saw the Carl Palmer Band in San Francisco many years ago. Mind blowing. I think currently Gavin Harrison is the best but putting labels on drummers in one specific genre is totally lame. I'm glad my Simon Phillips vote was ignored for he is the true champion of drummers, even on a prog thred. The man can do it all. He can cover and kick ass in all musical genres. Some of you brainwashed zombies rip on METAL DRUMMERS on a prog drumming thread? Really? You ever hear Simon's drumming on "Sin After Sin" by Judas Priest? He ain't no fukkin' boring Dave Holland! You ever hear Simon's playing on the Pete Townshend solo albums? It's pretty progressive to me. Mike Rutherford was in a "prog" band. Even hear Simon play on Mike's solo album "Small Creep's Day?" Jeff Beck's "There And Back" could be labeled prog rock fusion. Simon also plays on "801 LIVE." Hello? PROG? Simon Phillips blows everyone on here away. Sorry Danny Carey, Neil Peart, Bill Bruford, and Michael Giles!! Step aside! Heck, even Billy Cobham blows them away too. That being said I will take Simon over Billy as well. Not even Billy can do "Space Boogie." JMO +1K. BTW, RUSHHEAD666, where is the Simon Phillips discography list at?Thanks man!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Ding-a-ling. Chuck Berry.

Carl Palmer! Brain Salad Surgery, Tarkus, Pictures at an Exhibition. Carl Palmer!
