I was listening to this soundtrack today and when I looked at YouTube found they had the entire animation there. This is 'The Point' from the 1970s.  The version I have had Dustin Hoffman as the voice of the father so this one sounds a bit weird to me because he isn't the father's voice in this one. But the father in this one is Ringo Starr and that's pretty good too.

Anyway, I recommend watching the whole thing if you get a chance. It's a little slow to start and the animation seems a bit crude but it's well worth the watch.  It's got some great songs later and a cute imaginative storyline.   It definitely wasn't one of my favourites the first time I watched it but it's really grown on me and it's one of my favourites now.

Cornetto, The Point was one of my favs too. "The whole point to the Pointless Forest is that there is no point" still sticks in my head. I haven't watched it since it originally aired on TV. I'll check it out on YouTube.

Quoted from michel


In this thing we're in called "Earth Time" we see things in the perception of unwholeness and incompleteness - the necessary "hard part" in growing.

The truth is, that everything already exists in its perfect form; we just don't see it yet. Kind of like when you head on a trip somewhere you've never been before. It still exists, only you've never seen it before.

Thanks for the video. And Michael... I'm downloading The Point. I do remember it, but it was sooooo LONG ago. Wow.

I once had a Madonna song in my head for about five days.  And I really hate Madonna.  I actually got drunk at one point in hopes of drowning the song.

Didn't work.

What I finally did was play CCR's Fortunate Son five or six times straight.  That did the trick.

I love Madonna.  Old Madonna though.  Before she got socially consious and preachy.

I once had the horn part from Otis Redding's "Huckle buck" in my head for two years.  There was a lot of weed involved though.

and finally, the most beautiful piece of classic ever written (IMO). If you don't know Erik Satie (1866-1925) yet, you don't know what you're missing.

My band, for the most part... But U2's "No line on the horizon" & "unknown Caller" and any and everything Matthew Good. As always... but probably just to get ideas for my own stuff. :(

Also, I find "wrecking Ball" to be one of the best songs in the last 10 years. Incredible song from a damn good nearly unknown band.

Baltis, do you have a youtube video of your band? I would love to hear your sound.

I have to add two songs that have been playing in my head interchangeably over the week.
First is Sizzla ft Rihanna "Give me a try" and the other is Coldplay's "Viva la vida" (I think Chris Martin's the bomb) lol!

Btw, I hope Sizzla's patois intro wont make you go "WTF?"

I can't stop listening to "The Hazards of Love" in its entirety by The Decemberists.  At first I was on the fence about it, as it's a 17-track CD that plays as one long song, but it's actually quite amazing.  It demands a full listen each time.  Which can be quite time consuming, but it's worth it.  :-)

I thought I should post all the lyrics to Michel's song link above so you can all sing along with me!  ;D

Look inside,
Look inside your tiny mind
Now look a bit harder
Cause we're so uninspired,
so sick and tired of all the
hatred you harbor

So you say
It's not okay to be gay
Well I think you're just evil
You're just some racist who
can't tie my laces
Your point of view is medieval

Fuck you (Fuck you)
Fuck you very, very much
Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please don't stay in touch

Fuck you (Fuck You)
Fuck you very, very much
Cause your words don't translate
And it's getting quite late
So please don't stay in touch

Do you get,
Do you get a little kick out of
being slow minded?
You want to be like your father
It's approval your after
Well that's not how you find it

Do you,
Do you really enjoy living a
life that's so hateful?
Cause there's a hole where
your soul should be
Your losing control of it and
it's really distasteful

Fuck you (Fuck You)
Fuck you very, very much
Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please don't stay in touch

Fuck you (Fuck You)
Fuck you very, very much
Cause your words don't
translate and it's getting
quite late
So please don't stay in touch

Fuck you, Fuck you, Fuck you,
Fuck you, Fuck you, Fuck you,
Fuck yooooou

You say
You think we need to go to war
well you're already in one
Cause it's people like you
who need to get slew
No one wants your opinion

Fuck you (Fuck You)
Fuck you very, very much
Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please don't stay in touch

Fuck you (Fuck You)
Fuck you very, very much
Cause your words don't
translate and it's getting
quite late
So please don't stay in touch

Fuck you, Fuck you
Fuck you, Fuck you
Fuck you, Fuck you

Lilly Allen

**I will be singing this all the way to the grocery store and back.  ;D

Anywho it was a very dramatic horror. i referenced an appalachian folk song in it that my mommy used to sing to me. Awww. The scots have argued their rights to it cause it mentions "Clyde". no matter. One of the most beautiful and emotional charged songs i've ever heard in my life.

As a total grunge freak, it's fucking awesome to hear something new from Alice In Chains. While their new lead singer can't quite compete with Layne Staley when it comes to intensity, he can definitely hold his own. I'm amazed how much this track (and the new album as a whole) sounds like the good old Alice In Chains.

Truly amazing lyrics. And yet I cannot hide from Him. No place I go can I hide.

Hear footsteps creak the floor
The shadows give away
Someone outside the door
Won't let 'em in

Half damaged gears to grind
A run down broke machine
That steals your peace of mind
Before you know it's gone
Lay doubt, weight

Silence burning, hold your tongue
Keep a separate soul they'd know

Hiding in the dark that's under
Pulling to the surface
Stumble, fall

A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense and alone I...
H-i-i-i-i-i-i-d-e

A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense and alone I...
H-i-i-i-i-i-i-d-e

[Savagely wicked restart]

These things I hate in you
Also reflect it seems
Distortion laced with spite
Takes you out of me
Late now, laid

Hiding in the darkness under
Pulling to the surface
Somethin' crawling on your skin
Discomfort makes you break and run
Stumble, fall

A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense and alone I... h-i-i-i-i-i-d-e
A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense and alone I...
H-i-i-i-i-i-d-e
It's why you never tell me heaven's on your mind
It's why you never tell me heaven's on your mind
That's why you'll never tell me heaven's on your mind
That's why you'll never tell me heaven's on your mind

A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense and alone I...
H-i-i-i-i-d-e
A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense and alone I...
H-i-i-i-i-d-e

It's why you never tell me heaven's on your mind
A vengeful mind...
Oh god oooooh
Selfish plans, a vengeful mind
It's all gone
Oooooh
Except for the cross
A vengeful mind just reached inside

Lyrics from Alice in Chains - A Looking in View

And thus we have the unique position of existing within two polarities.

Jwent, I know for certain I've heard this before, but it was sung by a different artist.

I just can't remember who.

If you manage to get the time to research it, I'd appreciate it. Or I will tomorrow and see what I come up with. I'm almost thinking a country artist, but it might have been kind of a country/folk artist. I'm not sure, but it was quite a different arrangement although the words are the same. I think it had a faster tempo.

Glad to see the wonderful Miss Allen here - Fuck You is one of several great songs on her second album, "It's Not Me, It's You". "22" is truly brilliant.

Seriously underrated singer/songwriter.

Those who know my work may not be at all surprised to learn I am currently working on a script entitled "Last Night Lily Allen Saved My Life"!

The song, however, that I have stuck in my head right now is "Sway".

When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more

Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway I go weak

I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway I go weak

I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
You know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now

Re: Sway and Michael Buble-- I love his music!!!

When this was popular, I used to overdose my son with it and get all mischievous. I used to phone him up at work when it was playing on the radio and I wouldn't "answer", but just stick the receiver to the radio.

It was a little joke we had going. It would be like, "Oh God no!!!" from Richard. "Not again!!!!"  ;D We had fun.

Thanks for this. Loved the listen. I'll have to resurrect our little game and send Richard a whole pile of youtube links again!!!  ;D

P.S. His future wife to be is as mischievous as I am; so I'm sure we will have a lot of fun!!!

Thanks again.

All I know is that since hearing this "song" about a week ago, it has indeed been stuck in my head.  

I do not know why.  I did not ask for it.  But there it is.  All the time.  Figured I would spread the pain around a bit.

You've just posted the chaotic sounds that must indeed exist inside my tiny mind.

And "foot-foot" I believe is correlated to Flin Flon who has been disposed of and burned inside of the game, "Thief" due to our necessary constraints of time and reason.

But alas, I am above time and reason and call, "Come hither, Flin Flon!" and "Come hither, Foot-Foot!"

So thus:

Flin Flon and Foot-Foot both rise like a phoenix, remaking itself endlessly from the ashes.

What sounds to us as "garbage" in our vessels is actually very beautiful. It's only that we don't have the level of perception yet.

I love this thread!!!!!!! ;D

I was wondering if anyone else on here found them as addictive as I do. I find myself humming/singing their songs a lot more than a 29 year-old male probably should. But in my defense, their songs are extremely infectious. "Misery Business", "That's What You Get", "Crushcruscrush" ... I could go on.

Hayley Williams is amazing. She's smaller than my cat but she's a frickin' dynamo.

Few for you I'm always playing








Lyrics from: Faith No More Evidence

If you want to open your hole
Just put your head down and go
Step beside the piece of the circumstance
Got to wash away the taste of evidence
Wash it away
[evidence x3]
[got a taste of evidence]

I didn't feel a thing
It didn't mean a thing
Look in the eye and testify
I didn't feel a thing

Anything you say, we know you're guilty
Hands above your head,
and you won't even feel me
You won't feel me

[i didn't feel a thing]

I didn't feel a thing
It didn't mean a thing
Look in the eye and testify
I didn't feel a thing

*guitar solo*

[evidence X3]
[got a taste of evidence]

I didn't feel a thing
You didn't mean a thing
Look in the eye and testify
I didn't feel a thing x2

Rendevous,

I think I could watch this several times and get more from it each time. The element of "waiting" is accentuated by the fact that  the guitarist, stops, mid-play to check the time on his watch.

When our lead swirls the drink with his finger and then "flicks" the mic, it's like casting it all off. The title: Faith No More Evidence is important because you can't have faith WITH evidence. Once you have evidence, you have knowledge; so you fuck up in the faith department. And it means bugger all anyways. If you've got faith though, people might look at you and say you're fucked because they say you're a dreamer and who-the-hell-do-you-think-you-are-anyways? Messing around with the way things are.

x2 and x3 I'm always interested in gematria and the science of numbers. And also the innumerable.

Thanks again.

I rarely share music as my taste tends to be extremely esoteric but...

Electric Wizard, the so-called "heaviest band in the world" ("heavy" in the classic sense, not Slipknot "heavy"). This band's pretty much ruined Black Sabbath for me. The grooves on this particular song make Iommi look pathetic, especially toward the end. The sound is sort of vintage so I think it could appeal to classic rock or grunge fans as opposed to just metalheads.

Hello James,

I'm always interested in what gets certain sparks flying in people's brains.

When I listen to this kind of music, I hear a lot of "chaos". It doesn't sound pretty to me, but I'm wondering what people who enjoy listening to it "hear".

Obviously they are hearing something different than me and so obviously they have been "wired" differently.

This is what I'm interested in. The very fact that we've all been "wired" differently. Some of us love hot sauce and onions and some of us hate it. Some of us love dry Merlot wines and others just want a gentle cooler and to go to bed with some chocolate cake.

So yes, my question is, is that if you can possibly put it into words, "What is it that you hear in this music that attracts you? What is it that you feel? Can you put it in words?" I'm really very fascinated in people's differences and would love to hear what you have to say regarding this.

Sandra

I appreciate your interest, Sandra. Seriously. I'm so used to hearing people dismiss my taste as shit.

I have very strong reactions to music. Maybe even more so than films. Generally, I like my music in extremes. If I want something heavy, I'll listen to metal. If I want something gentle, I'll listen to Pink Floyd or Oasis. Most popular bands try to capture the best of both worlds and that's never been enough for me which is why I can't stand bands like The Killers. Middle ground all the way. I like dense music in just about all senses of the word. Electric Wizard is about as dense as it gets. I've also always had an affinity for metal in general. The stereotype is that it's all fast and loud which is true for a lot of bands but I think there's an atmosphere to metal that no other music can capture. Consequently, most of this band's songs are played at a dead pace.

It's like the old saying goes. If this is wrong, I don't wanna be right. Besides, I listen to all types of music. More than anyone I know. I like catchy stuff but I also like challenging music.

Hope that does something for you. If not, I can tell you I had an inner ear infection when I was a kid. Maybe that's affected my taste, haha (no joke though, I really did have an infection).

James, thank you so much for that!!! My joy is connecting with people who are entirely different than me. I just feel like when I am blessed enough to be able to do that, that I'm really "waking up", more so every moment.

You know. when I was young I had a particular experience-- actually more than one experience where I had a particular sensation that was so very-very-very pleasant and (please I know I could easily jump to sexual feelings but it wasn't like that), it was something completely different.

That sensation I can't express in any words. I don't know what it is, but it's so very perfect. At the same time, I've been through a "health crisis" in my life where it's been so bad that I wanted to die and also, I've felt that I didn't want anyone to have to go through that same experience no matter what they might have done in the "bad scheme of things". I just don't wish it on anyone. No matter who they are or what they've done.

What it boils down to for me personally is that I feel that negative forces are a blessing in disguise. They come to challenge us and make us "real". Otherwise, we'd be nothing but binary.

In the future, I will try my best to connect with individuals on the other side of my "wiring" and partake in an experience that we will devise as "real".

I just learned of this "hit" yesterday, and figured all my SS friends who have missed this sensation should be tortured as well.  

It's about a young girl who loves cereal, is apparently quite stressed over the decision as to whether she should sit in the back seat or the front seat of a car, and loves informing her fans that the days of the week occur in a specific order.

Who the heck is she?  Who knows.

This catchy little number may well be one of the signs of the apocalypse.

This is Sam Brown, 'With A Little Love', one of my faves from 1990. Her dad was Joe Brown, a singer in the sixties who knew the Beatles. She has a great voice and has released quite a few albums. Its unreal hearing this on the headphones of the Ipod - very different from watching it on tv 21 years ago...

Ok, this is Robbie Williams, 'Do You Mind', from 2009. Heard it on the radio the other day and couldn't work out who the hell it was! Finally tracked it down on Youtube. The kids love it and its a good party song.

Rob, that's pretty frickin' cool, actually.  Yes, I do enjoy me some ABBA every now and then, believe it or not.

But, Mr. Tramp is not my new found love. I've been a fan ever sine the very beginning, which was the official release of "Fight to Survive" in 1985.  I remember this quite vividly, because I had to spend a weekend in the frickin' slammer, and of the 50+ items I brought with me, 1 of the 5 I was actually allowed to take in was a copy of Circus Magazine, and the cover story had to do with the long and arduous road White Lion had to travel to get their debut released.  I've been a big fan ever since, including Tramp's solo career, as well as his current Mike Tramp and the Rock 'n' Roll Circuz band.

Don't hat the genre, listen to the music.

You know, something just hit me, Jeff. I know that you - in general - don't like formular writing, and by that I mean the rigid 3-act structure where all the plot points has to happen on a certain page, but you fucking adore formular music, don't you, ya big softie :)

Take hair rock for example, whether it be White Lion, Bon Jovi, Warrant, Def Leppard or any of the other gazillions of band with long hair and spandex, once you heard the opening key, you'd know exactly what the song was gonna sound like (including all the moans and groans), what the lyrics would be and how the solo was gonna play out.

Me, I'm actually opposite, I love formular writing but I can't stand formular music.

Go figure.
Posted by: Dreamscale (Guest), August 27th, 2011, 10:52am; Reply: 134
Rob, I'm going to have to disagree with you.

What I like in both music and writing is what works, what has talent and polish, and big hooks.

Although I do love music from the big 80's, you shouldn't pigeonhole me there, cause I rarely listen to it now.  Most of the music I listen to nowadays is European melodic metal, or progressive metal.  Much of it is very non standard in terms of structure, beat, tune, etc.  It is not the kind of music you can easily even make out the tune on first listen.

But that's also the beauty of it...you can listen to it over and over and never get bored, while still hearing new things.

One of my favorites is Dutch born Arjen Anthony Lucassen, best known for his awesome band, Ayreon.  Extremely complex structures and different tunes within each song.  His more recent project, Guilt Machine, is also amazing.

In terms of being against structure in writing, it's really more that I'm against those that think writing must conform to classic structure, or any structure, actually.  Point being, that a script that works, that shows talent, and has big hooks doesn't have to conform to any structure.

I don't usually knock other people's choice in music - though I loathe coldplay and all rap rubbish - but bro, this is just an updated version of the 80's cringe bands like Berlin, etc.

I know I can be harsh but when the greatest group in history is my yardstick, well, sheesh...

One of my favorite Stones songs - I've only recently 'rediscovered' it. It sometimes gets overlooked by the other songs on this top album. Keef's playing is brilliant.

I love trawling through Youtube, checking out home versions of great songs from all the top bands.
This is one of my favorite Beatle tracks, and shows the precision drumming that Ringo brought to the table.

Underrated, even mocked for many years, Ringo is now recognised by drummers around the world, both amateurs and pros, as the Grandfather of modern rock drumming.  His timing was impeccable.

Obviously you don't know any drummers. Or read stuff on the Internet. You'd be surprised at the high regard he's held in AS A DRUMMER!  Major music magazines consider him influential, bro, not just this little black Aussie duck.

Oh, contrare, mon frere.  I do know drummers...very well actually.

Sure, any time a musician has the success that Ringo has had, just by default, "experts" will throw his name out as an influential and talented drummer, but in reality, he pales in comparison to so many "modern" drummers.  Put him behind a big drum set and he wouldn't even know where to begin.

Don't get me wrong, I definitely like the guy, but his drum rhythms are as simple as they come. Compare his work to Neil Peart, Mike Portnoy, Nicko McBain, Carmine or Vinny Appice, Tommy Lee, Scott Rockenfield, Uli Kusch...damn...I could go on and on...

C'mon, man...listen to his stuff and then anything by any one of these guys...no comparison.

I think you would find all those guys would cite Ringo as an influence.

Would Ringo have stayed in the Beatles, if a strong willed bastard like John didn't think ge was up to scratch? Would he and Macca have let their songs be ruined by an inept drummer?

Of course not! Ringo's technique and style is a big part of the success of the Beatle catalogue. And his timing is legendary amongst drum connoisseurs.

Remember that back in the sixties, a lot of the drum tracks were virtually 'live' in the studio. They didn't have the luxury of nowadays, where drummers can just edit their best strikes.

I'm gonna lay my ass on the line here and say I'm gonna have to agree with Jeff on this one.

Drumming's hard and the prospect of me being able to do it is near inconceivable so props to him being able to do it. And while not one of my favorite bands in the world, The Beatles are among the greatest and most influential bands in history.

But I've never heard Ringo do much else than keep pace. Granted that doing so is probably difficult in its own right but I don't listen to The Beatles and hear any technical prowess, uniqueness or even playfulness. Very formal and straightforward, frankly. Seems like he'd only appeal to drummers as they can actually tell what he's doing.

I don't see much merit in music magazines either. Rolling Stone is amongst the biggest and they'd probably put Nirvana as #1 on their 100 Greatest Hip-Hop Artists of All Time list, if they had one.

That said, I'm open to hearing you prove me wrong, Stevie.

BTW, Jeff, you're going to have to recommend me some Rush songs that actually have some genuine technical/progressive flair. I've been trying to get into them for a while but every song I hear just sounds like straightforward classic rock and has none of the technical edge that people build them up to have. Same goes for King Crimson. I've come to conclusion that I haven't heard the right songs from either of them.

Yeah, all good points James!

When I mentioned the magazines I meant quotes I've read on the net, from well known drummers talking about Ringo.

Believe me, this was all new to me till about 5 years ago. In the last decade there has been a greater appreciation of Ringo. YouTube is filled with covers of his drumming, and some very talented drummers are still trying to replicate certain fills he used.

A large part of his success was the fact he was a left handed drummer playing a right hand kit. So he did things differently and thus created a unique style.

I'm not merely arguing his case because of my obvious Beatle bias; over the years I have studied all the comments made about him, and find it all fascinating.

Just Google 'Ringo's drumming influence' or something and you should find some very famous drummers espousing his skill.

In 8 years of recording in the studio, the number of times a take broke down on a Beatles song, caused by a mistake by Ringo, was less than 12.

James, I'll throw you some amazing RUSH songs...there are so many...not much in "recent" years, but if you go back into the late 70's/early 80's/even early 90's, you'll hear the "Professor" jam like no other ever has.

And for you, Stevie, my Aussie fiend, here's a nice vid of Nicko tattooing his monster rack, and the entire vid is on him.  Classic track - The Trooper, recorded from their also classic Live in Rio tour (I think).

In all seriousness, check this dude out, and think about what Ringo would/could do if he had to play like this...or eve close to it.

Enjoy, my METAL BROTHERS!!!

Rather tuneless song bro. I see no reason why Ringo couldn't play that if he wanted to.

Incidentally, 'Ticket To Ride' (1965) was claimed by John to be the first heavy metal song. Ringo's drumming on it gave it a unique sound.

That Ghost version of HCTS sounds cool! Not that heavy metal either as the singer has an ok voice!

Um, with Ticket, I think John meant cos there were very few chord changes in it in the verses; it was like this relentless beat that hadn't been done before. The sort of 'droning' that HM became in the seventies I guess.

Glad you liked it!

The cover isn't a heavy metal version of the Beatles song but Ghost is a heavy metal band. They just have more throwback influences and don't scream or use harsh vocals of any kind. They've even been compared to Blue Oyster Cult. The lyrics are 100% metal through. They almost seem out of place once you realize what they're saying. I think that's part of the fun of the band.

Members of Ghost (including the singer) are also in a death metal band called Repugnant.

As for Lennon's comment, I suppose at the time it would've made more sense. Either way, it's not particularly bothersome and indeed, I think the song came from an interesting transitional period for The Beatles. So fair enough. Honestly, I get much more irritated when people make a case for Alice Cooper or Led Zeppelin being metal. I'll concede that Led Zeppelin were a pioneer of heavier music in general but only people who don't listen to metal actually cite them as influential to the genre.

Tuneless?  The Trooper?  The Trooper, tuneless?  WTF?  Funny thing is that the majority of Maiden's earlier work, when listened to for the first time, is tough to pick up the tune.  But, trust me, bro, it's extremely "tuny", and one of those anthems that you can't help but sing along, or at least hum along..once you know it, that is.

I'm also surprised you can't even throw Nicko some props for the drumming here.  His speed, and intricate rhythm is amazing. He's a true master on the hats.  And maybe best of all is his stamina.  There are numerous Maiden songs that run north of 7 minutes, but even 5 straight minutes of relentless drum work is more than taxing on the human body.  In concert, this guy just keeps going and going, kinda like the Energizer Bunny - and let's not forget that Nicko is 59 years young, and at the tender age of 13, was already playing Beatles cover tunes - with ease, I might add.

Just to throw my two cents in on the great Starr debate.  I only really started listening to the Beatles over the last couple of years because they were the band my parents listened to when I was growing up, so they were too "old."  But, listening to their catalog of music now, the overall influence on rock was immeasurable, and Ringo's drumming was definitely part of that.  I think the fact that he never played with any speed and also the fact that he was always regarded as the "clown" of the group kind of made people look down on his drumming.  It didn't help when Lennon joked once that "Ringo wasn't even the best drummer in the Beatles."  But Stevie's right about Ringo's influence on modern drummers.  Nicko McBrain, Dave Grohl, and Mike Portnoy have all said Starr's style influenced them.  Ringo's timing and fills were deceptively complex, if you believe many of these modern drummers who cite Ringo as an influence.  Listen to the fills on "A Day in the Life" and the "Golden Slumbers-Carry the Weight" medley that ends the White Album.  I've read that many drummers regard those examples as extraordinarily difficult to replicate the timing on.

As for "The Trooper", guess you're not a metal head, Stevie.  That's one of the greatest metal songs ever.  But "Ticket to Ride" the first metal song?  I don't think so.  You could definitely make an argument for "Helter Skelter", though.  

James, for Rush songs that display Peart's abilities, listen to "La Villa Strangiato" and "YYZ."

Finally, I knew that that cover of the Ghost album looked kinda familiar:

Photobucket

Yes, McBrain was playing Beatles covers as a kid...a 13-14 year old kid.

Is/was Ringo an influence to many modern, great drummers?  Sure, but that doesn't mean much in terms of his overall talent, compared to ultra talented, speedy drummers.

But then again, any "Pro" who has played his entire life, be it drums, bass, or guitar, is obviously very talented.  People look down on various Pros and say they suck, when the reality is far from that.

Ryan, I'm impressed with your metal knowledge...didn't realize you were a fan.

Up the irons, mate!!!
Posted by: Ryan1, December 6th, 2011, 6:29pm; Reply: 165
Oh, yeah, I love me some metal, Jeff.

But getting back to Starr, I guess the question comes up of what constitutes "greatness."  Is it raw technical prowess, or groundbreaking influence on future generations or a combination of both?  Here are McBrain's own thoughts on Starr, where he readily admits Ringo's talent was superb.  

http://www.rockradioscotland.co.uk/rock-news/nickos-tribute-to-ringo/y5u6yt5r/

I'm sure McBrain and a bunch of other 13 year kids could ape Ringo's style, but could they actually compose those beats and perfect that timing?  I don't think so.
Posted by: stevie, December 6th, 2011, 6:36pm; Reply: 166
Yeah good points Ryan!

Jeff, those Beatle covers that Nicko played were proably thier early stuff, which isn't complex drumming at all.

It wasn't until 'Revolver' in 1966 that Ringo's drums became more part of the sound. And it helped that the engineers at Abbey Road starting experimenting with new techniques for recording.

No one had ever miked a drum close to the kit before Geoff Emerick did it to Ringo.

Ringo's timing has been mentioned as unbelievable. The short drum solo on Abbey Road was looped for hours and set against a metronome - it never strayed at all.

I read last night an interesting comment from a drummer - if you isolate ringo's drums on nearly every Beatle song, you can still tell what the song is. A very telling fact.

Ok, a lot of the classic rock songs you could pick by that too - well, I could, as I have a huge mind database of songs, trivia,etc - but that's still a fair effort.

John Lennon once said his 3 three favorite drummers were Ringo, Moonie and Bonzo.

Right on guys.  Interesting pull on that article, Ryan.

You know...seriously...I don't like repeating myself over and over and being an ass.  I'm not a drummer, but my best bro, that I actually grew up with, was.  We'd jam alot.  He actually taught me quite a bit on the drum kit.

Here's what I'm going to say and I'll leave it at this.

Drumming on its own and by itself isn't "easy" for everyone by any means.  The more drums, cymbals, etc. you add, the harder it gets.  The faster and more intricate the song/beat,. again, the harder it gets.

I don't know for sure, but I highly doubt Ringo ever even played a double bass kick.  I also highly doubt he ever had a drum kit that totaled over 7 heads and 5 cymbals.

My point is simple...you can look back on anything "successful" and in no way can you deny the talent involved...at least in some way, be it football, baseball, boxing, or music.  But when it comes time to really look at what each individual was doing and how it stacks up against others, IMO, it's pretty clear where the real talent is.

For instance, I was flipping channels around last night while watching the game and settled on the Country Music Awards.  Alabama was playing, after winning their 1 Millionth award.  They're country royalty.  Their all mega millionaires.  They're all 40+ year Pros who can play music in their sleep.  But...are any of them amazing musicians?  Does the lead singer have a great voice?  Does it matter?  No...it doesn't.

But when you go back and page on rewrite a script, I always want "new" songs.

And Passion Pit's new album came along at the right time.
This song, musically and lyrically, is really helping me through the new pages.

"It's Not My Fault, I'm Happy" fits that script's sensibilities perfectly for me...

Wow!  Love to see I'm not alone, as I usually am.

I'm not familiar with the band you mentioned, John, but I'm not a death metal guy.  I mostly listen to Eastern European melodic metal.  Also like power metal, symphonic metal, operatic metal, and progressive metal.  Combine them all, and I'm a happy guy.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

They're actually not a death metal band.  It's kind of poking fun at the genre actually.  They're a rockability band.  That song is actually in a budweiser commercial I think.

The Haunted is another good band.  Everyone except the singer is from Poland I think.  A lot of melody with some sweet sounding guitars.  The Guilt Trip is an album I constantly listen through.

The way it should have sounded from the get go:

I like some of the guitar work here, Rob.  Even kind of like the tuned down melody.

But, I do not like the grunting crap.

Here's another ABBA song done the way it should have been done originally...but we know that would be impossible.

Here's the man himself, Tobias Sammet with Avantasia redoing "Lay All Your Love on Me".

Yeah, it kinda makes you tap your foot, doesn't it?

I'm with you on the growl shit. Useless.

Or, here we have the Metal Gods Helloween doing "Lay All Your Love on Me", as well.

Quoted from Heretic
I know how much y'all love rap, and how much everyone loves female rappers, so I made this playlist of current female rappers for y'all:

I've got two Words for that shit: P. E.



Slayer have never sounded better.
