A little off the topic of my dear beloved Progressive Metal, but have you ever heard That One Guy? He is freaking amazing, and I think you'd appreciate his stuff. He toured with Buckethead recently. Just this lone dude, playing a huge instrument he invented himself. It's sick.

No, haven't heard of him... great name, though!

Buckethead is an amazing guitarist. I was watching this one video of his the other day... kind of renaissance-style artsy stuff? Can't remember the name of the song. Disturbing, and fun!

He is indeed. He ranges from completely off the wall to impeccably classy. Colma is a great album if you aren't into rubber chickens. But you gotta love a guy that showcases his nunchaku skills on stage between songs, hehe.

Umm yeah.. I think I'm getting old...

yep I was thinking the same thing when I looked at the bigger concerts I went to have tickets to this year:

Tenacious D, Roger Waters, Rush, The Police, Chris Cornell

am getting old...some of the people posting here wouldn't know an 8 track if it was left on their desks....

Well, Tenacious D and Chris Cornell are young(er...)

Don't feel too bad. I haven't been to a hardcore show since CB's closed down last year. I feel old.

I suppose I should be thanking whoever posted up Further Seems Forever. It reminded me of one of my favourite bands, and I am now pleasantly enjoying them.

Strongarm - Trials

-VNV Nation - Honour, gabriel, kingdoms
-Theatre of Tradgey (I can't spell. so whatever). Anything off of storm, but i like them all
-Tool - 10k dayz
-NIN (anything cept without teeth)
-Enya - Anywhere is, in memory of trees
-Aqua (yea, and???)
-Pastor Troy (When he comes, and Be glad you moved)
-In Flames (great for fights)
-Killswitch Engage (great for fights)
-Linkin Park (metora: great for long walks across the shire... watching your feet march to the beat of Place for my head)
-Type 0' Negative - yea..

The Police? Really? I saw XTC open for them in Austin in 1981, my jaw was still wired shut after the Gang of Four concert the previous Halloween...this was a seriously pro-XTC crowd and no one wanted them to leave the stage, but of course, Colin had to get off-stage so he could throw up...*sigh* The Police were good of course, they just weren't XTC.

So I suppose it's too much to ask that XTC will be opening for the Police right? :P

Haha... Strongarm was definately a good time. It would seem with the name change/new direction they cursed themselves. 3 consecutive new lead singers on their 3 albums. They should have tried to do strongarm again after Jason left. That last album just didn't have the vocal chops.

Yeah, everyone talked about that... The problem is, Chris actually sounded really good live! I swear, he must have had pneumonia or laryngitis or something when they recorded that album.

(It still kicks FSF's lilly rear all over the place! >-D)

I wanted to go to that show in Austin! Mainly to see XTC, as well. Some friends of mine had a band in Austin at the time called The Take. They did a great cover of "Making Plans for Nigel" and we were all big XTC fans at the time.

American Head Charge
Machine Head
All That Remains
Dry Kill Logic
36 Crazyfists
Sevendust
Tool
Fear Factory
Breaking Benjamin
Blindeside
Block Party
The Sleeping

The list goes on but these frequent my playlists

Cool!

I put in a lot of time at Raul's, playing Missile Command and pulling lead singers into the pit. It all got real friendly-like when that bouncer walked in though, I had never seen forearms with so many knife scars...

However, I arrived in Austin juuust a bit too late to save myself a lifetime of regret. A month before I arrived, Patti Smith went to Raul's after her show and led the whole place in singing "You Light Up My Life". To this day, I would give anything to have been there.

I'm just looking forward to returning! Although not being able to see Poi Dog Pondering at the Texas Tavern anymore is going to stink. Why'd they have to move to Chicago anyway? Thhbbbptt.

Probably the same reason most culture in Austin's had to move.

Rent!

I first heard Susan Voelz when she was with Grains of Faith (at the Texas Union). Later she recorded a track on a song I had written and recorded. Her part was so good that as we were doing the mixdown it just kept climbing and climbing in the mix till it was louder than everything else, we finally had to get an impartial engineer to place it where it should be. :P

I remember riding in my Daddy's brand new car with his top of the line in car music system with an 8-track. I was in charge of changing the 8-track tapes when it was time. There would be like 10 or so shoved in the glove compartment... Sam Cooke.. Steve Wonder.. The Temptations.. Sonny & Cher. My Dad was old school back didn't like disco.

Yay for being old.. Anyone still have LP's and 45s???

Really? They all liked the musical that much?

:P

The Austin that I moved to in 1980 was so very much not the city I left in 2001. When I left, no matter where you drove, you were impeding the progress of some Young Master Of His Own Destiny on his way to burn through huge wads of venture capitol while making Thneedware.

But more than that...I went to the first Raul's reunion at Liberty Lunch. We were all 30-somethings, with our kids in tow. At one point somebody stepped up to the microphone and looking out shouted "f*** you!" ...there was a silence while our brains all dug through years of adult life to the archives of our youth. The correct response hit us all about the same time and looking up from cleaning spit off our various responsibilities we all shouted back "f*** you!" yeah...you can't ever go home.

but at least I moved someplace where it doesn't stay over 105 for weeks on end.

Geeze, Nel... Gwar's been around for ages.

You are old!

Chizica - Any country that considers Nightwish is a pop sensation and had their language appropriated for Tolkien's writings makes it darn close to the top of my list any day.

Basically, as long as the metal's from the top part of the Baltic Sea, it's probably gonna' be better than any metal anywhere else. That's just how they roll up there.

Caelven - Austin breaks my heart every time I go to visit. Effing yuppies.

On another note, I'll be using the term "Thneedware" to describe most what people buy nowadays. Thanks!

Donovan's Hurdy Gurdy Man, it's haunting yet addictive sounds so today's

OOh, that is cool!

For years I have been trying, without luck, to find a 78 player so I can record my copy of "the Dnieper Water Power Station" It says it's by Prokofiev, but I am pretty sure it's really by Alexander Mosolov

I had a Dual 1218 turntable that played 33/45 and 78. I managed to record my dad's "Grand Canyon Suite" on the multi-coloured 78s onto cassette for him. I still kick myself for trading in the 1218 for a 1225 in the late '70s.
eBay's got one.
