Wall of Mouths

C’mon now… Might as well ask who’s better Rob Halford or “Ripper” Owens. Please ;)

It’s Bruce no doubt!

Has anyone seen them live lately? How’s his pipes holding up?

Just about every post-makeup song by Kiss. Not that there were exactly Lennon/McCartney with the make-up. But in the 80s and early 90s they took it to rediculous extemes.
Let’s Put the X is Sex.. c’mon please! :rolleyes:

I thought of a few more

Suggestion- Fugazi
Day Tripper- Beatles
Can’t Get No Satisfaction- The Stones (how can anyone forget that one, probably the single most recognizable riff ever!)

Cult of the Subterranian-Strung Out
American Jesus-Bad Religion
Rearviewmirror- Pearl Jam
Rockin in the Free World-Neil Young
Broken Cage-Soundgarden

Subliminable Messages- Ten Foot Pole

Live and Let die? That’s Wings not GNR, GNRs version didn’t really change much but added distortion. Give proper credit!

judas priest - unleashed in the east

I would have put this one on my list, the version of Genocide destroyes the original. But I heard somewhere it’s another one like Kiss Alive where they cleaned it up in a studio. After that I listened to it again and I think I believe it.. a little to neat for a true live recording.

A few I forgot from my original post
Slayer - Decade of Aggression
Descendents- Livage
Live at the BBC- Led Zepplin

Cool Live DVDs
Minor Threat-Live at DC Space and the 9:30 club
Bad Religion- Along the Way
Pearl Jam- At the Showbox (for Eddie freaking out during the “War” tag to Daughter) & Live at the Garden (for the Buzzcocks jam of Sonic Reducer)
Scopophobia (of course)

and even though they aren’t full blown concerts

Cliff ‘em All- Metallica (The Dave Mustaine footage is classic)

Instrument- Fugazi (great scene in a college fieldhouse where Guy hangs upside down from a basketball hoop and sings, also the scene in Lorton Prison-which is only a few miles from me- was interesting)

I’m gonna go for AC/DC If You Want Blood.

I wish there was a live AC/DC DVD with Bon Scott.

I know there’s “Let There Be Rock” which was a show in France in 1980, on VHS. Haven’t seen it out on DVD yet though.

Title: Best Live albums

Since lists seem to be all the rage.

How about the best live albums?

Mine are
(Non-Bootlegs)
Live Cream-Cream
Live After Death- Iron Maiden
Live at the Key Club- Hendrix with an extremely drunk Jim Morrison doing a cameo tell you how to do your woman..classic

Priest Live- Judas Priest
Live Washington DC 2000- Pearl Jam
Live in a Dive- Strung Out
Live at the Key Club- Pennywise

(Bootlegs)
Five Ever Show- Fugazi
Live Atlanta 1994-Pearl Jam (best live recording ever!!)

Also gotta throw out there 3 great Pixies covers

Velouria- Weezer
Alec Eiffel- The Get Up Kids
Gouge Away- Poppa Roach (best song they’ve done yet)

Gotta go with the one’s where the cover kills the original.

All Along the Watchtower- Hendrix (All Time greatest cover!!! of course it seems just about everyone else’s version of a Bob Dylan song is better than the original)

Green Manalishi with the 2 Prong Crown- Judas Priest (believe it or not it was a Fleetwood Mac song).

Sonic Reducer- Pearl Jam
Minor Threat- Pennywise
Bark at the Moon- Strung Out
You Really Got Me- Van Halen

Every song on Grage Days Re-Visited!! especially Helpless, The Wait, and Last Caress/Green Hell) - Metallica

I think I’ll have to go with Hooch’s approach.

Top 5 at the moment (not including Bootlegs or personal mixes)

Suffer- Bad Religion
The Argument- Fugazi
Vs- Pearl Jam
About Time- Pennywise
Semi-Detatched- T? (I always seem to rotate which one of their CDs I listen to..based on mood I guess. Really I’ve been listening to my own mix CD with a few B-sides and live tracks thrown in. But Tightrope Walker, Lonely-Crying Only and Suing God and Straight Life seem to be in heaviest rotation so I’ll put Semi-Detached right now)

A little off topic but it seems once you get an MP3 jukebox you never seem to find yourself listening to any whole album anymore. And even though I have my whole collection loaded in there, I never seem to have more than 4 or 5 bands in rotation…anyone else have that issue?

A few months ago I downloaded the “Kick the Chair” MP3..ugh! I just pretend it doesn’t exist. Poor Dave..he so much wants to be like Metallica. Just like them after Megadeth’s biggest album (countdown to extinction) it went quickly downhill, just like Metallica with the Black album. Sure later albums for both groups had some quality songs, but overall each later album got weaker and weaker even though both tried to play harder without going back to their original sounds…

I have to admit though the re-mastered Killing is My Business was great..it’s such a killer CD but the original production was really rough. All of the original vocals kind of slurred together..granted they were on smack at the time.

If anyone gets a chance, try and pick up the bootlegs of the early Metallica tapes with Dave on guitar..really cool hearing James sing Mechanix!

finally checked out Husker Du’s Diane… I loke the original bass line, but I like the way Any sings it better..musch more disturbing

What a pile o’ shite. Damn I hate Celine Dion!

(I know that song is by Shania Twain and she deserves to die as well, but I just wanted to point out that I hate Celine Dion)

just wanted to point out they’re Canda’s fault! But Shania’s at least tolerable with Mute on.. the men out there know hat I’m talking about!

Matt’s the old bass player right?

Last I heard he was suing the band over royalties for some of the songs off the first two albums. Never a good sign.

Not sure if he’s still doing the Rentals thing still either

Title: Proof that not all American Music is Crap

FOr the beater of US music over in the “American Curiosity” thread. Here’s a little proof that we still have some talented artists here.

Unfortunately the corporate machine has deluted our punk as bad as they did metal in the 80’s, but there’s still a few who still play loud, fast, and angry. Something all T? fans can appreciate I’m sure.

I just downloaded their new song…makes me bitter I have to wait until November.

http://www.strung-out.com/news.php

I thought Pinkerton was their best! It came out and you heard nothing about it (the Infernal Love comparison is spot on!) A lot of great stuff on that CD.

“Tired of having sex” is one of their best.

Sad…second Ramone gone from cancer.

The man showed that you didn’t have to be Hendrix to play great guitar driven songs..and probably leaves behind an even larger crowd of artists directly influenced by him.

I know around 10 years ago there was a point where I was about done playing guitar (metal had gone stale and grunge was just taking off, my equipment sucked and was falling apart), and a buddy of mine lent me “All the Best and More vol.1”. I always liked the Ramones but that was the first time I really sat down and listened to them from a musicians point of view. A few hours later I had figured out most of the songs I liked (just a matter of figuring out which 3 chords were in use) and kept playing them over and over. They made it simple and funfor me again, and I’m still playing.

He’ll be missed..

Any song which has been punk/ska’d up but was not originally a punk/ska song. The Hippos version of So Lonely by the Police was a disgrace..

…But I have to admit Less Than Jake’s versions of Slayer’s ‘Evil Has No Boundries’ and ‘Anti-Christ’ were actually pretty interesting.

And every American high school garage band circa 1990-1993 which covered For Whom the Bells Toll and couldn’t even attempt the short lead riffs…ruined more than one party for me. Every weekend there’d be a different band at a different place destroying what is actually a pretty simple song…AAGGHH!

Not listening to any particular album. Doing mst of my listening at work, with my MP3 player, so I just plop on entire artisit and let is shuffle. SO here’s the bands I’m listening to at the moment

Therapy?
Strung Out (especially Live in a Dive)
Bad Religion
Ten Foot Pole/Pulley mix
Decendents
Fugazi (ordered all of their Bootlegs from the Bass Player, some brilliant stuff there even if the recordings are a little raw).

Do What You Want- Bad Religion

and

Bring Out Your Dead by Strung Out..the live version off of “Live In A Dive”..kicks twice as hard as the original

Nirvana sounds better and are more commercial. But the Pixies set the groundwork. They had an effect similiar to Bob Dylan. It sometimes takes a cover of one of their songs for you to realize how great their songwriting is. (Weezers Velouria, Get Up Kids Alec Eiffel, or Popa Roach’s version of Gouge Away). Also their sound is much more diverse and experimental.

As for the Pearl Jam comment that anything after thier 1st album sucks…take a listen to Lukin off of No Code ; Do the Evolution off Yield; or Save You off of Riot Act. They can still jam (no pun intended) as well as anyone. But their sound has mellowed a bit. I think a lot of that has to do with Eddie’s voice being a shell of what it once was.

Pick up the bootleg of their concert in Atlanta in 1994. It was for a radio broadcast, and very common on E-Bay. One listen and you will immediately change you mind. It is one of the greatest shows you will ever hear from anyone. Listen especially to Blood. You’d be amazed that Eddie could speak for a week after that. Powerful! Plus they do the best version of Sonic Reducer you’ll ever hear

Picked up a great SMiths Comp DVD off E-Bay.

Had a really cool performance where they do a kickin’ version of Handsome Devil.

What was great was during miserable lie, the crowd was throwing Moz’s flowers back at him and pummeled him in the eye. He went off-stage for a few and the band played on. He then came back and picked up in perfect time.

Also the crowd bum rushing the stage at the end and mugging Moz for the mic was a bit surreal.

But not a surreal as the Spanish documentary..some odd clips mixed in with the performace bits.

Also a version of Cannableism Begins at Home from TOTP. Never realized what a great bass line that song had..Andy Rourke was very under-rated.
