@nessisonett i only have the remasters on cd..i bought pretty much their entire backlog when i worked in music zone (R.I.P.) and its taken me sooooo long to get round to them..people say hendrix is the greatest guitarist ever but i'll take eddie hazel anyday..maggot brain is one of the best guitar solos of all time..
@LordSteev i agree..never heard of them before untill i was watching an episode of lethal weapon which had me pulling my teeth out trying to find a led zeppelin song that didnt exist lol...he really is that uncanny..
@Jimmer-jammer I love the video for 'Don't Come Around Here No More'. Is that on that album?

Isn't he? I know some critics complain that he sounds TOO much like Plant, but that's only a good thing in my book. If anything, I think he has even more raw power than Robert. For me, he's the best new singer I've heard in at least ten years.
@ShaiHulud What have you been listening to recently? Pure bone-crushing metal I take it? Did you try One Size Fits All by Zappa? Thoughts?

@Jimmer-jammer I see, I'll have a listen sometime then. I wanted to share this guy (Bill Orcutt, guitarist) with you as well, to see what you think. He does a kind of deconstructed avant-blues thing ,in the words of @nessisonett ,but will be borderline unlistenable to some due to it's avant-garde and experimental nature.

Anyone here in to Weyes Blood? I (like most people) have very eclectic tastes but I'm obssessed with her and wish more people would listen to her. Classic voice, classic songwriting.
@Mergatro1d Yeah, I wasn’t big on Titanic Rising the first time I heard it but it’s totally grown on me. Brilliant album and it totally gets the plaudits it deserves in certain circles.
@Jimmer-jammer Hahaha! Great vision, well I'm glad you experienced it as well. Ok, someone more conventional for you now. Where do you stand on Joe Bonamassa? And @nessisonett ,what do you think of him?

@nessisonett I had a feeling you'd like her, I've seen some of your other posts and thought we have quite similar tastes. Titanic Rising has quickly become one of my favourite albums.
Do you know Hannah Peel? Her album, Mary Casio: Journey to Cassiopeia is (literally) out of this world. I had the pleasure of seeing her perform it live with a 20 piece colliery brass band and some particularly strong psychadelics a couple of years ago; I'm still getting over it now!
@Kidfried Yeah, Front Row Seat To Earth got me into her as well. Amazing album. I'd love to see her live; Father John Misty I have a love/hate thing with- depends on my mood, I guess.
In fact, I'd love to see anyone live right now! Last gig was Aldous Harding and who knows what the next one will be
The new Tool album is good, it's what you'd expect from them, long, hypnotic songs, great vocals, etc. You'd like it if you're a certified tool fan, for sure! It's in my cars disc player currently, excellent road trip music. If you like Tools singer, and want something much more mellow/psychedelic, Eat the Elephant is Perfect Circle's latest, and it's one I like at home, almost meditative. It came out in 2018, and was their first release in 18 years. Neither they nor Tool seem to be especially prolific!
I assure you, I meant nothing untoward with 'stuck on a perfect circle', lol! Have a good one my friend.
@Kidfried I’m actually off to see Michael Kiwanuka in 2 days, if all goes according to plan. I was supposed to see him last year but it’s been postponed to the 26th March. Who knows what it’ll be like.
They're both good albums, especially by modern standards. I freely admit that most of my favorite music comes from the 70's and 80's. There was a lot of guitar player talk going on above, so just for the heck of it, here are some of my favorites in no particular order:
Ritchie Blackmore
Michael Schenker
Yngwie Malmsteen
Vivian Campbell
Jimi Hendrix
Joe Satrioni
Dave Murray
Tony Iommi
And after starting this, I realize it's pointless. I could rattle off 30 more at least that have had some impact on me. At the risk of sounding like the old fogey I am, I just don't think they play them like they used to.
Things aren't the way they were before...
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not like you knew me back then,
but it all comes back to you in the end
I tried so hard, and got so far..
but in the end, it doesn't really matter
I had to fall, to lose it all...
and in the end, it doesn't even matter
@nessisonett What did you listen to over the weekend?
