What are you listening to?

I worked at a club owned by a friend of mine in the late 80s/early 90s - did everything that he needed me to do: play records and make people dance, tap beer or just stand at the door and look mean Sure helped that I am (or was) 6' 6'' tall, so I did not have to actually use force much, except when I occasionally had to convince the last drunk to leave at closing time.

Sure had a hell of a time back then born in 1965 btw

 

"My" soundtrack of the 80s



Okay - this one's from 1979, but still

 

My son is fortunate enough to be studying under the tubist from this group.

 

One of the best (and weirdest) cover songs I've come across.

 

What I listened to in the 80s (jr high, high school, and USN for me):

 

I nominate The Gourds, for their bluegrass treatment of "Gin and Juice", by the one and only Snoop Dogg.

 

IMHO the 12-track American LP - - which included I've Just Seen a Face and It's Only Love - - worked a lot better than the 14 track British one.

 

Too funny. I love bluegrass covers. How about a little Yonder Mountain does Talking Heads? (Pretty good sound, crappy video, sorry. Skip to about 2:00) I was at this show. It was pretty hot.



They don't usually have electric playing with them, but at that festival, there was an "Artist at Large", Roosevelt Collier who came out and played with every band on the main stage. He could just shred on pedal and lap steel. The next night, I watched him do One Way Out with the Allman Brothers. He and Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks were smokin'.

 

I'm loving all of the cover songs! Now Ska John Denver.

 

A beautiful old Israeli song which I love and remember so well!

 

This isn't music, but the question is What am I listening to?

Washington Capitals vs. NY Islanders....on the Caps website.

 

In about one hour...

 

Megadeth has had many amazing guitar players and drummers over the course of their history. I have seen most of them live in concert and they all played great. But the lineup with Chris Broderick on guitar and Shawn Drover on drums is the best live lineup they ever had. In fact I don't think it's close. Tornado Of Souls is their best song in my opinion. The guitar solo in particular is held in the highest regard in the heavy metal community. It was composed by Marty Friedman and played to perfection here by Chris Broderick !!!
