The Music Thread

[Nico]

5 years ago today since the mighty Chris Cornell from Soundgarden passed away.

From the first moment I heard this song on Badmotorfinger I thought he was the greatest rock voice I've ever heard.

Saw him do an acoustic set at the Palais about 6 months before he passed, was awesome, brilliant voice. Hard to reconcile that someone who seemed to have everything going for him had so many internal demons. I wanted to be him.

Audioslave were awesome, Chris from Soundgarden and Tom, Tim and Brad from Rage Against The Machine. Pure rock, only guitars, bass, drums, and vocals were used to create their sound.

Back when Musicians controlled their own music.
Beside which Kate Bush is awesome. Good to see the kids falling in love with her too through Stranger Things.

Kate Bush is laughing. Her 37 year old song is now number 1. She didn't like lending her songs until this. It's like finding an old Div 1 winning Tatts ticket hidden under the carpet for 20 years.

Hey, Gen Z and Millennials, this is our song!! GEN X!!

Read this article on the Guardian yesterday:

So, spinning the album today, bought the box set a couple of years ago, actually box set is a bit of a misnomer, album is just under 29 minutes long so only 1 record.

Such a beautiful album, such a pity Nick Drake died so young.

Eighties oldies Duran Duran smashed the opening of the Commonwealth games. Surprisingly good still.

I was wondering how they got the chance to perform, then remembered they're Brummies.

Despite their poppy nature, those guys were all pretty talented musicians.

They are certainly not Alestorm

Yep. John Taylor's a really good guitarist.

FMD. Tweeny pop metal, I can't unhear that crap.

But like Oasis - bless them - a group where each line of their songs has no relation to the next.

Kasey Chambers with this ball-tearing cover of Eminem's Lose Yourself. Goosebumps.

Never been a fan but that is an absolute ripper.

Sure is.

Been listening to a heap of Eddie Van Halen. Not so much Van Halen the band but his specific guitar work, interviews, demo and studio sessions, appearances with other bands and musos. That sort of stuff.

Far out the man could play. Unreal. Bit like BB King in that he could never read music. He just “played”.

Another that's never been much of a Kasey fan, but FMD. Certainly shreds the arse out of that one. Massive.

Gone back to Crowded House again. They are just perfect.
