Then why say 'much more worth my time'? Did you listen/watch to Robin Trower video link?

Yes. Never heard of him, but he was pretty good! I think I was a bit to harsh when I said, "at least she sounds real." I actually like listening to her once in a while. But that style is not my favorite.

Thanks glad you liked it! Did the link take you to the start of the concert? I am still trying to figure out how to link to a YouTube video. The whole concert is about an hour and a half. I'd link to just one number but those "singles" aren't in High Def and the vocal is not as good as this long version with the High Def.

Just in case anyone is curious...Robin Trower was the original lead with Procol Harum from 1967 thru 1971 then went solo. He is probably the best lead guitar in the rock idiom ever. And has only gotten better with time. He plays "Too Rolling Stoned" at the start of every concert since he began solo. So I've heard the different renditions over the past 30 years. He is just now beginning to get really really good! He's learned what to leave out. And what to expand. He's turned rock guitar into a classical music art form. He is just simply the best at what he does, period.

The link did take me to the right place :)

Hadn't noticed this thread before. My listening is all over the map: while my profession is classical percussion, I've done most everything 'drumming' related over the years. Anyway, for tonight, I've been listening to a wonderful new CD that one of my younger orchestral colleagues has done - the Bach Cello suites (3 of them) on double bass. Here's a nice vid he did for the launch:

Right now, I'm listening to one of my remedial students sigh, groan, & make excuses why he is chronically unable to write 2 complete paragraphs on one of several verses in the book of Proverbs.

Musically, however, before school I was listening to Gorecki's Symphony #3. It ranges from subaudible bass rumblings to arias that will rattle your teeth, crack thin glass, and break your heart without ever understanding a word being sung. It is an incredibly powerful and incomparably sad piece of music. It is my 'default' when Mozart's Requiem is too perky.

There was a massive announcement in the world of extreme metal today as Angela Gossow stepped down as lead vocalist of Arch Enemy to focus on family and band management. This had a ripple effect as Arch Enemy asked Alissa White-Gluz, the lead singer, of The Agonist to takeover. Alissa accepted and stepped down as lead singer of The Agonist who then selected a relatively unknown Vicky Psarakis to be their new vocalist. It will be interesting to see how things shape up. So in the honor of Angela and Alissa, I'm listening to some of their classic songs. I'm going to miss Angela vocals. She pioneered a style of vocals that was for a long time a male only affair. We'll have to see how Vicky fits in on vocals with the Agonist.

As a followup to my post earlier this week, both Archenemy and the Agonist have released the first music from their respective upcoming albums with the new lead singers. It's a pretty even exchange.

I am not disappointed with the new lead singer of Arch Enemy... she isn't Angela Gossow but she sure don't suck :p



A little PM5K. I like their cover of "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" by The Clash, better than the original.

Hawkwind. How strange is that? You forget about them for decades, then stumble across a Youtube video and suddenly remember why you used to follow them around the country on the offchance they'd have a good night. Like this one:

Alissa's technique is a bit different than Angela's. I can't wait for the new album to drop in two weeks.




Of course, I've been listening to Epica's new album. A different style of metal but another incredible vocalist in Simone Simons. Her alto is flawless.

I'll have to check Epica out then. There is quite a number of bands and artists that I am unfamiliar with these days....

If you check out Epica and like that style of music then check out the other two bands in the 'holy trinity' of Symphonic metal, Nightwish and Within Temptation. I'd also check out Therion which grew out of the same Swedish Extreme metal scene as Archenemy but branched out into a very operatic style tinged with the occult.

Is what I'm currently listening to.

Picked up a bunch of new music this weekend.


They've been playing this Lindsey Stirling's Duet with Lzzy Hale of Halestorm on Octane (Sirius/XM). Not bad considering I don't normally pay attention to people who been on those network TV talent shows.

Ah, Akker-Dakker (that's what we call them in Australia). You've now got me singing "It's a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll". FWIW growing up listening to ACDC we used to sing those words to "It's a Long Way to the Top".

They were from Australia, were legends in the 1970s and moved to the UK years ago. Angus Young was a legitimate schoolboy then. The original lead singer Bon Scott was born in Scotland and grew up in Perth.

I went to the Delain, Sabaton, Night wish concert on Tuesday at the Warfield. It was an awesome show with bands that need to be seen live. So I've been listening to the music from the show all week.


Delain opened the show. They played "We are the Others to Close"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lZGhh41W9k&feature=youtu.be



Sabaton was next. I was not very familiar with them before the show. They were quite the revelation. They rocked the house and did two cool things. They brought a 16 year old kid on stage and had the kid stand on stage for the closer and had him strum the guitars. They also paid tribute to the "Greatest Generation" and their sacrifice in WWII. Their song "Primo Victoria" was second to last and honored those who fought and died on D-Day.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5_vifEPaAE&feature=youtu.be




Then there was Nightwish. They were so much more epic and powerful live than on the studio recording. With Floor Jansen as the new lead singer, they were able to cover both the new songs off the latest album and classics that they have not played live for over a decade.


This was taken from the show during my favorite song off the new album. This is what it is like to stand at the front. I was standing in roughly the same spot on the other side of the stage. I could not get a decent shot because it was too crowded on my end of the stage.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqVJ9YkxI_w&feature=youtu.be


Something a bit more polished.

Next up Kamelot and Dragonforce in two weeks.

Organ music - any organ music - especially 20th century French, but Bach at the moment recorded on a Schnitger organ; very authentic.

Early choral (Tallis, Byrd)
Taverner The protecting veil

Good stuff, Tallis, Byrd, Taverner. Wish I had more time to listen to that kind of music.

There is no substitute for live music. I went to the Dragonforce and Kamelot show last night. It was another epic concert as a lot of my favorite bands are making their rounds in the US ahead of European festival season.
It is about the brotherhood of metal. No matter your walk of life, you are bound by the common love of the same music. Even though I don't know many of these people very well, I see at every concert and you bond with total strangers. Not unlike pens.

DragonForce closed with "Through the Fire and the Flames". Even people who don't listen to metal probably know this one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySdLh_B3HjA&feature=youtu.be


This song has some of the most technical guitar parts. Here is a 15 year old showing how this is done.

The majesty of Tommy Karevik of Kamelot. You need to be up front to properly experience this.
