Whatcha listening to?

[toadsterama]

Since my copy of M4TD didn't come in today's mail yet again, I'm listening to some other stuff.

Celtic Frost - Monotheist. If this album was any heavier, tar would be oozing out of my speakers! Quite possibly the heaviest thing to be released this year. Or any other year, for that matter.

Terry Reid - The Driver. Great lost melodic rock album by this lost vocal God.

Angels & Airwaves - We Don't Need to Whisper. Surprisingly good concept album by the leader of Blink-182. Heavy on keyboards, great melodies and intelligent lyrics. I can't stop listening to this one. Check 'em out at www.angelsandairwaves.com.

Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime II. I wasn't sure about this one at first, but I'm now convinced this is a worthy sequel to the classic O:M album. With Chris DeGarmo out of the band for a number of years now, the results were bound to be different. But it works very well, and further fleshes out the sordid Mindcrime story. Special guest Ronnie James Dio, too!

Mike Ness - Under the Influences. A second helping of rockabilly and country standards, from the leader of the seminal American punk pioneers Social Distortion.


And maybe - just maybe - tomorrow I could be listening to 'Music for the Divine'.

Cheers...Todd

Interesting stuff, folks. Todd, I´ve been into Celtic Frost for quite some time in the 80´s, since I always found them really genuine even the guitar solos were lacking a bit at that time. "Into The Pandamonium" was a great album and listened to it again today, since you inspired me to do that

Listening these days to...

Ian Paice - Battle at the Planet (great bootleg from 2004, he also played "Mistreated")
Tommy Bolin - Whips & Roses (me too, David...lol)
Manowar - Kings of Metal (after a long hard day...)
Metallica - Master of Puppets (20 years ago I bought the album, still the best for me, beside the "Black Album")
Gov´t Mule (Warren Haynes) - Tales of ordinary Madness
(what a great musician)
Johnny Cash - the 2003 album (last one)
Jack Bruce - Shadows in the Air (one of the best musicians I know)
Glenn Hughes - Addiction (love the hard edge of this album and the pure energy combined with the raw production)
Europe - Start From The Dark (better than ever before)
Texas - Greatest Hits

I think thats it....

I did look out for anyone wearing Glenn Hughes/CTC shirts just in case - but sadly didn't see any.

What a fantastic day - the weather/the bands. So brilliant to see Journey
(Shame we got stuck on the M1 in a traffic jam for 3 hours going home and my car conked out! )

Bassboy, I see you have Andy Fraser's new Cd on your list - were you by chance at his recent show in Temecula? I was there.

Todd

[JohnH]

A lot of Toto lately. Their new one and 1999's Mindfields, Los Lobotomys, Lukather's 94 solo album that was called Los Lobotomys Candyman. As I've been slacking on new music I just splurged at NEH and eagerly await Fri or Sat's arrival of Devine Music, Moonstoone, and Jorn's the Duke. Hopefully these will be on the multiple back to back, frequent playlist like Falling in Between has been since Feb, the last new album I bought.

Unfortunately Todd, I found out about the Fraser shows too late but I did read some of your review in a recent post, and you were kind enough to let me know which two songs, Andy played bass on. I do have a buddy that was one of the camera crew that recorded the event for Andy's management and site. Hopefully I'll get a vid ....I, along with Mr. Hughes, have been a huge fan of Andy's for a long time.

No Worries Todd ...I think some of my brain cells have left the building as well, after playing loud music for so long

Christian that is quite an esoteric, but most excellent list. All of them great albums. Especially BOXER (Mike Patto & Ollie Halsall RULE!!!!) and Caravan (Ranks right up there with...."If I could do it all over again.....I'd do it all over you" ) .... Hope you get your copy of M4TD soon!

[chrisloeb]

Hi bassboy - I'm impressed

I listened to the Boxer album a couple of days ago, but originally I didn't want to put it on the list, since I didn't think that anybody would know it.
Then I thought I put it in to see if anybody actually knew it!

Patto and Halsall were both outstanding musicians. I'm glad that their legacy is still being held up by music enthusiasts like we are, even 25 years after we lost Patto and almost 15 since Halsall's tragic and unexpected death

Nice album cover too....don't forget

Thanks Christian, a band I was in a few years back used to do a version of "Shooting Star", and we always got great comments from the audience. I've got the other two Boxer albums as well, "Bloodletting" and "Absolutely"...both of them very enjoyable even today

[bassboy]

I would have been an even NICER cover Chip...had it not been for that "well placed" boxing glove!

[toadsterama]

Anyone else here dig Little Feat? I've always known of them, but never actually listened to them. On a whim, I picked up their Live From Neon Park disc, and I'm having a ball spinning that thing - it's a funkified rock and blues party, drenched in New Orleans soul. Superb.

Next up? The band's revered 'Waiting For Columbus' live disc, featuring the late Lowell George.

Cheers...Todd
