Today I decided to listen to two of my favorite rock guitar heros and one great vocalist. Guitarist' Robin Trower, Ronnie Montrose and vocalist Davey Pattison.
I listened to Trower songs: Bridge of sighs, Stitch in time, The fool and me, my personal favorite- Too rolling stoned and others.....
Then I pulled out "Gamma". I listened to: Razor King, Wish I was and Skin and bone and others.....
Davey Pattison hooked has also up with Michael Shenker also. I really enjoyed my day so far. Anybody else heard anything good?
Debut recordings and both have excellent content. Alter Bridge has 7 albums behind them and none are weak. If you believe "Rock" is dead see them live or at minimum give them a listen. A late Friday night vinyl session follows.
Definitely an over the top Steven Wilson fan here. Two thumbs (and two big toes) up for “Hand Cannot Erase.”
I first heard Porcupine Tree’s “Dark Matter” about ten years ago and was HOOKED. I own all but one LP from them now, every one from Steven Wilson as well as all the King Crimson stuff he re-engineered/produced, YES, Gentle Giant, and more.
My wife’s NOT a rock fan, but she sat through several PT concert DVD’s with me - latest from “Home Invasion” and with few exceptions, really enjoyed the music.
I’ve been around musicians my entire life (me I play HiFi mostly and a LITTLE jazz drumming for relaxation), worked in a music store as a tech/roadie in the early 1970s, met a LOT of SUPER-genius musicians (Jimmy Buff-FAY used to come into the shop from time to time), Keith Emerson, Genesis, Kinks, Humble Pie and others as we supplied equipment for local shows and fast-forwarding 50 years I think Wilson is one of the most highly underrated musical geniuses/producers of our time, comparable if not equal to Brian Eno.
Today I host party and I play Jan Blomqvist, Majnoon, Sasha & John. Also displaying some Burning Man videos. my moonshine is in progress soon we get DRUNK!
Checked those names and none had played them anywhere on what's playing threads. I stream-em currently.
Listening to Perma Grin now and you’re right, I do like it. Although they are all over the place! Country/Hard Rock/ Punk all in the same some. There’s even ode’s to Zappa and the Ramones In the first four songs.
Good to hear! If you wish to explore more of his work (he’s involved in quite many projects) check out titles from “Porcupine Tree”. Experimental and progressive but very well done.
