| The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued @stuartk - Oh, I know you wouldn't, Stuart. I was just curious as to what themes you prefer for hard rock and metal, but now I see that this isn't really your preferred genre anyway. It's all good! Enjoy your week.... | |
| For fans of John McLaughlin and Mahavishnu Orchestra Loved 'Inner Mounting Flame' and 'Birds of Fire' - some jazz guys at college turned me on to those; that's about as far as I get into 'fusion'. Only saw them once, on the tour where they co-headlined with Jeff Beck back in '75 or so. | |
| The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued @stuartk - out of curiosity, what themes do you think they should explore instead for aggressive music like this? | |
| The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued @kingbr - I've always loved the wordless singalong part of that song; they used to get the roadies up there to sing on that part, too.... | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @slaw - Completely agree about the Sadies; saw them open for Black Mountain in San Francisco about 20 years ago and was blown away; been a fan ever since. Such a tragedy about Dallas, RIP. | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters There is just some insane pedal steel going on by the great Buddy Cage on the New Riders of the Purple Sage song 'Death and Destruction'... . | |
| Tinnitus Dunno about tinnitus - I've had it for decades; it went along with my loss of high frequencies and I've worn hearing aids for over 20 years, and sleep has not been an issue for most of that time, but good sleep can help with many an ailment. | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @musikcrayz - Interesting how pedal steel also worked their way into progressive rock. I've taken photos of both Steve Howe from Yes and David Gilmour from Pink Floyd playing pedal steel on stage; you can get a lot of interesting sounds out of it. | |
| Tweak for BTE hearing aids Thanks for a tip; I don't have any straws around at present but I do have BTE hearing aids; I'll give it a crack! | |
| Are using hearing aids for stereo listening like trying to push a river through a straw? I've worn hearing aids for over 20 years; they will probably not sound right immediately; it's a matter of going back to your audiologist and telling them what you don't like, and they can make adjustments. You might have to do this several times.... | |
| Having a Flashback Friday - Airplane Induced @jimijam - "Successful hills are here to stay...." | |
| Having a Flashback Friday - Airplane Induced @jsalerno277 - very well said! I don't have any use for GD studio albums; to me, that has always been besides the point; they were always all about live performances. But I do have every one of the big annual box sets they've released, and I've go... | |
| Having a Flashback Friday - Airplane Induced @jsalerno277 - I'm a Deadhead! But I don't need to 'flash back' as I listen to them just as much now; that's timeless music. @jtcf - yes, I enjoyed looking through the windowpane on several occasions, too! @thecarpathian - went from being a hi... | |
| Having a Flashback Friday - Airplane Induced @arcam88 - that sounds a lot like my old buddy at college, Purple Microdot! Yes, most any music did different things under that influence. A big fave was Country Joe and the Fish's 'Electric Music for the Mind and Body'.... | |
| Why does USB feature so much in discussions about DACs when the newer HDMI seems better? @richardbrand - can't say for sure, but I'd guess that most people who stream do it from their phones.... |
