Popular Post munchmemory 15,958 Posted November 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 21, 2020 From one of the greatest live albums ever recorded, and which appear as much tamer versions with the Velvet Underground. Guitar duo of Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter is beyond incendiary. Both ridiculously good lead players who ghosted on early Alice Cooper records. If you are unfamiliar with Reed's Rock & Roll Animal album, I strongly recommend you give it a listen. Every song soars with leads by Hunter and Wagner. Both guys got fired because the audience was paying attention to them and not Lou. lol 1 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

munchmemory 15,958 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Such a beautiful, simple song with evocative lyrics. Beck is one of those performers/songwriters I listen to periodically and am always knocked out by him. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

munchmemory 15,958 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Yeah, they electrified instruments and added better mics and recording equipment. But it never got any better than this. The master. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Gun Of Bavaria 208,803 Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 I am currently on a major David Bowie binge at work right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll give you an interesting one: Bowie plays acoustic guitar and sings backing vocals on Lou Reed's "Wagon Wheel". You can hear Bowie and his long time guitarist Mick Ronson on most of the album, which they co-produced. "Satellite of Love" is my favorite tune from that record. You can hear Bowie's influence throughout. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm with you on this. The tunes scream out of the speakers no matter the volume. The leads actually cut into your brain from being so searing and intense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Grant's tone was incredible. But what I love about Wes Montgomery is his approach to soloing. Single note, chord voicings and then octaves. It's a real "encyclopedia of technique" for guitar. So if you love hearing guitar it's akin to like a pure shooter in basketball. Somebody who doesn't skip technique. See if you can get the "two fer" posthumous release Groove Brothers that came out on Milestone in '98. The first half of the album is actually a long deleted record the Montgomery Brothers recorded for Fantasy. And it contains some of his best and most unique recordings. Songs like "Loverman" and "Monterey (D Natural) Blues." 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Trinity Films and then stuff like Watch Out, We're Mad! and Crime Busters. I could never figure out how Terence Hill could eat that many beans without spontaneously exploding. Sad that Bud is gone to the grand buffet in the sky. (BTW Sacred Reich are a great band. But I was always more into Testament and Death Angel. Can't beat that bay area thrash!) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
munchmemory 15,958 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Just discovered this nugget on YouTube of The Who's appearance on Shindig. I recall watching the show but not seeing The Who specifically. Just keep your eye on Keith Moon, who is so young and playing out of his mind fills. And as one of the comments points out, he is actually employing the use of a high hat, which surprised me and all other Who/Moon fans. I don't ever remember him having one in his kit. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

munchmemory 15,958 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Speaking of school and songs from back then, how about Humble Pie's fantastic cover of the Eddie Cochran classic, "C'mon Everybody"? I played their Smokin' album to death. Massive power chords and brilliant Stevie Marriott vocals throughout. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
