Ratt Mhule Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Po: Any recommendations for Yellowcard and Amber Pacific for a beginner? Quality choice there with Hemorrhage by Fuel. Kick-ass song. Never heard of Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, but I listened to those two songs, and while C Rock isn't my thing, those were pretty good. Bohemian Rhapsody is, of course, an all-time great song. Yellowcard songs I like from the last two studio albums: When You're Through Thinking Say Yes- 2011 The Sound of You and Me Life of Leaving Home Hide Soundtrack Sing for Me: slower song but the story behind it makes it a great song. Lead singer Ryan Key's aunt has brain cancer and is about to die so he wrote this song through her eyes See Me Smiling Be the Young Southern Air- 2012 Surface of the Sun Sleep in the Snow A Vicious Kind Telescope- this album came after the death of his aunt, so he wrote this song for her. Another beautiful song Rivertown Blues Ten- another slower song, but you will know what hes talking about pretty soon into the song. Get ready for the waterworks Southern Air If you like some of these, I suggest the album Lights and Sounds. Skip Paper Walls. Letdown album. As far as Amber Pacific, most of their songs are about break ups and getting over them. They helped me get through some tough times after break ups. They will always have a spot in my heart for this. I don't know if they'd relate to you as much as they did me back in my high school and college days. But here are some songs I like. Everything We Were Has Become What We Are For What Its Worth You're Only Young Once Take Me From This Place Dear ____, This Has Always Been About Standing Up for What You Believe In Living Proof Follow Your Dreams, Forget the Scene Runaway Watching Over Me Enjoy!

GM_Tood Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Tood: As stated above, major props for Losing My Religion. Prodigy - did they do a song for The Matrix or The Crow? I know Firestarter (barely) but I'm pretty sure I've heard something else of theirs. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Not sure I've heard of the Clutch or Mastodon. Any recommendations for a beginner with these bands? This seems to be the tune most beloved by the masses: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kx6FV2qR2TY Although the video features a (for the most part)beardless Neil Fallon. One of my personal favorites: 1 Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 On the softer side: I suppose this is one of the more accessible Mastodon songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6WGNd8QR-U 1 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Thanks, Dude! Clutch... probably not for me. Mastadon, though. That bears further research. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Thanks, Dude! Clutch... probably not for me. Mastadon, though. That bears further research. Just don't go see them live Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 JJ: I've never heard of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils. If you want to get to heaven is a pretty decent song. Now you've got me curious..... If you've never heard of Ozark Mountain Daredevils, how are you familiar with the song "If you want to get to heaven"? I'm not aware of anyone else covering it that would be well known. As far as Clutch song recommendations, some of my favorites are; Electric Worry The Regulator Cypress Grove Tight Like That It's a little harder sound than I usually go for but I like these guys.

The Dude Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Thanks, Dude! Clutch... probably not for me. Mastadon, though. That bears further research. The first step of that research should be learning to spell the band's name correctly. Just kidding, it's somewhat of a running joke actually, since basically everyone spells it that way. Anyhow: Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Thanks, Dude! Clutch... probably not for me. Mastadon, though. That bears further research. Just don't go see them live They do seem to have an internet reputation for not being good live, but both times I've seen them they tore the house down. And their live performance of Mother Puncher on YouTube is pretty much the best thing ever. They must be inconsistent. Quote Link to comment

Sounded like a garage band's first gig at a sh**ty bar. Maybe the sound guy really screwed up, but either way it was bad. Quote Link to comment

If it was one of those outdoor festivals, it very well could have been a craptastic sound guy. I've seen sound guys set the mix up so you could not hear the singer, or way overkill the bass volume, to the point of being physically uncomfortable at more than 500 feet from the stage.

The Dude Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 The best example of sound guys ruining a show for me was Red Hot Chili Peppers. Not that I'm a huge fan of theirs or anything, but I was still kind of looking forward to seeing them. I thought it was awful, and I don't really blame the band. Other people who were there swore it sounded great, so I don't know. Quote Link to comment

VA Husker Fan Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 VA Husker Fan: My knowledge of Radiohead pretty much begins & ends with Creep, but Reckoner was an... interesting song. I've heard that Radiohead, aside from Creep, is kinda odd. You dig them, or just that one song? I haven't heard that Mazzy Star song in ages. Takes me back a bit. Tip of the hat for Bowie. Good tune. Radiohead is pretty odd overall. A musician friend of mine recommended OK Computer to me, and I liked it fine, but he said I probably wouldn't care as much for the rest. Then In Rainbows came out (with Reckoner) and I loved the entire album, and still do. I think it's their most mainstream stuff. If there had been a 5 album/CD limit on the island, In Rainbows would absolutely make my list. Somebody did a great mash up of 15 Step (my 2nd fav from album) with Brubeck's Take 5, since both are in 5/4. https://www.youtube....h?v=sgC5jM65wqY Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Knapp, my island creation wasn't for others enjoyment. It was made to kick their islands ass. But yes, I like my music to be a little peaceful. Quote Link to comment
