I'm an oldie (38) but there is a TON of great newer music out there if you're willing to put forth a small effort to find it. Most of my friends are stuck in classic rock land, which of course I still love too, but I constantly need something new and exciting.

 

Owning a record store definitely has its advantages :)

 

Making lots of money is not one of them however, at least not anymore. :angry:

During the Games they often play some kind of Irish sea shanty or something...anybody know what that is? Song/Band?

It's when the other team takes a penalty. It's called "Shipping up to Boston", by the Dropkick Murphys, another great band.

Here Here another one of my Daughters favorites, she enjoys them under the premise of it being "pirate" music as she loves anything pirate. Try some of thier other stuff such as Warriors Code, Roll Call, Cadence to Arms, Kiss me i'm Smitfaced! Great stuff!

One that hasn't been mentioned is Porcupine Tree. If you enjoy Rush, Pink Floyd, NIN etc. then you will love Porcupine Tree. Their earlier work was more Floyd influenced, recent stuff is heavier. I finally caught a live show of theirs when they came to Raleigh a few months ago, out of the hundreds of live shows I have been to it was easily the best.

I'm trying not to rip on anyone's tastes in here, but I just don't get Dropkick Murphys at all. The music is really catchy, but then the "singing" ruins it. All that guy does is scream.

They're an acquired taste, but they are definitely a band that must be seen live. One of the best concerts I've ever been to.

I've been a DM fan for a long time. If you ever read any of thier history, they, as youths, tried to blend the two musics that were prominent in thier Boston community at the time: Celtic/Irish music and punk rock. Personally I really like thier old stuff. I'm not sure if any of you have heard much of it but I used to get some 7" singles and low budget recordings at Home of the Hits on Elmwood (not sure if they are still there, tbh), and with napster and limewire some of thier old stuff may be more spread than I thought. The Legend of Finn MacCumhail is a favorite of mine by them.

 

And being from Boston, they are Bruin fans:

Just FYI, I believe Boston won in overtime that night.

God I'm Old

 

No, that's NOT a band name. It's just a cruel reality.

 

Just wait until you young Turks get all nostalgic for these bands that nobody's ever heard about. You'll see what I mean.

 

Best band: Too many to name.

 

Best show: Earth, Wind, and Fire

 

Coolest band member I've met in person: Artemus Pyle, Lynyrd Skynyrd. Just a GREAT dude to have a beer (and other substances) with while loading band equipment back on a semi after a show. It was in another lifetime.

 

GO SABRES!!!

Roadie huh..

 

Before or after the plane crash? I presume before.

 

I'm in your "era". I saw Skynard open for Blue Oyster Cult at Rich Stadium. Quite the show... Most of those memories are locked in non functioning brain cells these days. I'm guessing that was around 1977-1978..

Yes it is. God I'm Old.

They aren't for eveyone but I've become quite attached to them. :wub:

Just had to find a way to add them back to our forum, eh? At least this picture you can tell what it is we are looking at. That last one you had posted here was kinda....odd.

Yeah. Best summer jobs I EVER had. Got to build stages for shows in the northeast. Did it for 4 summers. Got to meet some interesting people in various places. Just a great time of life.

 

Met Artemus at that very show. It's a blur to me as well now but I'll go with '77. As you know, he played his ass off for 2 hours. And we can imagine how exhuasting THAT is for a drummer but he had this thing about not wanting people to touch his drums. Well, that's one thing but he actually took the time to LOAD up all the other the equipment as well. Very humble, very nice guy. And there were A LOT of pricks in many of the bands we worked with.

 

But I won't go there.

That calf looks surgically augmented. It defies gravity like the melons of pole dancers. What some won't do to attract large, athletic black men.

Hey nice thread idea...I thought about it before but thought maybe we already had one on this board.

 

Lots of interesting picks in here...but to me, music preference breaks down into 2 categories--anytime music and pregame/workout music. Sometimes there is overlap between the two.

 

Favorite band ever: Led Zeppelin

 

Pregame/workout music:

 

1. Pantera

2. Shadows Fall

3. AC/DC

4. ZZ Top

5. Metallica

Danzig/Samhain/Misfits

Slayer

Megadeth

The Offspring

M.O.D./S.O.D. (Stormtroopers of Death)

Ozzy (his stuff from the 80's)

Metallica (80's)

Van Halen (DLR era)
