Music and what not ...

UP THE IRONS! Iron Maiden was my first concert. It was during the Bruce / Adrian reunion tour. I was 16 or 17 years old and it was amazing. I swear at one point Steve Harris pointed his bass at me.

Fantastic band with no coverage but are still going strong after all these years, just goes to show if you're good enough you don't need the media.
I'm racking my brain now trying to find a band or group who could do the same but alas the Irons are a dying breed not taking into account shite like nobodys in X-factor who have their 4 mins of commercial fame.

I saw Maiden at Ozzfest in '05 at the PNC Center in Holmdel. I had lawn seats but some drunk lady with fake tits was leaving early and gave her tickets to my friend and I. We got to head down the those weird corporate seats where the pit should be and saw Maiden and Black Sabbath from row 8. Bruce pointed at me because I was one of the only people down front really rocking out to Wrathchild.
 
Nice! The Trooper, Run to the Hills, Manofwars Brother's of metal, and Dio's Holy Diver are some of my favorite "I'm going to have fun and ruin your good time wit the jukebox" tunes. You know when other people are playing garbage and you want to get them out of your bar ... for some reason this seems to work. That or playing my sharona 3-4 times in a row.

Boom!!! - sorry about my hiatus -
does that mean you are feeling the jams? Neither of them are new - but that darkness tune/album it's on are constants on my record player right now. and Vadim - the russion percussion - is the frakkin' man

Missed this post for some reason.

Hell yeah, man! You're exposing me to a bunch of new stuff. (New to me anyway.)
 

Wouldn't just the drum part from :30-:50 be awesome in stadium, on repeat for a min or so, if we had half a dozen tribal type drums in the SS? A man can dream...

Also, video game music anyone?

Dragonborn - team entry chant?

Hearing the Sepultura drumming made me think of another amazing tribal sounding drum intro.

Have you heard Equilibrium's cover of the Dragonborn theme? Himmelsrand

I'm a sucker for epic music and Skyrim is right on top of that list. Another one I really enjoy was used in one of the Mass Effect games by the incredibley talented Two Steps From Hell

Dang it. Can't share in here while I'm at work anymore. YouTube has always been blocked here but I used to be able to see it in the forums. Now that's gone too.
 
So here's an album from last year that played heavy on my rotation - it's about 60 minutes so treat yo' self ...

I watched the "our vinyl weighs a ton" documentary earlier this week. It's a documentary on Stone's Throw Records, home to mad lib, Peanutbutterwolf and J. Dilla. Great documentary - it reminded me of the time when Madlib could touch anything and make it gold - he was also making an album a week it seemed. This is one of his more recent damn great albums- sadly his output has dimished.

The documentary also reminded me of one of the greatest hip hop shows I'd ever seen. It was a little before X-mas and PBwolf had done the NBA 2k8 soundtrack and so the tour was him, madlib, guilty simpson, jay rocc, kariem riggins, and MED - also Percee P who tried to sell me something outside - no lie.

So yeah watch the doc - listen to the album buy stuff etc.
 
Hey folks - new open mike eagle new EP "A special episode of open mike eagle"

It's a pretty solid, albeit very short follow-up to his dark comedy album last year. Very good- both are worth a listen - very clever rap - about silly things like legend of zelda and more serious things like the us government- all fairly toungue in cheek.



 

Debbie Harry rapping about being shot by a martian and then eating cars and bars and guitars - great portrayal of nyc in 1980.

Need to get to some shows this summer. last concerts I did were From the Jam which is the Jam minus Paul Weller, brilliant and Billy Idol back when I was in London in November. Billy still has it but the venue was overcrowded for my taste.

The Jam minus Paul Weller isn't really The Jam!
