What are you listening to right now ?

Been on a hand picked doom metal kick because I don't do just anything in this sub-genre. Trouble did it about the best you can, imo

Fun as fucking hell revisiting this whole album. What a burner. Gary was melodic
and shreddy as fuck before shred was even a thing. To my ears his lead playing
is just so full of fire and passion. Like he's playing for his life.

Listened to this stuff in HS and loved his playing and he always had cool vocal hooks like Wishing well and others. What struck me was how thin with treble and presence in the production. Not sure if it was low budget recording coupled with the single coil strats he was playing at the time?

Man, this is really fun digging back into Gary's catalog. This was his last standard "Roock" album before
going full on Blues. Some great songs and killer playing. He could burn with the best of them. Had so
much feel.

I totally forgot about this song "Led Clones" (time-stamped below) he did with Ozzy (apparently he was Ozzy's
first call when Ozzy went solo, but Gary turned him down ) where they are bagging on all the Zeppelin
rip-off artists populating the mid to late 1980s. It's cool, and the lyrics are funny as hell in hindsight.

"You've stolen from the Houses of the Holy."

New Mule. Whatever "it" is Warren Haynes has it.

I'm sure someone can make a strong argument that Mutt Lange is to blame.

New Big Wreck EP. Very proggy....

Haha! Probably. As big of a genius he is he brought a lot of shitty trends to popular music..... in my opinion.

Heard this on my rotation on my way home from work. One of THE best-sounding snare drums ever captured on a recording. (plus it's a great song!)

I've only ever heard Sarah Buxton on old Uncle Larry videos, but YouTube suggested some of her music and just listening to an EP she released a couple weeks ago, really damn good. Not necessarily my wheelhouse but super talented and compelling. Actually started tearing up at points which just never happens.

Insane! If you told me this was Europe I'd call you a big, fat liar. Wait for it.

Damn if this album is not total fire to my ears. The singing, guitar tones, playing. Fucking eh!!

I made all sorts of fun of these poodle hairs back in the day. MERCILESS. Then I saw Hot Rod here when the kids were little (15+ years ago? Jesus) and the Europe cuts in that movie were so gd perfect I could not deny that perfection \m/

 

[JiveTurkey]

Edited as I listen. Low tuning works surprisingly well for his voice. Roy Z should get more credit for helping carry the torch for traditional metal in the "dark ages". Production is great. We'll see if my attention span will last the full 8 minutes

 

[MirrorProfiles]

not sure i’ve heard a better song this year

Love the 'old school' sound of the production! Caught my ear the first time I heard it.
