Song, or Instrumental of the Day.

I did find the clutch rap song! I do not like it. Was never into rap metals, except for some RATM songs:

 

While this maybe true for some....not true for others..

What Mastodon plays now(whether you like it or not) is not mellow....it way harder musically. A lot of what non musicians....or not experience musicians think is harder Is really simple. Why do you think so many drop a D.....so they can play with one finger. They can chord with one finger. We'll really not many play actual chords. It take more than 2 notes to make a chord.
Here is the real test....Mastodon for example can still play what they use 2 , but chose not 2....it's not that they forgot how....they just got better at playing.
Acdc fits your bill....they are either scared 2 death of progressing, or can't. It's why I stopped playing in all Metal bands....I got bored playing stuff I could play blind folded since I was 17. Black Sabbath already did those songs....now people are playing the same way....just farther down tuned,and slower.
Here's a hint the most people can't tell the difference in playing.....I played Divinations on My acoustic guitar....and a room full of people didn't know what it was....asked if I wrote it. I turned around....plugged in My electric....stepped on the Distortion pedal, and played the exact same thing, and they were like.....Yeah...Divinations.....I just smiled.

 

In fairness, I never listened to the whole new record. Honestly, I couldnt get past the halfway point. I tried. I'll give it another try and report back. See if i can make it to the end this time.

I do have a buddy who likes them as much as you do, and he thought they were trying to sound like Torche a little bit.....who is a good band.....but not really heavy all the time.

 

Well Hell...That be like watching 5 minutes of a movie, and saying it sucked. LoL

 

More like half of a movie. BUT i really didnt like what i heard to that point.....sometimes stuff grows on you though. A lot of records have taken time to grow on me. But it just didnt grab me like the old stuff. Which I still love.

March of the Fire Ants was the 1st Mastodon song i ever heard....and i was floored! Nothing like it at the time.

 

It's a killer tune for sure.
You ever listen 2 Black Dahlia Murder???

 

Yes. They are really good!

Spent this morning listening to the Mike Patton and Dillinger escape plan EP. Another one that stands the test of time.

 

What??? Mike Patton ,and ....is this new...how come I haven't heard about this if it's not???

 

No its pretty old. He filled in for them in between singers they had.

 

Ok....Don't know how I missed this. Will be getting this. Thanks
Wait is He on the whole album???

 

Its a 4 song EP. Pretty short. The last song is an Aphex Twins cover. The whole thing is just brilliant.

 

I'm ordering it. I need a hard copy.

 

I believe Newbury Comics in MA just reissued it on vinyl.


EDIT: They did

33 bucks is pretty expensive for 4 songs.

 

Just ordered it from Amazon.

 

Yes. I just gave 16 something for it.
Thanks for turning Me onto it.
Don't know How I missed this. I'm a huge M. Patton fan. Been out for almost 20 years, and I never heard of it. LoL....Me =

 

You heard Dead cross? Thats Mike Patton and Dave Lombardo, not to be confused with Fantomas, which is also Mike Patton and Lombardo.

 

Yes.

 

INTERESTING , gotta check that out

 

Jello's insane!

 

True. Sometimes it takes a couple of listens. I remember Operation Mindcrime I found it in a cutout bin on vinyl the 1st few days of release and although i liked all Queensryche other stuff it did take a couple of listens then it became heavy rotation on my turntable.
Sigue Sigue Sputnik Flaunt It was another one.

 

I have a autographed copy of that Operation Mind Crime. I thought it was a great concept album....I met them at a meet ,and greet before a show. They opened for Metallica during the Justice tour in like 1988, or 89.

 

It is a great album. It could have been because someone bought it returned it that quick and it cost me a dollar that i went into it thinking . Gosh why would they return it maybe it sucks? Damn happy i grabbed it especially for the price.
Yes, saw that Metallica show in Manchester w/Danzig Then with Queensryche at Nassau coliseum on Long island , East Rutherford, Cincinnati, Charlotte, Fayetteville finally met Geoff, Toledo, Knoxville, Memphis. Columbia Sc with The Cult. Geoff did a show at the Ryman when he did all Operation after he left the band that was pretty neat.

 

They are criminally underrated by far too many people.
