Song, or Instrumental of the Day.

They are

 

UB40

 

Ever Heard of this stuff from Him. This is actually my favorite song on the album....because I hated the singer he used vocals.

 

Cool! I will check it out.

 

I haven't heard them since I was kid, and My uncle used to play them. I totally forgot about this band.

 

I had completely forgotten about them as well. Some top 20 dual guitar bands list popped up and the first comment was what about wishbone ash. Sorry, but mastodon only got an honorable mention. Not sorry

 

LoL. When they have been around for 60 years....maybe they will be ranked higher. LoL

 

This is a little different direction, but this is what is stuck in my head right now. If you've played Portal you probably know this....

 

That game was awesome!

 

One of my favorites, along with Portal 2. But like with Half-life, Valve seems to not be able to count to 3.

 

Totally forgot about them. I saw them touring with Deep Purple. Nice memory jog.

 

I've seen them 4 times live. Only B. Hines sounded bad once. People can't go off a video recorded on a cell phone that is being heard through a PA system that is adjusted, and set up for the room.... Nobody adjust the PA so it sounds good for a cell phone. LoL.
Also.....at least it proves that they actually do it live, unlike 80% of other bands that are getting caught lip sinking to a recording they have done to sound live.....

 

Not a great version. I own it also.
You must see them live.
Can you imagine how different a Picasso, or a DaVinci painting would look if He had to paint it 290 something times in a year.

 

I was telling this to a guitar student many years back.
Musicians are the only artists that gets the best possible example of their art done, and then is forced to do it over, and over, and over throughout the years, and hope to get it the same as how everyone loved it on the recording. While the painter, sculptor, and other artists.....except the actors in live plays have to get it perfect only once.
That is why so many musicians today are faking it, and being caught.

 

I played portal, portal 2, and every fan made map I could find. Freaking loved it

 

TIS THE SEASON

 

There's a Portal VR Mod I've tried to play, but it doesn't seem to run properly anymore, and apparently the VR modders decided to *remove* portals from the game for the VR mod.....so it's just a puzzle game in the Portal environment.
