Ronald Jenkees - Throwing Fire

What Makes This Song Great? QUEEN Bohemian Rhapsody

BSR says...

What is a good song to test audio quality?
“Bohemian Rhapsody” is one of the greatest songs of all time, and the dynamic changes throughout the song make it great for sound system tests as well.

Yeah, I have heard similar, but it's always from people who don't listen to metal.

Don't get me wrong, Led Zep are one of the greatest bands ever, but they're rock (with some amazing blues, folk, country, etc. thrown in).

They have a couple of songs (Communication Breakdown, Immigrant Song, for example) that are almost-kinda-sorta-approaching metal... but that doesn't make them a metal band, any more than Solitude makes Sabbath a folk band.

And anyone who thinks Sabbath have only a few good songs either doesn't like metal (fair enough, taste is subjective, etc) or has only listened to a few Sabbath songs.

hehe,specifically it was a dude i was in boot camp with.he was a massive hendrix and zeppelin fan and was not into sabbath.which of course our first liberty we both got drunk and traded our favorite songs from both bands.

but i even heard it when i moved to jacksonville florida.everybody told me that zeppelin were the masters of metal and sabbath were only good for a couple of songs.

say whaaaaaaaa?

i had to show them the error of their ways.

Blue Man Group - The Forge

MilkmanDan says...

Actually, I think the 2014 show was entirely new stuff compared to the one that I saw first. It is hard for me to call which time was better -- I saw them first (with the twinkie bit) when I was like 17 or so, and then again in my 30's.

I was really entertained by the twinkie bit -- memorable enough that that was probably my overall favorite non-musical bit of either performance I saw. But overall I think the later show might have been even better. And like I said, I don't remember any rehashed material between the two, but the time span between them makes me not 100% sure about that.

The teleprompter text warmup stuff -- sarcasm and jokey stuff -- was really good in both shows also. With regards to songs, Rods and Cones is probably my single favorite of theirs. The giant drum that is below human hearing range but physically compresses your chest was featured in that early show, from the "Audio" album era. That wasn't used in the newer show, and it added something to the live show even though you can't actually "hear" it so much as "feel" it. But obviously home stereos can't reproduce that, and there are a lot of good songs from the newer albums / shows also.

Yep, they still do that sk(it/etch) today AFAIK. Was the updated version better to you than the original version? For some reason, I still like the original designs more. {snip}

ChaosEngine says...

That's what annoys me. There is so much great music out there, it's just lazy to use those tunes.

They're good songs and the first time they were set to an action video, it really worked. But it's been done to death now.

Too much and too many times.

We can wish that more musicians would find that spark and give us more special music, eh?

Stevie Ray Vaughan's Roadie is the Epitome of a Professional

CrushBug says...

The absolutely craziest roadie work I ever saw was at a concert for an Australian band called Johnnie Diesel and the Injectors. Great band, good songs, but the lead singer/guitarist played so hard that he would break a string every second song. Just off stage, his roadie was re-stringing his guitars like mad, and when a string would break, he would catch the roadie's eye, and throw the guitar off-stage. The roadie would throw a new guitar back, and he would keep on playing. I never saw so many guitar changes in my life.
