Riffster Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Prompted by visiting my parents a couple of weeks ago and going through my vinyl records or also known as LPs (see this is LP related) I've been on an 80's hard rock kick since, and although my music taste has expanded signifcantly in the last 20 years, remembering the old times is always fun (I am 39). Since I came back home I' ve listened to Dokken's Back For The Attack, Accept's Metal Heart and Restless & Wild, Iron Maiden's first album and Number of the Beast, Metallica's Kill'em All, Guns n' Roses' Appettite for Destruction, Skid Row's first album. While looking at Metallica's LP Kill'em All with Megaforce records before they printed it on Elektra and added 2 tracks made me feel a bit old...

slimjimdom Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Right now I'm listening to Weezer, my version of the old days. Also relates to the forum since Rivers mainly plays LPs and SGs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixr1984 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I have to second that for Weezer. I have 4 of the 6 albums and for some reason I always end up with one playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmonicchaos Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 some of the music that i've been mainly listening to over the last week is: -the doors (finally picked up one of their albums and i really love 'em) -mark lanegan (mostly of his solo work with a bit of QOTSA and Screaming trees mixed in) -taylor hawkins and the coattail riders (the foo fighters drummers solo album. it's a really great one. i highly recommend) -Kyuss (the stoner rock band. really like homme's guitar work and the heavy bass) -cat power (i picked up the album "you are free". it's truly a work of art. it also has dave grohl on (what few) drums and eddie vedder does some backup vocals.) -The wings (i have to admit some of these songs rival the beatles) -Jerry cantrell (alice in chain's guitarist and backup singer's solo stuff. ) - Alice in chains (i really like "heaven beside you".) - Coldplay (mostly their album "parachutes'' (their best album imo) but i youtubed some of their new album and i really like violet hill. i may end up getting it) and then some of the bands that stay in frequent circulation are: nirvana, foo fighters, rchp, soundgarden, beatles, led zeppelin, pink floyd, QOTSA, soundgarden, pearl jam, mudhoney, iron maiden, faith no more, queen, jeff buckley, wolfmother, motorhead...

littlekenny Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 as of late it's been GNR (not because of guitar hero), Kiss/Ace Frehley, and some Iron Maiden. I've really been trying to figure stuff out by ear on my own a lot more rather than cheating and using tabs so I've learned a few things from these guys. Of course there's the other big bands that i'm almost always listening to as well (Led Zep, Hendrix, AC/DC, Aerosmith etc. etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradmeister Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I've been listening to my band's recent live shows to see what we've been doing right/wrong. :-D We just started gigging after a few months of practice. I love the posts about 80s metal. One of my wife's friends has a son, 13, who is into guitar and taking lessons. One of his favorite bands is Slaughter. I ask you.....how does a 13-year-old hear about Slaughter these days?!?!?!? I cut my guitar teeth on Living Colour, Whitesnake, Scorpions, some Metallica, Alice in Chains, and a lot of Queensryche. Anyway, I've been listening to Interpol, Failure (only just recently discovered them), and Ken Andrews (singer from Failure). Oh yeah, I recently downloaded the full album for Blue Murder. Damn, John Sykes could play and had the sweetest LP sound. (And I'm not talking "Jelly Roll," either. That's gotta be the worst song on the album. ) -Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Other than flippin through the stations, I've been listening to Green Day American Idiot CD.
