its not one id say go, get. but at same time i quite like a lot of it. still thinking over us and themQuote:

Didn't have quite the same impact through my Wharfedale Dentons. Still a classic though, it has seen me through all my system's incarnations :)Quote:

Got this thing warmed up now so might as well make the most of it:

on my system now I can hear he sings 'My libido' on 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'. I always used to hear that as 'Panel Beaters'. Still jars with me.Quote:

I was mostly geting into Steely Dan and Creedence back then IIRC
(Noel) Gallagher noted in 2006 that the 1994 Oasis single "Live Forever" "Was written in the middle of grunge and all that, and I remember Nirvana had a tune called 'I Hate Myself and I Want to Die,' and I was like ... 'Well, I'm not fucking having that.' As much as I fucking like him [Cobain] and all that shit, I'm not having that. I can't have people like that coming over here, on smack, fucking saying that they hate themselves and they wanna die. That's fucking rubbish''
Foo Fighters - 'There Is Nothing Left To Lose'

Back when this came out my boss's boyfriend was big pals with Dave Grohl. I told him to tell Grohl that IMO he had made a classic rock album.
Didn't expect him to actually mention it to him, but he did. He said Grohl was very appreciative and said 'Thank you'.
Read an interview with him not so long ago where he says this is his favourite of all their records.
Quite right too. I do have respect for Noel's talents and opinions. It's just Liam that's a bit of a dick.Quote:

I only have the one Dave Gilmour LP - his first, which I do like, but it's not a 'must have'.
Is Nirvana 'grunge'? If it is, then it's different to Neil Young's grunge period, as I quite like Nirvana but loath that of Neil Young.Quote:

Good job I saw Velvet Revolver in the early noughties when they were young enough to still kick ass!!!!!
its close to a must have if your into floyd.. gilmour did very well with itQuote:

Some say that was part of the inspiration for Grunge but I'm not sure if that's really true.
Sabbath probably more of an influence as they were pretty much the influence for anything heavier than the Stones.
This is where genre labels fall down. I always assumed Black Sabbath were 'heavy metal'; a genre I really disliked - but then I dislike Deep Purple, Iron Maiden etc. :sofa:
No need to hide behind the sofa. Judging music by its genre is crazy, I think one should judge it on whether one likes the tune/song or not; I wouldn't think that "More Than Words" by Extreme was the product of a metal/rock/funk fusion band but, its a great tune/song; neither would I think that "Every Rose Has Its Thorns" by Poison was a song by a Glam Metal band or "Changes" by Black Sabbath was by a full on genre inventing metal band!!! :thumbsup:Quote:

I think when describing a band, genre is too blunt a tool, and can be misleading. I don't get how some folk sort their music collections according to genres, I'd end up wasting more time looking for stuff than playing it.
I agree. Storing alphabetically suits me best, although that needs further sub-indexing for acts that begin with 'The' :).Quote:

Not Joni, but Kind of Blue :)

Started as a crap joke, but then I thought why not, I haven't played it in ages :)

I do file my collection by genre: Classical; Jazz; Blues; Folk; Rock and Pop, and World.Quote:

Cataloguing of Classical music is further divided into size: concerto, sonata, symphony etc. alphabetically, and then under the name of the performers. If the work has been recorded more than once by a particular orchestra say, then it is further filed under conductor/leader and/or date of recording.
May all sound a bit 'anal' but it works for me.
That's the important bit :)Quote:

More Floydiness. I don't think I've played this since I bought a fresh copy five years ago, so it was due an outing.

Being one of the more senior members of AoS, it will not surprise you to know that my musical journey started in the '60s, and as such I became interested in performers and groups of the time; some of which I'm embarrassed now in retrospect to admit I liked. :doh:Quote:

Pink Floyd; The Nice; The Doors; Family; Soft Machine, etc.
Although contemporaneous, I listened to, but disliked "heavy metal" such as Deep Purple; Black Sabbath; Iron Maiden, and my dislike has not diminished with time. I did/do like Led Zeppelin, but that is due to them being blues-based, rather than the tedious nihilism of most heavy metal groups.
It was through listening to British blues-influenced groups such as John Mayall's Bluesbreakers; Fleetwood Mac; Keef Hartley etc. that encouraged to seek out the US blues players that had influenced them.
That's enough to be getting on with for now - after near 60 years of listening, my musical tastes have expanded enormously, yet I still try to keep up with what is new by watching Jools Hollander 'Later', but rarely find anything there that 'fires me'.
As long as you like it, that's all that matters!! :thumbsup:Quote:

I'm not quite so sure about "tedious nihilism," I think the devil and the beauty are in the detail (of the playing). That's the opinion of myself after around 52 years of music obsession and seeing countless bands and singers!!!Quote:

One or two nits I feel need picking:
Firstly the casework, it's absolute crap! Unnecessarily large, it won't fit alongside the other CDs, it needs to stand on its side. Also, "Comfortably Numb" is conspicuous by its absence. This song formed part of the live set, and is included in the DVD/Blu Ray, so why not here? Also much of the vocals are a bit iffy, some of which will be down to guest vocalist Spandau-man Gary Kemp, but I also think Waters' voice is moving past its sell-by date.
Now onto the good bit:
Excellent recording, interspersed with some startling dynamics and subterranean bass which I could feel through the sofa. When CD1 kicked off the cat almost shit herself and made a bolt for the door. The song structures sometimes sounded a bit clumsy, lacking the 'smoothness' of the original versions we know so well, but then it is live, so we probably shouldn't expect it to.The arrangements aren't necessarily worse, just different. And I found that quite refreshing.
All things considered, well worth the six pounds fifty it cost me, and I look forward to next time Anita leaves the house and I can give it some proper welly!
All my opinion of course.
got mine today too... not listened yet but its been file-ised so the card packkaging wont be touched again hopefully. it looks less than sturdyQuote:
