What Am I Listening to Right now?

That's awesome. Lee Michaels, huh? Have to check more of his stuff out.

One of the best pieces from The Wall. Gilmour's solo is clean and searing.

Isn't that nuts? That was the show. Him and a drummer. Period.

He's a one-hit wonder on the strength of a single called "Do You Know What I Mean".

"Clean and searing" defines Gilmour's playing nicely.

Since you're interested in guitar playing it's worth noting that part of Bob Ezrin's success can be attributed to bringing in Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter along as session guitarists, including on the Peter Gabriel (I) album.

took me a while to warm up to them since I am a big Layne fan, but DuVall seems to have the chops down now. Seein them in MTL in March cant wait

Huh, I didn't realize that.

I don't know if I'm as interested in guitar work as much as I really appreciate it when it's done properly - especially in the context of a song or an album. For everything that Genesis had (my favourite group), including one of the best drummers in the world in Phil Collins, keyboardist Tony Banks and the obvious power of Gabriel's voice, quite often it would be Steve Hackett's guitar that would meld the sound together and make it as powerful as it was - and still is today.

While I appreciate some of the music listed here (who doesn't love pink floyd and neil young), I thought I'd post my top three so far this month just to try to broaden the gmhockey musical spectrum:

1) John Scofield- A Go Go: a Jazz/funk fusion featuring the mind blowing trio of Martin, Medesky, and Wood.

2) Chris Duarte- Tailspin Headwack: a rock/blues/jazz fusion.

3) Blind Pilot- 3 Rounds and a Sound: heard one of their songs on a soundtrack somewhere and liked it. Got the whole album and am not regretting it. I have a feeling they may be pretty mainstream in Canada by now but I really have no clue whats big up there these days. If they're not, check 'em out for an easy listen.

Nice, I always like suggestions in music.

The fat drummer in the Lee Michaels video I posted recorded and toured with Chris Duarte.

Foooooooooooore!

I'm still pissed about the game. This cheers me up every time. Maybe some of you will feel the same way.

Who doesn't love Genesis' Horizons (Foxtrot, 2nd side). It's a most amazing acoustic guitar melody ever; I just wish it was a little longer

That is a wonderful composition by an amazing guitarist - and a prelude to one of the greatest rock classics of all time, Supper's Ready.



This is a 9 minute version of Supper's Ready - a 22+ minute epic:

Prepare to have your face melted with blazing guitar, your soul shaken
by thunderous drums and your brain shattered with screaming vocals...

Not for the faint of heart.



All hail Helloween!

yep im into the pop generation
Mr. Ozwald - a night to remember
