Members Bogster Posted January 14, 2008 Members Share Posted January 14, 2008 Is there a band or performer that you personally heard that totally blew you away the first time you heard them and continue to do so every time you listen to them? Can be of any genre, era, or whatever. There are several that come to mind for me, but one of the most recent was Lost Horizon and their cd Awakening the World. The cd was sent to me by forumite Skippii over a year ago. I dug them from the second I heard them, even though they only put out a second cd before they broke up. Good, good stuff, IMO. You?

Members Thunderbroom Posted January 14, 2008 Members Share Posted January 14, 2008 R.E.M. Though I prefer their earlier stuff, they've created one great album after another. There's not a song that they've released over their 25+ career that I don't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Incubitabus Posted January 14, 2008 Members Share Posted January 14, 2008 Butch Walker, Flogging Molly and Green Day live have NEVER let me down. They are all fantastic live performances, and for different reasons.

Members Thrashterpiece Posted January 14, 2008 Members Share Posted January 14, 2008 Savatage always, always put on a good show in my opinion. And I count myself lucky that I was able to hear all 3 singers for them. Otherwise musically Nevermore always shred it up on stage for me. For a while there the singer was hit or miss depending on when you saw him but since he sobered up he is a hell of a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rikshaw Posted January 14, 2008 Members Share Posted January 14, 2008 i've got to say rush but it really isn't for the bass. the guitar work and the drums just do it for me but the bass isn't slacking at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 78pbass Posted January 14, 2008 Members Share Posted January 14, 2008 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Smg3coINg0E Sorry dude, that doesn't even resemble music. If you have to hold your gut and bend over like you're barfing to get a sound, you'r probably dry-heaving to a beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 78pbass Posted January 14, 2008 Members Share Posted January 14, 2008 Here you go[YOUTUBE]rF3YQ5WajJk[/YOUTUBE] I've always wondered it Tom Waits fans like John Hiatt? They're both gravelly voiced lyrical geniuses that have the adoration of the greats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Psilocybin Posted January 14, 2008 Members Share Posted January 14, 2008 RHCP blew me away the first two times I saw them but didn't put on as good of show when I saw them for the 3rd time. I really wish I could say Primus but they were too jam bandish the two concerts I saw them. They still put on good shows but it didn't "blow me away". Stone Temple Pilots were fantastic live, but I've only watched one of their shows. In short, I have no answer to your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cdb Posted January 14, 2008 Members Share Posted January 14, 2008 Railroad Earth continues to kill me. Best band in America, imho second place for bands still touring: moe. third place, almost tied with moe: Del McCoury band Bands that are defunct: the Grateful Dead Weather report Frank Zappa, in any permutation, studio or live as far as any comparison between Tom Waits and John Hiatt. There is no comparison. Tom Waits is a living god, and John Hiatt is a simplistic 4/4 monkey boy. Imho, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
