LEGEND Your Song of the Day

[Ramsey]

Just wanted to clarify that my like was directed to the George Jones song!

Hey Thordaddy and Selassie! I just wanted to confirm that my like was for Ace Frehley and not George Jones...So sorry Selassie...I like Raggae, but not country so much, unless it's Willie Nelson, Outlaw Jerry Jeff Walker, any county singer with Earl King in his name, and The Jesus and Mary Chain country songs...Wait! I like Lucinda Williams and a bunch of those old time CW women she apes...Oh! Wait! And I like a bunch of those 40's, 50's, and 60's CW singers. Oh!-My-GAWD! What would I do without Johnny Cash?

Geewhiz whizbang daddio, Now that I think about it... I like Good Country and Western ...Hell, I even like George Jones. I like George's manly voice and groove, but I love "Back in the New York Groove". KISS never ever sounded so Lou Reed! I bought Ace Frehley's solo album as soon as it hit the street. And until this day, I feel Ace's solo album was the best of all the Kiss solo albums...but that's not saying much...Maybe I should shut up and post some music.

The Jesus and Mary Chain is one of my 3 all time favorite bands...They encapsulate the beat of me...They rock as hard as any band or human on the planet, but sometimes they slow down and William Reid, the lead guitarist hides candied, honey dripping country guitar stuck in a shack behind his brother Jim's sick, dying, down on his knees song lyrics... Pay attention to the countrified guitar...Stay for the cherry pie!

The hardest walk you could ever take
is the walk you take from A to be to see!

My like was for both of them but the split was: 80% New York Groove - 20% George Jones. Ha Ha. I've listened to the Ace song 3 times now! New York Groove is actually on the GTA 5 sound track, which is pretty extensive and good.

Now that I mention that we should have a survey to find out which GTA 5 character you are most like.

 

[CodeMonkey]

Correction. New York Groove was actually Nico Belic's tune in GTA 4.

That version was performed by the band Hello. I Like Ace's rendition better. Judge for yourself.

Steve Vai - Stillness in Motion - Vai Live in LA

Legacy Recordings

Rating: A

Good Lord, how does one even review a live concert by guitar virtuoso Steve Vai? The only thing that needs to be said is that on the CD you will hear amazing guitar playing backed by a top-notch band. For the DVD all you need to mention is that you can see and hear amazing guitar playing backed by a top-notch band.

Steve Vai is the best electric guitar player on planet earth, and perhaps in the entire universe. His physical performance is riveting, his physical skills are mind-blowing, his compositional talents are other-worldly and his hair is perfect! And his band doesn't miss a note, even when they create a song on the spot, composed by audience members... which they do on this album! Oh, there is also a woman who carries around an electric harp... and she can make the thing cry.

The visual aspects are the real winner. The CD is damn fine, mind you, but you need to see this show. You can feel the music when hearing the notes and viewing the performance. The jokes between songs are funnier, the solos more dazzling, the drum solo ---with that crazy looking drummer dude carrying around talking skulls---trust me, you want to see this, not just hear it.

Steve Vai lives in a different place than most humans. Stuff goes on in his head and with his hands that might scare the common person. He is not so much a guitarist as he is an amazing musician, composer and performance artist.

This concert was recorded on Steve's latest tour, which took up the years 2012 through 2014. The Story of Light Tou rfeatured songs from all over Steve's career and then some. In totality, the tour saw Vai and band perform 253 concerts.

The DVD bonus features show the band traveling the world and also includes even more music! There is over three and a half hours of stuff to watch on the bonus disc--probably too much, to be honest... but Vai fanatics will think it may not be enough!

“To say that this tour was a powerful life experience would be like saying the sun is hot,” writes Steve Vai in his personal liner notes, penned for Stillness In Motion.

Sony Music Entertainment and Legacy Recordings have signed virtuoso guitarist/composer/producer Steve Vai to a new multi-album agreement. This is the first release on the record company. Next up will be an album of new material written by the guitar-god. Suffice it to say that after this tour the man is well-oiled and ready to write! While we wait for the new stuff, however, this show will keep you in awe, wondering how in the hell he can make a simple electric guitar defy the rules of physics!

So what ever happened to "Cindy Lou Who" from the Jim Carrey Grinch movie?

Well, Taylor Momsen grew up to become sort of a female Ozzy Osbourne.

Story of Light Tour: The Space Between the Notes (Tour Mischief)

By Jeb Wright

Yeah Prime I'm picking up what yer layin down, and in general I'm not a country music fan either add in Waylon and Captain Hook our lists are nearly identical, but back when that song was released country and R&R were called "rockabilly" IOW the radio stations played a mixture and the branch off of rock was just beginning.
My distaste for country music is founded in a perception / generalization/ formed in my childhood . In my home town there was only one hamburger joint open where you could walk to after going to the movies. It was right next door to what was called a set up dance hall definition being they had no liquor license and made their money on admission and selling the ice and soda to mix drinks with and the patrons BYOB.
Now if you remember back in college when people do that they don't do doubles they do triples and more ,and get so blind ass hammered they are dangerous to themselves and everyone else. The place always had country bands and was full of people from out in the county who came to dances in their best overalls ,fought constantly spilled out into the street came into the burger joint fleeing the police etc.

So when we ( kids ) went to get burgers after a show we were treated to them showing their asses, I developed a bigotry toward the people and the music that has softened through the years, but will never get so tolerant as to allow me to enjoy the Porter Wagoner /Dolly Partin genre,although I have to admit Nashville is a great place to go and while there it's a "when in Rome"n thang. When my boys were little we went to Opryland theme park about twice a year where they had live shows featuring almost there wannabees who were damned enjoyable made so by some very high grade production.

Anway in theme with these posts:

Jus axin' if people know what "Three Dog Night " means

 

[IowaRam]

Speaking of old time country music , I grew up in the late 70's , early 80's , in a real small town here in Iowa , and we had a total of three restaurants ,

I'm the oldest of four kids , there is me , then two younger sisters , and a younger brother bringing up the rear

And one of those restaurants, was more of a restaurants/bar , called the Ginger Bread House , and when we were little , when ever we went out to eat , that was one of the restaurants we would go to , and to this day , every time I hear those classic country songs from the 1970's , That's the first thing that pops into my mind

This restaurant was always really dark inside , they had dark wood paneling , the booths and tables were all made out of dark wood , the lights were always kinda low , and few windows , and the smoke , cigarette smoke was always so think in there , you could cut it with a knife

They also had two pool tables and a jukebox , and it didn't matter what time of the day you went in there , that jukebox was always playing country music , and after we ordered our food , you always had to wait a little while , so my younger sister and I would play a game of pool or two , or atleast attempt a game considering we were like 8 and 6 or so , at the time

So now , every time I hear a old Johnny Cash , Waylon Jennings , Willie Nelson , among many others , the first thing that pops into my head is playing pool with my younger sister in a smoke fill restaurant waiting for our food

 

[IowaRam]

Jus axin' if people know what "Three Dog Night " means

Means it's going to be a really cold night

 

[PA Ram]

Means it's going to be a really cold night

Yeah, a few years ago I finally wondered what it meant and it was basically how many dogs it would take to keep warm. A cold night could be a "Three Dog Night".

In the early 80's after getting clean from drugs and alcohol I thought getting back into a band and making some money would be good. So I put a band together from scratch and found that it was more difficult to get booked in rock clubs than we had anticipated. We did manage to get booked in country/western clubs though. They paid better plus you could stay in a club for weeks or even months. This meant no lugging amps and other equipment after every gig.

The problem was that we had to play music that was not to our taste. In those days Urban Cowboy and Eddie Rabbit was the big thing. I can still visualize a sea of men with cowboy hats and women wearing blue jean skirts and boots, while we were playing these types of tunes and trying to put some feeling into it. Every once in a while we would sneak in a Skynyrd or Marshall Tucker tune just to keep our sanity.

I still have some pictures of me with a beard, long hair, and a black cowboy hat on singing into a microphone while strumming my guitar, lol and shudder. The other guitarist had long blonde hair to his waist and was a Van Halen fanatic. The keyboard player looked like he just came from the set of Saturday Night Fever. The drummer was 6' 8" and weighed around 350. He and the bass player loved that kind of music but for the rest of us it was a struggle.

This was another crowd favorite in those days:

Yea , I remember back in the late 80's , early 90's , those country dance bars were pretty popular here as well

I even took line dancing classes with my wife , AND !!!! my parents................lol

Even though none of us were huge country fans , sure , we like some country music , but it's never been our preferred choice

But we've had fun at it ,

The wife and I have taken a few different types of dance classes over the years

I regret giving up music for football now did travel with bands as a body guard for a while so I get the audience taste not being consistent with the band , knew the guys were out of their element when they'd walk up and say "another request for Mack the Knife"
Back then if you remember the movie "Joe" and the very real environment "Uneasy Rider" portrayed had all the long hairs spooked ,which I was among them but I knew what we all know ,most bullies are trying to scare you cuz they are. Usually if I had to do anything more than get out of my chair management would be there , throw them out and I'd have to stand guard over the equipment trailer until they left the lot. Learned that lesson the hard way in Bloomsdale MO ,three Vietnam Vets rolled the bands trailer off a 100 ft hill the only thing that stopped it from crashing onto I55 was a hedge. But most the time it was" easy money, drinks for free "
