Is that one of those bands that sing in the scary monster voice? I love them. They are all so exciting and exceptional, so unique (all of them). And anti-establishment! No one is more so.
You're such a German boy, I love it! 35 years ago it would have been Kraftwerk. Anything without a hint of soul.

Phil Ochs-No More Songs
Och's is a favourite of mine, and this sing in particular is so moving.

Admitting that you listen to music where the guy sings in the monster voice is the first step to recovery. So bravo for that. Bravo.

Rang a bell. I remember seeing the band name in Chuck Eddy's 1990 book Stairway to Hell. Think it even prompted me to buy a cassette way back then. But the sound wasn't what I wanted to hear.
I'll give them a point for doing a cover of "Astronomy Domine", the old Syd Barrett/Pink Floyd tune. Maybe a half point (up or down, either way) for the live version on youtube of "Search and Destroy".
Interviewed after Denis D'Amour passed away. I taped and watched A Headbanger's Journey recently. The guy doing the interview, Sam Dunn, is from Victoria, BC, went all over the world chasing down various paths of metal. Don't remember Voivod making the final movie but that's okay, they have something going for them. (Not that I want to pay any money for it.)
As someone on those youtube wrote: vive le metal quebecois.
(What I don't get is "Katorz". Is that a play on 14 en francais, quatorze? I only see 13 albums on their website discography.
Oh Snow White, you are so eloquent.
I love a lot of bands where the guy or the lady sings in a monster voice, but I'm picky about that. Some just sound ridiculous. But I like the good ones for it comes as a brutal release of emotions. And guess what, they have something to say - you just don't understand them, that's why lyric sheets are included.
Clever idea, eh? ;)
But I'm not listening to badabadaboom all day.
Lamb, Portishead, Depeche Mode certainly have no growls from the depths of madness, nor do Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, Virgin Prunes, Fliehende Stürme scream their guts out.
Don't stay in your coffin.
Let me give you a kiss.

That one's going in the "other titles for mjp" thread.
I've decided that for too long I have been overlooking The Beatles pre-Rubber Soul songs. For a long time I've mainly stuck to Rubber Soul and onwards, dismissing the Beatlemania era due to the overplayed hits like 'She Love Me' etc. So anyway I decided to go through each album and filter out the ones I really liked. (I only chose originals) There's a lot of songs on the early albums that I can't tolerate but these ones I love to bits. There's something great about their early sound; it's playful, fresh and fun but you can hear subtle indicators to their later sound.
Anyway it goes something like this:
Misery
There's a Place
P.S. I Love You
All I've Got to Do
Don't Bother Me
Little Child
Any Time at All
I'll Cry Instead
Things We Said Today
I'm a Loser

Since I made this on youtube I thought I may as well post a link just incase anyone felt like they need some early-Beatles in their system.

Well for anyone wondering what the new Chris Cornell CD "Scream" is like... I can give my humble opinion...It's nearly UNLISTENABLE! I'm not sure why he decided to work with Hip Hop producer Timbaland, but he did and it really goes nowhere. I mean, it's a bunch of Justin Timberlake like beats with Chris Cornells howling over them paying no attention to anything around him. Actually, I guess I'm just a fan of Chris with Soundgarden, don't like Audioslave much, and his other 2 solo albums were as bad as this one.
Anyway, beyond that, the last 5 albums I listened to:
U2 - No Line On The Horizon (Better than I expected)
Red Hot Chili Peppers - By The Way (Still a classic to me)
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Show Your Bones (These three can rock)
Probot - Probot (Dave Ghrol's Heavy Metal Side band, pretty good)
One Day As A Lion - One Day As A Lion (Zack from Rage Against The Machine, eh, ok.)

because I'm highly suggestible:
is this the moment, when I'm entitled to feel hurt?
;-))
Are we germans All listening to soulless or cliché music?
:-O
(Not to defend anybody here for his musical tastes, that I don't even know.
Just the question: is this really the image of german music that gets through to the US? I'm seriously Asking!!!)
Is it really good?
Haven't heared it by now.
I'm a fan of U2, but did not like their new single ('Get on your boots') at all. It sounds and looks cheap.
So, your indication is, the album is all right? (hope!)
hooch:
P.J. H. kicks ass, that's true for sure!

Good post, HF; I'll check out the youtube link when I have a minute. It's also nice to see a mix of Lennon and Macca (and a few Harrisongs) tunes there. Post Rubber Soul, it's almost all Lennon for me.
But, in my opinion, you missed a big one: I'll Be Back, from A Hard Day's Night. Give it another listen, you know, just for me.
This is reality, isn't it? :D
Oompah-synth.
Well, it opens with a 30-minute tuba solo that consists of a single note (Eb) in crescendo until 29:58, at which time a bratwurst is chewed in 7/4 time, and then transcends into an exposition of clocks without second hands as interpreted by a Roland D50 and a bowl of sauerkraut.
Very prog.

The Bavarians sure know how to rock the Oktoberfest. Ahead of their time.
Innovative. Music- and lyricwise. Free bratwurst for everyone. Sauerkraut for the masses. I hate them. For spreading this picture of schuhplattlering farmers around the world. Because of them nobody believes we have a diverse culture here. Like people in the U.S. only drink Pepsi and eat fast food. God bless this propaganda. I just can't get enough of it.
FTW
