Great answer. For the record, I liked the S&M album. Probably the only live album I like.

Thanks Wol.

Funny thing about live albums… many times it’s just the record label trying to milk the artist’s career for all it’s worth. But the thing I like about live recordings is the rawness that’s often absent in studio work. Guitars sound more gnarly, angry and heavy-textured… etc.

In the case of someone like Peter Frampton, his whole career was encapsulated and crystallized with that one live album, whereas he was pretty much ignored prior to it with his handful of studio LPs. [/quote]

I don’t like albums because of people like Axel Rose. On an album, Guns and Roses sound great. But live, Axel can’t even finish a lyric. I hate that! HATE IT!

Bands I liked live: Van Halen and Queen

When I hear them live, they sound just like the album.

[/quote]

Never saw GnR, nor Queen live, but I agree Van Halen sounded just like the album. They were like a well-oiled machine. Real pros.

I admit I liked GnR for a few months after the release of their debut album. They seemed to be getting away from that wussy hair-metal sound and bringing back the more hard rock sound of Zep. But I grew tired of them (especially Axl’s voice and Duff’s farty bass tone) fairly quickly. I had been listening to punk for almost a decade by that time, and my taste was so influenced by the raw sound that it was hard to appreciate music that was actually produced and recorded well. Then in 1989-90 I got into what was happening in Seattle (Skin Yard, The Melvins, Green River, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Alice In Chains). These bands were still unknown nationally at the time and their sound was so awesome to me. They seemed to mix the best elements of metal and punk. I NEVER expected Nirvana to take off like they did, but evidently America was ready for a change… and possible return to music that was dark, heavy, and discordant.

[/quote]

Alice in Chains were great. They need Layne Stayley, but that won’t be possible.

Opinion on White Zombie?
[/quote]

I admit I never gave them a good listen beyond what the radio played. I think Rob Zombie is a great character, and White Zombie had a great sound… which really opened up the door of possibilities for the metal genre.

Chin up, Viking friend!

I’m not ignoring you! If you’re referring to your previous blast of hilarious questions, well… it was too much to answer. But I did laugh my ass off.

Best cover song ever in rock and roll, ID, what is it in your opinion?

Here’s my favorite:

I’m sorry, brother. Paul Rogers is the man in my book.

If you want to see a Hipster go into a raging spit-flinging fit tell them that Radiohead totally sold out.

I don’t know shit about that band, but I know it’s dear to Hipster’s hearts.

LOL! My son loves Radiohead, though he’s no Hipster.

Hell, I’m so UNhipster that I only know ONE song by them.

I understand but what do YOU consider the best cover ever?[/quote]

Hopefully this counts… but Willie Dixon’s “I Can’t Quit You, Baby” covered by Zeppelin… but not the studio version on Zep I, but the one on Coda.

After all these years it still gives me the chills.

Yes sir Beavis and Butthead thought they only had one song.

But there have been many, many one hit wonders over the years, nothing wrong with that. I would ride that shit myself nothing to be ashamed of.

I knew that was an easy one but it was to get ya warmed up for:

I don’t care how you look at me
Because I’m the one and you will see
We can make it work, we can make it by[/quote]

Damn… you got me on that one, Push.

Frankly, a one-hit wonder would be great! You’d make a fortune, invest wisely, then do whatever you wanted from then on… and you could most likely still be out in public without anyone recognizing you.

Still get the invites to all the good party’s, but nobody would care if you got drunk and pissed in the punch bowl and got arrested.
