New Cure album is solid. Anyone else listen yet?

Not bad. Robert Smiths voice is still solid..dude looks ancient. Makes me feel old.

Awesome solos in this one!

I love how subdued this song sounds. It's like they want to break out a Halleluwah-like jam, but someone is napping in the next room. This song literally haunts my dreams, so maybe it's me

Damn! Former Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake, and Blue Murder guitarist John Sykes passed away from cancer! I am absolutely gutted! He was easily one of my top 5 favorite guitarists and a big influence on my own playing! He captured maybe THE best guitar tone ever in hard rock! So sad to hear this! R.I.P. brother!

Seasonally inappropriate. I know.

Any list, (top 20) of best guitarists, any genre, of all time that doesn't include Roy Clark is flawed as hell.

I just watched some of his work after a suggestion from friend who plays guitar......... Said he's convinced he was one of the best 10 guitarists all time........ After watching I can't disagree.

Impressive....... But watching him manipulate a banjo and guitar in a similar manner I think with a little training Roy could do this. His natural aptitude for technicality and transitions was excellent.

I've never listened to this particular band before. I won't say it's not my style because I don't really have one. I just like different music with excellent musicianship and vocals. And I'm always late to the party, I don't give things a chance because I hate trendy.

I know it's a different genre than your example but it reminds me of something I watched recently.

I remember watching a documentary recently interviewing thrash metal bands and one mentioned how much appreciation they had for bluegrass banjo players...... He said it's basically the same cadence and technicality involved. He said if you swapped instruments it would sound basically the same.......I never really have that consideration but now that I've heard that I can't un-hear it.

New Dream Theater album "Parasomnia" is out. It is excellent! Welcome back Mike Portnoy!

I'm listening to Red Hot Chili Peppers.

 

[GoVols1998Yeah!]

I have watched this every day since it came up in my feed. If I heard this first, I wouldn't have guessed there are no guitars. They never released an album and just focused on their live show. Mr. Peepers's dance kills me, but this had to be the rare take where he doesn't kick everything over in that tiny space.

I like their early stuff, especially Mothers Milk and BSSM. But they haven't interested me for years.

I'll agree, after Stadium Arcadium they had a drastic drop-off of their music. The only good album they've made since Stadium Arcadium is Unlimited Love. My favorite album is By The Way, what's yours?
