I had an album by Robin Trower that I bought in Germany. It was a smokin' live album, recorded in Sweden. I have not been able to find it anywhere, and I thought that it was his best album ( other than some of the Procul Harum albums, that is ).

 

Do any of you Euro types know if Trower's live album is available anywhere on CD over there?

Amazon does them from $50 to $170 + shipping...

I have to agree with P.J.O'Rourke: Nine Inch Nails music sounds like someone threw a washtub full of cats down a flight of stairs.

 

My dad didn't like Hendrix, so maybe it's an age thing. Of course, he hated every rock act he ever heard, from Bill Haley on.

 

Discord music for a "uneven" activity (or mind ;) ) - I'd love Beethoven, but I doubt I could whack-a-rat to Fur Elise or Moonlight Sonata.

 

Perhaps P.J.O'Rourke was right - my other "easy listening" is Brujeria....

 

 

 

Music to scare White Power Neo-Nazis with.

 

Verily, I am the wrong man to walk into while wearing earphones...

Opeth does a great cover version of Bridge of Sighs and they just released an EP with a great cover of Would? by Alice in Chains.

 

Been getting a lot into covers lately, here are a few that I've been listening to:

 

"No Quarter" by Tool (originally Led Zep)

"Hallowed by Thy Name by Machine Head (originally by Iron Maiden)

"Battery" by Machine Head (Metallica)

"Escape" by Hatebreed (Metallica)

"Ghosts of War" by Hatebreed (Slayer)

"Stargazer" by Dream Theater (Rainbow)

"To Tame a Land" by Dream Theater (Iron Maiden)

How does Trower's stuff compare with Procol Harum? Mostly similar, or mostly different?

 

Mostly different, although Trower's guitar style is evident in its development during the Procul Harum years. Trower didn't write any of Harum's songs, at least that I'm aware of. I seem to recall that Gary Booker did most of the music writing, but it's been a long time since I've read the liner notes. I must have worn out three copies each of the "Procul Harum" and "Home" albums.

 

The first Procul Harum album ( including "A Whiter Shade of Pale", among other very good tracks ) is one of the better musical products of the 60's, IMHO. They had quite a few very dark and odd songs, with lyrics by Keith Reid, IIRC.

Inside joke really directed at (or with reference to) Hittite Under the Bridge. I was being admittedly snide about Joe "all-my-songs-sound-the-same" Jackson, but didn't really mean any harm. Just joshin' with ya'. ;)
