Good Band Thread

By the way, words cannot describe how happy I am to have NEVER heard the original version of that.

As someone who was in high school when it was a "hit," I envy you.

This is not at all obscure but on the 57th anniversary of "the day the music died" this is a must. This song is a tribute to music and musicians. I worshiped this song, never ever tired of hearing it despite that I probably heard it over 20 times a day in its time. I know it's every lyric. And I still love this song as much today as I did the first time I heard it. It was a double sided 45 on the juke box, so it cost 20¢ to play instead of the typical 10, but we all played it till it couldn't play no more (it literally had to be replaced in our school cafeteria jukebox). RIP Buddy Holly, Rickie Valens and The Big Bopper.

Awesome tune & cool tribute video!

I'm not posting a video today, because most of the songs are 8+ minutes long. They are not obscure today, but in 1986 they were. Today marks the 30th anniversary of the release of Master Of Puppets. If you are / were a fan of Metallica dig out the Master CD and crank it up. Even if you don't like them, it's undeniable that album changed rock music forever. hard to believe it's been 30 years...I remember hearing it for the first time like it was yesterday (yes I am getting old...I was in high school).

I just wish they were still as good as they used to be. Don't get me wrong, I'm a metal guy & I can appreciate them, but Lars is so overrated & full of himself. And, let's face it, they haven't really released an album as good as their old stuff in years.

I'll listen to some Matter of Puppets today though, for sure. In my truck. That's not really a good choice for the office.

I saw WASP, Metallica and Armored Saint for $20 at a music venue in Cleveland about the size of a movie theater. I barely knew them...I went to see Saint. Lol

True, some of the newer stuff is not as good. I thought Death Magnetic was pretty awesome though, for a group of guys as old as they are.

Why not start your Monday morning with some Leo. Enjoy!

Thanks Sajo. I was in a good mood already today.

I actually went through this entire thread again this morning making sure I didn't miss any. lol
And I did miss one or two. :thumbsup:

Not only is this a great thread, it's had a little economic impact. I've bought a few of the tracks and a 5 Finger DP album.
They still call them albums, right??!??

My contribution for today. I heard the Song "Trees" in a Pandora mix and investigated this band a bit more. I found the self titled album and damn near every track on it is good. It's been in my regular rotation for a long time now. I found out MUCH later that Marty was on that INXS show to find a new singer and he was one of the last 2 finalists.

Without further adieu, Marty Casey and the Loverhammers with one of my favorites: Casualty.

I still call them albums. I guess that's showing our age? This is a cool thread.

And for the remake of the day, I'll go with this one which came up in the random mix on my phone during the commute today:

Ozzy singing "Shock The Monkey"....way too cool! Thanks Pere! I am downloading that from Play Music and adding to my cool covers playlist.

 

[Jonny Kansas]

Coal Chamber too. Good band.

If you didn't know Johnny remade "Hurt" @sajokaz, I'm assuming you didn't know he remade this too:
