  1. I just bought the deluxe edition on lunch break and it kicks ass. :rock3

    If you are going to buy the album, buy the double disc from Best Buy. You will be cheating yourself if you don't. Plus, get it this week while it's on sale for 16.99. Otherwise you'll pay 24.99 next week.

    The Double Album is worth it simply for the studio version of 'The Man I Didn't Know'

  2. Check out his song Paralysis on Weiland's Myspace page. Took a few spins, but it's growing on me.

    It's one of the catchiest songs I've ever heard, I can't stop listening to it.

    Good on ya, Scott.

    Yep, it's definitely got a Bowie vibe to it. Weiland has never been afraid to explore many different styles of rock, you have to respect him for that.

    Exactly, I love that he's doing whatever the fuck he wants now; a true artist :)

  3. I'm gonna go with Kashmir, for this reason:

    'In an interview he gave to Rolling Stone magazine in 1988, Plant stated that "Kashmir" was "the definitive Led Zeppelin song." He also said in an audio documentary that he loved this song not only because of its intensity but also because it was so intense without being considered "heavy metal", a label no one in the band liked'

  4. Can anyone tell me what scale Finck's scale is derived from? I know how to play it, I'm just more interested in the scale that was used.

    It's quite a strange one, that's for sure :ph34r:

    Thanks to all those who help.

    On the song Chinese Democracy? D Major Pentatonic.

    Are you sure? I could've sworn the song was in D Minor...But the solo itself sounds like it could be the Harmonic Minor scale? :question:

  5. STP went all over the place and even though I'm partial to the drop tuned riff rockers, they did some excellent softer stuff.

    Definately; Creep, Sour Girl, and Interstate Love Song are definately some of their best songs, and they are quite soft compared to most songs in their catalogue.

    Brilliant band. I just recently got into them; I only have Core and Purple so far but they're both great and I plan on getting the rest.

    Scott really had this great thing going on with them; you could tell he was really in his own element with all the trippy and abstract lyrics that he writes, even still. His voice is so good on both these albums, very powerful. A lot of people say that he's an Eddie Vedder rip-off, but I personally can't see it; I don't think he intended to either.

    Coupled with Dean DeLeo's unusual chords and bizarre guitar solos, they were a great musical duo that both reflected each other's musical styles perfectly.

    Robert DeLeo is also a great bassist, one of the most interesting players I have heard. It's a shame that the bass is often overlooked, as it really shouldn't be in this case. His basslines on 'Creep' are so out of the blue, yet it adds so much more to the atmosphere of the song.

    Eric Kretz is a very capable drummer, with a 'huge' sound that's very hard hitting, much like Dave Grohl.

    In my opinion, out of all of the big 'grunge' bands of the decade, Dean DeLeo is the most interesting guitarist to come from it. Scott is still a brilliant singer and frontman, and I was happy to hear they may be getting back together, as much as I love VR. Out of the two albums I have heard so far, Purple is my personal favourite, as it was when they really began to break away from the typical 90s 'grunge' sound and carve their own sound.
