  1. I just saw this DVD for the first time last night, and I think it's probably the best concert DVD I've ever seen. David plays two sets, the first being a couple of Floyd songs before he goes straight into his latest album On An Island in it's entirety. Then, the second set is comprised entirely of Pink Floyd classics, including the first 5 parts of Shine On You Crazy Diamond, a full version of Echoes and also Arnold Layne and Comfortably Numb with David Bowie on lead vocals, plus some others.

    The video and sound quality is really amazing, and the guests Gilmour pulled in are all cool. David Crosby, Graham Nash, David Bowie and Robert Wyatt all add to the songs they perform on, and the atmosphere throughout the whole thing is great.

    And the extended solo on Comfortably Numb is just...

    Anybody else seen this?

  2. I read a lot of stuff recently on GH4 and it looks really good but for God's sake c'mon. It's GUITAR HERO, not Guitar Hero 4-With drums and shit.

    I'll probably get it but this might as well just be Rock Band 2 and they should make GH4 with just a God damn guitar.

    Well they pretty much have to, if they don't add all of the shit that Rock Band has and more, they may as well just give up and not continue the series.

    Create-a-song does sound pretty awesome though.

  3. Alice Cooper's new studio album is due at the end of July. Titled Along Came A Spider, it's a 'conceptual work about a serial killer known as Spider'.

    Taken from the July issue of Classic Rock magazine, so no link.

  4. Frank Zappa and the Mothers

    Shit, I bet that was an experience!

    Mine was same as BrownRock, GN'R at Newcastle.

    Bach kicked ass that night, BFMV were just plain shit and Guns tore the house down, until of course Axl fucked off...

    Ain't seen that many since really, always short on money when the bands I like come around.

  5. There's no denying the brilliance of his glam albums either. Some months ago, whilst bored out of my mind at school, I made a list of my top 20 concept albums, and I came to the conclusion that The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars was at, I believe, number 8, putting it in front of such albums as Freak Out!, The Dark Side of the Moon and Animals.

    :o You must know some pretty amazing concept albums if Ziggy Stardust was only at 8!

  6. frankly,both of these bands are pretty bad, Nickelback and Hinder piss all over them

    Would you care to explain why?

    because VR and BOD are both bands that you can't wait for the new albums and then you get them ,listen to them twice and thats that.I occasionally put Slither or Fall To Pieces on but jeesh everything else just blurs together.But Nickelback and Hinder,heck I love almoust all of their songs,fine mix of ballads and rockers,good lyrics and heck I don't care what anybody thinks,Chad Kroeger has a wonderful voice,much better than to say Scott Weiland.Especially Hinder reminds me of what hair metal sounds like in the key of post grunge,two styles I absolutely adore.

    History will redeem Nickelback, Hinder is way too young of a band to say yet,but VR and BOD are already minor footnotes.

    Look at this photograph

    Everytime I do it makes me laugh

    How did our eyes get so red

    And what the hell is on Joey's head

    No.

    Velvet Revolver, and it's not even close.

  7. Sounds pretty fucking great actually, I'm shocked. Sure, the lyrics are pretty iffy but James' voice sounds great and the music is good.

    Cool site too.

  8. I wouldn't know where to start if I did an all time list but at the moment here are some of my favourites.

    Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon

    Stone Temple Pilots - Core

    Muse - Origin Of Symmetry

    Lynyrd Skynyrd - One from the Road

    Velvet Revolver - Contraband

  9. Like Lith said, Disraeli Gears is awesome, part of what made me buy it, just so eye-catching.

    Guns N' Roses - G N' R Lies

    Pretty much all Maiden covers, they kick so much ass

    Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin III

    Stereophonics - Pull The Pin

    The Clash - London Calling

    Velvet Revolver - Libertad

    HIM - Venus Doom

    Izzy Stradlin - Fire.... The Acoustic Album

    The Rolling Stones - Exile On Main St.

    Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon, Meddle, The Division Bell

    Queens Of The Stone Age - Era Vulgaris

  10. I treated myself to Pink Floyd's Oh, by the Way boxset the other day, not having previously owned any of their albums. It came on Thursday and already I'm in love with Floyd. :xmasssanta:

    Really just an amazing band, I've listened to The Dark Side of the Moon about 11 times already, all the way through from start to finish every time and it's just floored me. The fact that every song flows straight into the next amazes me and the fact that it's 35 years old yet still sounds fresh is sublime. The Wall too is just epic, to the point where I actually give a shit about the character Pink. Yeah, there's a fair amount of shit, but all of it makes sense and has a part to play in the story, and from what I've heard of it so far some of the Floyd's best stuff is there.

    Have yet to listen to many of the albums but what I've heard so far is just breathtaking.

    Praise them and their epic brilliance here!
