1. That sucks.

And no, I didn't watch it. I'm just practicing for when I'm reactionary and old. :P

[ghostsofgiants]

2. Good job.

:thumbsup:

[ZombieNixon]

3. I am greatly awaiting the new Rise Against album, though.

However, as well all know...it sucks due to being less than 30 years old.

[flvegan]

4. Tomorrow!

Though some of us geezers got it early.

[LeftyMom]

6. I have *no idea* how that happened.

5. I haven't downloaded an advance or anything, but I have heard it kicks ass.

[ZombieNixon]

8. The preview songs I've heard are very good.

10. Gogol Bordello score definite points.

:D

[tigereye]

15. I love those guys!

wish they would play here again, on a night when I could go. I would even brave the cigarette smoke!

[PittPoliSci]

19. i gotta jump on that bandwagon.

I thought Super Taranta! was better than Gypsy Punks. Nobody agrees with me on that one though.

[tigereye]

22. hey you!

How ya been? :hi:


Hmm. I'll have to think about that one.




What's new? I was just thinking about you today since Halloween was coming up. :rofl:

[PittPoliSci]

30. not much.

lost my job. getting ready for law school. collecting unemployment. pretty much just living the life. i get to catch up on all the reading i've been wanting to do, and i'm gettin' back into shape.

good times.

how're you doing?

[Pierre.Suave]

21. Some more Gogol Bordello for you

9. I've been getting into this one lately.

She's definitely got a bit of that spark that defined some of the greats. How much of it, I don't know. But so far I'm likin' their stuff.

I was a little worried when I saw that they did a Nirvana cover... most attempts to cover Nirvana end badly. I think this one turned out pretty damn good.

11. Some more, some not so much rock but ones I like

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZE-ML-BAAfY

There's some older artists who've come out with awesome records in the past couple years:

Radiohead, Portishead, James, etc.

There's also some groups out there that aren't rock, but electronic music still owns:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjGHwYbfzKg

and so forth, there's lots out there, one just has to try and not be an old fogie :P

[PVnRT]

12. OK, but mine are a bit mainstream

Queens of the Stone Age, "Sick Sick Sick" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcXCaXz0GbU
Queens of the Stone Age, "3's & 7's" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KXe1GdrGIU
Red Hot Chili Peppers, "Dani California" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kID5W9k-Zw
The Killers, "When You Were Young" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GMmNaVbZLA&feature=related

13. Today's rock that doesn't suck.

That is all.

:rofl:

Bake

[Broken_Hero]

14. Not to bad-edit

I liked 4 outta the 10 or so, the first one was actually decent, the Bloc Party, Hunting for Witches, Sparta was sweet, and Nobody Move, Nobody get Hurt was good as well...

Death from Above 1979 is decent, I've been keen on them for 4yrs or so, and Queens of the Stone Age, I always thought they were vastly underrated...:)

The ones I'd add are

Lacuna Coil:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6gFJogLJ_g

Straight Line Stitch:(Heavy Metal)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsXK1w0Yrm4

Finch:

DemonHunter:

The Killers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVCkSMwaGGc

I never cared to much for the Killers, but when I heard When we were Young, they caught me....its hard for me to get into what I see on Mtv, or VH1, I try to watch Headbangers Ball each Saturday, but usually 99% of the metal they play is borderline death metal/growling like a bear metal, and that doesn't do nothing for me...also, Dragonforce, love those guys....:D

[PittPoliSci]

20. best rock album of 2008.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2EQxrGU7Yc

Distortion by Magnetic Fields.

even though they don't really "rock out" it still tops my list.

close second:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0MI3gtaqfY

In Rainbows by Radiohead.

[tigereye]

24. I think the Raveonettes are a great meeting of Velvets erotic cool

and Buddy Holly reverb twang. Great stuff. (well, except for the commercials... but you can't have everything.)

[tigereye]

25. old rock that doesn't suck...

for some reason your selections make me think of Stan Ridgway - the master....
