December 3, 200619 yr Author Thanks for posting that,Razor. I do remember the name but not someone I really knew much about. Mine is from 1991 and is by a band that went on to a degree of commercial success after this album. I like the later stuff but prefer this one. Incredibly progressive stuff and I just had to have it after just one time hearing just one cut.
December 3, 200619 yr Author It would seem you guys need another hint. The band in question titled a later effort Throwing Copper. It was quite successful.
December 3, 200619 yr Let's see who guesses this one. I have stopped before the sleaziest bits I've been to Hastings, And I've been to Brighton I've been to Eastport too So what?! So what?! I've been here And I've been there I've been every-f#cking-where So what?! So what?! So what, so what You boring little f#ck
December 3, 200619 yr So What, or So f@#king What?! I'm used to the Metallica version myself...Though the original is done by the Anti-Nowhere League I believe... Hilarious song... Try this... Pumped with fluid, inside your brain Pressure in your skull begins pushing through your eyes Burning flesh, drips away Test of heat burns your skin, your mind starts to boil Frigid cold, cracks your limbs How long can you last In this frozen water burial? Sewn together, joining heads Just a matter of time till you rip yourselves apart Millions laid out in their Crowded tombs Sickening ways to achieve The holocaust Seas of blood, bury life Smell your death as it burns Deep inside of you Abacinate, eyes that bleed Praying for the end of Your wide awake nightmare Wings of pain, reach out for you His face of death staring down, Your blood running cold Injecting cells, dying eyes Feeding on the screams of The mutants hes creating Pathetic harmless victims Left to die Edited December 3, 200619 yr by Nick
December 3, 200619 yr Mirror Song by Live from Mental Jewelry I had no idea so I researched it from your clue. I never heard of these guys. I see that "Throwing Copper" has sold 8 million, yet the name of the band escapes me. I did actually shut of the radio during the early 90's and when it was on I listened to country.............thats the effect "grunge" had on me................. I see the album Mental Jewelry has a song titled "Tired of Me" heres another "Tired of Me" but thats not the title Feeling so strong I feel so inspired Like a man with all the words I could move the world If I weren't so tired -------- Feeling so proud I feel so admired Like a man on the stage I could play the part If I weren't so tired -------- Tired of mind and all I think Tired of thirst and all that I drink Tired of will and all that I need Tired of body and all that I bleed Tired of breath and all that I breathe Tired of heart and all that I grieve Tired of sight and all that I see Tired of you and tired of me --------- Feeling so full Nothing desired Like a man with everything I should be happy But I'm only tired ---------- Nick - Thats some really sick $h! right there........ I could almost hear Dave Mustaine singing that but I have no idea.
December 3, 200619 yr I was heavy into Live, and they're local boys. Now they're in the "WEHT?" file, afaik.
December 4, 200619 yr My source says Live just released their 7th studio recording this past summer called Songs From Black Mountain I guess this is another band on my list.
December 4, 200619 yr Author Absolutely put them on your list,Razor. They are as prog as it gets, but with a gritty undertow that only makes the music better. Mental Jewelry is easily in my top ten from the '90s. Glad to see some other folks chiming in on this thread, Razor and I can't do all the work. OCN: you never cease to surprise me, cool to hear you are a Live fan. Must be a Pennsylvania thing.
December 4, 200619 yr New lyrics. Easy to guess. "Shower in the dark day Clean sparks driving down Cool in the waterway Where the baptized drown Naked in the cold sun Breathing life like fire Thought I was the only one But that was just a lie Cause I heard it in the wind And I saw it in the sky And I thought it was the end And I thought it was the 4th of July Pale in the flare light The scared light cracks & disappears And leads the scorched ones here And everywhere no one cares The fire is spreading And no one wants to speak about it Down in the hole Jesus tries to crack a smile Beneath another shovel load And I heard it in the wind And I saw it in the sky And I thought it was the end And I thought it was the 4th of July Now I'm in control Now I'm in the fall out Once asleep but now I stand And I still remember Your sweet everything Light a Roman candle And hold it in your hand Cause I heard it in the wind And I saw it in the sky And I thought it was the end And I thought it was the 4th of July"
December 5, 200619 yr 4th of July - Soundgarden - Superunknown - Chris Cornell - '94 cheated, looked it up , had no clue, great lyrics, dont own any Soundgarden, on my list, dude in my band had Badmotorfinger way back when it was new but that was all I listened to them aside from radio songs, my other friends band played Spoonman. I love Outshined. Heard a new band that I believe has the vocalist from Soundgarden and the song was awsome. My "Tired" song, is called "So" from Fates Warning - Disconnected - 2000 I knew no one would know this Fates Warning is an aquired taste, that has been aquired by few. Here a 4th of July song many should remember, I love this song, for the feel , groove and the meaning/cleverness of the lyrics. and...uh...it may very well be quite appropriate for today as it was when it was written......... He was born on the fourth day of July So his parents called him Independence Day He married a girl named Justice who gave birth To a son called Nation Then she walked away Independence he would daydream and he'd pretend That someday him and Justice and Nation would Get together again But Justice held up in a shotgun shack And she wouldn't let nobody in So a Nation cried Oh Oh When a Nation cries His tears fall down like missiles from the skies Justice look into Independence's eyes Can you make everyrhing alright Can you keep your Nation warm tonight Well Nation grew up and got himself a reputation Couldn't keep the boy at home no no He just kept running 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round Independence and Justice well they felt so ashamed When the Nation fell down they argued who was to blame Nation if you'll just come home we'll have this family again Oh Nation don't cry Oh Oh When a Nation cries His tears fall down like missiles from the skies Justice look into Independence's eyes Can you make everyrhing alright Can you keep your Nation warm tonight
December 5, 200619 yr 4th of July - Soundgarden - Superunknown - Chris Cornell - '94 cheated, looked it up , had no clue, great lyrics, dont own any Soundgarden, on my list, dude in my band had Badmotorfinger way back when it was new but that was all I listened to them aside from radio songs, my other friends band played Spoonman. I love Outshined. Heard a new band that I believe has the vocalist from Soundgarden and the song was awsome. The new band you are thinking of would be Audioslave, which, basically, actually is Rage Against The Machine plus Chris Cornell. I would suggest picking up Badmotorfinger. "Outshined," "Rusty Cage," and "Jesus Christ Pose" are all on there. ("Spoonman" and "4th of July" are on Superunknown.) Great songs. I'm not as big on the Grunge Movement bands as I used to be (I would like to master . . . well, on second thought, learn the guitar, and, well, I ain't gonna be making progress anytime soon unless I branch out and listen to something different; realized that a while back), but Kim Thayl is an underrated guitarist. The man really knew how to use different tunings successfully. Edited December 5, 200619 yr by YellowJacket894
December 5, 200619 yr (I would like to master the guitar, and, well, I ain't gonna be making progress anytime soon unless I branch out and listen to something different; realized that a while back), 223942[/snapback] All you need then is a copy of "Surfing with the Alien", pretty much covers A-Z
December 5, 200619 yr All you need then is a copy of "Surfing with the Alien", pretty much covers A-Z That's Satriani. I know. Although I don't really own an entire album from the guy, I do have a few mp3s of him. I've been meaning to listen to him a bit further, but I usually don't have the cash to pick up an album when I want it. Satriani is a very talented guitarist, I can say that. Documentary Channel has a film in rotation called "Guitar Legends." Satriani is on there. There's a bit where he just starts doing a two handed tapping technique and I'm using the DVR function on my satellite receiver to watch the bit over and over again to study just how he does it. I've tried the same concept, and I can't get it down right. I can start off a few riffs doing it, but my hands just can't stay synchronized long enough to do it all the way through. "Satch Boogie," "Circles" (which are from "Surfing with the Alien), and "War" (which I think is from "The Extremist" or "Time Machine") are the recordings I have of him. They're great.
December 5, 200619 yr Author A partial list of my "essential" guitarists: Justin Hayward Kerry Livgren Michael Hedges Stevie Ray Vaughn Jimi Hendrix Jeff Beck
December 5, 200619 yr Yea Satch Boogie is the song !. I had tab for that two handed tapping for the song "Always With Me, Always With You" I believe it was. My buddy had SWTA I have Flying in a BLue Dream whcih is very good to. Try to find the G3 DVD's......awsome! heres about Joe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfing_with_the_Alien, not many instructors have students with the credits Joe has had. Seen on stage during any of the G3 tours, he's so happy, so humble, and so into it. He just lays his head back and sends it. Vai's the majician but Joes all about feelin it.
December 5, 200619 yr A partial list of my "essential" guitarists: Justin Hayward Kerry Livgren Michael Hedges Stevie Ray Vaughn Jimi Hendrix Jeff Beck 223978[/snapback] To bad Stevie Ray was not around to do a G3 with Joe and Steve Kenny Wayne Shepard did, I guess, I'd like to find that DVD. It should be noted that on the three G3 DVD's I did see Hendrix was covered on all of them. Most notable was Satriani. Via and Malmsteen doing Little Wing and Voodoo Chile............unfriginbelievable ! I wept, Im talkin convultions. To see the three greatest in their fields paying tribute to the man that changed the music, that changed me, blew me away.
December 5, 200619 yr More lyrics. I don't know if anyone will know the band or not. "Stroboscopic contortion-assault. Light bulb language translated into fits Codes of tendon-flickers I can't grasp. Focus lost as I writhe and twitch Random beats of blinding shockwaves. Erratic suns that twist my eyes Flashes pounding at my thoughts as the intrinsic pains multiply Muscle and tissue twined with every violent lash Battered by an unrelenting shine Immobilized by the increasing pains, the procreating agonies of system breakdown Lightwave frequency body-oscillation. Undeciphered motions pass through my flesh Bodily reverberation induced. A corporeal system lost in its waves Bleached into their existence by tremulous epileptic strokes Blasts of irregular pulsar-radiation - Triggering the process of mind and body control Lost to their control A sentence - in flashes told Enticed by their calls; - Insane, divine Torn, undone, dissolved By incandescent gods condemned Burned. Their mark on my soul To my inverted shadow confined Twisted, spun. Vertebras and spinal column unaligned Joints shattered and torn apart. Spasm-rendered distortion Organic spiral. Stretched and torn into a new creation A worldless thing, a thingless word. Lightborn malformation" They're interesting. If any modern band is remotely close to prog-rock, it could be either that band or possibly Tool.

December 6, 200619 yr Im stuck on that one Yellowjacket dont know where to look This was Justice and Independence '85 by John Mellencamp from Scarecrow, it really does have a great goove. Maybe a bit of the feel like Steve Millers "Take the Money and Run" He was born on the fourth day of July So his parents called him Independence Day He married a girl named Justice who gave birth To a son called Nation Then she walked away Independence he would daydream and he'd pretend That someday him and Justice and Nation would Get together again But Justice held up in a shotgun shack And she wouldn't let nobody in So a Nation cried Oh Oh When a Nation cries His tears fall down like missiles from the skies Justice look into Independence's eyes Can you make everyrhing alright Can you keep your Nation warm tonight Well Nation grew up and got himself a reputation Couldn't keep the boy at home no no He just kept running 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round Independence and Justice well they felt so ashamed When the Nation fell down they argued who was to blame Nation if you'll just come home we'll have this family again Oh Nation don't cry Oh Oh When a Nation cries His tears fall down like missiles from the skies Justice look into Independence's eyes Can you make everyrhing alright Can you keep your Nation warm tonight
December 6, 200619 yr Heres mine for the day. This is an answer to BV's question about soft heartfelt songs. This one by the Masters of modern progressive music from their breakthrough '92 album, if you dont know this, you should :AH-HA_wink: money well spent as far as Im concerned (hint, hint) Standing by the window Eyes upon the moon Hoping that the memory will leave her spirit alone She shuts the doors and lights And lays her body on the bed Where images and words are running deep She has too much pride to pull the sheets above her head So quietly the lays and waits for sleep She stares at the ceiling And tries not to think And pictures the chain Shes been trying to link again But the feeling is gone And water cant cover her memory And ashes cant answer her pain God give me the power to take breath from a breeze And call life from a cold metal frame In with the ashes Or up with the smoke from the fire With wings up in heaven Or here, lying in bed Palm of her hand to my head Now and forever curled in my heart And the heart of the world Edited December 6, 200619 yr by razoredge
December 6, 200619 yr Im stuck on that one Yellowjacket dont know where to look It's Meshuggah, "Spasm." Check it out if you're curious.

December 8, 200619 yr Author Here's the rest of mine. Roller Derby Queen by Jim Croce Gonna tell you a story that you wont believe But I fell in love last friday evenin With a girl I saw on a bar room t.v. screen Well I was just gettin ready to get my hat When she caught my eye and I put it back And I ordered myself a couple o more shots and beers The night that I fell in love with a roller derby queen Round and round, oh round and round The meanest hunk o woman That anybody ever seen Down in the arena She was five foot six and two fifteen A bleached-blonde mama With a streak of mean She knew how to knuckle And she knew how to scuffle and fight And the roller derby program said That she was built like a fridgerator with a head Her fans call her tuffy But all her buddies called her spike You know that I fell in love with a roller derby queen Round and round, oh round and round The meanest hunk o woman That anybody ever seen Down in the arena Round and round, go round and round Round and round, go round and round Round and round Well I could not help it But to fall in love With this heavy-duty woman I been speakin of Things looked kind of bad Until the day she skated into my life Well she might be nasty She might be fat But I never met a person Who would tell her that Shes my big blonde bomber My heavy handed hackensack mama You know that I fell in love with a roller derby queen Round and round, oh round and round The meanest hunk o woman That anybody ever seen Down in the arena Round and round, go round and round Round and round, go round and round Round and round Razor: "Yes indeed and I'm Talkin" ?
