i saw it on a music channel this morning. they look like a big rock band now haha. very fancy looking video clip with weird special effects everywhere.

yeh Narrow Stairs is the one that i found to be accessible.

ROCK WILL NEVER DIE!!!

new song For What Its Worth- first official single off Battle For The Sun [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt05zXzASb0]YouTube - Placebo For What It's Worth[/ame]

^^ haha his a very very popular classical conductor/composer with a modern touch.

i doubt we'll get a full LP by the end of the year. but i look forward to hearing a handful of tracks towards the end of the year. i'm expecting a change in direction from the band. not sure where.

i watched the Coachella festival webcast last night. and The Killers were amazing!!

Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees Pearl Jam - Immortality Nirvana - Something in the Way U2 - All I Want Is You Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye Powderfinger -These Days Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here and of course every nickelback song ;)

i have a great idea for a new thread Andre Rieu vs Slipknot

i've downloaded about 300. but i've only kept maybe 220. are we including compilations?

wow briggins Neon Bible over Funeral. i never knew u liked it more than the debut!! i was initially going to put Neon Bible because in all honesty it is my favourite out of the two. but i thought my vote for Funeral would go further.

wow im almost embarassed to even write how many albums and singles i have. being of this generation i guess downloading is a big part of my life. but i am the proud owner of about 150 bootlegs, a collection i started early 2007. and mostly made up of my own recordings

i think we've reached a compromise. now can we get back on topic.

i'll only do bands that have been around for a while Radiohead Coldplay Pearl Jam Nirvana Guns N Roses Chemical Brothers White Stripes (missing a few EP and singles) and almost done with U2 plus another 10 or so bands who have only 2 or 3 albums.

i agree with RICK8 to a certain extent that rock is very very different to metal. rock is simple vocals, lightly distorted guitar or even acoustic, finger picked bass usually with no distortion or very little, regular paced drums and sometimes keys. lyrics are usually based around romance, life or politics. metal on the other hand has harsh often screamed vocals, heavily distorted guitar played very fast, heavily distorted bass that often sounds like a lead guitar (watch some cliff burton solos) and rapid drumming with alot of double kicks. lyrics are often on the topic of death, anger and hatred but obviously not limited to that. but personally i think a large proportion of Metallica's music is hard rock not metal. largely due to the fact that the vocals are plain and there isn't always shredding.

didnt they give thom yorke's eraser a pretty average mark also.

changes every day. not my favourites but rather a list of the 10 bands i think represent rock the best. 1. Led Zeppelin 2. Rolling Stones 3. The Beatles 4. Pink Floyd 5. U2 6. Queen 7.Red Hot Chili Peppers 8. The Who 9.Metallica 10. AC/DC not necessarily in any order.

one of my favourite videos of RHCP on youtube. i wish i had the time to upload all my RHCP concerts onto youtube, alot of their best performances are not available. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkRVxRtola4]YouTube - Red Hot Chili Peppers - Slane Castle Intro[/ame]

2732 please please please dont tell me that you had never heard this song before today!! it was easily the biggest rock song of 2008. just proves what little support Americans give to their own bands. the album Only By The Night sold 305 000 copies in Australia (population 21 million) but sold only 150 000 in the US (population 300 million). for goodness sake they headlined Glastonbury!!!

from memory it was in the March edition of the magazine. and for all i know i could have misread it. i just saw a lack of stars next to Mirror Noir and flipped the page in anger.

http://www.nme.com/news/arcade-fire/44031 Arcade Fire are back together after a year long hiatus. They are excited to be starting work on their 3rd album.

they played their first show a few hours ago in New York City. here is a review of the show as well as loads of pictures and a few videos. http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2009/04/the_dead_weathe_2.html here is the first interview the band did. its very very interesting. jack talks about his record label, the formation of the band as well as the future of the White Stripes. http://www.self-titledmag.com/home/2009/04/14/the-perfect-storm-st-corners-the-dead-weather-for-one-of-their-first-full-band-interviews/ cant wait for the new album!!

wow i cant believe there was never a thread made about these two guys. i absolutely loved their album, from memory i put it no.10 on my 2008 best album list. interesting fact: miles kane actually made an album with the last shadow puppets before he even released an album with his regular project the Rascals.

P Diddy "i'm proud to be the newest member of the artic monkeys" its ARCTIC you idiot.

i always preferred the second disc (mars). i got over Jupiter quite quickly.
