so there is any news of a new album? because his been off tour with the chili peppers for over a year now and knowing john he can never stop recording music so im surprised i havent anything from him yet.

^^ whoops sorry. hahaha

i preferred Neon Tiger and Superman but this song isnt as bad as most people are saying it is

lets admit the only reason AC/DC are making new music (and i use that term very loosely) is because they know theres millions of dollars out there for them to earn by touring and releasing an album. being australian its mandatory i listen to and love the band but theyre doing nothing but destroying there reputation with making songs like Rock n Roll Train.

just finished recording their Sydney 2008 show which was re-broadcast on the radio tonight. I'll upload it sometime over the next two weeks.

it all depends on which city your in just go to their website and you'll find it all there for people outside Aus you can listen to it all online.

In Rainbows changed my taste in music forever.

yeh the killers are a million times better live than they are on cd. so its the tour im looking out for

Everyone must listen to the soundtrack to There Will Be Blood composed and orchestrated by Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead. the man is a genius!! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HjWIr80ln4]YouTube - Jonny Greenwood - There Will Be Blood[/ame]

i;ve heard the album a couple of times and cant say i liked it one bit the first time. but then on a second listen some of the songs are starting to grow on me. no doubt his a very talented song writer backed by an awesome band. maybe by the end of the year i might love it

^^ couldn't of put it better myself. but since this is a music forum i would say Thom as he is most talented

i enjoy narrow stairs much more simply cos it keeps me interested all the way through whereas with Plans there were points where my attention wavered. but I will follow You Into the Dark is my fave.

if we were to consider In Rainbows as eligible for this year then it would be my number 1

well ill get things rolling. this is my list at the moment 1. The Raconteurs -Consolers of the Lonely 2. Death Cab For Cutie - Narrow Stairs 3. The Presets- Apocolypso 4. Sigur Ros- With a Buzz in Our Ears We Play Endlessly 5. Coldplay- Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends 6. Cog- Sharing Space can we put Muse's HAARP?

Please do not move this to the multimedia section either.

i think pete wentz is an absolute legend and an incredible musician. his ability on bass guitar is truly second to none and the success of the band is due solely to his skill and creativity. since the band first broke through with their ground breaking masterpiece of a debut record this guy has been re-inventing the instrument. people shouldn't be misled by his good looks, if you look beyond that you will see his true talent. Wentz makes other wannabe bassist like Cliff burton (metallica) Flea (rhcp) and les claypool look like a joke. the only bass player that i would compare to wentz would be coldplay;s very own Guy Berryman. otherwise there is no one quite like him. his spectacular 15min solo's just blow my mind every time we should all be grateful that we can say we were around when Pete Wentz was at his peak (i dont know how he could possibly get any better than he is right now). if the Who's John Entwistle was alive he would be very proud especially of pete's bass work in this video [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiJyXtMKLzw]YouTube - Pete Wentz Licks Bass[/ame] - i have never seen a man play a bass guitar quite like this (maybe except Guy and nickelbacks bass player). Pete Wentz will go down in history as one of the great rock musicians. i think even led zeppelins john paul jones admitted that wentz is better than he ever was.

that should shut Mr West up for a bit. he had a huge whinge after last years awards where he lost all 5 categories he was nominated for. didnt like the song good life (i guess the vid was OK) but loved the album cant wait till kanye brings out some more stuff but lets all be honest.......do these awards meen anything whatsoever. unlike a few years back most of the awards are viewers choice so its more of a popularity contest than anything else. in my opinion mtv has no where near the credibility it once held in the music world.

^^ exactly right!!! they havent been down to aus for 5yrs now and have only been here 3 times in their 16yr careers. i guess some bands think they're too good to go to some countries

sorry to turn this into a chili pepepers thread but here is a whole collection of awesome jams by the chili peppers. i firmly believe that john is at his best with his with flea chad and anthony opening jam from 1999- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4IkLGh-pt8 opening jam from 2006- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2MWLhgT85s improv at the end of song- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGcajhEM0Rw - watch from 3:15 onwards) massive solo - - last minute in particular one of his best solo's - - arguably one of the greatest moments in live music history jamming with flea - - better than slane and hyde park but not as good as rock werchter (which i will post soon) finishing jam - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJEjGSgZ9zg i could go on for pages but thats the best i could sum up how could of a improvisationist he is.

i'm into about 5 of the genre's listed. that must meen im schizo!! what a load of crap!!!

Yellow The Scientist Politick the third one is hard to choose for me but lately it has been politick but sometimes i go for GPAS

^^ it would be much better news if they announced some extra dates in aus and south america. but people should realise that In Rainbows was nothing more than a compilation of tracks they had performed live over the last decade but hadn't had the chance to record properly so its really no surprise that the boys are ready for LP8

^^ stolen or did he sell it for drugs. i know that he sold the one that the rolling stones gave him as a gift, are you talking about that one?

yeh top band especially their last two albums. missed out on their aus tour they were only in the country for 6 days but they did webcast a show on MySpaceTV which should be avaiable for download in a weeks time.
