  1. Yep, definitely agree about 'Jar of Flies'.
  2. It's also the tune that Bruce Johnston (Beach Boys) and Toni Tenille(sp?) (Captain & Tenille) both contribute (harmony) vocals.
  3. If this makes a difference ... I had to walk all the way downstairs (for my fact books and other resources) just so I could answer your question correctly. :: Now, I think that deserves a Tim Horton's Blueberry Fritter .... ummm, ummmm, good! But you know, I'm gonna pull out the CD soon just for curiosity ... of all these years I've known that tune, I didn't think much of the vocals (as to who sang).
  4. 2 1/2 out of 3 is really good For "Comfortably Numb," Roger sings the 1st and 3rd verses while David does the 2nd and 4th. Although Waters wrote most of the band's material (either alone or collaboration with the others), it wasn't until the "Wish You Were Here" album that he was more predominant (lead vocals).
  5. If you go check out some of my posts, I've done a couple 'sound boxes'. Since I forget the codes to actually show the code (you know, having < and > in it's proper place, etc.), just do a 'view source'. If you don't know about the latter, mention and I'll explain.
  6. 'The Partner' is his (IMO) preponderant. The ending ... well, I can't divulge (I can't spoil it for others who haven't read it) but unforgettable.
  7. I thought his one line in "The Cable Guy" where he imitates Jim Carrey's lisp right back at him was funny. I enjoyed him in 'Saving Silverman' and 'Hi Fidelity'.
  8. Yep, that's the band ... and great tune!! I've been playing their 2nd release (In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3) like I haven't heard music before. My 2 favs for now are - Three Evils (Embodied In Love And Shadow) The Velorium Camper I: Faint Of Hearts There are some clips you can hear on the net but the sound quality is awful. But check them out anyway ... 20k (very low quality) song samples Soundclips - Just click song title
  9. I'm not going nostalgic here for I've been playing the crap out of this CD for the last couple of weeks, and I can't stop it!! The band is "Coheed and Cambria" and the singer ... Claudio Sanchez. Man, I can't get over how great his voice is. Want a description? Well, you'd almost think it was Geddy Lee at times but IMO... better. I'm sorry Geddy (I'm a fellow Canuck and I love 'Rush').
  10. You know MT, I chuckled at your first reply and knowing there wasn't any disrespect. However, you must have the magic touch for if I've done so ... well, er, who knows?? :: Speaking of acronyms (I know - you're sitting there thinking, "Acronyms?? Ant's a retart!!") .... MT = magic touch, MT = Muzik Tyme
  11. I wonder if Paul McCartney's "Live and Let Die" will be in the top 100? I wouldn't doubt some of those James Bond films will make the list. I'll predict that 'Over the Rainbow' wins. It would be oh so cooooool if "Rock Around the Clock" gets a nod (I'm sure the film was called, "The Blackboard Jungle"). I'd love to see "The Candy Man" make it (if it's nominated). The same with "Suicide is Painless," the original from the movie M*A*S*H. I'm sure many of the Disney films will make the top 100, including the cartoon ones.
  12. I have that 'Brand New' CD but I didn't know that was song. You think maybe because the original post only gave vague clues pertaining to a video? And possibly peeps like myself don't (or rarely) watch music videos?
  13. Funny you should mention this. John (Lennon) has said "Moonlight Sonata" was the inspiration for "Because." As the story goes, he heard Yoko playing it and John then reversed (sequencing I presume, or the arpeggio to the chords, that I'm not sure) the chords. Although some claim the comparison cannot be justified, I just wanted to comment that the first chord/main chord for "Because" is C#m.
  14. For your first question - everything you need to know just on this one page ---> Jimi Hendrix As for what other instuments he's played, I know he did some bass work. It was actually Jimi that did the bass on "All Along the Watchtower," from the album "Electric Ladyland" and I wouldn't be surprised if Jimi did most of the bass work for the rest (of album).
  15. I'm sorry for correcting you and probably you just got them mixed up ... It was Joe Satriani who taught Steve Vai. :guitar:
  16. I've been meaning to do a thread pertaining to this type of music. Anyway yes, I do like 'Thursday.' However, my favourite for this genre is ... Coheed and Cambria I didn't want to mention them since I wasn't sure if anyone here has heard of them. I also enjoy ... Autopilot Off Death Cab for Cutie Taking Back Sunday Armor for Sleeping Sugarcult :guitar:
  17. That is "All the Young Dudes" by Mott the Hoople and yep, written by Bowie. Deep Purple mentions 'Frank Zappa and the Mothers' in "Smoke on the Water." Peeps would also say the Rolling Stones but (DP) only mention the mobile recording unit that's owned (or was owned but retains the name) by them... But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside...
  18. First, I'd like to comment of how much I LOVE that tune. You can't beat a song with this beautiful line ... " She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running like a watercolour in the rain" Here is my opinion about the song: The lyrics/story remind me of ELO's "Last Train to London." As a matter of fact, the story is all too familiar with each other. Instead of explaining, here's the lyrics to "Last Train to London" and you'll be able to see my point ... Last Train To London - Electric Light Orchestra (J.Lynne) It was 9:29... 9:29, back street, big city The sun was going down There was music all around It felt so right. It was one of those nights One of those nights When you feel the world stop turning You were standing there There was music in the air I should have been away But I knew I had to stay CHORUS: Last train to London, just heading out Last train to London, just leaving town But I really want tonight to last forever I really want to be with you Let the music play on down the line tonight. It was one of those nights One of those nights When you feel the fire burning Everybody was there Everybody to share It was so right. There you were on your own Looking like you were the only one around I had to be with you Nothing else that I could do I should have been away But I knew I had to stay. REPEAT CHORUS Underneath a starry sky Time was still but hours must really have rushed by I didn't realize But love was in your eyes I really should have gone But love went on and on.
  19. I agree with you there. In order for that scene not to be flawed, everyone on that bus would of either owned EJ's "Madman Across The Water" album or had the single. If not, then they must of listened to the radio 24/7 just to pick up on the lyrics. I don't think so. Yes MT, the director flawed.
  20. You described the 'single' version which is on the essentials. Funny thing is, I've never heard that version before so all this time, the (radio) stations up here were playing the original (well, whenever I was listening). The original version is like 4:40 and single version close to 3:30 On the same subject but different band ... I've mentioned this a few times before (other sites) that one of the most brutal single edits is on The Knack's "My Sharona." Berton's 1:30 middle (guitar) solo in the original version of "My Sharona" is like ecstasy ... and my favourite solo. The single version cuts most of it out. :guitar:
  21. Right on about "Strange Way." I consider that tune an essential part of the 70's music. I never had the original album (Firefall-Elan) but have the tune on a Time-Life compilation (just so you know where I'm going with this ... I can't stand single edits of songs when they cut the time). On that CD, the song fades during the outro rather quickly and assumed, it was edited (I've recently checked and found that the original is the same length) and therefore, bought the 'Essentials' CD. I've mentioned this before that beware of those 'Essentials' releases for most (if not all) are the 'single' releases. The version of 'Strange Way' on that CD is more than a minute short of the original AND has a different ending which IMO, somewhat ruins the tune. Okay, just a ramblin' again ... :: Ant
  22. There are quite a few films out there with surprise twists and endings, but this one film IMO tops the list ... Michael Douglas and Sean Penn in "The Game."
  23. I love the "Who's Online" feature because ... I look at where the anonymous users are reading and in most cases, an interesting thread from the archives. Sometimes they'll be reading a thread that I've forgotten. I don't know, maybe I'm after brownie points with the admins/mods :: ... nah, I just wanted to make a comment . But curious though, does anyone else do the same? Ant :guitar:
  24. Hey Jimmy - I'm a fanatical fan of 'live' albums!! Here are some favs that I also have listed at another site so here's some copy & paste ... Live - Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush - This was the first album that literally blew me away - guitar wise. Before Eddie and Randy, we had Frank. If You Want Blood, You've Got It - AC/DC - The 'live' versions of "Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be", "Bad Boy Boogie", "Whole Lotta Rosie", & "Let There Be Rock" are better than their studio counterparts. Live! You Get What You Play For - REO Speedwagon - One of my all-time favourite guitar solos is on "(Only A) Summer Love", courtesy of Gary Richrath. Also, Gary's solo on the faster section of "Golden Country" puts goosebumps on my goosebumps. WARNING: The CD release omitted some tunes from the original LP and one in particular is "Gary's Guitar Solo." Captured Live! - Johnny Winter - JW was my first favourite 'Blues' guitarist. Johnny's playing just blows me away, especially on this live release. Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out - The Rolling Stones - "I think I busted a button on my trousers ... hope they don't fall down. You don't want my trousers to fall down, now do ya?" - Mick Jagger Double Live Gonzo - Ted Nugent - "Anyone who wants to get mellow can turn around and get the f*** out of here." - Ted Nugent All The World's A Stage - Rush - I still prefer the version (on this album) of "2112" over the studio. Made in Japan - Deep Purple - "Here's a song which is also from the last album. It tells the story of how we recorded it and what went wrong when we did it. It happened in Switzerland, the song, a thing called Smoke On The Water, this one." - Ian Gillan Live at the Fillmore East 1970 - Ten Years After One More From the Road - Lynyrd Skynyrd Alive! - KISS - "Sorry to have taken so long. It must have been a bitch while I was gone ..." - 100,000 Years Live! Blow Your Face Out - J. Geils Band At Budokan - Cheap Trick Live In Concert - James Gang - The drum solo by Jim Fox on "Lost Woman" is one of the best ever caught on tape. Too bad it's not a long solo. In Concert - Rare Earth Roadwork - Edgar Winter - You gotta love Rick Derringer's guitar work. Also, brother Johnny (Winter) makes an appearance. You Can't Argue With A Sick Mind - Joe Walsh - The best version of "Walk Away" can be found here. The Beatles At The Hollywood Bowl - The Beatles Johnny Winter And ... Live - Johnny Winter At the Rainbow - Focus - Jan Akkerman is a great guitarist. Full House - J. Geils Band - In my youth, I would play "First I Look At the Purse" and "Whammer Jammer" more than the others. Backstage Pass - The Stampeders - "Johnny Lightning" is worth the price of admission. Live Magnetic Air - Max Webster Frampton Comes Alive - Peter Frampton Got Live If You Want It - The Rolling Stones * * * * * Okay, I'm sure I've missed some. Also, I made that list last year so other than the first few, the order has probably changed. :guitar:
