I'M STARTING A NEW "WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO?" THREAD

[EK WAFFLR]

Arc of space is just fucking beautiful. Those two songs were a great close to accident of birth.

Yep, those two and Jerusalem are my absolute favorites.

Whoaaaaaaaaah the magician is my name ohhhhhhhhhh and magic is my game!

ARGH! 

[Nephew Twiddleton]

The magicians an awesome song with really stupid lyrics. Its fun as hell to listen to.

Jerusalem is great as is chemical wedding/alchemist

And i think shit what was it... I think it was innerspace or headswitch off of skunkworks.

And sacred cowboys is just the tits. Hearing a middle aged english metal singer rapping makes the song that much more entertaining.

Those songs are awesome. I also thoroughly love tears of the dragon.

might I kindly suggest that if you're going to post a youtube link ITT people post at least some context to go with it? I don't mean Waffe's post, but on the previous pages there were a few posts that were just a youtube link and nothing else ... sharing is cool but nobody is going to click a naked youtube link with no context at all--or are they? I wouldn't, but maybe I'm weird (And not because I don't trust the link but simply for having no idea whether it'll be worth my time).
Just a small suggestion, though if you're really into the minimalist solipsist idea of simply posting "what you're listening to", regardless of other people clicking, that's cool too, feel free to ignore this post then (I'm just a pretend voice in your head anyway).

ANYWAY BACK ON TOPIC

What I was listening to: http://soundcloud.com/djmisha-2/techdrug-vol-1-by-misha

Is a mixtape someone gave me after discussing, well, mixing of electronic music. The genre is "Tech House", which may or may not mean anything to you--didn't to me but it's a lot like the that chill-out "deep house", except a tiny littlebit harder/faster/more upbeat or something. It's the kind you music you expect to hear, that is required (if you're doin it right), coming out of relatively tiny but high quality and strategically placed out-door speakers at some docks/beach or rooftop lounge bar, in the sun, with a very cold bright wheat beer, and you're chilling the fuck out. Or some of that ice water from a decanter they put a few mint leaves in.

There's a game show where Bruce Dickinson sings a song for money based off of a wheel? 

Also, he looks more ridiculous in that get up and with that hairdo than he ever has. And that's saying something since the man has probably some of the worst fashion sense on the planet. I love it!

[AFK]

We need that game show here, and I nominate Geoff Tate given he was just kicked out of Queensryche.

Seriously.

And, seriously?

:wikipedia:

Well then.

[EK WAFFLR]

I predict a huge fight between Tate and thre 'rÿche. Mostly through Metal Hammer.

In my opinion, it's just as well. The last time I saw Geoff Tate live he sang utterly, horribly bad.

[AFK]

Tate has already publicly stated there will be a lawsuit over the name.  As far as he is concerned HE is Queensryche.  Which, since DeGarmo left, is probably more or less true.  They've been a shell of themselves since the early Nineties anyway.

Edit: Also every Disney song in the book.

Didn't DeGarmo form the band? Who owns the trademark? I imagine that this is probably an easily solved legal conundrum.

It seems to me though as if Steve Harris left Maiden, then they gave Bruce the boot and Bruce wanted to call his solo project Iron Maiden, to make an analogy.

Or this will end up like it has with other bands.  Like currently there are TWO L.A. Guns.  The one with Tracii Guns and the onw with Phil Lewis.  For a time I think there were two Ratts.  One with Pearcy and one with whoever the fuck the other guys are.  So maybe we end up seeing Queensryche, and Geoff Tate's Queensryche. 


The problem is, as distinct a vocalist as Tate is, the Ryche were also identifiable by their guitar sound, so both bands are going to end up sounding wrong.

True.

Also, don't forget Saxon. They deserve honorable mention in any context anyway.

Oh, oh, and also the solo careers of David Gilmour and Roger Waters.
