Curt McGirt Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Aw man. I just found out that guitarist Bill Tsamis from Warlord died the other day. This is one of the best pieces of US power metal ever, an easy top five, maybe even top three: RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Roger Hawkins, drummer for the legendary studio musicians The Swampers passed away at age 75. He played with literally everyone, drummed on all of Aretha's big hits, and created the drum beat to Land of 1000 Dances. Truly a legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will post the Nike commercial with Charles Barkley and Shock G / Humpty Hump when I am on a computer not censored by the Department of the Army.

Curt McGirt Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 My dad told me Dusty Hill died and I said "who?" I am an idiot. RIP (same to Mike Howe; the Metal Church S/T is a stone classic. And that is waaaaaay too young for Jordison.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 (edited) I must add that I own multiple ZZ Top records and even watched their documentary. And there are only three of them. I repeat... EDIT: JEEZUS! I forgot that it was David Wayne on the S/T... and that I used Blessing in Disguise as a frisbee because I was a dumb kid. I REPEAT...

Travis Sheldon Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 (edited) Rockpalast posted the entire set for ZZ Top from 1980 on their YouTube channel (WDR Rockpalast). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH4hCeJrs44&ab_channel=WDRRockpalast I highly recommend it if you like 70s ZZ Top. Spoiler They play Tube Snake Boogie as an encore. That song didn't hit the streets until a year later. Really good show.

I was listening to this the other day (AKA Bootlegs = Goodlegs). I'd forgotten what a tight, mean sound they had in their late 70s heyday, before the Eliminator era synths and other audio trickery came to the fore... especially on deeper cuts like "Precious and Grace," "Nasty Dogs and Funky Kings" and "El Diablo." This is a fantastic performance and one of the better live concerts you're going to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
