The Natural Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Surprised to discover Iron Maiden aren't already in. I don't often listen to music hence scarce appearances in this part of the board. Really like Kate Bush and Foo Fighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Well the Dolls are a lock at least. Watch them go in between Jay-Z and freakin Carole King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is absolutely ridiculous and I absolutely consider it a less serious institution than Meltzer's little wrestling one. Just literally any musicians they decide they like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) It's the Rolling Stone Hall of Fame. They just never had the cojones to call it what it is. You know what, that considered, how many people do they tend to put in each year? Five? Well there's five people listed in that Tweet and that'll probably be the five that'll go in. I can see them dumping Maiden for the Dolls though because 1. Sylvain died and 2. They probably still hate Maiden.

Death From Above Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 That reminds me of a Bruce Dickinson quip I heard in an interview a few years ago that went something like "You know you're old when Rolling Stone magazine says you're good". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) There's been a Rolling Stone documentary series by Alex Gibney running on AXSTV the past couple weeks; it just wrapped up its sixth part. The hypocrisy is pretty glaring, especially seeing the '80s "we're hip now" self-ads in the magazine showing hippie stuff and yuppie stuff as a before-and-after, like they've moved into the future in a positive way or some shit. That's not to say they haven't done great reporting (and some incredibly flawed reporting which they talk about as well), but still.

Dolfan in NYC Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Daft Punk have broken up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 4 hours ago, Dolfan in NYC said: Daft Punk have broken up. As you can likely tell from the avatar this bums me out quite a bit. I did read speculation that while Daft Punk will be no more they may do stuff either under different names/gimmicks or just go as themselves. But honestly if they're still doing music in some way then I'm up for whatever they do. Now if it truly is the end and they're completely done then I'll be incredibly sad. My wife got super huge into them and our first years together was going through their discography as much as humanly possible. But in a weird twist "Random Access Memories" was definitely one I liked more than she did (she prefers the older stuff) It was musically their best album that had a more complete mix of their sound along with different genres. So at this point any speculation I can cling onto is wishful thinking on my part but considering how successful and influential they've been for so long if they do decide to retire then that's great for them. All I know is either way we'll be playing some of their stuff tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I'm super bummed I never got to see Daft Punk in person. I really thought for a few years there in the late 2000s/early 2010s that they'd get booked for Bonnaroo, but it just never happened. Random Access Memories is my favorite, too. Instant Crush is really, really good. I could see them doing the score for Tron 3 together, if that ever happens - maybe not under the Daft Punk name this time, though. That soundtrack is still amazing, even though the movie kind of sucks. They definitely have a future in film scoring if they want that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I love The Mars Volta, like, A LOT. But I don't know if I'm going to spend $500 after taxes and shit on a vinyl boxset of their albums. The only thing that's of interest to me, really, is the demo album version of De-Loused. I've heard everything else that are on all of these albums (well, I guess I haven't heard the unreleased versions of Eunuch Provacteur and A Plauge Upon Your Hissing Children, but I don't like those songs - or anything from Tremulant). Might try to find someone on eBay selling just Landscape Tantrums or something. But anyway it's already sold out online but it's in stock on Amazon. The visual presentation of the box set is pretty wild, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shartnado Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 So, apparently they have started making some sort of pop music in Korea. I wonder if that could like ever catch on, like anywhere? I just don't know what they could call it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If J-Pop wasn't already a thing, this could be huge! What I had in mind was "Whoosh!" ...I've been mulling over if I should even continue and explain the joke, but yeah, even I am aware that K-Pop is pretty much the most popular music genre going, with most devoted fans from around the globe, including John Cena, apparently. I was just messing around, while listening to Grimes. Actually, I'm not positive if I have ever heard a legit K-Pop song, although I'm aware of Psy as far as Korean artists go.

Casey Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Goddamn Warner Brothers holding the rights to the music of My Bloody Valentine means I can't get their vinyl reissues from Domino (non-US residents can, however). Not gonna lie, I can leave the vinyls, but I really wanted that 2CD version of their EPs that Domino is selling. Damnit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you can buy anything on there. eBay and discogs are my first stops when those suckers ship out. The same goes for the Mars Volta box set, too (mainly just for the Deloused demos). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 (edited) Postponed Deftones / Gojira / Poppy tour has new dates. Closest they will come to the RVA is the Anthem in DC. Date is August 29th. I will try my best to be there since I am not West Coast and probably will never make Dia de los Deftones. Edited April 3, 2021 by J.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Deftones being at Bonnaroo this year is really tempting, since I'm only about 30 minutes away from the festival grounds. Ticket prices are insanely high compared to what I used to pay in the past, though. And TOOL and Miley Cyrus being off the bill really makes me sad, too.
