Keep an eye on this site: they will often stream interesting CD's in full prior to release.

thats a link to the new Willie Nelson CD.

There is a new Black KEys record also, called "Brothers" The black keys were a GREAT live show.

Yeah well, Probot. Dunno. The likes of Sepultura and co. are not to everyone's taste either. Certainly not mine. Don't really like Dave Grohl either. To me, he's one of the "new folk" too. But then, so's just about everyone after Led Zep. At least as far as Anglophone rock goes. Sadly there's an awful lot of awesome music most people here will never get to listen to, or appreciate, just because it's not in English.

I haven't listened to it, but i HAVE got 'Slash's Snakepit' album called 'it's 5 o clock somewhere' i think. That is good stuff.

crikey... Adam Levine and Andrew Stockdale referred to as "has-beens" and Dave Grohl put in the "new folk" bucket all on the same thread

At least I had the courtesy to say that that's where he belongs for me.

slash is so over rated, hes a good guitarist sure, but hes not great. axl made gnr what it was, not slash (but he certainly helped a lot)

Ha, Axl destroyed GnR. Sure his distinctive voice and intense stage presence put GnR on the map, his ego and 'issues' killed the band. Slash, Duff, and Izzy wrote a lot of the tracks so deserve a lot more credit than they get.

Or even Iommi,which follows the same guest-vocalist format.

http://www.amazon.com/Iommi-Tony/dp/...t_mus_ep_dpt_3

1. Laughing Man (In the Devil Mask) - Tony Iommi, Henry Rollins

2. Meat - Tony Iommi, Skin

3. Goodbye Lament - Dave Grohl, Tony Iommi

4. Time Is Mine - Phil Anselmo, Tony Iommi

5. Patterns - Tony Iommi, Serj Tankian

6. Black Obivion - Billy Corgan, Tony Iommi

7. Flame On - Ian Astbury, Tony Iommi

8. Just Say No to Love - Tony Iommi, Pete Steele

9. Who's Fooling Who - Tony Iommi, Ozzy Osbourne

10. Into the Night - Billy Idol, Tony Iommi

This KILLS

Guns and Roses was simply the sum of its parts, and as each part was replaced the force sapped out of them. Axl could never have done it without the band that they were back in the day.

The solo Axl album is a showcase for everything that is wrong in corporate American music. Its almost as bad as the commercial pap that Ozzy releases every 3 years.

Slash is very over-rated, But he is a guitar icon for the masses,and they could have done worse.

Dave Grohl one of the "new folk": thats awesome: Nirvana broke big in 1991, and he had been playing professionally for some years prior to that. but I guess if 25 years or so meets your definition of "new" then OK.

I do take your point about "not in english" in that one of my favourite "new"* bands is Rammstein, and they only have a couple of English songs. Doesnt matter. (also one in Spanish).

You're not one of those people that thought music stopped in some given arbitrary year are you? Like "Pop music has been shit since 1971 when the Beatles broke up" or "Music has been shit since 1978 when the Pistols broke up", or " Its all been crap since John Bonham died" or "Since Bon Scott died, its all been shite". I'm not interested in a flame war, just curious.

I used to have an opinion that all music other than punk rock was crap, and a very narrow definition of what "Real" punk rock was. Then I grew some ears. (ears in this context meaning "being prepared to listen to something to see if I like it and if i do, listen to more of it: the first "other" genre I liked was ska, others followed)

*in the Dave Grohl sense

I was out in the garage the other night cleaning the bike and knocking back a few beers in the process - later on I went down the garden and had a slash against the back fence.

You compare the greatest living guitar legend performing with one of the all time greatest metal vocalists with Creed?

Fuck me.

The best I can say is its not for everyone, So perhaps its not for you.

I'll give it another try but it didn't impress. Good thing music is a matter of individual taste...

I like Iommi but not that track.
