Foo Fighters new album is out. Actually pretty good. Their bassist goes more out on a limb than he typically has in the past, and a few of the songs feel like they could be right alongside a Foo Fighters greatest hits album and you wouldn’t notice.

Very smooth Playing Joerg @joergkutter,
His fingers get a good workout, nice to see all the other band members watching the Bass player keep it all together 
Cheers Brian

Great band. I have read that Ogawa only played a jazz (as in jazz music) bass until Unlucky Morpheus. Don’t know if that’s true or not, lot of myth out there. But solid band.

Yeah, all of them super good! Fumiya especially is an amazing drummer.
Fuki’s side projects are great too. Doll$boxx is her plus Gacharic Spin, speaking of excellent musicians.

You might be interested in this clip. GachaSpin covering Judas Priest along with full Kami band. Fuki went to school with Ohmura and every year on his birthday they jam together. I think this clip is loaded because this is Mikio’s final performance before his tragic accident and he passed.
It is a fun clip and Boh is da man.

Hahaha awesome. Gacharic Spin in metal mode is amazing. Love Metallic Spin.
That’s a band where it’s even harder to pick a best musician. Obviously F-Chopper is amazing, but Hana and Tomo are fantastic too. Tomo-zo rocks out in that one, Hana rocking the vocals too
Koga just bopping back there with Boh. Killer.

After my visit to the hospital yesterday and finding out that I suffered a stroke when I got hit by the car and not just a simple bleed on the brain I have an excuse… for everything

It is quite amazing to see such a young player jam confidently with the Yellowjackets veterans - I might need a new pair of underpants in a similar situation

Always liked that little lead at 2:20. Might learn it one day.
RIP Shannon Hoon.

I just started watching this YouTube channel, the True Stories In Rock n Roll, and he did a bit on Blind Melon and how they got together, and were pretty much a success before they did anything. Wild and somewhat sad but normal rock n roll ending for the band.
I had totally forgot who theywere when I clicked on the video, it had been so long since I had heard this song. So long if you played the song, I would have said “Who is this”, and if you said Blind Melon, I would have gong, Who, er…I um…Kind of remember them.
Then that unforgettable album cover with the bumble bee costume, to which I would have said, oh yeah, I remember that album, un…who was it. Blind Melon, oh yeah, uh, what songs did they do again??
Not that they were not good and did not make some good music and songs, I just had not heard or thought of them in so long, like at least 20 years that I know of. I am sure to have heard the song play in the background in movies, bars, restaurants, theaters, dr. offices, gas stations, peoples cars, etc… I just never really responded to it.
Good song tho, for sure.

Yeah, I watch True Rock And Roll Stories on Youtube too. Great series.
Blind Melon was great. I know the Golden Age of rock was in the 60’s-70’s; but the 80’s-90’s were no joke.
I mean I grew up on groups like GNR, Nirvana, Oasis, Metallica, etc., but there were a lot of lesser knowns like Marcy’s Playground, Monster Magnet, Suzanne Vega, etc. Very diverse and fun.
I don’t know what happened in the late 2000’s, but all of the music started to sound the same. There were still good groups like Black Keys and Explosions In The Sky, but it had a different feel.
…Maybe it was just me getting older. I swore as a young guy that I wouldn’t be one of those crotchedy old men that puts young peoples stuff down, but I’m rapidly turning into one

I think it’s more that it just moved to different places. There’s more good guitar music being made now than there ever has been in history - it’s just that there’s so many places to get it it seems more diluted.
In the mid to late 2000s there was still a lot of great indie made that was still relatively mainstream. Things like Bloc Party come to mind.
No one else really sounded like that.
Stadium rock was still cranking out great stuff then too. Muse kind of hit their peak then, IMO.

And yeah, as you mention, bands like Explosions in the Sky. All the amazing post-rock and post-metal as just two example genres. It’s kind of everywhere and a lot of it is truly amazing. I listen to it every day.

And then there’s the much heavier, and in my opinion more interesting stuff that is coming from metal, a cross section of blackmetal, death metal, shoegaze, and other melodic stuff that oh so definitely doesn’t sound like anything else

I need to walk it back a little bit; yeah, there’s some great post-2000 music.

Maybe you’re right; maybe it’s just moved on to different places. No matter what, no matter how old I get, I’ll always try to keep open-minded about new music.
(By the way, ATB’s “Ecstasy” sounds different when you’re driving 140 mph. Or so I’ve heard. )

Yeah, I think that what we are seeing is that there’s a ton of really great indie labels now spread across the internet, whereas in the ‘90s it was concentrated a little more on a few really great indie labels that sold physical discs.
