"Share some good music" Friday

[joergkutter]

Just because And maybe you’ve never seen Jimmy Johnson on his 5-string Alembic (check out the string spacing )

"Carry On" - Gary Husband & Jimmy Johnson with Steve Hunt

@T_dub

Yeah, funny.
He has said he wishes he never did that first album. I think he was saying the studio and record label really changed what they were trying to do.

Good thing he did because I like it.

@howard

The funny thing about With Sympathy is it’s actually a fantastic synthpop album

And the singles that came out around the time between it and Twitch were some of Ministry’s best work, especially Nature of Love.

Very different from their metal phase though. And better IMO.

Yeah, it’s great dark synth pop and I like everything up to and including the Filth Pig. After that they lost their original sound and started to sound like most generic industrial metal bands of the era.

I have not tried to learn really any Pantera, cuz Dime is / was my favorite guitar player of all time, and I have a hard time hearing anything but him.
I would love to learn some tho eventually.

I feel Rex Brown should have some love too. He really complimented Dim’s guitar solos with solid basslines and this is exactly what bass is all about, right? Sorry to see Phil like that, he used to be so energetic on stage…

That Ministry video was a real surprise lol. Sounds a bit like Duran Duran

No offense to Duran Duran, but if I’d heard this before I got into their later stuff, I probably wouldn’t have ever given Ministry a chance. Nothing wrong with it, and it was absolutely 1981 in that video, but it’s SO different.

Not to necro, but @terb has a comment from years back about Mastodon’s Leviathan album. If I’d heard Remission, the album that came just before that first, I would have nope’d out of being a fan of the band, possibly. Then, an album after that, they’re even more different and make songs like this (and I can’t get enough):

Siberian Divide

Offended, so here have some Duran Duran

Duran Duran - Hungry like the Wolf (Official Music Video)

Oh shit, what have I done? I am more into this, tho:

I always wanted to tour with a Duran Duran cover band and play that song, specifically. I even had a name for the band - Duran Duran Duran

[Mac]

From the depths of time (1980 to be exact) when life was oh so simple lol

I like everything from “Land of Rape and Honey” and “In Case you didn’t feel like showing up Live” to Filth Pig, but I think even Filth Pig showed a change, so the last truly GREAT album was “Psalm 69, the was to succeed and the way to suck eggs”. Maybe “The Dark Side of the Spoon” too. But my too favorite’s that I could not live without is “The mind is a terrible thing to taste” and “Psalm 69”

@Paul

Absolutely, and I love Rex, I am just saying that I have a hard time not focusing on Dime’s guitar when listening, because he was just such an exciting player, who had such a big and lasting contribution to metal guitar.
Again, I love Rex, and would have loved to see him playin with Phil and the Illegals instead of the other player, and I will be sure to learn some of my favorite Pantera songs at some point, but I am not trying to keep up with a bunch of speed metal at this point in my playing anyway.
Some I do, but mostly ones that have great tutorial video’s like Josh’s Hysteria video, and Mark’s “Raining Blood” and “Battery” tutorial video’s, along with his newest Dave Ellefson “Peace Sells” video.

Peter Paul and Mary did a killer cover of this on their Lifelines album.

Yeah, I just used Peter Paul and Mary and ‘killer’ in the same sentence.

One of my fav
Before he got to famous

[Krescht]

Good things are coming

AMENRA - De Evenmens (Official Music Video)

[howard]

They moved to Relapse? I thought they were on Deathwish?

And is that Caro Tanghe I hear in there? Sure sounds like her and she’s in with them.

Oathbreaker’s latest stuff is taking a different direction (that I like and that blackmetal fans hate).

Very solid

@howard

Yes, that’s her

There’re three Japanese artists I would love to see live (Wagakki band, Babymetal and Wednesday Campanella if someone is interested in the rest.) and this is one of them. (Bunch of Japanese masters/professors of musical arts does their thing.)

… just wait for the Shamisen solo.

[howard]

Ooh very nice, and yeah, very Russian Circles
