Honestly. My last entire year was obsessing over starset. But that was spurred on by their live performances being just awesome

Current obsessions: King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Glass Animals, Zach Bryan, chasing the Seattle sound of the 80s into the grunge age e.g. Green River, Mother Love Bone, Mudhoney, Melvins

Past obsessions: Tool, AC/DC, Modest Mouse, The Decemberists, The Felice Brothers, Ween, Les Claypool projects

AN FAQ ABOUT YOUR NEW BIRTH CONTROL: THE MUSIC OF RUSH

If you like Pink Floyd, check out Rishloo and My Morning Jacket. Two pretty different bands, but both have Pink Floyd influence. Rishloo is like PF mixed with Tool, and My Morning Jacket is like if PF was a little Folk-y. Both are great

For classic pop/rock, ELO (Electric Light Orchestra) covers that well

Posties?

The Verve Pipe. They recently released a really great album, Threads. Their back catalogue (along with lead singer Brian Vander Ark's solo albums) is mostly gold.

Oh lol yeah that’s probably what I was searching for

We play every band you mentioned, and have interviewed all too.

Corey Taylor said he was sick and nearly shitting himself while performing in Atlanta last year.

other side here too, I'm a fan of all of them radiohead included but i find i just don't want to listen to them for long periods of time. I do think it's quite telling that no deadheads or phish people have chimed in, as they have already prbly fought (and lost) that battle enough times already LOL. I think my attraction to the Gizzard is the eclectic nature of it keeps my ADD brain satiated, like be a pop or hip hop sounding tune and then all the sudden there's this duane allman riff outta nowhere, then the next song will sound like motorhead or something.

Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin are great one’s

Hendrix, Zeppelin, Living Colour, Aerosmith (1970-1986), Van Halen (1975-1984), Black Sabbath esp the Dio years, have all releases, bootlegs, etc!

On the other side, I have a ton of respect for the Blizzard Twizzard, but haven’t been able to get into it. I give it a whirl here and there, but hasn’t clicked with me yet.

Saw Tool a few years ago and there was a little break between songs. Everyone in the crowd was whooping and applauding, but not super loud. Then my friend barbarically yelled “YEEEAAAAH!!!” This kind of kick started stuff and it seemed like the whole crowd started roaring after that. It started in our section and picked up in other parts of the arena. It was an awesome moment.

AI? Shitty overdubs?

Edit: buy an original CD

I think it peaked in the mid-60s.

Kamelot

didn’t even think of doing that

Grateful Dead Mardi Gras, I think it was 1991 at Oakland.

Bill Graham had just died, and Ken Kesey came up on stage during a long Dark Star jam and told a story about Graham putting up a sign on an Oregon trail where Kesey's son died, that Bill was the crossing guard and babysitter for the Psychedelic Revolution, and then recited this poem from memory. (I was tripping and it hit me like a ton of bricks...)
