In my opinion this video is the best version of this song by any artist (even far better than Disturbed's studio version).

Saw them at a Knotfest early this year, would love to get that part of the festival back. OG version all the way for me. I wasn't commenting on anything else by them, there is nothing wrong with musicians only having 1 or a couple good pieces. I do like a few of their songs, but yes, this is their best. There aren't a lot of remakes of excellent classic songs that improve on the original (Hendrix "All Along The Watchtower" is another one I can think of), but this is one them in my opinion.

Jimi did the best version of All Along the Watchtower. Plus he did it while holding a guitar upside down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boilermaker75 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 @Parsad You mentioned some of my favorite musicians that I listen to all the time, The Who, Led Zeppelin, and The Doors. Plus, throw in Neil Young, my absolute favorite. Ray and Dave Davies fought even more than Liam and Noel Gallagher! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thowed Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Neil Young is a musical hero - the amount of stuff he's done! I like to imagine he'd have got on with Charlie Munger - both free-thinking & occasional curmudgeons! Have been recently listening again to one of my favourite grunge-era bands, The Jesus Lizard. Incredible live act in their day. One of their best songs was called Boilermaker, though it was years more before I discovered what it meant (not a thing in the UK!) cc. @boilermaker75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to check it out. The Jam in the band's name Pearl Jam came from them attending a Neil Young with Crazy Horse concert and watching them jam on stage.

Neil Young is in a whole different category...like Dylan, Leonard Cohen or Hendrix...timeless and one of a kind! And three of those four had a Canadian connection or were born here...Young, Cohen and Hendrix! And Dylan was born in Duluth, which is essentially frigid Canada! Cheers!

Eddie is best buds with Young now. Everyone else from the Grunge era is dead or irrelevant...other than Dave Grohl...and his music is just a shadow of what they created together at Nirvana! I still think Vitalogy and Nirvana's Nevermind are the best albums to come out of that era! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the writing good? Yes! Are some of the songs good? Definitely. But the cult brain dead following that both Zach Bryan & TC have amassed in recent times is beyond my comprehension.

DooDiligence Posted Thursday at 06:18 AM Share Posted Thursday at 06:18 AM (edited) Jazzy Mac Miller is like the Bob Dylan of rap. I couldn't listen to the original recording(s) but damn, he killed those microtonal vocals live.

Cool, and nice reply. In hindsight my reply was saltier than intended. Probably a little protective of S&G as it was a big part of my musical discovery (exploring Dad’s album collection). Jeff Buckley’s version of Hallelujah is another case in point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw two great at the Outlaw concert in Charlotte - Bob Dylan and Robert Palmer. I like Bob Dylan as a songwriter but he is not the best live performer, imo. He sort of does his thing and mostly ignores the crowd. Amazing that he is already 83!. On of the best performers was the opener - Celisse loves you. Quite a stage presence - a huge women with a huge voice and a mean guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boilermaker75 Posted Saturday at 02:09 AM Share Posted Saturday at 02:09 AM @Spekulatius I too saw Dylan and actually left before the concert was over. He sometimes seemed to glare at the audience. Like I'll do what I want to do and not what you want to hear. I prefer listening to the other Dylan, Jakob. Or others covering Dylan songs like Hendrix or Guns N'Roses.

Another one is Eric Clapton’s I shot the Sheriff. Not that the Bob Marley version isn’t good, but Clapton improved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwoodman Posted Saturday at 05:50 AM Share Posted Saturday at 05:50 AM Shellac’s new album,’To All Trains’ that was released 10 days after Steve Albini passed away. Was a big fan of Big Black in the day, and Steve’s vocals still hold up today, raw and intense as ever. RIP. https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/shellac-to-all-trains/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friedman was wearing big furry chaps and a huge assed hat. He passed a week ago. RIP Kinky. You will be truly missed.
