Favorite Band/artist

[DiO'Bolic]

So many AC/DC fans!

Here’s a funny video I think AC/DC fans would appreciate, and it’s even got a Stephen King tie-in.

And this one’s just classic. I’ve always been a sucker for those campy 80’s horror flicks.

Right now, my favorite band is the Rolling Stones, especially after getting the lifetime experience of getting to see them live in concert last summer! Aside from them, here's a few others that come to mind (in no particular order) :

All solo Stones (yes, even Charlie's jazz! )
Beatles (and their solo works)
Bruce Springsteen
Adele
The Who
"Weird Al" Yankovic

I saw AC/DC in 1978 (Bon Scott was singer) in Denver for $5.00. It was in a 1500 seat place.

I have several ticket stubs from shows in the late 70s and early 80s and most of the tickets were $10.00 or less.

We used to have to stand outside the record store that sold tickets (on a fancy machine called a computer) and wait for it to open at 10:00 am to buy tickets. That really sucked.

I am truly jealous ... you saw the Great Bon Scott

Yeah, it was great. AC/DC was not very well known then (in the US) so we saw them in a smallish place. I saw them before Highway To Hell was released. Of course, this was back in the day with no youtube or anything so we didn't even know what they looked like other than the album covers that weren't even photographs. When Angus came bouncing out in his school boy uniform, it was quite a shock.

Agreed. And his work with Zappa on "Bongo Fury" holds special memories for me. The track "200 Year Old" has some history with me. The year before the album came out, Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention played at Ag Hall in Allentown, PA, and I was there. Before the concert started, Zappa came out for a sound check and took the time to talk a bit directly to the audience. He was complaining about the lousy day he was having and all the commercial nonsense over the upcoming bicentennial. The day only got worse for him. He stopped the concert several times because of the horrid sound feedback the concert was experiencing. Then about half way through the concert the police rushed the crowd and forcibly hauled off some concertgoers for lighting up their wacky weed. They were sitting directly behind me on the cold concrete floor. I was involved in the melee, and ended up with some bruises inflicted by the police and their batons. Luckily I was not one of the ones hauled off to the hoosgow. Zappa, well know for his anti-authoritarianism, complained about the police actions after the ruckus subsided, and tried to continue the concert, but obviously the day was too much for him and he ended the concert early.


Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of Zappa’s death. One of my alma maters radio station was playing tribute to him all day, and even his testimony before the US Congress. Good stuff!
If anyone is interested in what was considered "head music" back in the day, here is that local university radio station that plays fantastic music most will no longer hear anywhere (streamed). 91.3 FM WLVR (Lehigh University Radio Station)
WLVR-FM - 91.3 FM Bethlehem, PA - Listen Online

Also give Stephen King’s Radio Station 100.3 FM, WKIT a listen to. It plays some great classic Rock’n’Roll streamed.
Maine's Greatest Rock N' Roll Station

　
　

Thank you so much - this is great! I did not know I could stream music from Bangor Maine - right now I am listening to Pink Floyd - okay not any more - there is a new song on. Does he pay for this station to broadcast? This is like getting an early Christmas present!

"the lunatic is on the grahss - it's triple play Thursday (the lunatic is in the hall)
I'm still on the Dark side of the Moon
I love this song

 

[Angelo Bottigliero]

right now I am listening to Pink Floyd -

Be home alone.
Turn off all your lights (You can keep some candles).
Turn up your sound system.
Play 'Dogs of War'.
???.
Profit


Also, about streaming, does anybody else use Aupeo (Online radio | Listen to free music at AUPEO!)? It's great, and free too! I listen to it all the time when I'm at work. It's already good but when you register (free) you can really start to put in your likes and dislikes and it 'learns' your musical taste.

Here is the song btw:

I am also jealous. I saw AC/DC on their tour for Fly On the Wall, too late for the great Bon Scott. *insert green face here*

LIVE

I also like Live, some of the albums, my favorite is V. But trying to find anything from them, or this album on Youtube, was very difficult. Search words "Live, V". The search result did not give me what I was looking for!

I've had the same issue, Lisey..... enter the word 'Live' on Youtube and every live performance known to mankind comes up. And it's not like you can add the slash above the "I" like the band does.

Throwing Copper and V are my favorites!

 

[VampireLily]

Forgive me Jeff Buckley, as i have forsaken you....

i LOVE Jeff Buckley... accidentally left him off my original list~

Haha, exactly!
Listening to V now, Simple Creed and Transmit My Love being my favorites. I actually haven't heard Throwing Copper, it has been a while since I listened to them. Time to check it out now, I guess!

 

[addieprey]

Has anyone heard the band Hell's Belles? They are a all female AC/DC tribute band (from Seattle), and they kick ass!

I saw them live a couple times and was blown away (having had the pleasure of seeing the boys themselves in action a few times) at how hot they were.

They have a CD called "We Salute You" and I play it whenever I need a little boost.

Check 'em out!

 

[Lisey Landon]

Never heard them. But all female - that sounds great!
I am not big on tribute bands, but I might check them out, just because they are girrrrls

<----------- Do I need to comment?

 

[DiO'Bolic]

I got to see Fanny (the first all-female rock act to record an entire album for a major record label) in concert when they were promoting their second album - "Fanny Hill." God, those chicks could rock!

Your post jarred my memory. Not only did I see AC/DC with Bon Scott but I also saw the original Pretender lineup shortly after the 2nd album was released.

Early Pretenders were the best! They were a tight band. Too bad we lost two of the original members to drug overdoses. They were definately a 'raw' band when they started out.
