I knew I shouldn't have gotten a Blackberry.

Thank you.

Got a question for all you guitar aficionados. In the latest MMJ ACL, Karl Bromel plays a black guitar during Evil Urges. It kind of looks like a Reverend, but it has an odd shaped letter D on the upper body right about where the pick-up switch would be on a lot of guitars. Anybody got any idea?

When you face actual physical abuse on a daily basis from rednecks who get freaking irate when you turn off Toby Keith to plug in your MP3 player to blare WILCO.

They played HMD in the intro of The Heads up Poker Tournament this weekend.

I still have not pulled the trigger on Live Warpaint. That album has just not worked for me yet. I would like to hear "Torn and Frayed" however. I will probably still pick it up at some point because I always end up getting whatever the Crowes put out.

I really recommend it. Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution has a bit more bite live than on the studio album which really adds to the flavor, and if you like this sort of stuff, Luther gets more liberal in his slide work, which I happen to love.

One Wing is a great song, I am also kind of partial to Country Disappeared (it kind of reminds me of old school REM), and You and I. Bull Black Nova was kind of a disappointment to me. Everybody keeps comparing it to Spiders, but it isn't quite as good. Spiders has the running bass line line and repeating melody, but it kicks in and delivers with the breakdown, which makes it a great song. Bull Black Nova, which has the lyrical edge over Spiders, just doesn't deliver like Spiders does. Maybe I need to listen to it a bunch more time. I didn't get Spiders, until I heard it live, then it became one of my favorite songs.

Pretty please with sugar on top, can somebody send me a link. I have tried in vain for hours to get into the Radiohead forum to get it but I keep getting errors.

Thanks for the album. I downloaded it earlier today and have listened to it twice now and I really am impressed. I especially like Whisper Bee and Morning Dove (the vibrato guitar thing happening in the background about a minute/30 in was a nice touch). Also Bomb Threat Blues is a great song to end an album, sort of an old school sendoff.

Just out of curiosity, will you be playing in Northern Ontario in the near future? I get up to Owen Sound every other month or so for business.

Quantifying who is the "best" is an impossible thing to do considering all of the different styles and peoples opinions and tastes in music.

So for me the "best" would be who I enjoy listening to the most, which in and of itself is a very fluid thing. Yet the ones I tend to enjoy listening to the majority of the time would be (in no particular order):

Marc Ford - Solo he is phenomenal, but watching him live with the Crowes gives me chills at times.

David Gilmour - He just has the touch.

Joe Bonamassa - White boy blues at it's best. The solo in his live version of "If Heartaches were Nickels" is still one of my favorite solo's of all time.

Duane Allman - Changed slide guitar forever

John Frusciante - Everybody says he is just ripping of Hendrix (what guitar player isn't), but he actually has a bluesy quality to his tone.

John Mayer - Say what you want about the pop, arrogant asshole, bullshit, the dude can play guitar.

*Honorable mention to Robert Randolph, Tom Morello, and Slash.

Well, they do have armadillos in their trousers - the girls run screaming.

Then where did the trout come into play?

The Crows have released an official Live version of Wapraint. It will be released April 28th of this very year. It contains the album in full along with a second disc of 6 song that have somecover tunes along with some older Crowes stuff. Here is the track listing:

CD1

01. Goodbye Daughters Of The Revolution

02. Walk Believer Walk

03. Oh Josephine

04. Evergreen

05. Wee Who See The Deep

06. Locust Street

07. Movin

I think I actually had an orgasm reading that.

"The one, the only, us"

I took my oldest to go see Saving Abel, Papa Roach, Buckcherry, and Avenged Sevenfold. It was horrible. First, the only band I wanted to see was Avenged Sevenfold (I like their guitar work) and they didn't even play. The lead singer got food poisoning or some shit. Second they waited to get their entire set put up before they came out and announced it, then they tore theirs down and set up for Buckcherry. It took like an hour and a half between bands. Then Buckcherry came on and were horrible. I mean I got nothing against their music, but the sound was just horrible. It was sad that Papa Roach was the best band out of three that ended up playing.

Other than that

The Cranberries were pretty bad. I went because Grant Lee Buffalo opened. Unfortunately my friends who went wanted to stay for the Cranberries,

and I hate to say it, but Ozzy was nothing to brag about either. It was my first concert and he played decent, but the hour long drum solo got real old, and then out of nowhere they played Mr. Crowley, and that was it. The video for "Mamma I'm Comming Home" came on, and the concert just ended. They didn't even play Crazy Train, which is just sacrilege.

On a side note, my 11 year old daughter begged me to go after we got an extra ticket for the Buckcherry concert, and since I was that age when I went to my first show I figured it would be OK. I was sooooooo wrong. She had a really good time, but the moment that Buckcherry started playing CRAZYBITCH, I realized I had made a horrible mistake. The song is bad enough, but Josh Todd kept going on about how the song was about a woman's ability to control her vajayjay the different places a man could stick his privates and I looked at my daughter and felt like the worst parent on earth. My daughter and I had a big talk after that one.

The first (and so far, only) HD shot concert film I have seen/own is, The Black Crowes: Freak N' Roll. It looks weird the first time you see it - almost 3D, or it looked that way to me, anyhow.

You know I thought the exact same thing. That was the very first thing I watched when I got HD cable and it was great. It kind of threw me off a bit at first, but by the second guitar solo in "Halfway to Everywhere" I didn't even notice it.

On a note more apt to the thread, I preordered Ashes today and I am stoked. I watched the clip of "Monday" that came with it and I really wish it was April 18th already.

The word jealousy doesn't quite sum it up. I have 4 kids and 3 bedrooms, so my "studio" is a corner in my bedroom that has my amp, a GNX4 and my laptop.

Thanks for the thread. I don't frequent Amazon but I will now. There is some interesting stuff I found on there . Just what I need something else to spend money on.

You know, I realize that I am probably in the minority here, but Girl from a Pawnshop might be one of the greatest songs ever recorded. The emotions that song make me feel are like nothing else I have ever experienced listening to music. It still pisses me off the the Crowes never get the respect they deserve.

Wow! I'm stunned. I love that song and Southern Harmony is easily my favorite BC's album

I absolutly love the live versions of My Morning Song, but the album version just doesn't have the same energy as the live ones do.

Ok, whoever thought up this thread should be put on a rack and stretched. This is akin to some fecked up torture. It is hard enough for me to come up with my top favorite bands, because they change on a day to day basis.

5. There's Gold in them Hills

Grant Lee Phillps (Buffalo):

If nothing else, this is a great song.

I didn't notice any difference in the video's but maybe it is just me. On a side note, you are right, great, great song. I think I have a man crush of Marc Ford.

He took a dog-doo snow cone and stuffed it in my right eye

He took a dog-doo snow cone and stuffed it in my other eye

And the husky wee-wee

I mean the doggie wee-wee

Has blinded me

And I cant see

Temporarily
