Re: David Gilmour(Pink Floyd) new album or tour?
Gilmour is a great live act - his voice and guitar playing remain amazing - but the eight or nine date North American tours are kind of inconvenient if you don't live in LA, NY, Chicago or Toronto.

Re: Realistically, how much longer does GN'R have? OR ANY OF THESE BANDS??
Rolling Stones ticket sales have pretty much stalled out completely. So many fans from the fan communities have died the past few years. They have finally outlived their fan base. Might be the best chance for last minute bargains since they were doing 100 show stadium tours. I love the Stones, but ...

Re: Best Debut EP
Chronic Town by R.E.M. and Come On Pilgrim by the Pixies top my list.
Volume One by the Honeydrippers was also good, but more of a one-off, side project than a true debut.
I liked DLR's Crazy From the Heat when it came out. Now, not so much, but it was a big hit.

Two club shows within a month of one another in '97: Foo Fighters and Green Day. I was 25, but most fans seemed to be at least five years younger. For both, I was at the front for the first six or seven songs, but moved back a few rows where it wasn't quite as crowded. I few years earlier, I would h...

Re: Priest tour 2024 Panic Attack : worst Halford has ever sounded
It is the first show of the tour and he's in his 70s. His voice sounds good. Don't know if he's singing along with any pre-recorded tracks - doesn't sound like it to me from that clip - but there's obviously vocal effects that allow his voice to be sustained longer or provide some echo, etc. That's ...

Re: Do you appreciate Nickleback more in 2024
I'm not a big fan - they have a handful of decent songs, a couple of which probably qualify as classics - but almost everybody I know who has seen them live says they deliver a really good show. Loud, fun, lots of pyro, plenty of beer drinking, lots of crowd singing, etc.

I like most of what he did with the Waterboys and World Party. "Way Down Now", from World Party's first album is a great song. Wallinger didn't play on it, but he co-wrote the excellent "World Party" from the Waterboys album, "Fisherman's Blues".

Re: ROCK on the Spectrum
Gary Numan claims he was diagnosed as being on the spectrum. Some have speculated that Alan Wilson of Canned Heat could have been too.
Having said that, most of us here are probably not qualified to determine who may or may not be on the spectrum.

That's Peter Gabriel solo, not Genesis. He left in '75, I think. I think it was the only old Genesis song he did on the Scratch tour. The vocals are great, I agree. Always wished that he added a Genesis song or two to his live shows later on in his career. Guess his solo catalog was strong enough wi...
