    Was looking for free music for some YouTube clips, and came across a bunch of rock stuff by a guy called Ethan Meixsell.

    Solid and awesome shredding. Most of his shit is available for free via YouTube, but give the guy a credit if you ever use it somewhere.

    So who went to any of the GNR concerts in Auckland or Sydney? Were they any good? Reviews seem to suggest good, but Axl can't sing.

    Nah, I reckon Axl still has most of his pipes! It was epic at Western Springs.

    Wicked crowd too. All similar age and only two people I saw hiffed out and they would have been under 30. (One of them talking about his rights on the way out the door... Gold!)

    Slash holds court and Duff is amazing up front.

    Comeplteley worth it and we shelled out for this concert.

    I've never been into Journey, but I like the chorus of this song.

    Steve Perry is an odd looking fellow.

    @Tim Fun journey fact .... when I moved to HK 12 years ago, I used to frequent a live music club called the cavern. Anyway they had an in-house live band, usual story, bunch of talented guys from the Philippines would get up there and play 6 days a week, often in front of 5 people, sometimes with the place sold out.

    The lead singer of that house band, is now the lead singer of Journey.

    @MajorRage There is a doco called "Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey" which is about Arnel Pineda's journey (pun intended) from you tube singer to the lead singer of the band. The doco highlights his background in the Philippines and shows footage of some of his earlier bands.

    He sounds very similar to Steve Perry and was really good live when I saw them a few years back.

    The band's songs can be a bit dodgy, and the sound is decidedly uncool, but fuck me Steve Perry can sing.

    Had downloaded Muse's "Drones" album a while back, and finally got around to listening to it.

    Preferred method is to have it on in the car on loop so I can assimilate the core of the album through repetition. So far, so good. Liking "Revolt" and the track "Aftermath" starts out like U2's "One" before pivoting into another style I can't quite put my finger on.

    Will report back after the next five or six full listening sessions.

    @NTA You haven't been introduced to his repeated, loud intakes of breath? Once heard you can't go back...

    Oh Sherrie! There are some people who are really obsessed with that song. The Yacht Rock guys did a one hour podcast on it:

    A little difficult while driving. But something like that

    Yes. Already dealt with, due to my being a grownup 🙂

    MN5 may be a piston wristed gibbon who massively over rates the Chilli Peppers but really BSSM is a fucking brilliant 90s alt rock album.

    Na I give them their fair dues. Some absolutely outstanding albums prior to 1999 and, the odd great song aside, absolute shit since. Saw em in 92 and 96 but having seen their recent setlists wouldn't bother now.

    BSSM is one of those albums where you never skip a song though. It really is superb.

    `@Tim killer chorus is right

    cheesy as hell but played LOUD on the stereo, once the guy starts singing you tend to stop whatever it is you're doing...

    Probably the best description of Perry I've ever read.

    Incredible vocalist.

    Apparently Queen and Bowie did two songs together when they recorded Under pressure but Bowie wasn't happy with this one. Its very different to other Queen songs.

    @jegga This version is different to the song that appeared on the album "Hot Space" but that album was heavily influenced by disco and pop. Not a fan favourite.

    right now i am listening to Gatecrasher: Global Sound System. Fucking awesome. The 2nd disk is probably my favourite trance album ever.

    Office door closed, banging it out. So many good memories.

    Wish i knew where my copy of this went

    Next in our series on somewhat daggy characters who can sing the lights out is one Kenny Loggins. Keeping it jazzy even when he's rockin'.
