Oil City Confidential is a great documentary on Dr Feelgood
-
well I call this old, but im enjoying the whole album again right now, I think this is best track
-
Not what I'm listening to as such, but if you are a big fan of the Foo Fighters, then this is a really interesting read about Taylor.
Inside Taylor Hawkins’ Final Days as a Foo Fighter
For 24 years, Taylor went all-out for Foo Fighters. Before he died, Hawkins told multiple friends he “couldn’t fucking do it anymore.”
-
was trawling through for some depeche mode and forgot about this mash up
-
@MajorRage a few people quoted in that article have already backed away from their statements. Which is interesting.

Drumming in hard rock groups is a fucken tough gig and only gets harder the older you get.
There’s a reason Bill Ward didn’t tour with Sabbath during their reunion. At 70 odd he simply wasn’t up to it. Sounds like Hawkins knew his time was up. Really sad.

I get a lot of mileage out of the compilation cd Iron Leg, pulled together as a labour of love by DJ Shadow after he discovered them 40 years after the fact and became obsessed tracking down every song they ever recorded. There’s not a weak track on the collection. Mostly instrumental soul/r&b/funk, somewhere between James Brown’s Band and Booker T & the MGs, with occasional Hendrixian wah-wah pedal.

I loaned that documentary to several friends who believed they were watching a mockumentary like Spinal Tap, they’d never heard of them and swore they couldn’t believe they were a real band. It is one of the best rock docs out there.

@MN5 would like to see him in concert. Like some of his James Gang stuff including The Bomber:, Woman and Funk 49. The confessor is awesome as well post James Gang.
We will part ways of the Eagles.
‘The smoker you drink the player you get’ is just a fantastic album too.

@MN5 Yep. His voice is unique but you don't have to have a church choir voice to connect with your audience like your favorite Mark Knopfler or Johnny Cash. Pretty Maids all in a row is a good example of the effectiveness of his voice.
I don’t know if this is a compliment or not.
Anyway here’s another album to listen to….a great soundtrack to how I’d imagine life was in the 70s
