That was like twilight zone or something. I thought it was a cover band for a few seconds, I only recognise Bruce Dickinson as an Iron Maiden lead singer. No one else can do the songs properly. |
We'll have to agree to disagree there Stui. Doing the songs properly or differently? Should Brian Johnson be banned from singing any pre 1980 ACDC songs ? Nah, he just has his own style !!
I personally love early Iron Maiden. Much more raw, energetic, youthful and hungry than the Bruce era, apart from NOTB I suppose. Funnily enough they don't do many songs from the first two LPs - Iron Maiden & Running Free most commonly, especially outside of the UK.
Bruce cold never sing Remember Tomorrow or Killers as good as Paul though.
You also made me have a giggle, inadvertently. Here's Iron maiden doing a song called Twilight Zone:

Cheers to thee Stui, you do have great taste in music

Band practice? That's disturbing alright _________________ You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either! |

Watch the first 1 minute and 38 seconds of this video (the rest is just homework).
Tell me you don't wish you wrote the guitar part to this magical song. Go on. I dare you. |

Not a big music person don't even own a single album these days but I don't mind getting on youtube and reliving music I grew up with or when I discover a new artist/song I like.
I'm late to the party but the singer songwriter Sia is just a breath taking vocalist and one talented artist.
Between her powerful vocals and the film clip featuring a very talented young dancer I've found myself mesmerised by the song Chandelier.
It's not a word usually associated with me but joyous is how it leaves me feeling. _________________ He's mad. He's bad. He's MaynHARD! |

Helloween's new album "My God Given Right". It's not quite heavy enough for my taste. |

As pop stars go, Sia's not bad. I like that she's doing something different with her videos than the traditional "singer in seven different sexy costumes doing sexy poses with possible addition of back-up dancers" model churned out by Rihanna/Miley Cyrus/Beyonce etc. _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |

Alicia de Laroccha in her 1987 recording of Albeniz.
Here's her performing the complete Iberia Suite, from that recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ircCNBY3rZw
She was a remarkable pianist - she was less than 5 feet tall and had tiny hands, yet she was a startlingly brilliant player of piano music of all styles, including music written for pianists with huge hands (Rakhmaninov, Liszt etc).
The following piece from the Spanish Suite is, of course, very famous (especially in its guitar transcription). It's not a particularly difficult piano piece (unlike Iberia) but it's very beautiful (and fun to play). Her version is (ever so slightly) better than Jorge Bolet's:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhhmGmD_Eec
For anyone interested in seeing her playing style, here she is doing "Scarbo" (the final movement from Gaspard de La Nuit by Ravel), perhaps the most difficult piece in the whole of the piano literature. It's a brave pianist that allows themselves to be filmed doing this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwShsUpZyyE
I guess that's why she had a performing career that spanned about 75 of her 86 years. |

New single by Tame Impala.

I think it's pretty good. I think someone described them as "futuristic Beatles". There's certainly a bit of late-'60s psychedelic rock in their sound. _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |

Is this a parody or do they think what they're doing is OK? |
