    not heard Tool at all, was wondering what all the fuss is about ;)


    yeah.. think i'll get Neil Young as well

    the Tool and Phish things on here over the past year or so... i thought they must be amazing after so many people kept going on about them

    Tool sounded like NineInchNails to me but without any edge or melody.. just twitterings on guitars and weird effects to make it sound like Bernarnd Mannings stomach after 3 skips of beans... just pretentious.

    my opinion obviously, but if it was atmosphere i wanted then i'd watch a movie about atoms whilst entombed in a big sphere :confused:

    Raconteurs is definately gonna be a purchase... sounds like new Neil Young is worth investigating too... not heard Tool at all, was wondering what all the fuss is about ;)

    I may check that Raconteurs out. I'm not a great fan of Jack Black and his psuedo Zepellin act though. Also wasn't too impressed with him slating Billy Childish - The Buff Medways - accusing BC of imitating his stuff, probably not realising BC has been going for about 30 years and has made over 100 albums. Anyway, mustn't grumble. I may give the record a wee listen. (Damn this Scottish thing is addictive!)
    The Neil Young album is darn good. And the Springsteen album is really fucking good. I thought the thing on t.v the other night was a bit lame. Never like seeing him with his ban don stage - they always look too happy for my liking. But the Seeger sessions album is fucking ace - some quality traditional songs which got me toe tapping on the train the other day. It's worth checking out.

    i forgot about his latest offering... think i might check it out as well :)

    does it have a rock attitude on the album or is it quite folky/trad based???

    same with Neil Young... i was disappointed with Prarie Wind as it was mostly acoustic if not all...and i like NY when he hits the overdrive pedals.. nobody makes that same sounds as him then :)

    If you look at the reviews of Tools new album on Amazon it gets a real slating. I've never heard any of their stuff but I had a look at the album reviews on Amazon and a few die hard fans have said the new album sucks elephant dicks - or words to that effect.

    that phrase is funny as i can think of nothimg more impressive than a CD sucking an elephants knob... its not like thats an everyday occurence... i bet we'd be standing staring at it all aghast... "thats awesome.. an album sucking off an elephant"... mind you i might be more impressed if it were a pigs knob as that must be like eating a corkscrew :o

    The Springsteen album is sort of rocking in a sea shanty kind of way- good drinking music! What better recommendation that that?

    His new one has a lot of messy reverb on it. It's very thrown together - apparently it was recorded in one day. It's certainly not mellow like a few of his recent ditties.

    ‘HH: what is the Tool album like? been tempted to try that one’

    Fuck, I feel like I’m under serious pressure now since nobody has heard it. I can’t review stuff, lol. I dunno how to describe it but it sounds like loads of stuff I’ve heard but I can’t think of what… and this is in a good way. I never heard any of Tool’s stuff before and I went into my new favourite record shop and asked yer man to recommend something and he came up with Tool so he put it on for me and after about a minute I decided I wanted it. Although it had a weird effect when I got home. I had the house to myself and put it in the DVD and up really loud… and it made me clean the house :confused: . Lol, it just made me want to clean and keep cleaning :) . I like it – it’s easy listening metal and brain dead stuff – and I recommend it.

    ‘but I'm now cheating and letting someone who knows what they are doing do it for me’

    Me too :o Thanks Matt :)

    ‘Just to piss all the Americans off’

    Lol, wouldn’t that be fucking brilliant? Then the Dublin show will go down in history.

    ‘like could be a poor man's Floyd.’

    No, don’t do that. No Floyd comparisons – they don’t even try and be like them
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable
    Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life
    Had I not found this love with you

    I cheated. I stole it from Joe Pesci in Raging Bull! Funny how that's the only line I remember!
