I wouldn’t care about what others thought in posting on this thread. I am generally pretty close minded when it comes to the music I like, and that usually means it had to be recorded prior to 1982 or so.
That said, someone here posted a song by Larkin-Poe and I loved it. That posting opened my closed mind a fraction that there might be good stuff created now. You never know when someone posts an artist that you haven’t heard of and say… wow that was pretty good.
BTW, I listened to the song you posted and that drummer is pretty dang good.

In the late 80’s and early 90’s before we had kids and after we were out of college, my wife and I had season tickets for the symphony, and the opera, in SLC, and enjoyed hearing some of the best music ever written performed live by world class musicians.
Now retired, I’m eager to start attending again, and just purchased tickets to a performance in April at the Utah Symphony of one of my favorite pieces of music, the Concierto de Aranjuez, for orchestra and guitar, by Rodrigo.
I’ve posted a link below to a great performance of the piece, starting at the second movement, which is fairly well known, for its simple, yet haunting melody. I’ve also posted a link to a piece by JiJi, the South Korean guitarist, who will be performing on guitar with the Symphony. It’s great to see an incredibly talented and accomplished woman playing guitar, there are far to few of them.

Yeah, that is pretty standard drumming for power metal. Not to brag, but back in the day my double bass speed was pretty off the charts!

LOL, I didn’t even notice the drumming in that song. Definitely seemed pretty tame to me (not bad, just pretty standard).
Bands like Archspire, Fleshgod Apocalypse, or Meshuggah push metal drumming to absolutely ridiculous limits. Listen to the double bass that starts at :28 seconds into this song. I truly have no idea how a human moves their feet that fast.
The drumming in this one blew my everloving mind. It’s insane. I saw FGA play live a couple weeks ago, and it sounded almost exactly the same as this. The precision and speed were something to behold.
It’s pretty cool to see in motion, check out the kicks at 1:06 on this one.

Exactly! I come here to see what others are listening to, and use their experiences and preferences to occasionally expand my (admittedly limited) horizon. I’ve become acquainted with several artists in this thread that I would have never encountered otherwise. Many/most I really enjoyed, a few, not so much.
It might not happen often enough, we are after all, creatures of habit and our own background, but some of you have taught this old dog a few new tricks. Woof!
Keep posting please!

Cheap Trick was a fun band. Last time I checked they were still spending the occasional July performing at the Fuji Rock Festival in Yuzawa, Japan.
“ March of the Pigs" was released 30 years ago today. I am not fond of these constant reminders of how gorram old I’m getting.
Say what you will about Trent, but it’s undeniable that NIN was an incredible live band back in the day. I was lucky enough to catch them 3 times in the Fragile/With Teeth era, and each show was absolutely insane.
A small part of me misses that…even if just watching that performance makes my back hurt. :lol:

That’s one of my favorite NIN songs. I agree they are insane live, although I have yet to see them. I certainly will if they come relatively close to hear. I hear they put on a good show still. NIN is one of my most beloved bands. Reznor is a savant.

I remember watching Live Aid. It was the summer after I graduated high school. U2’s Bad, a (sort of) Led Zeppelin reunion. Queen. Was it Phil Collins who played in London then hopped on a Concorde and flew to the U.S. to play on the same day?
It was amazing.
