Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden
Iron Maiden - Killers This is the only metal I like. But no one else I know likes it. They all like the Bruce Dickinson era and won't have anything to do with the Paul Di'Anno stuff. |
killers is an alright album

I might go dust this off. It wasn't a favourite for me like Wiretap Scars was. I saw them live during Wiretap and they were cool. Saw them during Porcelain (I think it was during then) and it was cool too. Alot of people over look Sparta or write them off. Shame. You can hear who wrote most of At the Drive-In music when listening to Sparta. |

Your right! Jim Ward wrote most of At The Drive In's music, he is wonderful. Sparta is just At The Drive In without so much crazy guitar or singing, i would have loved for them to have stayed together as they made kind of a SuperGroup! But Sparta has Jim and Tony (who is an absolutely amazing drummer) and thats good enough for me. Jim gets overlooked when it comes to At The Drive In, as he doesn't have an afro or a drug problem! sad. Watch Sparta! http://youtube.com/watch?v=WG7XBKZuY-g Watch At The Drive In http://youtube.com/watch?v=VdWHaKF1khs That being said, i am currently listening to - |
i remember an interview where omar took credit for writing the riffs with the crazy chords saying that it was because he was left handed and had to make up chords that jim later had to learn.
then, atdi break up and jim keeps writing the riffs with that kind of chords while omar went on to write music that hardly has any guitar riffs or chords whatsoever. i like me the odd sparta song, wiretap scars is too melancholic for me, at least it was the last time; porcelain has more solid songwriting. they are without a doubt better than the mars volta. |
Crazy chords? But the chords aren't really crazy, it's just the intensity and the song structure.
Live, Jim basically carried that band whilst Omar danced around. Add the two together and it's a perfect mix, hence why ATDI were so damn good. Jim was the solid guitarist, while Omar was pretty messy. It worked for them. |
The Sisters Of Mercy - Floodland
The harpsichord part in "This Corrosion" won't get out of my head. |
This heat
Downloaded it off a blog along with 1000 other things. |

ok, sorry, replace "crazy" with "atypical for a heavy rock band" chords. |
No, I know what you meant. I just don't find the chords out of the ordinary. But perhaps they are.

Was listening to:
now listening to: |

and this quote that made me laugh. Go Jim!!! Quote:
To me, i don't think Omar and Cedric had much to do with ATDI's writing, Cedric wrote half the lyrics and Omar came up with some good guitar parts to play over Jim's excellent guitar parts, but you're right Jim carried that band. Watch Jim caring the band http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZagV6...eature=related Omar throws his guitar at an amp half way through the song. Cedric does what he usually does, and Jim ends up singing most of the song. I love At The Drive In, it would be kool if they were still together as they made an excellent band, but when it comes to your personal life i think Jim and Tony are better off without Cedric and Omar around them. |
Omar and Cedric are two cool guys though, and apparently clean these days and have been for a few years now.

I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but my teacher once toured with them back when at the drive-in were small. He said they would argue about mindless things like whether Gandalf or Sauron was more powerful in Lord of the Rings and the arguments would get really heated. I'm listening to Pan Sonic - Kesto |
Just finished Dead Meadow - Old Growth
Listening now to Howlin' Rain's selft titled. |
Should I play some Steely Dan? Katy Lied, I think.
|
You know I've never listened to a Steely Dan record? A lot of classic artists for that matter.
|
Oh, man, you have to get some Dan. I think Katy Lied is probably the most perfect rock album ever made.
|
Turn it up, I'm listening to the radio, local emergency weather info. It rocks, Highs -1 to -6 below.
