The Novella Reservoir Impact

[DoomsdayZach]

Garth actually DOES have some great stuff, whether it's just fucking fun sing along party music (i can't tell you how many times i've been drunk, arm around a friend singing at the top of my lungs "AAHHH'V GOT FRIENDS IN LOOOWWWW PLACES" ) or songs that really get to me due to a particular time in my life (The Dance). For country, i prefer guys like Townes Van Zandt (not country in the typical sense? I don't know much about the genre) or other stuff like that.

But then again, that makes up about 5% of my music listening time

and pointy guitars

Haha!

I dunno, this just made me laugh for some reason.

I love stuff like Flying Burrito Bros., late 60s/early 70s Byrds with Clarence White, Johnny Cash, etc.

Yeah, Gram Parsons (The Flying Burrito Bros) is great. I only have one Byrds album, Sweetheart of the Rodeo, which has Gram Parsons on it too. It's awesome.

Very well said, Larry. Of the points you made in your first post, what resounds loudest to me is that if someone claimed to love Metal 20 or 30 yrs ago(like my drunken friend) and now has a basic disdain for it, then I agree he never truly "loved" it anyway. As for me, I must emphatically state that I respect all musicians that are true to their art regardless of genre. I at times dig Grahm Parsons(Grievous Angel) Johnny Cash is a country icon, Townes Van Zandt writes good country-blues, and I always dug the Eagles album "Desperado." This being a metal forum, I never thought of mentioning my tastes for country. As far as "rap,hip-hop" well, I'm sorry but I think they should all be loaded into a Port-a-John and blown up with a rocket propelled grenade launcher. Ready-Aim Fire.

If you liked Sweetheart of the Rodeo, check out some of the later albums too like "The Ballad Of Easy Rider" and "Untitled", from 1969 and 1970 respectively. They have the lineup with Gene Parsons, Skip Batton, and Clarence White (who I think was one of the greatest guitarists of that period, AMAZING Nashville style musician.)

My library has The Ballad of Easy Rider so I put that one on hold, no luck on the other though.

Ha ha ha, a weird topic in yet again a derailed thread, but it's good to know I am not the only guy that occasionally likes a little Garth Brooks. As for Cash, i know I will catch shit for this one(as my guitarist loves him and we argue all the time) But I just can't dig on Cash, can't do it at all. I appreciate and respect his talent and recognize what he did for his(and several others) genre and all, but honestly, it is just not my thing. He was a badass though lol. I appreciate all music if it is heartfelt. Lately, I have just been really getting more and more into jeff Buckley.

 

[NvmbrsDoom5]

Yeah we should start a thread about this kind of stuff so that this doesn't get derailed any further.

just got novella reservoir...KILLER ALBUM! its getting better and better w/ every listen. Lot of different influences on this one. More death metal, and even #6 i think it is, the beginning sounds like old metallica.

Yeah, it's getting better and better for me too. I was listening to the album while performing my morning ablutions and it was hard to stay focused.

Carly, my little niece, who was part of the reason for my initial post now is driving me insane about meeting Vito. Her little mind can't seem to grasp that he is not readily available, and that her Uncle(me) doesn't know Vito personally. Anyway, what do you tell a 3 yr old who obviously has a "crush". I'm at a loss for words to get her to understand, she says, "call him on my new cell-phone" It's a TOY phone. I don't know man.

Tell her that Vito likes the cock.

Tell her that Vito likes the cock.

Off topic!!

 

[BloodSword]

How do you tell a 3 yr old about "the cock" That's even more difficult, and if I tried my sister would have me flogged!!
