LATEST UPDATE 7/30 – Mastodon Monday – Shadows That Move
GUITAR/BASS: PhantomBlade8
Shadows That Move is a great intro song to the album Call of the Mastodon. The vocals are great as a growl and they add to the whole song. The guitars in this sing are epic, very heavy and also fast at times. The drumming is amazing as usual with Dailor, and the bass backs everything up well.
LATEST UPDATE 8/1 – The Guess Who – Grey Day
GUITAR: ghostbyob
BASS: bsbloom
VOCALS: EchoOfMystery
STANDARD KEYS: Bansheeflyer
The jazz-rock of ‘Grey Day’ keep you on your toes with extremely impressive musicianship. The outro is a stunning duel between guitar and drums.
LATEST UPDATE 8/3 – Frank Friday’s – Road Ladies
GUITAR: ghostbyob
BASS: ejthedj
VOCALS: EchoOfMystery
“Road Ladies” is a blues-rock song and the first Zappa track featuring the vocal talents of ex-Turtles Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman and the song that introduced the whole “life on the road” cycle that would obsess the guitarist for two years and lead him to his first completed movie: 200 Motels.LATEST UPDATE 8/4 – Temple of the Dog – Your Saviour
GUITAR: mrcoupdetat
BASS: TheWay123
“Your Savior” features funky beats and grooves throughout with fantastic drumming. It’s an underrated slice of blues-rock.
LATEST UPDATE 8/7 – Mastodon Monday – Elephant Man
GUITAR/DRUMS: Chips
Elephant Man is an 8 minute instrumental that closes out the end of the album. The guitars layer on each other with hyper melodic solo licks and a bass part that subtly keeps it together. The drums are slowed down here and are still precise with original beats. This song features solos that are intensely melodic and again show that control and originality that distinguishes this album from typical sludge metal. The song closes out with a long silence and the sound of pouring rain, adding ambiance and they truly make the song complete.LATEST UPDATE 8/8 – The Guess Who – Laughing
GUITAR/BASS: bsbloom
VOCALS: EchoOfMystery
“Laughing” peaked at #1 on the Canadian Singles Chart and at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the band’s second single to reach the Top 10 on the latter. It also became their second of three gold records.
LATEST UPDATE 8/10 – Frank Friday’s – Oh No/Son of Orange County
GUITAR: ghostbyob
BASS: ejthedj
VOCALS: EchoOfMystery
LATEST UPDATE 8/11 – Temple of the Dog – Wooden Jesus
GUITAR: mrcoupdetat
BASS: doa
“Wooden Jesus” is built on a revolving drum beat by Cameron with some strategically added percussion for extra effect in the intro. Later comes an interesting little banjo during second verse and great wah-wah guitar lead during the bridge.
LATEST UPDATE 8/13 – Mastodon Monday – Slickleg
GUITAR/BASS: PhantomBlade8
VOCALS: EchoOfMystery
“Slickleg” is a mammoth – pun intended – of a track that goes everywhere, from an acoustic intro to a traditional metal riff, blastbeats, post-rock ambiances and back again, all in the space of four short minutes. Beckoning a mammoth trapped in ice while squelching acoustic tendencies with immediate, squealing thrash riffs and drums rolling starboard.LATEST UPDATE 8/16 – The Guess Who – Bus Rider
GUITAR/BASS: bsbloom
VOCALS: EchoOfMystery
“Bus Rider” was penned by guitarist Kurt Winter as a fifties-style rocker with seventies-style rock riffs to make it overall fun musically.
LATEST UPDATE 8/17 – Frank Friday’s – Bobby Brown
HARMONIES/VENUE: AJFOne23
Audio Source Lineage: 1978 Analog Master -> 2012 Remaster/UMe CD -> EAC v.99(?) -> .WAV -> Audacity (Volume/EQ adjustment)
Probably the only Frank Zappa song to be banned from radio airplay, this little single is probably amongst Zappa’s most (and mundanely) performed tracks live. The story entails your average middle American man, Bobby, being the stereotypical male chauvanistic pig on his quest to become an over-educated shit-head. He is the American Dream. While in his studies, he comes across a product of second-wave feminism, a lesbian named Freddie, who convinces and assists him in his own castration. He is the American Dream. Now a eunuch, Bobby has gone into the entertainment biz, though many are unaware to his sexual proclivites. In the end, he descends into more sexually depraved acts, such as sitting on the Tower of Power. He is the American Dream and he’s going down.LATEST UPDATE 8/18 – Temple of the Dog – Four Walled World
GUITAR: mrcoupdetat
“Four Walled World” examines the metaphorical prison of a life constrained by pain and addiction, both serving as unequivocal allusions to Wood’s suffering and ultimate fate.
