Favourite band/artist and song

[Buzz]

Anything by Tool.

………… Well maybe Perfect Circle as well.

[iamthe_eggman]

What would you say are your top 3 favourite artists and your top 3 favourite songs?

(Maybe this should be two separate topics)

For artists, I would probably say Nirvana, Metallica and Radiohead (Pink Floyd is right up there too).
For songs, I think (it's pretty tight), One by Metallica, Shine on you crazy diamond by Floyd and Heart-shaped box by Nirvana.

Wow. I didn't think this would be that hard a topic. I'm pretty sure I missed something in my list.

ok, i'm not really the eggman

[ekstasis16]

It's hard to say what my favorites are since I switch to new and old stuff every few weeks. But here are my current favorites.

Royal Hunt
Nobuo Uematsu
In Flames

Ending Theme - FF8 (Nobuo)
Noah's Ark (Vai from Gregg Bissonette's 'Submarine')
Paradigm Shift (Liquid Tension Experiment)

[zepo]

hmmmmm favorite bands 1. Zeppelin (of course) 2. Metallica 3. Spinal Tap hehehe

Favorite songs 1. anything Zeppelin did but I lean toward Achilles Last Stand and Kashmir
2. Big Bottoms by Spinal Tap (love that song)
3. Either Fade to Black by Metallica or One also by Metallica

Of course I can't forget Pink Floyd,Queen,Jimi,The Doors, the list goes on and on as i think it does for everyone.

[iamthe_eggman]

i would like to hear Mr. Vai's comments on this subject.

------------------

[Buzz]

So would I eggman, if he were really visiting this board. But he isn't.

[iamthe_eggman]

NOOOOOOO!!!!!! Say it ain't so, Buzz! Hey - that reminds me - I really like Weezer too.

------------------
ok, i'm not really the eggman

[zepo]

Hey you know he'd just say himself if he did post jeez.

[Uncle Istvan]

Fav Bands/Artists - GWAR, Stevie Vai, and King Diamond

Fav Songs - Rock and Roll Never Felt so Good - GWAR, Changes - Hendrix/Miles, unt, les'see, uhmmm... Tommy the Cat by Primus? I dunno, 3 favorite songs are hard to pick because they change so often...

Buzz - I saw APC in Portland, Or, and Maynard James Keenan really pissed me off. He came out looking stoned, then, halfway through the set, his wig fell off so he layed on the floor for the rest of the set, flipped us off, and then ran offstage. I don't like that kind of attitude from musicians. It's a real crappy way to treat your fans. Good thing I didn't pay to see him, I paid to see NIN! Maynard James Keenan will never see any of my money again after that...

[Steve Vai]

Wow, thanks for thinkin' of me eggman. Gee, this really is a tough one guys! I'd have to say my mentor Joe. I really love "The Crush of Love", and "Always With Me Always With You". I also really enjoy Jimi's music, not a particular song really though. He's got so many great songs just like Joe. And my last would have to be Eric Johnson's "Manhattan". It's a great song no matter what type of music you like, I suggest you check it out if you haven't heard it. Well, I'm off to go judge a guitar competition in California. I'll try to get back in touch with you guys as soon as possible.

Unc..... I just like the tunes. There's a lot not to like about some musicians.
Just because I enjoy the tunes doesn't mean I support the people. I can't stand Dave Mustaine. He's the most arrogant, self-centered bastard I've ever heard of. But he does write some good music.

[milkybardave]

Fave Songs:

Phantom of the opera - Iron Maiden
Don't Cry - Guns N Roses
Sister Luck - Black Crowes

Well they're my fave at the moment,but it could change tomorrow

Fave Artists, again it could change tomorrow
AC/DC
Thin Lizzy
Metallica

Take It Eazy

Dave

[magnus]

Converge- Farewell note to this city

Eric Johnson- When the sun meets the sky

J.S. Bach- Partita nr3 in EMajor

[KingB]

Anything from Testament when Alex Skolnick was with them, although their stuff with James Murphy is good too.
I also like the theme song for Fred Penner's Place by Fred Penner

[Jimi Hendrix]

I feel pretty embarassed to say this, but I'm really getting into the new Britney Spears CD. Also, of course, Steve Vai. I love Steve Vai.

[ekstasis16]

Calm down, loner92, the Vai posting episode was a running joke after everything got straightened out. Hendrix posted, and I'm waiting for Satch to speak up...

[loner92]

Ok. That sucks.

Wow. You´re pretty cool! You like Pink Floyd, my most favourite band! The best ever, and Metallica is a real goody! Kirk Hammett is amazing, and Cliff...well...he never really got to live out his full potential. He was a great bassist, and there was so much more wonders waiting to be created. Very unfortunate, but Roger Waters will always be the worlds greatest bassist and writer!!!!
