The Best Alpine Snowboarding song... EVER!

Thumper · May 15, 2008

I'll stick with my 70s - 80s punk.
Can't imagine a better carving soundtrack than Jello Biafra screaming or Johnny Rotten mumbling with harsh guitar riffs ion the background..

Agreed! I saw the DKs in their prime at the Olympic Auditorium in LA with about 8 other bands, full Cat 5 mosh pit -total carnage.

KingCrimson · May 15, 2008

I'm quite a fan of newer punk inspired music (no, it's not real punk unless it's old and irritating)

Going to X-Fest down here, The Offspring are playing.

Million miles away..

I feel that my... "old schoolness" has been questioned. Well this is one of my tunes that I rode to in the "oldschool" days. Yeah, I like the Euro hardcore as well as the Euro carving.

Ya wanna MindF#@$? Here's some oldschool hardcore mixed with some newschool!!! Get widdit!!!

KingCrimson · May 15, 2008

I thought you were cool.

Another oldie but a goodie!!!!

Hey, I like VH and Ratt too!!! But I have a more eclectict view of music than most people.

KingCrimson · May 15, 2008

Dangit, Van Halen irritates me for no reason.

Aaaaaaaaaaand Ratt is from down here, and one of my teachers was formerly associated with them.

Plus, I don't go for that stuff. It's all about the trippy, crappy, progressive rock.

Sorry, but I'm assuming you are talking about the vid with the street dancing... Are you aware that is Skinny Puppy you're refering too? Sorry the vid doesn't explain that. Just wondering as you claim the old punk, dirty style music. :smashfrea

KingCrimson · May 15, 2008

I never said I like old punk :P

That's my friend who has more studs in his leather jacket than leather, wears more yellow than big bird, and thinks he's cool because not only does he toke, but he smokes cigs too! He's not really my friend. Just someone I don't plan on arguing with.

So you're more along the lines of the Cali "eco friendly", politcally correct, non-abrasive, vegan, pro-Hillary punk rocker.:lol:

You wouldn't by chance enjoy something like this...

^^commerially viable crap from a once great band. Kinda like listening to Big Audio Dynamite and claiming you're a Clash fan.

Ignoring the video...

No. That's also crap. I'm a hesher with a passionate hatred for pretty much every new song.

In regards to the video, tex was spot on.

Sinecure · May 15, 2008

Classic punk. On my "Boarding Tunes" list. Although a better recording than this:

Here's a version with news coverage of Jello's run for mayor:

And there's always "Too Drunk to F*ck"

willywhit · May 15, 2008

I like where this thread is going.

How about a band I really don't care for (FNM) covering a classic Sabbath tune and killing it ? IN Brixton !

another band that is kinda lame does a tune for a movie and it rocks

I know, it was for the Punisher movie but this kid can edit really well

ride ride ride

That was meant as a sarcastic video and was supposed to go with the statement before it.

This should make a good peace offering....

One more for the punks

What is that video from? Crumbs breaking and Tight Eyez krumping has to be some kind of historic event, like Jet Li and Jackie Chan in the same movie or something. Wait... that just happened and it sucked...

I just loaded the first BAD album onto my zune and am listening to it as I type. Only liked the first two, not a fan of the later tripe. And yes, I am a huge clash fan

Best album in 1991.... Gish

Man, it must suck not being able to listen to something new and finding it enjoyable. Obviously not a musician. Musicians are always looking for new sounds. But maybe I can help you out, .....what about this one, it's not new but maybe new to you?

KingCrimson · May 16, 2008

Been a musician, a nerdy one at that, since....I lost count. Doesn't matter anyway. I'm too much of a traditionalist. Also, the new, popular music in the O state may be different from what gets airtime down here.

I have a really big problem with post-grunge. The proper generation of grunge bands are clearly distinct in their own ways, yet are heavily dependent on the influences of what I call "Real" music. 70's and 80's hard rock, and heavy metal. Pearl Jam is a very clear cut example of this, and the two similarities I'm going to mention are those that I've found in the very early hours of the morning, while listening to music. Listen to "Going to California" by Led Zeppelin. Now, listen to "Given to Fly" by Pearl Jam. Not only are the two done in the same manner, but note that Eddie's lyrics are sung in a rhythmic pattern similar to that of Page's. Another example, although not as obvious is, "Better Man." First, listen to The Who's "Behind Blue Eyes." Now, listen to Better Man. It starts out in a very soft form, but turns into a song that almost feels like a rock anthem. Plus, Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town is just a fantastic song.

Now, all is well with a band like Pearl Jam taking Led Zeppelin and The Who songs and throwing the grungy sound on top, and changing out chords and lyrics, yet maintaining the feel; Pearl Jam is just such a talented band. However, the grunge title (which I believe doesn't apply to Pearl Jam very well, but the record labels do it- so we'll all follow along) applied to an artist, it almost makes it sound unsophisticated. Now, some songs may sound just like garbage (Nirvana's "Plateau" is the only half decent example I can come up with) yet it's all done so well, it doesn't matter. However, if you take something that's likely as much luck as it is talent, and try to replicate it, you're bound to end up with something downright silly.

I'm waiting for a band that can take influences from something I really like, but make it just as original sounding as the influence. So far, I've only found 1 band that fits this impossible, oxymoron request. Until I find another that consistently has songs that I like, I'm shutting out 99% of new music.

Photodad- I appreciate the video, but I'm about as stubborn about music as...Well, I haven't found something that equals my stubbornness.

Also, I'm blessed with incredible musical talent; the bassoon was supposed to be impossible for me to play, however, within 6 weeks I was performing at Copley Symphony Hall with the Youth Symphony. Obviously, it's lots of boasting, but I play bass guitar like nobody's business, but I never want to pursue it more than playing for a while to express myself TO myself. I don't let very many people hear me play, and usually if they do, my amp was turned up. I'm so fed up with people who think they know about music (including myself...) that it's better to keep it to myself than to have people try to understand it.

Fellow Orchestra Geek!!! I played in the Dayton Philharmonic Youth Orchestra and had the once in a life time priveledge to performe at New York's Carnegie Hall. Violin since 5th grade. :biggthump

I'm still going to have to disagree though. Sure Classic 70's rock is something to be admired and appreciated, but 80's metal? The 80's produced it's fair share of good music, but I believe little came from spandex, aqua net, and make-up.:rolleyes: 2 80's bands that come to mind that produced good original music and are now influences themselves are U2 and New Order.

KingCrimson · May 17, 2008

"Dorkestra"

One project I'd like to pursue is heavy metal bassoon. Yes, heavy effin metal on bassoon. Think of a long and silly and dorky song. Ah yes!

Rime of the Ancient Mariner interpreted by Iron Maiden. Like that.

Given, taken at face value, 80's metal is complete crap. And of course, there's little to gain from listening to it.

However, there's some pretty pivotal stuff in 80's metal, that, had it not occurred, we probably wouldn't have ever stumbled on Generation X.

"We're not gonna take it"

Saw Offspring, Pennywise, and Jimmy Eat World this evening. Awesome show! Not quite loud enough for my taste, not sure why it was so quiet. The Offspring were as fantastic as ever, but they're all getting old. The guitarist is rockin some hair just like mine, just a little shorter! :D

willywhit · May 17, 2008

Black Keys tonight !

Gonna be my 3rd time seeing 'em . This time it's a bigger venue.

Orpheum Theater instead of Axis.

NYC show a few nights ago.

The Best Alpine Snowboarding song... EVER!
