Goodbye Mr Lawrence and Merry Christmas. Touching and perfect for that film.

Vangellis modern classical music.

In my opinion and I realise it's only my own he's perhaps one of the best modern classical music exponents. Which is ironic and absurd all at the same time.

Glad you liked it, I am afraid you are preaching to the unconverted by which I mean, I am never going to find any sense in religion, it's so senseless I am afraid and the longer I live the more senseless it gets. I was once religious as a child, if but for a short time like a phase, but like belief in Santa it sort of got old fast listening to liars and hypocrites.

But hey what would the world be if we all thought the same way? Vivre le difference. Crack a smile, look at the one you love (might be you in the mirror, might be your soul mate hell that doesn't matter), get up and throw some curtains wide. Couldn't hurt...

[Sappho de Miranda]

I like this song, well that's my prerogative.

But I think if you dislike any music or art, perhaps your curtains are a little tightly shut...

If you know your arse from your elbow, use your arms, and throw them cheap coverings wide. Couldn't hurt right? Or of course you could whine about it and think that what you think matters like some divot in the dark, it's what most of the incorrigible mushrooms on Earth do, whine like babies until they get their way. That is of course your prerogative. 1 day though: give me one day...

If you still of course feel like whining like a girl after that, that is your prerogative, just know this though, you have heard the chimes at midnight. Whine some more, it certainly will make your day, and when it has all been whined out - one day - of course you need a million, but give elbow one day, and then look at your curtains...

Why I do declare... It's a music thread! And it has music in it! (Well worth the extra exclamation I'm sure.)

One thing I know about ladies and gents is music... I'm the licorice all sorts of music is me! But don't you whine about the many and varied tit bits I shall bring to this thread, lest you be judged by the cut of your curtains.

This one is for Blaggard.

This one is from Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds teaming up with Kylie Minogue better known in Oz as the singing budgie. It's a Murder Ballad, based on a true story.

One of my favourite guitar solos of all time, it's at the end, and I know most people can't make it past 15 secs of watching anything these days so with that in mind point finger click 4:56, yeah you is special now, bless, next year you might wear your big boy pants now wouldn't that be precious.

All joking aside enjoy if you don't you are dead inside.

Bear in mind I was weened on rock and roll and heavy metal, so I don't say favourite lightly. :]

Speaking of music perhaps and I don't know your music tastes you may, or may not like this song, it's not exactly classical music, it's not Jazz certainly, perhaps something a little apart from x you might be used to, if you don't like metal, or hard rock/Punk for God's sake don't click on it, and if you are of a more fragile disposition and like easy listening for lords sake don't click on the link... but you have been warned:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSvFpBO ... xQ&index=2

SOAD. You probably won't like it.

I love this band!! Wonder what they're up to lately. Haven't heard of them for a while.

Long before SOAD, there was SOD. Not as harmonically, melodically or rhythmically rich, but you get the ride. Warned!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQqAmb2 ... BmgzhokwXs

And this intro has to be the greatest minute of thrash metal ever:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8ZqFlw6hYg

Too bad they have always screwed up the vocals.

[Conde Lucanor]

Two great heavy metal guitar intros:

The first one is from a guy that passed away not long ago. He became better recognized for his playing in his more mature blues phase, but he really burned strings at a younger age. This is one of my favorite solos ever:

The second one from a Japanese metal band from the 80's:

That takes me back, Slayer was not a big fan of always thought they were a good thrash metal band but not up there at the top, I have never heard of SOD, which is odd, mind you you can't hear all the thrash in the world. You probably haven't heard of GBOA or Bomb Disneyland.

I saw Xentrix live once in Portsmouth in a tiny pub in the ass end of nowhere, they refused to play Ghostubusters. That didn't go down well, but then looking back would you want to play that for the 1 millionth time, in a tiny gig which you are getting maybe 10 grand tops from door sales from. Should of probably been glad in retrospect they turned up at all, they were pulling down million pound albums at the time.

SOAD are apparently insane live, they really are that mental. Wouldn't mind seeing them, but then I don't get out to gigs much any more...

Last band I saw live were The Hold Steady, friend of mine had a spare ticket 'cause some guy pulled out, really didn't want to go but glad I did. Wedgewood rooms have held such legends as The Who, The Police, even The Beatles, and many many more names. It was a good night, and ok I am not the Biggest fan of alterna rock but The Hold Steady Rocked that night.

One thing I will say though is go to them gigs when you are younger, because once you get responsibilities your lucky if you are allowed out to play more than once a year, even if your wife is or was a hardcore rock chick who would of put Courtney Walsh and all those other chic bands to shame.

Courtney Walsh who the hell is that? One too many mosh pit incidents methinks.

We had a bit of a muso Guitarophobe thing a while back you might want to scroll back. I mentioned Gary Moore then, certainly one of the most consumate guitar players that ever lived.

Crap and SOAD

Reunion and touring (2010–present)

On November 29, 2010, following several weeks of Internet rumors, System of a Down officially announced that they would be reuniting for a string of large European festival dates in June 2011.[14] Among the announced tour dates included UK's Download Festival, Switzerland's Greenfield Festival, Germany's Rock am Ring/Rock im Park, Sweden's Metaltown, Austria's Nova Rock Festival and Finland's Provinssirock. The reunion tour commenced on May 10, 2011 in Edmonton, Alberta.[15] System's first tour through Mexico and South America began on September 28, 2011 in Mexico City, ending in Santiago, Chile on October 7, 2011.[16] From late February to early March 2012, they headlined five dates at Soundwave festival.[17] This was the band's first visit to Australia since 2005. The band have continued playing around the world. On August 11 and 12, 2012, they played the Heavy MTL and Heavy T.O. music festivals in Montreal and Toronto, respectively.[18] On February 4, 2013, it was announced that System of a Down would play the UK's Reading and Leeds Festivals in August 2013, among other festivals and venues.[19]

In mid March 2013, via their Facebook Page, the band hinted at an announcement of a show by posting pictures of famous Los Angeles Landmarks and asking fans to figure out "where all roads lead". Several days later, it was announced that System of a Down would play their only US Date in 2013 at the Hollywood Bowl on July 29, 2013. Tickets sold out hours after going on sale on March 22.

Asked in August 2012 whether System of a Down will record a new album, frontman Serj Tankian said that the members of System of a Down have not "really discussed another record as of now", although he later added, "when it's the right time, it'll materialize, like everything else in the universe".[20] Also in August, Dolmayan said that he would like to do a new System of a Down album in 2013.[21]

On May 20, 2013 bassist Shavo Odadjian criticized Tankian on Facebook, accusing him of stopping the band from recording a sixth studio album. Odadjian stated, "Its not us (Daron, John or Shavo) Its Serj, who doesn' want to do a new album!!!! so please stop harassing us about it!!! We are just waiting for SERJ! Now He might hate me for exposing the truth but i Had too.. Sorry folks!!! we're trying to get a new album out, its just not passing Serj’s RULES! . Kinda funny, since we started the band and now he’s holding us back!!" [sic] He also went as far as to comment on the possibility of replacing Tankian to get an album out sooner.[22]

While he has since removed the posts from his page, System of a Down's official Facebook page later responded to the posts. The statement said that his statements "do not reflect the sentiments of System Of A Down as a collective band" and that they came from "a temporary state of bad judgment on his part alone". Regarding a new album, it also read "although we have not agreed on a timetable for a new album, we all believe that having the four of us do it together is the way to be true to the band and our fans."[23] Later, while commenting on the possibility of new System of a Down material, singer Serj Tankian stated that he "can't write a forced record", an action he described as "romancing someone at a time you don't want to be romantic." He added that an album cycle requires three years and it is not "something [he] can do right now."[24]

On September 26, 2013, Dolmayan revealed on Twitter that he had begun work on a covers album, which "should be good practice" for a new System of a Down album "sometime in the future."[25]

I really should read things more carefully, this is the current status, sounds like a wankfest of artistic differences/producer bullshit, that's music for you.

wiki: SOAD. Mind you, you should probably read their fan sites if you want the actual skinny... I just don't have time atm.

Still I never recovered from the Creme Brulé brake up... who could Voodoo Lady was a song for the ages...
