Rooi off to see Dave Matthews Band
I've heard of them but I can't say I know their music. Will listen to a few tracks.
mmm...
Thought you were into death metal, Dave ... you know ... that brain damage stuff that seems so popular these days ...
Yes ... your point?
I just can't like U2 for some odd reason. Bizarre .
I suspect Draad here is more into Wimpie van Wyk en sy Boere Orkes style music. If there's no accordion and multiple references to God se Liefde then it's the devil's music.
Listened to Crash Into Me and The Space Between. Nice.
Rude-Rooi, wrong again. I love Rock 'n Roll.
Queen, Aerosmith, Deff Leppard, Billy Idol, Pat Banatar, Bon Jovi, Pink Floyd. The list goes on and on, but neither Joshua Tree or Rattle and Hum does it for me....as for you childish dig at my religion and Afrikanerism, I'm gonna ignore a pact I made with myself and tell you to GoFYourself. Never in my life has I ever came accross anyone so hell bent on being an complete and utter arsehole to all but a selective few, who he decided to suck up to. Go get a life Poephol.
Long ago, I said that you are a bit of a d00s, well, I was wrong, sorry for that misunderstanding. I'm crystal now. Over and out arsehole!
There, rant over. You got me.
Metallica? Megadeth. Ende.
I have a massive range of music that I like, from Enya and the classical composers all the way to heavy metal and yes, even the odd death metal song. However, like Saff has mentioned, I can't stand R&B, Rap, and whatever that kak is they play at News Cafe and other such "trendy" places.
To be specific though some of my favourite bands are ACDC, Metallica, ZZ Top, Dire Straights, Pink Floyd (A mysterious band that seems to produce either absolute masterpieces or complete crap), Ozzy Osbourne, Iron Maiden, Tom Petty, Bob Marley, Scorpions, CCR, Bob Segar, BB King and so on. This is going to be out of left field, but I have recently been getting into a band called Nightwish. Not my normal taste at all, because I generally don't like female fronted heavy metal bands, but they have a new (Since 2013) singer that in my humble opinion, is probably the best female vocalist alive. If you have an open mind check out this live performance from Waken 2013, its a long song, but watch to the end...you'll understand. It doesn't hurt that she is very tall, and pretty easy on the eyes.

Saff, I am not much of a U2 or Coldplay fan either. Just a personal taste thing I think.
There are a few U2 tracks that I enjoy ... but as a whole, I've never really been a fan of theirs.
They're ok I guess.
I'd much rather listen to Tom Petty, Bob Seger, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, JJ Cale, Peter Gabriel, CCR. Dire Straites, Alpha Blondie, Genesis and Phil Colins, In fact I'd prefer Theuns Jordaan to them as well.
Boere musiek is awesome to party to and only the ignorant would dis it. I've never had more fun at a party than one with a concertina band and "langarm" dancing.
Standing on one spot and shaking your ass is ok ... I guess.
She's beautiful ... in a tattoo, face piercing kinda way ... as for her voice, I like the sound of Anastacia. She's smokin hot too.
Hey Blue ... how about ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mQVljB7JGw
... and this ... ?

Haaaahahahahahaaa ... though you'd comment on her size ... but you didn't bite.
She's enormous ... I enjoy the song though.
One is so used to the gaunt look for these drugged up rock stars that a lardass seems so out of place.
In Saff's defense he did say "in no particular order". Beatles we're a massively influential band. As were Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Elvis, Queen, Chuck Berry, Jimmy Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Nirvana and The sex pistols. These bands/individuals either gave rise to new genres or revolutionised existing ones.
You'll notice I left out pop outfits like The Spice girls, B ackstreet boys and Michael Jackson because fuck em all and what they did to music!
Melodic instrumentals are best. When speaking of the guitar world, you cannot leave out Ynwgie Malmsteen, John Petrucci, Joe Satriani, Jake E Lee, Michael Angelo Batio, Michael Romeo, Marty Friedman, Jeff Beck, Van Halen, Eric Johnson, BB King, Dave Mustaine, Buckethead et al.
Then we have Rachmaninoff, Schubert, Paganini, Weiss, Liszt, Debussy, Wagner.
From Japan we have Uematsu, Shimomura, Yamaoka, Okabe, Yamane, Hamasaki, Hikaru et al.
Other notable mentions: MiQedem, Yaron Cherniak, Eisblume, Unheilig, Julian Kruse, FAUN, NeraNature, Vanessa Mae, Bond, Dalumi, Liu Fang, Muse, Nightwish, Kamelot, Sotiria, Joshua Aaron, John Williams, Harry Gregson Williams, Röyksopp, Josh Groban, Frank Klepacki, Eisbrecher, Camille.
All I can say Saffex is listing Tool in your number one spot is right where they should be, and with a new album out in a couple of months something to look forward to.
Pearl Jam would take 2nd spot right beside David Bowie's music from the 70's
Also check out Mark of Cain (Degenerate boy and Milosovic) and Parkway Drive (Prey) for some fantastic alternative music.
Well me for one hates R&B and Rap but they are nowhere as bad as Country and Western which has to be up there with peruvian nose flute music as the absolute worst genre around.
But as you say cloudy to each their own.
Aug, I see you left out Steve Vai. He is a bit of a poser, but he can certainly shred with the best of them. I actually own his signature Ibanez Jem 7vwh. I own quite a few guitars among them a high end Gibson SG (I find the Les Paul to be a bit unoriginal...also Angus Young plays an SG!) and an American made Strat. Even so the Ibanez is my absolute favourite for epic solos (well as epic as can be with my limited skill set). Also, here in SA the Jem is very rare, so it is relatively unique. Any musician that isn't bare bones broke in SA has a Les Paul or a strat. Which are both great guitars, though not as good as their reputation would suggest, but the Jem, for me anyway, is just awesome!
Vai plays well, but his music is a little too chromatic for my taste. Have you seen him with G3 ? I have the DVD with Satriani, Eric Johnson and Vai. Very good performances by all three.
I still have my first guitar: A Squire Strat Affinity Series. I also have an Epiphone Les Paul from South Korea, plays beautifully. Then a custom ESP MII and Dean MAB2, both with great necks. I'm pretty big on ESP and Jackson guitars.
I always wanted one of the Satriani signature guitars by Ibanez. I played a Kiko Loureiro signature, pretty nice guitar. The wizard 2 necks are pretty quick. I had a look at a JEM many years ago, was out of my price range at the time. Great tone.
You think Kings of Leon are boring. As a compromise I had to play some Blink 182 and Newfound Glory!
Dave ... you seem to like a lot of Reggae ... I don't see "Alpha Blondy" listed though.
Get hold of the album "Masada" and give that a listen. Absolutely superb.
Also ... two other reggae bands that I enjoy are "Toots and the Maytals" and Linton Kwesi Johnson" ... see if you can find his song "Sonny's Lettah" ...
Love Rock and Metal. 80's pop. C&W...here and there. Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton...Johnny Cash anyone?
How about Disco? Boney M(I don't go to shopping malls before Christmas, so not that gatfol yet) and The Bee Gees.
Afrikaans music: David Kramer, Laurika and some Anton Goosen , even Robbie Wessels every now and the.
I hate RnB, jaz and rap, but even those have the odd good song.
What's your take on Disturbed Dave?
See no Def Leppard either?
