Name that song

[Camino LS6]

Thanks for posting that,Razor. I do remember the name but not someone I really knew much about.

Mine is from 1991 and is by a band that went on to a degree of commercial success after this album. I like the later stuff but prefer this one. Incredibly progressive stuff and I just had to have it after just one time hearing just one cut.

[Camino LS6]

It would seem you guys need another hint.

The band in question titled a later effort Throwing Copper.

It was quite successful.

[ZL-1]

Let's see who guesses this one. I have stopped before the sleaziest bits

I've been to Hastings,

And I've been to Brighton

I've been to Eastport too

So what?! So what?!

I've been here

And I've been there

I've been every-f#cking-where

So what?! So what?!

So what, so what

You boring little f#ck

[Nick]

So What, or So f@#king What?!

I'm used to the Metallica version myself...Though the original is done by the Anti-Nowhere League I believe...

Hilarious song...

Try this...

Pumped with fluid, inside your brain

Pressure in your skull begins pushing through your eyes

Burning flesh, drips away

Test of heat burns your skin, your mind starts to boil

Frigid cold, cracks your limbs

How long can you last

In this frozen water burial?

Sewn together, joining heads

Just a matter of time

till you rip yourselves apart

Millions laid out in their

Crowded tombs

Sickening ways to achieve

The holocaust

Seas of blood, bury life

Smell your death as it burns

Deep inside of you

Abacinate, eyes that bleed

Praying for the end of

Your wide awake nightmare

Wings of pain, reach out for you

His face of death staring down,

Your blood running cold

Injecting cells, dying eyes

Feeding on the screams of

The mutants hes creating

Pathetic harmless victims

Left to die

Mirror Song by Live from Mental Jewelry

I had no idea so I researched it from your clue. I never heard of these guys. I see that "Throwing Copper" has sold 8 million, yet the name of the band escapes me. I did actually shut of the radio during the early 90's and when it was on I listened to country.............thats the effect "grunge" had on me.................

I see the album Mental Jewelry has a song titled "Tired of Me"

heres another "Tired of Me" but thats not the title

Feeling so strong

I feel so inspired

Like a man with all the words

I could move the world

If I weren't so tired

--------

Feeling so proud

I feel so admired

Like a man on the stage

I could play the part

If I weren't so tired

--------

Tired of mind and all I think

Tired of thirst and all that I drink

Tired of will and all that I need

Tired of body and all that I bleed

Tired of breath and all that I breathe

Tired of heart and all that I grieve

Tired of sight and all that I see

Tired of you and tired of me

---------

Feeling so full

Nothing desired

Like a man with everything

I should be happy

But I'm only tired

----------

Nick - Thats some really sick $h! right there........ I could almost hear Dave Mustaine singing that but I have no idea.

[ocnblu]

I was heavy into Live, and they're local boys. Now they're in the "WEHT?" file, afaik.

[razoredge]

My source says Live just released their 7th studio recording this past summer called Songs From Black Mountain

I guess this is another band on my list.

[Camino LS6]

Absolutely put them on your list,Razor. They are as prog as it gets, but with a gritty undertow that only makes the music better. Mental Jewelry is easily in my top ten from the '90s.

Glad to see some other folks chiming in on this thread, Razor and I can't do all the work.

OCN: you never cease to surprise me, cool to hear you are a Live fan. Must be a Pennsylvania thing.

[Guest YellowJacket894]

New lyrics. Easy to guess.

"Shower in the dark day

Clean sparks driving down

Cool in the waterway

Where the baptized drown

Naked in the cold sun

Breathing life like fire

Thought I was the only one

But that was just a lie

Cause I heard it in the wind

And I saw it in the sky

And I thought it was the end

And I thought it was the 4th of July

Pale in the flare light

The scared light cracks & disappears

And leads the scorched ones here

And everywhere no one cares

The fire is spreading

And no one wants to speak about it

Down in the hole

Jesus tries to crack a smile

Beneath another shovel load

And I heard it in the wind

And I saw it in the sky

And I thought it was the end

And I thought it was the 4th of July

Now I'm in control

Now I'm in the fall out

Once asleep but now I stand

And I still remember

Your sweet everything

Light a Roman candle

And hold it in your hand

Cause I heard it in the wind

And I saw it in the sky

And I thought it was the end

And I thought it was the 4th of July"

4th of July - Soundgarden - Superunknown - Chris Cornell - '94

cheated, looked it up , had no clue, great lyrics, dont own any Soundgarden, on my list, dude in my band had Badmotorfinger way back when it was new but that was all I listened to them aside from radio songs, my other friends band played Spoonman. I love Outshined. Heard a new band that I believe has the vocalist from Soundgarden and the song was awsome.

My "Tired" song, is called "So" from Fates Warning - Disconnected - 2000

I knew no one would know this Fates Warning is an aquired taste, that has been aquired by few.

Here a 4th of July song many should remember, I love this song, for the feel , groove and the meaning/cleverness of the lyrics. and...uh...it may very well be quite appropriate for today as it was when it was written.........

He was born on the fourth day of July

So his parents called him Independence Day

He married a girl named Justice who gave birth

To a son called Nation

Then she walked away

Independence he would daydream and he'd pretend

That someday him and Justice and Nation would

Get together again

But Justice held up in a shotgun shack

And she wouldn't let nobody in

So a Nation cried

Oh Oh

When a Nation cries

His tears fall down like missiles from the skies

Justice look into Independence's eyes

Can you make everyrhing alright

Can you keep your Nation warm tonight

Well Nation grew up and got himself a reputation

Couldn't keep the boy at home no no

He just kept running 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round

Independence and Justice well they felt so ashamed

When the Nation fell down they argued who was to blame

Nation if you'll just come home we'll have this family again

Oh Nation don't cry

Oh Oh

When a Nation cries

His tears fall down like missiles from the skies

Justice look into Independence's eyes

Can you make everyrhing alright

Can you keep your Nation warm tonight

The new band you are thinking of would be Audioslave, which, basically, actually is Rage Against The Machine plus Chris Cornell.

I would suggest picking up Badmotorfinger. "Outshined," "Rusty Cage," and "Jesus Christ Pose" are all on there. ("Spoonman" and "4th of July" are on Superunknown.) Great songs. I'm not as big on the Grunge Movement bands as I used to be (I would like to master . . . well, on second thought, learn the guitar, and, well, I ain't gonna be making progress anytime soon unless I branch out and listen to something different; realized that a while back), but Kim Thayl is an underrated guitarist. The man really knew how to use different tunings successfully.

All you need then is a copy of "Surfing with the Alien", pretty much covers A-Z

[Guest YellowJacket894]

That's Satriani. I know. Although I don't really own an entire album from the guy, I do have a few mp3s of him. I've been meaning to listen to him a bit further, but I usually don't have the cash to pick up an album when I want it.

Satriani is a very talented guitarist, I can say that. Documentary Channel has a film in rotation called "Guitar Legends." Satriani is on there. There's a bit where he just starts doing a two handed tapping technique and I'm using the DVR function on my satellite receiver to watch the bit over and over again to study just how he does it. I've tried the same concept, and I can't get it down right. I can start off a few riffs doing it, but my hands just can't stay synchronized long enough to do it all the way through.

"Satch Boogie," "Circles" (which are from "Surfing with the Alien), and "War" (which I think is from "The Extremist" or "Time Machine") are the recordings I have of him. They're great.

[Camino LS6]

A partial list of my "essential" guitarists:

Justin Hayward

Kerry Livgren

Michael Hedges

Stevie Ray Vaughn

Jimi Hendrix

Jeff Beck

[razoredge]

Yea Satch Boogie is the song !. I had tab for that two handed tapping for the song "Always With Me, Always With You" I believe it was. My buddy had SWTA I have Flying in a BLue Dream whcih is very good to.

Try to find the G3 DVD's......awsome!

heres about Joe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfing_with_the_Alien, not many instructors have students with the credits Joe has had. Seen on stage during any of the G3 tours, he's so happy, so humble, and so into it. He just lays his head back and sends it. Vai's the majician but Joes all about feelin it.

To bad Stevie Ray was not around to do a G3 with Joe and Steve

Kenny Wayne Shepard did, I guess, I'd like to find that DVD.

It should be noted that on the three G3 DVD's I did see Hendrix was covered on all of them. Most notable was Satriani. Via and Malmsteen doing Little Wing and Voodoo Chile............unfriginbelievable ! I wept, Im talkin convultions. To see the three greatest in their fields paying tribute to the man that changed the music, that changed me, blew me away.

[Guest YellowJacket894]

More lyrics. I don't know if anyone will know the band or not.

"Stroboscopic contortion-assault. Light bulb language

translated into fits

Codes of tendon-flickers I can't grasp. Focus lost as

I writhe and twitch

Random beats of blinding shockwaves. Erratic suns

that twist my eyes

Flashes pounding at my thoughts as the intrinsic pains

multiply

Muscle and tissue twined with every violent lash

Battered by an unrelenting shine

Immobilized by the increasing pains,

the procreating agonies of system breakdown

Lightwave frequency body-oscillation. Undeciphered

motions pass through my flesh

Bodily reverberation induced. A corporeal system lost

in its waves

Bleached into their existence by tremulous epileptic

strokes

Blasts of irregular pulsar-radiation - Triggering the

process of mind and body control

Lost to their control

A sentence - in flashes told

Enticed by their calls; - Insane, divine

Torn, undone, dissolved

By incandescent gods condemned

Burned. Their mark on my soul

To my inverted shadow confined

Twisted, spun.

Vertebras and spinal column unaligned

Joints shattered and torn apart.

Spasm-rendered distortion

Organic spiral.

Stretched and torn into a new

creation

A worldless thing, a thingless word.

Lightborn malformation"

They're interesting. If any modern band is remotely close to prog-rock, it could be either that band or possibly Tool.

"Parabola" - Tool, from Lateralus

[razoredge]

Im stuck on that one Yellowjacket dont know where to look

This was Justice and Independence '85 by John Mellencamp from Scarecrow, it really does have a great goove. Maybe a bit of the feel like Steve Millers "Take the Money and Run"

He was born on the fourth day of July

So his parents called him Independence Day

He married a girl named Justice who gave birth

To a son called Nation

Then she walked away

Independence he would daydream and he'd pretend

That someday him and Justice and Nation would

Get together again

But Justice held up in a shotgun shack

And she wouldn't let nobody in

So a Nation cried

Oh Oh

When a Nation cries

His tears fall down like missiles from the skies

Justice look into Independence's eyes

Can you make everyrhing alright

Can you keep your Nation warm tonight

Well Nation grew up and got himself a reputation

Couldn't keep the boy at home no no

He just kept running 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round

Heres mine for the day. This is an answer to BV's question about soft heartfelt songs. This one by the Masters of modern progressive music from their breakthrough '92 album, if you dont know this, you should :AH-HA_wink: money well spent as far as Im concerned (hint, hint)

Standing by the window

Eyes upon the moon

Hoping that the memory

will leave her spirit alone

She shuts the doors and lights

And lays her body on the bed

Where images and words are running deep

She has too much pride to pull the sheets above her head

So quietly the lays and waits for sleep

She stares at the ceiling

And tries not to think

And pictures the chain

Shes been trying to link again

But the feeling is gone

And water cant cover her memory

And ashes cant answer her pain

God give me the power to take breath from a breeze

And call life from a cold metal frame

In with the ashes

Or up with the smoke from the fire

With wings up in heaven

Or here, lying in bed

Palm of her hand to my head

Now and forever curled in my heart

And the heart of the world

Here's the rest of mine.

Roller Derby Queen by Jim Croce

Gonna tell you a story that you wont believe

But I fell in love last friday evenin

With a girl I saw on a bar room t.v. screen

Well I was just gettin ready to get my hat

When she caught my eye and I put it back

And I ordered myself a couple o more shots and beers

The night that I fell in love with a roller derby queen

Round and round, oh round and round

The meanest hunk o woman

That anybody ever seen

Down in the arena

She was five foot six and two fifteen

A bleached-blonde mama

With a streak of mean

She knew how to knuckle

And she knew how to scuffle and fight

And the roller derby program said

That she was built like a fridgerator with a head

Her fans call her tuffy

But all her buddies called her spike

You know that I fell in love with a roller derby queen

Round and round, oh round and round

The meanest hunk o woman

That anybody ever seen

Down in the arena

Round and round, go round and round

Round and round, go round and round

Round and round

Well I could not help it

But to fall in love

With this heavy-duty woman

I been speakin of

Things looked kind of bad

Until the day she skated into my life

Well she might be nasty

She might be fat

But I never met a person

Who would tell her that

Shes my big blonde bomber

My heavy handed hackensack mama

You know that I fell in love with a roller derby queen

Round and round, oh round and round

The meanest hunk o woman

That anybody ever seen

Down in the arena

Round and round, go round and round

Round and round, go round and round

Round and round
