they really don't have much of a policy any more. as long as its not cussing then you usually don't hear boo.

i had to take down my smashing pumpkins poster but i was allowed to leave my System of a Down and Ted Nugent posters up....


and el scorcho...your dislike for a band because of all the EV wannabes is acceptable. He has a spectacular voice and they were a musically sound band. creed and all the other cookie cutter bands did destroy the raspy voice thing...

on the subject of creed....has there ever been a more dispised band by people who like actual good music? i also enjoyed hearing their crap blaring out of 25% of the dorm rooms as you walked back to your room...

'cause Nugent votes the big "R"

[Libertine]

I find Eddie Vedder's voice to be one of the most grating in the world. Unfortunately, his vocal style has also become one of the most imitated over the last ten years. That makes me like him and them even less.

That's funny, because Vedder's voice is basically a Ray Charles' impression who, in turn, imitated Leadbelly.

Leadbelly was of course imitating "The Little Giant" Steven Douglas' voice from recordings of the Lincoln-Douglas debates. Guess which one of these is made-up.

I know my wife had several of her heavy metal classics (Abba, Air Supply just to name a few) confiscated by her Coach on road trips.

I'm shuddering at Abba and Air Supply being considered "heavy metal classics."

I believe (fervently HOPE) that was originally intended as sarcasm

[Purple Haize]

Well, she called them her Rock Music tapes!! I mean she was a bad lady on the court, and could SERIOUSLY HOOP (ASK SCAR) I still never figured out how/why she was trying to get pumped up for a big came by listening to "I'm All Out Of Love" etc. Meanwhile, I am smashing lockers listening to "Search and Destroy' and "Am I evil" My how opposites attract!!

^ Username: Song or type of marijuana?

[Sly Fox]

"Search and Destroy" ... you are truly old school. Since you are of the same vintage as I am, do I know you? Scar can hook you up with my identity.

[El Scorcho]

It's actually "Seek and Destroy", but whatever.

[Purple Haize]

Good pick up on that one. It was the mass chanting of Ssseeeaaarrrrcccchhhiiiinngggg, at the concerts that have warped my thinking!
As for me Sly Fox - My collegiate career did NOT transpire here at the worlds most exciting university. But the years spaned from 88 - 92, so yes I am an old fart!

[Sly Fox]

We prefer the phrase "old hags" around here.

There is now a retro Pewcast up and available for download. Deliverance, Tourniquet, Holy Soldier, Guardian, Neon Cross and Messiah Prophet. I'm hoping to track down some other bands to do this again in the near future -- maybe Whitecross, Bloodgood, etc.

Please elaborate on this- I'm still attempting to become technically savvy on the whole online music thing...

[SuperJon]

You and technical savvy are two words that don't go together.

You and short on the other hand...

2 words for you, sir:

BEATING

Dude, it'd be like fighting a midget. I could put my hand on your forehead and you'd just swing your arms at the air.

When you click the link, there will be a "Download MP3, 35:17min 32.3MB" link. If you click that, it will either play the MP3 or download it (to be sure it downloads, right click and select 'Save Link As'). OR, if you don't want to download it at all, just hit the play button on the player that's embedded on the site (right below the link I just told you about).

If you've got iTunes, search the 'Podcast' area in the Music Store for "View From the Pew." Mine is there, and you can subscribe in iTunes for free.

Podcasting works the same way as blogging -- the subscription just includes a link to a media file (either audio or video) that the "podcatcher" will play (or at least download). By subscribing, you automatically get the show every time I update it.

[SuperJon]

I appreciate the effort, it was great. However, I don't think he'll get it.

I got it smart a....

we dont' have I-tunes but we use Napster. Due mainly to the fact that we don't have IPods, we have Samsung YP-Z5 (identical to the Nano but w/ bigger screen)

assume I can still download into Win Media and sync it over but haven't tried

[phoenix]

Yep, you can.

You might also look at Juice, which will let you subscribe to podcasts and download them automatically. It will sync up with Media Player just fine (it's what I used to use, but since iTunes integrated everything, I like it a bit better. And I've got a Nano, so no compatability problems there). Or you can try Pod Spider, which works a lot like iTunes but recognizes non-Apple MP3 players. Assuming you want to listen to podcasts, that is ...

[PAmedic]

assuming that its various artists mixed together, not in album format or anything?

Yep. It's basically a radio show that you can download.

To prove I have WAY too much down time..... After spending the last couple of weeks reliving my youth by jamming to my iPod, (I am NOT a poser like some medical personnel on this board, I have the REAL stuff!!) I have come up with two lists of my favorite Resurrection Band songs. One list is their "jams" and the other is their "mellow" tunes. They have such a large number of songs, it was the only way I thought I could give a good sample

Jams:
1. Gameroom - Bootleg
2. Love Comes Down - Between Heaven and Hell
3. Babylon - DMZ
4. First Degree Apathy - Mommy Don't Love Daddy Anymore
5. White Noise - DMZ
6. Silence Screams - Silence Screams
7. Defective Youth - Hostage
8. Child of the Blues - Innocent Blood
9. Military Man - DMZ
10. Waves - Awaiting Your Reply

Mellow:
1. The Chair - Mommy Don't Love Daddy Anymore
2. Shadows - Between Heaven and Hell
3. Everytime It Rains - Rainbows End
4. Broken Promises - Awaiting Your Reply

6. The Struggle - Colours
7. In Change - Lament
8. Colours - Colours
9. The Return - Awaiting Your Reply
10. No Alibi - DMZ

I still believe that Glenn has THE GREATEST rock and blues voice of all time, "Secular" or "Christian". Wendy, well there are about 3 good songs (Beggar in the Alleyway, First Degree Apathy, and White Noise) outside of that................her tamborine playing is very good.
Any additons/subtractions? Other groups?

[Sly Fox]

Love Comes Down is one of my allt-time favoes from any genre.

Glenn had a phenomenal voice while Wendy wasn't very good IMHO. I wish he had sang all their stuff. But I have to give Sammy Hagar the nod in all-time greatest voices for that style. Just my personal preference.

[Brokeback Flamer]

I don't know SLY. Glenn has such more range with his voice then Hagar does. Look at the way he can rip out the blues and "slower" songs. Sammy is really good at the high heavy fast stuff, but would struggle with the anything else.
Wendy, just struggles
