The Alternative/Experimental Music Thread V1: Obscure Stuff

Been sometime since someone mentioned Buckethead. He is a damn good guitarist. He was ex-Guns n Roses I believe.

I heard his album Giant Robot, never heard this though.

I like his other album too, Colma.



Haven't been to NH7 Weekender. Who is coming this year ?

 

[Desmond]

Line up hasn't been revealed yet. Probably not even put together yet.

However, I went last year. I saw Coshish, Providence, Bhayanak Maut, Skyharbor, The Down Troddence, Zygnema and Fear Factory plus some other bands from other arenas.

Have only heard about Providence, BM and FF.

 

[Desmond]

Dude, you gotta listen to Skyharbor. I mainly went to see Skyharbor, The Down Troddence and of course Fear Factory.

But there are artists from many other genres too. Other than the types I've mentioned. However, I spent most of my time at the Bacardi Black Rock arena, that's why I quoted those bands.

Buckethead is a damn good guitarist. i saw a few of his performances and i was left spellbound.

In news: Progressive music gets an official chart '45 years too late' - BBC News

Steven Wilson has been crowned the King of Prog Rock.

 

[Faun]

System of a Down are phenomenal - Chop Suey, Toxicity, Hypnotize etc

RATM too

 

[Desmond]

Used to listen to a lot of SOAD but haven't heard while. I personally like Mesmerize more than Toxicity.

I remember how Rage Against The Machine's Killing In The Name beat Xfactor UK's Joe McElderry for Christmas No. 1 song after a fan started a campaign to prevent any Xfactor winners from making it to Christmas no. 1. This was back in 2009.

I started listening again to see if those bands were still good. SOAD is pretty amazing with experimentation and execution. Same with RATM.

Tom Morello unique among guitarists for the weird **** that he pulls off.

Yeah, that guy did more to guitar techniques among others few.

Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Buckley, Radiohead are others who gave a little twist of their own to the music.

You write things that are difficult to understand.

Radiohead, Sigus Ros tried different techniques. Their music is pretty distinguishing.

I haven't listened much to air and pink floyd.

Pink Floyd is awesome and relevant even now for a 50+ year old band. Listen to Dark Side Of The Moon, their most classic album, and you will see.

However, lately I can't get this song out of my head.

I have "Wish you were here". Is DSOTM better than that ?

That "Trains" will be good to play on guitar. Pretty clear riffs. I will look up for a tutorial.

Found another good band. Heard about them but never really gave a listen.



The Cure and The Smiths are in queue. Porcupine Tree too.

Almost all Pink Floyd albums are awesome. I have the complete discography. DSOTM is on top of their essential albums list.

My favourite Pink Floyd albums (in no particular order) are:

- Dark Side Of the Moon
- Wish You Were Here
- Meddle
- The Division Bell
- Animals
- The Wall

Also, Pink Floyd have the best live shows. Just look at this:

It requires a capo. Doesn't sound as good on generic chords. I know, I tried.

Dude, Tool one of my most favourite artists. I have highest playcount for Tool on my last.fm. I have full Tool discography.

An easy song to play on the guitar:

An easy song to play on the guitar:

Yeah, it's pretty easy if you are good at barre chords.

I have been listening 10000 days, Lateralus and Aenima.

Which songs do you recommend ?

Don't have a capo. Guess I will just wait for a while.

The Cure is pretty good. The Smiths have just couple of good songs though.

 

[Desmond]

I have been listening 10000 days, Lateralus and Aenima.

Which songs do you recommend ?

Pretty much whole albums I'd recommend. However these are what I listen to most:

In Lateralus, these are my favourite songs: The Patient, Mantra, Schism, Parabol, Parabola, Lateralus, Disposition, Reflection.

In 10000 Days: Vicarious, Wings For Marie, 10000 Days, The Pot, Lipan Conjuring, Lost Keys, Rosetta Stoned, Intension, Right In Two.

Whenever I listen, I usually listen to these back to back in sequence.

Been a while since I heard Aenima, but listen to H, 46 & 2 and Aenima.

If you got it, definitely listen to Sober from Undertow.

Barre chords are pretty easy. Adds some new dimensions to what you play.

Capo is not really necessary, but some songs don't sound as well without one.

Haven't head any song by The Cure or The Smiths, any song you recommend?

Thanks, I have been listening to those. Gave a listen to Sober. It's quite in the forming years.

Yeah, barre chords just expands the amount of stuff you can play. But there is always a great difficulty curve going from open to barre. That took some time. There are still some weird chords where shifting in time takes some practice but I have gotten better at it now.

I will look for a tutorial of the song.

The Cure is pretty popular, I never got around to listen their stuff.
Try Boys Don't Cry, Friday I'm in Love, Lullaby, Wrong Number.

The Smiths. Still haven't listened to all albums.
