It's brilliant. And it's something that will get better the more times you listen to it as it's got a hell of a lot going on under the surface - unlike the usual shit making the mega dollars today.Quote:

No - though I have read much about it. Sounds like he signed for something that didn't suit him and he came here sulking.Quote:

Anyone else listen to aussie alt rock group Tonight Alive. Their new album came out today and its pretty good.

He's better with the old band or as guest artist with his friends like when he played with John Fogarty.https://youtu.be/XubwpLlEb8w
Great hits in our day...none of this soooo cool or sexy shit, just great fun.Quote:

We've whacked off plenty about Mastodon, but can't say enough how good Gojira are..
Best thing to come out of France since hot chicks or mustard.. Big on the environment too..

That would be awesome... maybe.
Godzilla with a new bass player.Quote:

All he's using to get his sound is a cranked EVH with a 4x12, a delay, and a noise suppressor. Holy Shit - it sounds huge - but familiar as well.
Crazier still he's using green turtle picks like me as well - I thought he'd be using a house brick to get that sound ffs.
Prepare to piss yourself laughing.

It's the 5150 I think. Pretty amazing bit of gear. They can do metal but also have a clean sound not unlike a Fender Blackface as well.Quote:

Horrible sounds coming from Maitland tonight - some people might class it as music - I'm not so sure.
Walked down from Shennanigans last night....what a horrible din coming from Riverside. Someone said there was "music" on....I'm with you.Quote:

And the two old pubs have lifted their acts as well. Even a new vegan place starting up next to Outback Jacks. Thank christ there is no real need to head into Newcastle CBD anymore.Quote:

Thanks Triple-J.
Never heard of Kendrick Lamar.
Not really my thing, but as far as rappers go he's pretty good I believe.
Quite a talented lyricist and manages to sate both the masses and the hardcore rap fans.
What exactly it is about Humble that made it so popular I don't know, but 20% of people voted for it so clearly a lot of people liked it.
Same crowd that voted for Pretty Fly for a White Guy and that insurance jingle a few years back?Quote:

I subscribed to his channel - good on him for getting into it as an indie artist - it's not easy.Quote:
