strange but true??


weezer are recording a new album which i've hear some of the old demos for and they sound great and i can't wait

The jock

hey girrela i agree with u to the fullest that jeff buckley was one of the best, last goodbye, Hallelujah,You & I and She Is Free are my favourite all time songs what about u what are ur fav. songs.did u ever hear of the bands finch or 3 doors down.cannonballs kid got a point about stained they should be on that list as well.

girella

well i dont really like stained but thats fair enough if you do. thanks for replying and is there anything on the list you are particularly interested in?
my fave jeff songs are
dream brother satisfied mind(even though its not his originally)grace, dinks song,witches rave hallelujah,the way young lovers do
you know there are actually too many to mention them all i just absolutely love him.
girella what a stupid name would you agree. this italian guy i know just started calling me that and it stuck but in actual fact my real nick-name is doobie!
my uncle called me that since i was three
little does he know...........!
i dont know why i said that as its irrelevant but maybe i dont know
have to go
nice talking again
have a good one!

The jock

hi ,girella or should i call u doobie.while on the topic of nicknames ive always been called billy,hence billy the kid.my cousin called me that when i was 5 because i was always goin around dressed up as a cowboy with those plastic guns.my cousin hasn't stop calling me that ever since or maybe he just forgot my name.anyway all thoughts aside i acctually do like a couple of other albums on that list including system of a down ,the doors, jeff buckley-grace.i agree with you about JB 's song the way young lovers do ,that was a classic.but what can i say ,every song of his was great.

Nice talking with ya but i got a go
stay tuned
the jock

girella

good to hear from someone with a bit of taste and glad you like them. yeah
anything by jeff is pretty much guaranteed to satisfy my needs is terms of music.
i could talk about my musicians all day but unfortunately it sometimes makes me sad to think that most of them are either dead or are never planning on coming to ireland which i think sucks to the full extent.
agree? anyone?
what about the fans like? i thought it was all about the fans. damnit im pissed now
right gotta go
see ye later my peeps

jahred

Rage against the machine - R.a.t.m
(hed) pe - broke
deftones - white pony

The jock

I agree with to to the fullest about great band members being dead. Some of the best that have passed on have been,Kurt Cobain,Cliff Burton ,Shannon Hoon,Jeff Buckley.I could go on and on but i won't.But it is about the fans, as we are the people that keep them going in life,buying their records and merchandise, goin to there gigs and so on.Without us, the life long fans they would'nt exist. I tottally agree with u about bands who dont give a f**k about giging in ireland. That just sucks1!


Arrivederci

The jock

girella

thats cool you agree. it does suck but nothing can be done.
ah sher **** it they'll come soon enough and if they dont ill find them!
gotta go so
see ye all later

The jock

Girella, what where the top three all time gigs that u went to?I suppose my top three all time would have to be, Metallica,linkin park and maybe Feeder.But i havent really been to very many concerts.What would be you top 5 favourite never seen gigs?Mine would have to be >Mettalica with cliff burton, Jeff buckley, Blindmelon, Incubus and Finch. At least theres still hope for me as 3 of those bands are still around,but they wont probally ever play in Ireland.And finally, What Band would u least like to see?to me that would have to be any boyband or pop bands out there.

Good luck!
Arrivederci
The jock

girella

the three best would have to be system of a down, tool and metallica.
top five i would have like to have seen would be
pearl jam unplugged in new york/any gig
alice in chains-any gig
metallica-cliff burton days
jeff buckley- absolutely any one will do!
blindmelon-woodstock 94.
anything **** that has no particular interest to me that sounds the same as all the crap thats out nowadays, you would never catch me at.
right so i better go
lecturer just walked into the class so that means ive to do some work

see you later peeps

cournioni

Excellent choices I really must dig out some old ST albums..

Anyways even tho theres one of these threads almost every week, here goes..

Failure - Magnified/Fantastic planet
Joy Division - Unknown pleasures/closer/Substance (all classics)
Jeff Buckley - Sketches/grace
The Melvins - Houdini
A perfect circle - thirteent step/mer de noms
Deftones - the white pony
Deadsy - Commencement
Send more paramedics - a feast for the fallen

And yes, the lostprophets are a living joke. I doubt theyll live to see a 3rd album.
