Hi all,

Thanks all.

    Well what can I say about this guy.. He's simply brilliant.

    I'll admit his latest album (Bubblegum), takes a few listens, but once you get him, boy is it worth it.

    Suppose you could compare that husky voice of his to someone like Tom Waits, or Cohen even.

    Fav tracks:

    Hit the city
    Wedding Dress
    ...

    On a side note if you have the time, please please go and listen to band called Blind Melon. They are absolutely amazing:

    fav tracks:

    Mouthful Of Cavities
    No Rain
    Soul One
    Galway
    Tones of Home
    Soup
    Time
    Soak the Skin

    Lanegan is great alright. Screaming Trees, qotsa, solo stuff all brilliant.

    Can't stop listening to Methanphetamine Blues and One Hundred Days recently, excellent tracks.

    I never did like Blind Melon, and I really gave them a chance, the guy's voice just bugs me :confused:

    Saw him there a couple of months ago, fantastic gig. He sounds like Clint Eastwood looks.

    Bubblegum is great. My personal favourites are Sideways in Reverse, Hit the City and Wedding Dress. I could actually listen to Lanegan's voice all day. So unusual but goddam soothing.

    Meh, I was a big fan of Screaming Trees but find his solo stuff a little uninspiring tbh. I went to London to see him play a gig with Masters Of Reality supporting and, after the Masters were finished, his set seemed like an hour and a half of the sound of paint drying. Dull, dull, dull.

    Heh, hey kid, don't get snotty just cos you wish you had been at that gig where the Masters consisted of Chris Goss (Kyuss & QOTSA producer) and Josh Homme and Nick Oliveri (Kyuss & Qotsa) and even Lanegan came out to sing with the Masters. Some of us were aware of these folks long before Songs For The Deaf ;):p:D
