I couldn't look away.

This one's even better...


 
Re: USCHO Music Thread 2: Rock On, Amigo.

We watched all 3 1/2 hours of the History of the Eagles.
Great documentary that doesn't pull any punches.

Incesticide - Nirvana

Been awhile since I busted this out. The first eight songs are sure to be enjoyed by most who seriously enjoyed Nevermind - if there's such a thing as 'pop-hardcore', short of a few Husker Du songs, they invented it with "(New Wave) Polly". You take those, and Track 15 "Aneurysm" (Nirvana's best 'unheard' song) and you've got a good, "too long for an EP, too short for an LP" album. Tracks 9-14 are like Bleach - if you like the sludge aesthetic (I do), they've got merits, otherwise...YMMV.
 
Re: USCHO Music Thread 2: Rock On, Amigo.

Just found this clip, have never seen it since this show first aired. The Replacements on SNL, Jan 18, 1986. This was when Paul swore on air, making sure they were never invited back. And this was the song when they were sober. The greatest effin' band in the world.

The first Motley Crue album, Too Fast for Love, is naturally their rawest and it's actually pretty good as a result.
 
Re: USCHO Music Thread 2: Rock On, Amigo.

And, if you should happen to stumble across this cd in the used bins, grab it. It's a surprisingly great record. Tommy Stinson's post-Replacements band, Bash and Pop, album was called Friday Night is Killing Me.

U2 - 2/26/80 National Stadium, Dublin

Listened to this earlier. It's a radio/tv broadcast from a show that they did just before getting signed.


Now listening to U2 - 11/14/97 Miami


I just picked up the book "Killing Bono" which is written by one of Bono's childhood friends and is what the movie of the same name is based (loosely) upon. It's been hilarious and has shed a lot of light upon the early days of the band from an outsider's perspective.

Anyway, reading the book has pushed U2 back into my regular rotation.


See the movie, read the book if you are a fan. Great stuff.



EDIT:

2/12/81 The Hague, Netherlands

Radio broadcast with DJ intro and outro in Dutch (I assume)

Next/Now - 3/21/85 UIC Pavilion, Chicago A show I desperately wanted to attend, but my dad wouldn't let my 15 year old self go. How different things are now. I'd take my kid...

wow! now that sounds like a hell of a show!

btw - saw Rush at Summerfest, they were fantastic. They played most of the new LP which sounds to me like a throwback to the Fly By Night era to my ears

Re: USCHO Music Thread 2: Rock On, Amigo.

Most people would pick one of their first three as their best album, but I always thought Jubilee was.
