Told ya, Kor! That's actually my favorite pixies song as well, Eldar, although I know it may not be the best representative of their work.

 

Anyway,

Frank Black - I Heard Ramona Sing

I must admit, I laughed out loud the first time I heard the "ashtray" line.

I posted the lyrics. But Stagger Lee is still a personal favourite.

 

 

Nick Cave - Stagger Lee

 

 

 

It was back in '32 when times were hard

 

He had a Colt .45 and a deck of cards

 

Stagger Lee

 

He wore rat-drawn shoes and an old stetson hat

 

Had a '28 Ford, had payments on that

 

Stagger Lee

 

His woman threw him out in the ice and snow

 

And told him, "Never ever come back no more"

 

Stagger Lee

 

So he walked through the rain and he walked through the mud

 

Till he came to a place called The Bucket Of Blood

 

Stagger Lee

 

He said "Mr Mother****er, you know who I am"

 

The barkeeper said, "No, and I don't give a good goddamn"

 

To Stagger Lee

 

He said, "Well bartender, it's plain to see

 

I'm that bad mother****er called Stagger Lee"

 

Mr. Stagger Lee

 

Barkeep said, "Yeah, I've heard your name down the way

 

And I kick mother****ing asses like you every day"

 

Mr Stagger Lee

 

Well those were the last words that the barkeep said

 

'Cause Stag put four holes in his mother****ing head

 

Just then in came a broad called Nellie Brown

 

Was known to make more money than any bitch in town

 

She struts across the bar, hitching up her skirt

 

Over to Stagger Lee, she starts to flirt

 

With Stagger Lee

 

She saw the barkeep, said, "O God, he can't be dead!"

 

Stag said, "Well, just count the holes in the mother****er's

head"

 

She said, "You ain't look like you scored in quite a time.

 

Why not come to my pad? It won't cost you a dime"

 

Mr. Stagger Lee

 

"But there's something I have to say before you begin

 

You'll have to be gone before my man Billy Dilly comes in,

 

Mr. Stagger Lee"

 

"I'll stay here till Billy comes in, till time comes to

pass

 

And furthermore I'll **** Billy in his mother****ing ass"

 

Said Stagger Lee

 

"I'm a bad mother****er, don't you know

 

And I'll crawl over fifty good pussies just to get one fat boy's

ass hole"

 

Said Stagger Lee

 

Just then Billy Dilly rolls in and he says, "You must be

 

That bad mother****er called Stagger Lee"

 

Stagger Lee

 

"Yeah, I'm Stagger Lee and you better get down on your

knees

 

And suck my ****, because If you don't you're gonna be

dead"

 

Said Stagger Lee

 

Billy dropped down and slobbered on his head

 

And Stag filled him full of lead

 

Oh yeah.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

WHOA!

 

That is infinitely awesome! I went to college with those guys! How'd you hear about them? And how's the song? They were working on a CD when I knew them but having trouble 'cause they kept going through singers, I think. Amazing dual-guitar attack.

 

(I hope I didn't mention them on here and you heard about them through some underground 'zine or something...)

Led Zepplin? Anyway, Demons and Wizards has a really good cover of it on "Touched by the Crimson King".

[Musopticon?]

I can't listen to Bathory's Hammerheart(particularly Valhalla and Shores in Flames) without thinking Led Zeppelin anymore. :D Then again, I can't listen to Therion's Sirius B/Lemuria-double without thinking One rode to Asa Bay

Mate who recently spent 6 months in America told me about them, the song is ace, they finished with the CD, you can download 2 tracks off it from somewhere (legally)

 

Want the album but can't get bacause of the whole living in England and them being an unsigned American band thing, so this and some other song are the only ones' I can get.

 

*Hopes they get a record deal soon so I can buy their albums in England*

[Plano Skywalker]

Nintendo metal?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

if you are referring to "Demons and Wizards", I agree, it is a hokey name in this day and age...would have been fine in 1970 but not now.

 

it is, however, some of the best progressive power metal out there as it is a "super band" with 2 of biggest guns in the business.

[Musopticon?]

I should totally get a hobby or something. Here I am waiting a message from someone named Plano Skywalker and listening to a jazzy piece made by someone named Lou Gutman. Goodness gracious me! ^_^

 

Lou Gutman - Kick in the Face 99

[Musopticon?]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Nah, I was referring to Machinae. Just some idle writing.

 

And you should totally try bands like Angra or projects like Star One if you like progressive. Like, broaden your horizons before calling anything "the biggest". Nope, not patronising you, no offence ment.

 

Dragonforce - Through fire and flames

[Plano Skywalker]

no offense taken....I do like progressive metal. it is one thing when a rock song shifts between slow/fast, electric/acoustic. but it has such a different effect when done with metal.

 

anyway, thanks for the tip on those bands.

 

(and "bigger" is not always "better").

[Darth Drabek]

I took classes with Scott, the lead guitarist for Skeletonwitch, and shot the breeze with him many a time at the local record shop. He worked there, and talked music all damn day, as you would expect. I partied with them a few times, not often though, as I couldn't keep up with their drinking - and I was no slouch back then myself.

 

He plays a red and black Gibson SG. Left-handed. And they absolutely kill live. Encored with Iron Maiden's The Trooper at a show I saw. Only cover they did, but everybody remembered it. \mn/

[Daaave]

*Wonders how much it would be to fly to the U.S to see them live*

 

*Realises he's a college student with no money to do that no matter how cheap*

 

:'(

 

If you still speak to them make them tour England at some point.

 

Please.
