That's how I feel about Little Feat without Lowell George @Jett129
-
Little Feat without Lowell is an absurd idea, but then again I guess plenty of bands did such a thing after losing an integral (or flat-out defining) member.
Cheap Trick without Bun E. is also a wild idea.
But yep, looooove the Rod version of Faces, also Rod's early solo stuff like Every Picture Tells a Story. Oh and the Jeff Beck shit! Rod is underrated imo.

100% With you on that one!

[mention]Giles [/mention] ^^^That’s a very cool production of a great song [emoji106] Thanks for sharing!

Ah Fuck. Go well.

Fuck that sucks ass. I feel like COVID might have damaged him so much that opportunities to see him to his thing again might have already been taken from us. Great, great, singer and writer who had so many good projects.
Interesting King Crimson reference in the tribute.

He's been a huge musical presence in my life. I think the first time I heard him was via the Screaming Trees' inclusion on the Singles soundtrack — I think I must've been about 13. "Nearly Lost You" grabbed me and I was sorta up for whatever from then on.
I saw the Trees at Lollapalooza in '96 in New Orleans, and they were definitely a highlight of the day. Dust had just come out, which was also a killer record.
I've loved all of his stuff over the years, whether it be Bubblegum, The Gutter Twins, QOTSA, or generally anything he was ever involved with. I'll miss him for sure. Rest well.
-
Agreed.
My personal favorite of his that I have heard so far is his second solo album, "Whiskey for the Holy Ghost." So dramatic, dark, and beautiful:

Whoa, that'll be rad! Meowheaven.

@Matt be sure to scarf down a few handfuls of magic mushrooms and go see the exhibits
This is interesting–Nicole Atkins and Mark Lanegan covering Guns n Roses:
And yes I love even cheesy ballad GnR too (and Stephanie Seymour is absolutely gorgeous, whatever happened in the video and their real-life relationship):
I recommend exploring the Nicole Atkins rabbit hole thoroughly as well. What a singer she is!
-
@mclaincausey ha, she's an old friend of mine. Booked my first band at Arlene's Grocery in NY eons ago and stayed friends since — she's got some pipes for sure, helluva singer. I remember when she was doing some stuff w Lanegan.
-
Very cool @popvulture ! She's great–good friend to have! I had no idea she had worked with Lanegan until I started digging in to his more recent material postmortem. I kind of lost touch after Gutter Twins. I'm enjoying every minute of that.
-
Yeah she's a cool person, a very hard worker. I remember realizing at a certain point that the music industry is a really tough slog, and a work ethic like hers is what I really needed if I wanted to get anywhere. In the end, I definitely don't think I was cut out for it
I always get a kick out of hearing people bring her up, makes me happy to see her success. She's earned it!

A haunting melody. I really love KC and that song in particular.
Speaking of KC…. Seeing Fripp play Dead Kennedys gives me great joy
And I'm with you @popvulture it's a ton of hard work, and no matter how hard you work and how talented and creative you are, there is no guarantee of success.
