The Refused, New Noise http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31EMSCNZzU8 these guys were the first show I went to without my mom (first show ever was Aerosmith and Brother Cain, mom took me to that one) Shutdown, Ensign, and Fastbreak were also at that show, though they were nobody at the time...

veritech-z Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I love cover songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTtp7oUNGCw&mode=related&search= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPTToqSY-OM&mode=related&search= and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozvYUb0oGik I wish there were a better video of this, the album version is WAY better- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 woh, how did I miss this thread? have to say that Buddy Rich is awesome, I was just listening to him a few days ago...great music to draft to. Has anyone mentioned Broken Social Scene yet? Awesome band, fantastic live...this song really doesnt do them justice, but here it is: How about this classic video from Radiohead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqsyXdj_p_I Sorry to tell everyone, but true punk died in the late 80s. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R11x32WoxrM&mode=related&search= and yes Medeski Martin and Wood also rock! how about some Thom Yorke solo stuff- The Erase, Black Swan: For a trip back to my youth, The Specials! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28TeUbYvXS0 I couldnt find my favorite Ska band, Mephaskaphilies anywhere....what ever happend to those guys....sigh. Wish I could find some good Dead Milkmen stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Did somebody say the Dead Milkmen? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hQQ_wA0HxE Nice specials song, Sparky! I wanted to find the new Specials version of Pressure Drop, but i didn't see it anywhere...by the way, is this punk enough for ya? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2s6F2qybTM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hl0dxxYZ-sA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFF7jzVfSB0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 yes! Minor Threat, descendants and Black Flag. bands I grew up on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I wanted Bitchin' Camaro, but had to settle for Punk Rock Girl...there was a cheesy homemade video of BC, but it wasn't even the whole song... I agree, they don't make punk like that anymore, but the newer stuff is good. It's funny to see who went on to do what...Ian McKay (minor threat) went on to Fugazi: Henry Rollins (black flag) went on to Rollins Band... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZSrXsGct6g After Milo (from the descendents) went to college, they did some stuff as "All", but I wasn't that into it...then he came back and they did some other stuff. 7 seconds never really went away, and between them, Minor Threat, and Youth of Today, we ended up Straight Edge music. Then Ray of Today from Youth of Today (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxk-KIdmenA)started Shelter, a rockin Hare Krishna band that doesn't have any good videos on Youtube...(this is the most professional one I could find...Sabatoge, anyone?)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qY7gBIFO_hk&mode=related&search= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Sparky, tell me you liked these guys! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1dSMaWZoX4 (singer from that band went on to form this band:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngZXgBH7v9c) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 lol, Gorilla Biscuits, Awesome! Its been years since I heard anything from them. I remember having a bunch of terrible quality cassette tapes of their stuff recorded from my friends vinyl collection. I had no idea what sound quality was then...I just thought thats how it was supposed to sound...LOUD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 in my musical evolution, when I started to listen to Pavement and early RHCP..I got into this band: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZ-pmMGQOxo my ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-ex girlfriend "borrowed" all their albums from me... never to be seen again.

veritech-z Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 When I was in a band in high school, we noticed that a disproportionate number of punk bands had what we called "theme songs", that is: songs that were named after the band. We wanted to do a cover set of all of them, I thought it would be great! Minor Threat had one, Gorilla biscuits ("Gee Oh Are Eye double A biscuits!!!), Youth of Today, I think Bad Brains had one if I remember correctly...it was going to be so dope...Hmmm...Bad Brains, you say? Don't mind if I do... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxCd7txAjoM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Here's another rocking cover set: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1WWVTAd1SA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1C-Bcz306o&mode=related&search= (robert smith doesn't look like he digs this performance too much...)

veritech-z Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Sweet! hey, how come we're the only ones playing this game? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YF-ZTycbZLE Here's another cover set: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Se4nKy-8As http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtgcmqFEON0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Hey that last link is live from Emos in Austin. Man that place is nuts, half of it burned down a long time ago and they just left the burned out shell there....you can see it to the left in that video. I've seen TONS of bands there over the years, De La Soul, The Roots, Deathcab, centromatic and my personal favorite show... Le Tigre- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVdgfbVk2LY I think we've dipped into the realm of obscurity and alienated ourselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Hard rockin' girls rock so hard! Nobody rocks harder than Doughnuts though... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBNubvGnwDg&mode=related&search= Sigh...I guess we can let everybody put their mainstream music back up...

Sparky Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Holy Sh!t, those chicks are nuts. A little hard for my tastes, but still....wow. How bout some L7, saw them live many many years ago along side Ministry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Covers? How about these? Tool covering Led Zeppelin (Maynard needs dancing lessons, huh?) Sound is not the best here, but this is probably my favorite cover. Anyone have any Tool covering Kyuss??? That's like my holy grail... still haven't found it though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmWVTMFfar0 Foo Fighters covering Prince (lyrics are NOT work safe): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vm5sIDp0CE4 I couldn't find a video for any of Les Claypool's covers of Pink Floyd's Animals or Wish You Were Here, but those are pretty kick ass covers too.

veritech-z Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Here's one of my favorite covers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeHU6p_74rk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jor99k_g8p4 The one I'm really trying to find is Face to Face's cover of Paint it Black. I used to have a cassette of it that was recorded off of a 45, but it got "borrowed" by a girl I used to hang out with, along with the rest of my cassettes... Maybe I should call in...the CD Repo Man! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maN3JCRfhTs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
