Are you listening to new bands? Keeping it nostalgic? And do you listen to music while playing AHII?
I usually listen to punk from the 70's - early 90's w/ a few selections from this century. But I have recently been turned on to another genre... well one song from it anyways.
Right now I am listening to the "Scorpions". They are not punk but I am really liking "Sails Of Charon" from '77 :rock

Horror Movie Tribute to the song:

This is just a guess, but I think Snailman formally "Lusche" probably likes these guys :)
Please post what has you tappin your foot lately.

On a Eric Claption kick right now: From The Cradle. But my CD is so old and scratched it skips on my favorite tune - It Hurts Me Too.
-
Sum 41-Were all to Blame, Fat Lip, Still waiting.. :rock
Blink 182-First date, Feeling this, Down.

Rosetta Stoned (http://youtube.com/watch?v=zIJAfbiRX7s)
That song kicks some serious heiney! Love the lyrics.
Nightwish seems to hold a lot of my attention recently.

Blink 182-First date, Feeling this, Down.
I respect that you like that stuff; but do not think that is punk. Bubble-gum pop/punkish is the correct genre for that. Blink used to be punk... waaay back in the day.
**I'm not dissing what you like, just some enlightening info. from a punker.**
Look up these bands:
Minor Threat
Operation Ivy
Lagwaggon
The Addicts
Misfits <- The song Rat Fink is where my name comes from.
The Aquabats <- your Travis Barker started out w/ them.
Crass
GG Allen
Agent Orange
The Clash
Bad Religion
The Bouncing Souls
Descendents
RAMONES
The Dead Milkmen
Dead Kennedy's
I could go on and on and on and...

That song kicks some serious heiney! Love the lyrics.
The lyrics weren't at all what I expected when I first heard the song. I expected something much darker.
Alrighty, then ... picture this if you will.
10 to 2 AM, X, Yogi DMT, and a box of Krispy Kremes,
in my "need to know" pose, just outside of Area 51
Contemplating the whole "chosen people" thingy
when a flaming stealth banana split the sky
like one would hope but never really expect
to see in a place like this.
Cutting right angle donuts on a dime
and stopping right at my Birkenstocks,
and me yelping...
Holy f**king sh*t!
Then the X-Files being,
Looking like some kind of blue-green Jackie Chan
with Isabella Rossellini lips, and breath that reeked of
vanilla Chig Champa
Did a slow-mo Matrix descent
Outta the butt end of the banana vessel
And hovered above my bug-eyes, my gaping jaw,
and my sweaty L. Ron Hubbard upper lip,
and all I could think was:
"I hope Uncle Martin here doesn't notice
that I pissed my f**kin' pants."
So light in his way,
Like an apparition, that
He had me crying out,
"F**k me
It's gotta be
the Deadhead Chemistry
The blotter got right on top of me
Got me seein' E-motherf**kin'-T!"
And after calming me down
with some orange slices
and some fetal spooning,
E.T. revealed to me his singular purpose.
He said, "You are the Chosen One,
the One who will deliver the message.
A message of hope for those who choose to hear it
and a warning for those who do not."
Me. The Chosen One?
They chose me!!!
And I didn't even graduate from f**kin' high school.
You'd better...
You'd better...
You'd better...
You'd better listen.
Then he looked right through me
With somniferous almond eyes
Don't even know what that means
Must remember to write it down
This is so real
Like the time Dave floated away
See, my heart is pounding
'Cause this sh*t never happens to me
I can't breathe right now!
It was so real,
Like I woke up in Wonderland.
All sorta terrifying
I don't wanna be all alone
While I tell this story.
And can anyone tell me why
Y'all sound like Peanuts parents?
Will I ever be coming down?
This is so real
Finally, it's my lucky day
See, my heart is racing
'Cause this sh*t never happens to me
I can't breathe right now!
You believe me, don't you?
Please believe what I've just said!
See the Dead ain't touring
And this wasn't all in my head.
See, they took me by the hand
And invited me right in.
Then they showed me something
I don't even know where to begin.
Strapped down to my bed
Feet cold and eyes red
all alone in my head
Am I alive? Am I dead?
Can't remember what they said
Golly-geen, sh*t the bed.
Hey ...
Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position.
Such a heavy burden now to be the One
Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending,
To write it down for all the world to see.
But I forgot my pen
sh*t the bed again ...
Typical.
Strapped down [to] my bed
Feet cold and eyes red
all alone in my head
Am I alive? Am I dead?
Sunkist and Sudafed *
Gyroscopes and infrared
Won't help, I'm brain dead
Can't remember what they said
Golly-geen, sh*t the bed
I can't remember what they said to me
Can't remember what they said to make me out to be a hero
Can't remember what they said
Bob help me!
Can't remember what they said
We don't know, and we won't know (x12)
Golly-geen, sh*t the bed!

"Brutality and Bloodshed For All"
My old college roommate went to go see GG Allin play in San Francisco came back swearing it was the worst show he's ever seen. Turns out, he was in the front row and got hit smack in the face by one of GG Allin's poop bombs and other bodily fluids.

I have Social D.
That's why I put "I could go on and on and on and..." Believe me, I have ALOT more bands to name, but it would overwhelm everyone. The bands I like are not found on the radio unless you have sat. radio.

Did I say I was listening to punk?
Blink 182 isn't even around any more.
It's just what I grew up around, to me its "punk"
I dont like that 1970s stuff that is "real punk" because I didn't grow up listening to it (no offense). It's just what I grew up to and its what I like. Plus, I dont like that "hardcore punk" stuff that MXPX tries to copy off of..... :aok

If it's too old, you're too loud.

I have a promo copy of the disc. I've listened to it a few times but it does nothing for me. If you want it, it's yours.

You're really doing yourself a disservice by only listening to the music of the past 10-15 years.
Rock & Roll has been around for over 40 years and theres great stuff spanning that entire period.
I grew up listening to alternative rock/pop rock/punk rock of the late 90's/early '00''s, mainly Green Day (as I'm less than proud to admit today :lol)
A couple years ago one of my friends got me into Iron Maiden... very good music... browsed around a bit more... Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, AC/DC... all lots of cool music. Stayed in the late 70's/early 80's for the most part (I don't like much music past the mid-80's honestly). Even more recently I got into some even earlier music, some of the bands that really laid down the foundations of Rock. The Who, Cream, Pink Floyd, and especially Led Zeppelin. I love Led Zeppelin. Really unique, interesting stuff. Jimmy Page is an awesome guitar player and Robert Plant is an amazing vocalist.
I've never been able to get really into punk, as by definition it is very simplistic... and I like complicated music.

I'm mucho glad a stunning number of younger folks than me (47) are turning on and tuning in...to Zepp. They are by far my fav band and they have been since I was 12...their manager....peter grant...was my hero as a kid..and I was fortunate enough to meet him several times prior to him passing. peter grant changed the way bands got paid..and took the bulk of the gate from the promoters...and gave it to the bands.
The one thing I get a kick out of is seeing young kids walking around the malls and stores and whatnot with the official Zeppelin 77' Tour T-Shirt.... I've told a few of the kids wearing them that I saw that tour...and some of them actually freak out....I still have 4 original tpoops from it in mint condition..(the original shirts had sparkel stuff in the lettering) along with 2 ticket stubs...and one full ticket that was never used from the dreaded tampa stadium riot show. I got to see two of the shows on that tour....and to this day...it ranks up there with some of my all time biggest thrills.

Couldn't agree more Motherland. :aok As I grew older, I also discovered that music wasn't magically "invented" the same year I got my first stereo. I also think that pretty much everything past the mid-80's blows. (Thank you MTV :mad:) Pete Townsend once said that The Who would never make it starting out in today's music industry, because the band was too ugly. I wonder how many other great new bands we'll never know about because of this mentality.
In closing, I'll throw out a few more bands for consideration:
Early Blue Oyster Cult (before "Don't Fear the Reaper")
Early Kansas (before "Dust In the Wind")
Nazareth (everybody should own a copy of "Hair Of The Dog")
The Alan Parsons Project
Pink Floyd (right up there with Zep)
ELP
Lately, I've been cranking Mahogany Rush. :aok

Thank goodness my parents raised me on 60's - 80's rock :) Oldies & classic rock. The punk was something I listened to.

With the religious discussion I've been dabbling in here today I'm digging something brutal and theological so Deathspell Omega's 'Kenose' EP and this particular song 'At the Left Hand Ov God' by Behemoth:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHhZ2LThpv4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHhZ2LThpv4)
I had to balance out all the bible discussion with a solid dose of Satanism and brutality. :lol :rock
There is some beautiful scenery in the film clip, though.

Then i like the doors, led zep, hendrix, the cult, boston, george thorogood, ted nugent, sabbath - from the rock genre
And - metallica (up to .. and justice), megadeth, slayer, maiden, fear factory, pantera, priest, testament - from the metal genre
Then - death, dimu, obituary, cradle of filth, amon amarth - from the (singer sounds like he's gargling with razor blades) genre
