Now Listening To (The Resurrection), Musical Musings Options

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

I finished Masks of Nyarlathotep. It was good. It runs very much like a tabletop rpg, because of course, it is one. If you like rpgs, you will probably enjoy it. Like Rogue One however, do not get too attached to anyone. Not everyone dies, but lots of main characters do.

I had actually played through it back in the day, but I had forgotten almost everything. It was a nice trip down memory lane.

Khajiit really wants to check this out.

Was kind of hoping for a Rick-roll. Came away disappointed.

I see that and raise you one Sailor Moon intro


By golly, how can someone who's supposed to fight evil wear a skirt that short?

I was always more partial to this one from Sailor Moon

Mini-skirts are perfect for fighting in! There is nothing to catch your legs.

I've listened to this video of Brahms' first symphony twice within the past two weeks. Besides being a fine interpretation it seems very well recorded, by the admittedly limited extent I'm able to judge such things nowadays. Good camera work too!

Was listening to a link from mALX while typing a reply or two over on the ESO forums, when this one started playing. Just listening to it on the hidden tab, it's pretty awesome, and I don't even understand the words. I just love the sound of his voice and the harmonics on this one.

Ooh, that is an old Simon and Garfunkel song! Here is the lyrics for it, they are good!

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping

And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains...

Within the sound of silence


In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night..

And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share

And no one dared...

Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools, " said I, "You do not know
Silence, like a cancer, grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"

But my words, like silent raindrops fell..

And echoed in the wells, of silence


And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming

And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"...

And whispered in the sounds of silence

Khajiit doesn’t really care for Disturbed, but they did a decent job covering that song. Kind of like when Metallica covered Bob Seger’s “Turn the Page”. It’s the same song but the different bands put their own spin on it and changed the tone of it.

[RaderOfTheLostArk]

Unpopular opinion, but...I don't like Disturbed's cover of the song. I wouldn't say it was bad or that I hate it, but I don't think it is quite as great as most other people do. I don't know what exactly it is, whether David's (lead singer) voice doesn't seem to fit in my mind or what, but I didn't care for it.

Covers versus originals is enough for a thread of its own.

Metallica doing Thin Lizzy's "Whiskey in the Jar"

Heart doing Zepellin's "Battle of Evermore"

Judas Priest doing Fleetwood Mac's "Green Manalishi"

Brian Auger Trinity with Dylan's "Wheels on Fire" - if you're old enough to remember that one.

I agree = LOVED Metallica's "Turn the Page!"

Here is a good cover whose vid is a "Who's Who!" :

I feel the same about when a band does a cover song. When they change it to match their own style, it makes it a new song, something worth listening to. When they try to make it just like the original I do not see the point. Why should I bother listening to it, when I can just listen to the original.

In that vein I give you The Foo Fighters - Baker Street. They took a classic soft rock ballad and made it a blistering alternative anthem.

Khajiit does like the Metallica “Whiskey in the Jar” (then again this one is just a fan of that folk song in general), but Heart did a cover of “Battle of Evermore”?!!! Khajiit must find this!

[RaderOfTheLostArk]

Shinedown did an excellent cover of Simple Man. Easily one of my favorite covers and I think it is better than the original.

GOTTA GET DOWN ON FRIDAY!

Real talk, it was sad how pathetic people were to harass, bully, and even send death threats to her after this song became big. Like, really? [censored] I hate the Internet sometimes. I don't get why it people have to feel like they're so tough when they hide behind a damn phone or computer screen.

But there was a video on the side showing a recent performance of her's, so I guess she has gotten good and is making something a career out of all of this. Good for her.
