I'm assuming you're stating that because you read my post wrong and assumed I didn't know, because I said "the bassist wrote most of it".

Well, I didn't, I said "The bassist wrote most of Ozzy's solo shit".

I know who Sabbath are.

^I was just trying to confirm it for you, you didn't look too sure on it. NOt trying to start a fight.

Done.


Well olde Jim sure fits the archetype of the Rock God:
- started out with nothing
- made it to the top/got strung out (not necessarily in that order lol)
- found dead in the toilet/bathtub or choked on his own vomit

He was something though. I've noticed lately that they've been playing a lot of funky Doors music on the classic rock radio stations - these kind of tunes I've never heard before (none of these songs are on the double disc CD or movie soundtrack CD). A lot of the tracks are really cool, got that funky Ghost Song style to them...


Eh BTW, I agree with the honourable mention for RUSH - I have new found respect for that group after seeing them live (its funny because I've hated Rush with a passion almost all my life, now I freakin love them!?)

whose guitarist built his own guitar to make sure he had exactly the sound he wanted, and penned perhaps the world's most recognized stadium anthem.

whose bassist felt he could neither sing nor write, yet penned the band's first #1 hit single in America, several #1's in Britain, and could jam well with Jack Bruce or Geddy Lee on any day

whose cynical and humorful drummer lent power and ferocity to the band, championing their "no synthesizer" days.

And whose flamboyant, gifted, and imaginative lead singer penned anthems, hits and ballads with heart and wit, giving the world songs that define not only rock and roll, but the human spirit, all the while pushing sexual and social boundaries.

Queen. There will never be another band to match or compare to Brian May, John Deacon, Roger Taylor, and the immortal and dearly missed Freddie Mercury.

Best post of this thread.

:::Yeah, I'm off topic again. Sue me:::

Let me help you out with all those new doors tunes you've been hearing. The last 3 remaining Doors member are digging up old archives of their music and are putting albums together. Check out their site and all the "new" doors tunes.

Agreed.

[DVS LT1]

This, it, crazy. The age we live in where a guy dead for years is coming out with new tunes... its neat.

I thought Ian Astburry was going to be the singer for the "new" Doors (but I'm glad they're doing this instead - no voice could replace Jim).

[MadMac56]

Best singer: without a doubt Freddy Mercury!

Best Band: Zep

[Thourun]

Comon no Offspring? Before you say it yea their recent stuff sucks but what about the self titled album and ignition? Gotta love kill the president and of course ignition. How many of you like Dexter and the rest of the band?

[Ridenour]

Best singer ever: Legion - from - Marduk (best band ever) hands down

[-Davo]

marduk...death metal band??

Offspring kick major ass (don't like their new shit), but I have their first 6 albums, and Smash, is one of my top 3 all time favorite albums, Ixney is in the top 5, and Americana, is number 6.

Didn't he do lead vocals for the cult?
