Ah, you must be referring to my friend's liszt of
I love Liszt for playing a practical joke on [/quote]

Lest you get out of your no-socks-depth, a quick refresher on
Cockney rhyming slang:

Brahms and Liszt = pissed (as in drunk rather than off)
Berk = Berkly Hunt = something I just got moderated for in another thread.

If you thought that Elmore James was a bit too tame try this:

PS I haven't dusted my broom (nudge nudge wink wink)
for at least 6 hours.
OTOH that may be more information than you needed to know.

There is just so much more music out there that has a lot more oomph/pizazz than all of Bach's works put together (sans Toccata & Fugue in D minor). Over the years I have collected many different recordings of [I]Night on a Bare Mountain[/I],[/quote]
Great post.
Yes, Night on a bare mountain is obviously more rewarding than
the complete works of JSB.
If you rate the Toccata and Fugue in D minor with less contempt
than other things, what the **** was wrong with the Pasacaglia and Fugue in C minor I posted?????

You can't tell someone to like Bach. or anything else for that matter,
unless they have no feeling at all for music.

If I felt like it, I could explain why I could hate Bach.
The details are too numerous to mention, but if you are born
and bred on it, disliking it is like saying sex is overrated.

Ah. Every time people try to be clever with that Stockhausen, I completely miss it unless marked as such with <cockney rhyming-slang> or [spoiler][spoiler][/spoiler] tags. But in my defense I have to say that sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between someone posting in rhyming slang and someone posting incoherent Sacks Fifth Avenue because he's stoned out of his mind.

[spoiler]Stockhausen & Hindemith = shit (they're both German and it does rhyme when pronounced accordingly), Sacks Fifth Avenue & The Gap = crap[/spoiler]

I know, it's really totally bluesy when the (totally bluesy) guitar player playing (totally bluesiely) in a (totally bluesy) pentatonic key of A, and then (totally bluesiely) bends a (totally bluesy) D not to a (totally bluesy) Eb but to a (even more totally bluesy) D#. I'm positive that all the females have to restrain themselves from taking off their panties and doing cartwheels, but even if one has to call the riot police should the guitarist dare to bend the sting by pulling it *down*, I still think it's so lame, that people who compose elevator music probably stand a good chance of winning a lawsuit against the Elmore James estate for plagiarism.

Because the Toccata and Fugue is to pipe organ as [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFnaBEHb2dU[/url] is to electric guitar. You simply don't pick up a guitar and play [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfAWReBmxEs[/url], even if that song is approximately 972x greater than the Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor.

[QUOTE=__HRB__;200006]I prefer the orchestral arrangement by Ravel, but solo piano will do...
[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1U2bc96Z3QU[/url][/QUOTE]

Note to self: do higher quality drugs. The better known orchestral arrangement for NOABM is by Rimsky-Korsakov of course, not the guy who composed music that makes Bo Derek want to get nude (not a real achievement, it turns out). Though, Ravel did arrange Mussorgsky's other good composition, [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-JjNJAkBZc[/url].

As for the piano version, I think I prefer [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0-WjPyY9gY[/url] over Mussorgsky-Berezovsky, but possibly only because it isn't a live performance.

Some Old School Shit
 

Here's some old school death metal (or "Death"'s metal) from the band Death 1988 concert:

Wow, that live performance is absolutely top-notch for death metal. IIRC, the only really weak track on [I]Leprosy[/I] is [I]Primitive Ways[/I], which was written by the lazy fat guy. Now, I want to post something by Dark Angel, so I make the lame statement that other fat people manage to come with tons of charisma and talent, like the Atomic Clock [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noUXoivR2uE[/url].

Gene Hoglan is also responsible for the opening/title track of one of the last epic thrash albums:

Gene is awesome! I particularly enjoyed his time with Strapping Young Lad :smile:

Oh, and before I forget, here is an interview with Chris Barnes of CC and Schuldiner dissing Metallica:

Did someone mention single entendres?

I'm trying (if not succeeding) to come down from a sort of
comedic/musical high ATM.
A visit to my great Oxonian friend in Stony Stratford didn't help.
Neither did this:

Russ and I came back from the pub a bit steamed up, and
saw fit to play this classic at top vokume indefinitely.
After about 8 iterations, another housemate (PE teacher but
I don't know why I said that) came down in the nude and ripped
all the leads out of the amplfier.

I can't remember his precise words, but I don't think he was
very pleased.
